The Sacrifice, his last film, was so much more passionate, meaningful, visually beautiful and moving to me than either of them

I still haven't seen The Sacrifice so I can't compare, but Stalker to me is meaningful and visually beautiful. It is the most fugue-state movie I can think of. Like the movie itself loses touch with reality.

The best things about the last 10 minutes of Psycho are a) the final shot, and b) Ted Knight.
Wait, what?
This is pretty famous, no?

Sorry I was focused on Simon Oakland and the fly and forgot about that.

When I think of Ted Knight I think of Ted Baxter stalling all night while reporting on election returns during a blizzard.

And I’m on the record in believing NXNW to be the least of Hitch’s signposts. Bad results all around I’m afraid

Having watched Ordet for the third time two weeks ago, I'm prepared to elevate NXNW.

Stalker is overrated only in the sense that I think Andrei Rublev should be higher. I will say that it was seeing Stalker on a big screen that really did it for me. My first viewing on video I was intrigued but not immersed.

Clemenza talked about Ted Knight but I remember being pretty excited when I saw that the one guy from The Kingdom was in Gertrud.

Ordet is an incredible film, otherworldly and hypnotic, a film about religious mania, miracles and sexual sublimation
