"It’s one of the most unusual films I’ve seen, a barrage of images, music and noises, shot with such an active camera we almost need seatbelts."
Roger Ebert on "Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors (1965)" by Sergei Parajanov.
"If the film is 'saying' anything, it is that it is not the midgets who are monstrous, it is us and the society we have created for ourselves"

Maidstone (1970) Dir Norman Mailer
The infamous moment Rip Torn hit Norman Mailer with a hammer. The scene was supposed to be an improvised brawl but turned nasty when Torn actually hit Mailer and drew blood, Mailer retaliate by biting Torn's ear.

2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) Dir Stanley Kubrick
I love the way the conversation suddenly becomes incredibly awkward in this scene. Kubrick was brilliant at this kind of tense conversation, allowing the awkwardness play out.

Yojimbo (1961) Dir Akira Kurosawa
I love how Toshirô Mifune's character watches the two waring gangs from the tower with wry bemusement, each side afraid to attack.
