http://www.clusterflock.org/2008/03/_____-in-a-lifetime.html thoughts, questions, original art and content and links to stuff we think is of interest; a group blog dedicated to pretty much everything. by people you would like to meet at a party; proof of intelligent life on the planet; inhabited by Internet hunter gatherers in the pre-apocalyptic realm; a destination that offers constellations of stimulating links to popular (and not so popular) culture; a group blog dedicated to culture: art, design, music, food, architecture, science, travel, movies, books, typography, politics, etc.; inclusive of geezers!; a delightful mixture of orange words and pictures of well, the insides of a stuffed animal–delightful all the same; the social network I never thought I’d join.

I can still pull up the feeling I had, sitting in the theater on opening day, watching that film unfold. It was new and fresh and powerful and shocking and funny; it did everything I wanted a film to do. And the music! Daryl and I just kept looking at each other, unable to believe our good fortune to be in that place at that time. Many of you flockers were probably too young to see the film when it came out, and it had such an immediate influence on films to follow that you might not realize how innovative it was. But it was glorious in its time, and even after 15-20 viewings, I still love it. I’ve said it here before, but for me (and I think I can speak for Daryl on this, too), it was definitely Pulp Fiction.

So I just left it _____. "_____ in a lifetime." But I was struck forcefully by the thought that of all the films I admire that were made since <em>Raging Bull</em>, there are few of equivalent stature. As I believe I put it to Jon last night, "Even the best seem like films made by children for children." Oh, nor have I.

I still haven't decided. I’d be curious to know what others consider to be their once in a lifetime movie. I still haven’t decided.
