reminder
apart from the IMDB Top 250, there are some movies which i have to watch or find really soon. I'm just writing them here so that i can remember them:
1. Kiss me deadly, 1955, directed by Robert Aldrich2. Mean streets, 1973, directed by Martin Scorsese, because it is said to be the first film noir in colours (i'm not kidding)
3. Body Heat, 1981, directed by Lawrence KasdanThen, there are two recommendations from Space (which i expect to be either sick, or bearing a hidden meaning):
1. Reefer madness, 1936, directed by Louis J. Gasnier, a must-see drug-exploitation movie, as a symbol of exploitation movies in general.
2. Heavy Metal, 1981, directed by Gerald Potterton and Jimmy T. MurakamiAnd then, there are two movies which i must have, but i simply cannot find them anywhere:
1. M, 1931, directed by Fritz Lang - i'm dying to see this noir!!2. Vana Espuma, 1998, directed by Andrés Useche

I don't agree with the notion that Mean Streets is the first "colour-noir" (Robert Altman's The Long Goodbye, adapted from a Raymond Chandler book, for example, came out earlier in the same year) but it is my favourite Scorsese; so I hope you track it down and give it a watch!
now that you mention it, you are right, i had completely forgot about "The Long goodbye", and i had just watched a documentary about film noir and they mentioned "Mean streets" as the first, and i just remained with that idea :). i can hardly wait to watch it myself
I think there is a way to get Useche's Vana Espuma, try to contact Andrés if you are really interested. I know him. Is a great person.
Really ? Thank you very much ! It didn't occur to me
do you happen to have an email of his or something, please ?
