  • FoxRox wrote: » Eraserhead (1977). It has become one of my favorites. There's nothing else like it. Incredible imagery and the film just gets under the skin. The industrial soundtrack goes a long way in the effect this film has.

  • Thor Ragnarok Great fun. Doesn't take itself seriously and is actually funny. Good performances all round and Care Blanchett is seriously sexy!
