Fitzcarraldo (1982)		Great upload of a great film JamieEduardo!

A question though: I'm interested to know why you describe this film specifically as an Hispanic Interest Film?

Because it was filmed in South America?

I see this film as a study of one man's towering ambition and megalomanical obsession of starting an opera school in the Peruvian jungle by dragging a flat-bottomed paddle steamer riverboat over a mountain. Yes, there's a metaphor in there somewhere!

Shouldn't it therefore be a human-interest film, then? Or a maritime interest film? Or even an one man's towering ambition and megalomanical obsession of starting an opera school in the Peruvian jungle by dragging a flat-bottomed paddle steamer riverboat over a mountain interest film?

I'm of course stretching the concept there, but it seems to me to be more of a European idea of the strange, dark, tough wilderness and it's challenges to humankind's crazy ideas and ambitions, which will always be thwarted by some kind of natural retribution (if humankind doesn't respect the wilderness)... Most of Werner Herzog's films, in my opinion, deal with themes such as these.

Fleetwood Mac - Then Play On		Ahhh Marmalade... the Fridge Method aye! That's Science, mate. Science! I'll give it a go ;-) I also bought recently that yellow Spin Clean US record washer kit. It's expensive for what it is, and it's totally manual, but damn those records sound great afterwards. I never realised there was so much dirt lurking there in the grooves...

The Day Of The Triffids (1981)		Saw this as a kid when they first broadcast it way back when in the UK. BBC1 I believe, on a Saturday night? Or a Tuesday night? Scary series' always used to be shown on Tuesdays, if I remember rightly... (Check out Maelstrom, if someone uploads that...)

Anyway... The first episode was one of the creepiest things I'd ever seen up to that point. Some guy alone in a hospital, eyes bandaged, feeling his way around all manner of drip stands and wheelchairs and calling, "hello!?" etc. Brrrrrr still remember it today... A great example of something being more scary because of what you DON'T see... :-s
