well... what can I say...
Ingmar Bergman, the Swedish pronouncination, would be something like...
Ing - obviously like the ING in SWING
mar - like the MAR in Maradona
and at 1:35 in at this clip Ingmar himself is saying his last name,
in Swedish.

I didn't see Kvinnors Väntan, I guess it's too old for beeing among my favourites. PERSONA is by far closest to my heart.

and I have to mention that I had the pleasure to meet the man twice.
Such a magnificent human beeing. I miss him...
And my heart sings of many things

My favourite films include 'The shop around the corner', all of the 'Lord of the rings', any Bette Davis film, 'The Mummy' (Brendan Fraser one) but this changes all the time, I'm so flippant :P

I adore all of Tarentino's films, but Jackie Brown is the one that I keep going back too. The ending is awesome and Pam Grier (Jackie) is just fierce.

Yeah! I like Pulp the best and True Romance because of Christian Slater - he's my fave actor. I also like Tim Roth! He's in Pulp, R.Rogs & Four Rooms

oh yes sex lies and videotape was a very good movie. If you like this have you seen The Secretary starring James Spader and Maggie Gyllenhall? That is one of my all time favourites!

How about "The Hairdresser's Husband" or "Betty Blue-The Director's Cut" (as it finally makes sense). "Pauline at the Beach". All French movies, but exquisite. I love the subtitles. I also like "Elf" and do not care who knows.
