P.S. - This is actually a repost from FG board (deleted long ago), and yet another one from Polanski's 'home page' (sadly, the events there are beyond words and *such* on topic threads vanish quickly). I apologize to all who already participated there. It would be really nice, if you could repeat the excercise here, in humble hope that this thread will be 'alive' a little longer. Thank you for your understanding.

We obviously almost completely agree on most films ever, but seeing these rates (at this thread that is) makes me especially happy. Yep yep, you're a natural.

I think I'm one of the few people who thought that 'The Ninth Gate' was a well-crafted, underrated scream.

This is Stevie Wayne, your nightlight, and KAB, Antonio Bay, California is on the air.
