    I stumbled upon this personal movie review website (while watching DumBeast 2009) and was totally blown away by how tidy and comprehensive it is. There's a stats page which shows the rating average over time so you can be sure that they take their hobby very seriously!

    Anyway. I remain impressed.

      I too am impressed- definitely by the format, but moreso by the content! This person's tastes seem to differ a fair bit from the typical movie fanatic, and I'm here for it. I feel like "top 100 movies" lists invariably end up looking very similar to each other, but this one really stands out in that I haven't even heard of most of these! I'm definitely going to read through a lot of these and add some to my watch list, not because I think I'll necessarily love them as much as this person does, but because I like exploring new realms of art and this seems like a great guide to doing so. Thanks for sharing the find!

        The website is called "onderhond" which is a literal (non existing) translation of "underdog". I suppose that means the format is going to be about underdogs rather than the big name pictures.

    Lots of good, stuff, I've seen Avalon when it came out but don't remember much, I should rewatch it. Enter the Void has been on my list for a long time too. Dead Leaves and Dolls are great. I'm a bit surprized they don't like Tarkovsky, but it seems they don't like slower stuff maybe.
