the inner ebert won't be quelled either...

i kind of have this theory that while in utero, i heard the muffled version of "raiders of the lost ark" and concluded that life outside might be worth living after all.

my point? i have big movie love. an allegiance which results in my inability to stay silent when the cinematically ignorant express their opinions. a fondness for every genre.
and a very high tolerance for off the wall, corn bally badness.

so, please keep my big, geeky movie love in mind when i ask you:
where have all the good movies gone?

i've seen a lot of great rented, and foreign movies this past year, but i can't think of the last "in theater" movie i liked enough to go see more than once.
and after seeing the sequels to "underworld" and "bruce almighty" being made, i'm wondering if we're going through some sort of sick, blockbuster dark age. ("garfield 2"? seriously??)

until there's some sort of hollywood rebirth (a cinemataissance, if you will) i've decided to focus my loquaciousness (totally just thesaurussed that) on the non blockbustery movies of the world. the list thus far includes "not one less", "fatso", "blazing saddles", "i'm reed fish", "for keeps?", and "casablanca" (i'm not gonna even bother linking it).

now i present you with my simple plea for additions to the list.
seriously.
help a girl out.

did you ever think "siskel ebert" was one guy?
hehehe... um, ya... me neither.
