| I've only ever seen one Corpela film, his a adaptation of Dracula,which was pretty shit to be honest, tired to shove the "Atmosphere" down our throat and really didn't make a whole lot of sense. For my money the best piece from The Dark Knight is when the Joker's filming the cop with his hand held camera, a truly chilling piece of acting. As far as musicals go, Rocky Horror is certainty up there for me, such a dark and twisted story, I'm very glad they put an end to talks of a remake, Shock Treatment is pretty good as well even if it does feel like a rehash of Rocky Horror. Sweeney Todd is quite good as well, Burton's only REALLY cool film. I've yet to see God Farther or apocalypse now, but there on my list of films to see. > Wolf, at the risk of getting myself into trouble with > certain board members, I am starting a new thread to > continue the film discussions.
