seriously. This is all we need. Pee Wee 4 lyfe niggas!

I loved his cameo in the reno 911 flick.

EDIT: Also Tim Burton's best movie by far. I liked his next few, but I agree with awepittance in saying that from sleepy hollow on = down hillz....

28 Weeks Later- Just watch it.

2001: A Space Odyssey - Pure blackness with Ligeti's requiem playing against it (or was it the Lux Aeterna?)

I'm sure I'll think of more soon.

no, it's magnolia

magnolia is definitely up there. i bet you haven't seen "short cuts" or "nashville," johntqs

"short cuts" may shock you

I've been watching Dune (1984) a lot, it's become my favorite David Lynch film

all the acting is so over the top and yet i totally believe all the characters.

that intro where virginia madsen THX's onto the screen with just stars behind her and she starts "a beginning is a very delicate time..." and fades in and out, i love it

i can't find an english version of it online for my post

i really fucking love Dune ,warts and all.

edit: one notable thing about it for me is it has some amazing and abstract looking sets and locatios. there aren't very many scifi movies that work this hard on not just the set construction but a really impacting visual style besides maybe 2001 or Alien

the emperor's throne room is really gorgeous, most of the sets are really well done. even the harkonnen's areas, as stark as they are, seem to make them that much more villainous
