Anyone else a fan?
Point Blank and Hell In The Pacific are uncompromising masterpieces. I haven't seen Deliverance in years, but I have fond memories of it. I'll be rewatching it soon.
I actually hated Excalibur, though.
Next I'll be watching The Emerald Forest and Zardoz. I'm also very curious about The Exorcist II: The Heretic. Seems to be insanely polarizing.

if so, I really liked that movie. :/
Yeah, I think that's the one. I thought it was really boring and sloppily directed, but I have to wonder if it was intentionally sloppy.
boring... ok, I can't really say what another person would find boring or not. I guess I found parts to be badly edited, or badly constructed maybe? But overall, I liked the feeling of it.
I admit, though, it's been a number of years since I've watched it- like 10, maybe? so I suppose I should watch it again and see if it's aged badly.
That can happen pretty easily- I watched 2001: A Space Odyssey a couple weeks ago with my boyfriend, and he'd never seen it before- it was so bad it was funny. We decided it would be a great "Mystery Science Theater 3000" movie though.

What the fuck? 2001 is one of the greatest movies ever made.

I really hope that you tell us what you thought of Zardoz. And if you get a chance, Exorcist II: The Heretic.
Whenever I think of John Boorman, I can't help comparing Nicole Williamson as Arthur and Richard Burton as Arthur.
I own a copy of Zardoz, so I'll definitely get back to you after I watch that, which should be soon. EII probably won't be as soon, since Blockbuster is selling off their copy and I don't want to pay $10 for it. Would have been nice to rent. Oh well.

I think for it's time, yes. But I had a hard time watching it last month, and I live for well done sci fi, this just doesn't do it for me, not now anyway.

Rewatched Deliverance last night. It is definitely a good movie. The shot composition and camera movement are stellar, and Boorman does a great job maintaining a tense, uneasy atmosphere throughout.

Dude, we're waiting to hear what you thought of Zardoz.

Watched Zardoz last night, just for you. I enjoyed it. Boatloads of great satire, and some pretty cool images. The opening scene was particularly great.
Could have done without the Plan 9 From Outer Space opening monologue, though.
