A few notes: Guy Maddin may be the most exciting and original filmmaker currently working in North America. The Fire Within is Louis Malle's early masterpiece. Faithless is from a screenplay by Ingmar Bergman. La Guerre Est Finie ("Lenin is not a prayer wheel!") is one of the most intelligent political films of the 1960s. Bad Education may be the absolute masterpiece of Queer Cinema. Peeping Tom is a self-consciously cinematic thriller that out-Hitchcocks Hitchcock. Pasolini's Salo was intended to be 'indigestible'; I consider it one of the most disturbing and important explorations of fascism ever filmed. F For Fake is Welles's great late masterpiece, the secret father of all postmodern documentaries. All of these movies should be available from Netflix. Check them out.
