I think leaving Redacted off the list of De Palma movies is a very bad idea. It's his most recent film and one of his most talked-about and controversial. What prompted that idea, Marc? |

Just one more thing about the bocce debacle. I opened it up to him again when I got home from the hospital and was playing catch-up.
Thanks marc for taking over, just let me know when you want me to set up the forum.
Peace. |

8 for De Palma.
waiting to hear from syd, gary, billy, mo, lorne. wade, nancy, whiskey, ghulam, daffy, rod, melody, chilly and the rest of the gang.
Count me in. I need to participate here more often. And it's been a long time since I've seen Body Double and Scarface, two DePalma films I've liked. |

billy,
I edited the De Palma list to what I think is manageable number of films. But, I'll gladly include REDACTED. |

I just reread and saw that Obsession is not on dvd and will not be included. I loved that film and watched it many times. I think I tried to buy it once......I'm sad. |

Betsy,
I too was disappointed that OBSESSION is out of print on dvd. |

I think you are the only two people I've encountered (or even read in print) who liked Obsession. I remeber catching it on television, being excited about a De Palma I hadn't seen...and then just being bored, so bored. |

I'm wondering if cable channels like IFC and/or Sundance will be showing any of the films in the near future. I think I'll see if their schedules are available. I remember the Polanski forum we did, and being able to watch some of the more obscure films on one of the cable channels. That really made it convenient. |

Make that three people who like Obsession. It's one of the very few Hitchcock homages that I think work on their own. And Genevieve Bujold is, as usual, amazingly talented and amazingly sexy. |

OBSESSION is De Palma's homage to VERTIGO and it does stand on its own. |

I'd watch it just to see her. She just wasn't in that many films. Coma of course......and Twins......which was a little like Sisters. |

Bernard Herrmann also wrote the score to Obsession and did a fascinating riff on his own Vertigo music. |
