Antonioni is one of the greatest filmmakers to ever live. Anything he made is worth seeking out. I don't love Red Desert, but I've been meaning to revisit it.

Which is your favorite of his work? And is that also the one you would recommend I start with if I've never seen any of his work?

The answer to both is L'avventura. A masterpiece that deserves all the acclaim it gets.

Blow-Up might be more accessible, though.

That one is a close second, for sure.

I'll add that one to the queue also.

Oh come on.

Man... looking through the list of films that came out in 1999 and it really just might be the best year for movies in my lifetime, so far. Just maybe.

I hate that Idris Elba keeps making movies that I'm probably not gonna see in theaters. He's better than that. He deserves more.

1999 was a fucking incredible movie year, for sure. One of the greats.

I cant believe fight club, big daddy, and boondock saints are so low on your list. Psycho.

Boondock Saints is the movie equivalent of a Kid Rock album.

Don't try to understand LV's lists. That way leads to madness. Experience them, but let them pass through you.
