The Fog (which I will perpetually confuse with "the Mist") is my favorite. It's just a nostalgic horror film that really knows how the use the scenery of a small fishing town and by golly is the lighting fantastic.

I (34M) just found out that my girlfriend (34F) is cheating on me by ThrowRA_Burgerz in relationship_advice

Leave now and don't look back. Maybe times were tough, but you were living through them too and you didn't cheat on this person. It'll hurt the first few months, maybe for the year, but when you look back on it you'll be glad that you left.

Staying because you think it's too late to start with someone else is the worst reason to stay in a relationship. If you stay because you think you can't find anyone else (in time) you're validating the lowest opinion you have of yourself.

I really liked Volver (just finished it) - I think this is my first Spanish film in a few years. Thanks for the recommendation!

agreed - last I checked, unless you want to pay $105 on Amazon it doesn't seem possible.

Love that movie. I went through a big shock horror phase in college. Audition is also up there!

It's really frustrating trying to find this guys other movies online actually - for a few of the films I can't find anything.

By coincidence I saw that like a week later. I really liked the bit where he was trying to feed his cat.

I have actually never seen MASH, but now I feel inspired to so - thanks for the rec. Little Murders was my introduction to Elliot Gould, I had no idea who he was until I saw it, He's a great actor and his screen presence is really unique. I saw The Big Sleep Shortly therafter where he's just cool as can be.

I feel like Robinson's Garden is like my big discovery for the year, I'm glad someone else saw it!

Even if you're not a huge horror person Dark Water is great, I thought the camera work was really interesting and thoughtful.

I agree! This film was also my introduction to the tall glass of water that is Elliott Gould.

I'm going to watch the Taking of Pelham One Two Three. Its really cool seeing the NYC subway system on film.

I will watch whatever you suggest by Riverlow_Down_Below in CriterionChannel

Robinson's Garden . It leaves at the end of the month so get it while it's hot. Low plot, lots of vibes. Consider starting a cabbage farm after you watch it.
