Sorry Quent, I guess we haven't reached your status yet...:D

[Klaus Weasley]

I've only seen about 4 Bunuel movies so far and my favorite is hand down, Los Olvidados.

Yeah, really Quent, you should slow down and let the rest of us catch up okay. ;)

Bunuel, c'est un pere du cinema surrealisme.

Hmm, that's about as good as a first-year French student can do (literally: Bunuel, it's the father of cinema surrealistic). Now who's high class, huh?:D

The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie is my favorite (and I think his French films are better, in general, than his Spanish).

Definitely Un Chien Andalou and The Discreet Charm of The Bourgeoisie.

[Cyclonus]

Un Chien Andalou
L'Age D'Or

[Buck Turgidson]

Playing catchup, I'm afraid. I've only seen (but I really love) Belle De Jour.* I'm getting a copy of That Obscure Object a little later this month. I wanted to sample some more.

I love his generally irreverent and anarchistic attitude. You have to be a whack job to hang with Salvador Dali.


*I've seen this spelled Belle Du Jour also. Anyone know which one is precisely correct?

[MickeyKnox]

Un Chien Andalou-10/10
The Exterminating Angel-10/10
The Discrete Charm of the Bourgeoisie-10/10

It's Belle Du Jour, not De Jour.

Du Jour=of the day
De jour=of day

[Fergus]

I've seen one, and it wasn't really that great....
