Following (1998) - Christopher Nolan

A pre-Memento Nolan film interesting for atmosphere and twists in the plot.

The sea inside (2004) - Alejandro Amenábar

Sentimental syrup about Euthanasia. I support the cause, but not this film.

Jubilee (1977) - Derek Jarman

I was 15 before I realized I was dead.
Without progress life would be unbearable. Progress has taken the place of Heaven.
In those days, desires weren't allowed to become reality. So fantasy was substituted for them - films, books, pictures. They called it 'art'. But when your desires become reality, you don't need fantasy any longer, or art.

Becket (1964) - Peter Glenville

King Henry II: So what in most people is morality, in you it's just an exercise in... what's the word?

Thomas a Becket: Aesthetics.

King Henry II: Yes, that's the word. Always "aesthetics."

King Henry II: I'm suddenly very intelligent. It probably comes from making love to that French girl last night.

Until the day of his death, no man can be sure of his courage.

Saintliness is also a temptation.

Love and anger (1969) - Various

The Zeitgeist of 1968 in episodes...

Léon (1994) - Luc Besson

Bonnie and Clyde didn't work alone. Thelma and Louise didn't work alone. And they were the best.

The rifle is the first weapon you learn how to use, because it lets you keep your distance from the client. The closer you get to being a pro, the closer you can get to the client. The knife, for example, is the last thing you learn.

Summer Interlude (1951) - Ingmar Bergman

Let me mourn my youth in peace.

Copying Beethoven (2006) - Agnieszka Holland

Sentimental Hollywood crap. Polish director with no talent sells off to Hollywood.
