"In The Mouth of Madness", an underrated horror movie. It's quite a mindfuck.

[ReNo]

Sweet, never heard of that, but from the title alone it's clearly Lovecraft inspired which instantly appeals to me! I'll seek it out.

Warby i completely disagree with you on many of them. Bolded are films that i consider to be great. At least there are some overlaps with the ones that you like so our tastes are only like 90% different Ingmar Bergman is my favourite director btw. I have seen almost his entire filmography.

[twiz]

yay cinema paradiso

[⌐■_■]

had some good fun again with anders thomas jensen:

still think blinkende lygter is the best =)

also:

i think 'In The Mouth of Madness' will be next

[Sentura]

the green butchers is one of the best danish movies ever! everyone should see it, it's awesome

also i just finished season 3 of supernatural. a little bad acting aside, it kicks ass.

[Grinwhrl]

Southland Season 3

Overall it was really good. I'm a sucker for cop shows like this and the Shield. Some of the emotional reasoning bits felt very forced though.

[insta]

That poor door must be terrified.

[Jetsetlemming]

Last night a steam group admin threatened to ban me unless I try Breaking Bad. I ended up watching the entire seven episode first reason in a row.

[Grinwhrl]

That poor door must be terrified.

[deceiver]

Spending the afternoon checking blu-ray movies in stores with Dark makes me realize all the movies I need to watch =P. movienightsoonmethinks

[Zyn]

and watched "Event Horizon", another movie with Sam Niell going batshit insane. This movie is clearly an inspiration behind "Dead Space"...
