I did it once
but - inspite of my biggest respect to Greenaway - not exactly what I expect from cinematography

by the way, I have never seen Spinal Tap - yes, I know, it's a shortcoming of my education

I've seen only Prospero's Books and The Pillow Book by Greenaway.
actually I wasn't so impressed by either of them.
maybe because I saw them from TV not from the big screen, maybe because my wife and many friends had lauded them before and I expected anything more.
on the other hand - many friends of mine had lauded Dead Man (by Jarmusch) and it still impressed me very much and personally.

naked lunch,
dune (well i loved it anyway ),
that tv movie of Dr who(the really old one with Bernard Cribbins in),
Italian job,
Pretty in pink,
Interview with a vampire,
Brahm Stokers Dracula,
This is spinal tap,
Clockwork Orange,
Scum,
Hellraiser,

could go on forever.

just out of curiosity-was once told there'd been a sequal to Hardware made a while ago...never found any signs of it;wondered if anybody else had come across it,or maybe heard the same rumour????

"[...] The situation with Dust Devil is very bad. No one can legally sell anyone the rights to the movie because no one can figure out who to buy the rights from. That means that potential distributors to their best to investigate it for 2 or 3 months and then eventually, get discouraged. Pirate video is the only way to see the real film."

It looks like Laser Paradise made a homerun with the Dust Devil DVD: The cut they're using is indeed the 105 minute director's cut and they've also included a making of-documentary on the side. A must-have.

1A-DVD Shop has the disc in its catalog, along with the aforementioned Hardware disc. Ignore the 87 minute running time in their specs though, since it's already been proved otherwise.
