haha, it is stupid. but i love the atmosphere, def. the sci-fi bachelor pad.
besides Scarface and Body Double what other DePalma films are worth eating?
and i wouldn't mind some more Walter Hill 80's era films - other than The Driver, Warriors, Southern Comfort are there any others worth searching for?
DePalma: Blow Out is awesome. It is an American Blow Up, basically, with elements of The Conversation, in the ham-fisted addled style of DePalma. John Travolta, c'mon! Plus it is set in Philadelphia (my home town); I used to take people to the site of its crucial scene in the Wissahickon Valley Gorge (basically the spot where Luther Vandross had the car accident that lead to his paralysis; SPOILER ALERT!the transvestite passenger is a good segue to my next recommendation).
Dressed to Kill. Michael Caine. Body Double pays homage to a critical shower scene in DTK. You can't miss it.
Regarding Walter Hill, my father in law just recommended Extreme Prejudice. I haven't watched it yet, but it looks awesome. I can't wait to watch this one.

I found NightDreams, which is alternately terrifying and hilarious, and Cafe Flesh, which I haven't gotten around to downloading yet, but I'm def looking forward to that one.
Doing my usual thing of only getting round to seeing a movie years after it was released, I watched Inland Empire last night. Not sure what the boards general feeling about David Lynch is (iirc a few people here have kinda ideological objections to his work, but I might be remembering this wrong) but I thought this film was really, really good. And more to the point, fucking terrifying for large parts of its duration.
