yep, I've seen that film (after getting a nice cheap Bava boxset) and I always assumed Lynch ripped it off. There are similarities with The Prisoner finale from 1969 as well which intrigue me.

It's also clear that Tim Burton took a heap from Bava.

Damn- just pre-ordered the audio book, having already pre-ordered the book. It's basically like having a 10 hour Twin Peaks radio series!

LostInTheMovies- great! I do enjoy reading other views, and having them written by a forum member makes them extra special (I assume we all have similar tastes on this board).

Am really loving this thread. Many of the recommendations are things I have on DVD but haven't had time to watch yet (e.g. the Fall), or are things I can get on hulu. I started watching Fargo thanks to this thread, and it is the best shot, best acted and best written series I've seen for years. I'm ...

I find the description of the book as a "novel" is weird if it only involves a load of documents, but it makes sense to do that. This year is passing really quickly, much quicker than I had feared! The book is nearly upon us, and I haven't even had time to start rewatching the series yet (...

Many, many thanks for the youtube link vicksvapor77!!
