You are the only other person I know who has seen The Gleaners and I. I truly enjoyed that movie. It really is a meditation on life and art- as well as on the interesting activity of gleaning. I don't think I've seen Death in Gaza. I will put that on my list :-) Thank you! I liked everything on your list but one. I admit to hating Fight Club. I thought it was an ugly pointless movies. I understand it has quite a following, but for me it was not entertaining or educational. I felt the same way about several movies Helena Bonham Carter did in a rather dark period (I only saw Fight Club because she was in it)- Margaret's Museum, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, and The Bumblebee Flies Anyway. FWIW I didn't find Pi (I know she wasn't in it- I just always think of it in the context of movies that were critically acclaimed that I couldn't stomach)entertaining either. Sometimes movies get so dark, when they have no humor to redeem them, that I just can't see watching them for "fun", and if they aren't historical, I just don't see the point. Many of the movies that came out of China about the cultural revolution were difficult to watch, but at least one learned something about China.
