Hail (1973) or Hair (1979)?

Hair --- and I second Joachim's plea to put Enfants high on your watch list.

Madame Curie or Madame Sousatzka?

Curie - a movie I wasn't allowed to see when it came out, but I finally caught up with it on VHS.

Desert son (2010) or Sons of the Desert (1933)?

The sound of music or Sound of noise?

[Jay Mars]

The sound of music or Sound of noise?

I'm no fan of it, but The Sound of Music. Noise looks terrible.

Alphaville or Nashville?

Alpha.

Noise was right up my alley - my friends and I used to do stuff like that, tho not so destructive.

Desert flower or Cactus flower?

[Jay Mars]

Noise was right up my alley - my friends and I used to do stuff like that, tho not so destructive.

Perhaps I should give it a try then.

[Jay Mars]

Desert flower or Cactus flower?

I'd rather watch Cactus Flower.

Monsieur Hire or Monsieur Verdoux?

[3eyes]

Guess I won't answer that yet - give someone else a chance.

I did watch and enjoy De Noorderlingen, which is about to come off NF Instant -- the shot in your profile picture really does look like it's out of the 17th century or thereabouts, so I was surprised when we came to it.

thanks for the heads-up.

They're also getting rid of Minnie and Moskowitz (Cassavetes), Nights of the Creeps, Helvetica, C.H.U.D. and The Stuff D;

and quite a few more, unfortunately. December 1 tends to be the expiration date for big batches like this (remembering back to previous years).

I really like that movie too. Glad you enjoyed it--and I'm glad my avatar makes some sense now.

Good thing I just watched Minnie and Moskowitz after having it in my queue for a good two or three years.

I'm glad I'm not the only person who does this. (and yeah I just watched it too. It's really good)

[3eyes]

Desert flower or Cactus flower?

I'd rather watch Cactus Flower.

Monsieur Hire or Monsieur Verdoux?

Anyway, I'll go with Hire, which looks interesting. Didn't like Verdoux all that much.
