This Week's Top 5...With Glenn Kenny
This is a (god-willing) new feature we're going to start here on the blog where we reach out to people we respect, like and who generally know more than we do. So thus begins THE _________ TOP FIVE 5 WITH _____ series.
Fittingly, we start with Glenn Kenny.
Glenn Kenny offers you tips. Psychotronically.
Formerly of Premiere, he moved to his own blog and now can be seen suggesting tips for Sasha Grey in Steven Soderbergh's The Girlfriend Experience as "The Erotic Connoisseur." He's incredibly informative and able to wax poetic from Cannes to John Sex.
Asking Glenn about the experience of being on set is pointless--after all, he already wrote about it at The Auteurs (in two parts) and talks with Aaron Hillis about it at Green Cine Daily.
So I figured the only thing worth doing was lazily email him and ask for a Top 5 list. He decided to go with the ancient art of Psychotronic film coined by Michael J. Weldon. So without further ado,

Here is a fantastic little chart we came across today which gives us a run down of the history of films that time travel is used in. This chart points out where and when the characters in each film traveled to and from. The movies are arranged clockwise in chronological order of release date.

CULT films, the critic Danny Peary wrote in his 1981 book “Cult Movies,” “are born in controversy” and elicit “a fiery passion in moviegoers that exists long after their initial releases.” By those measures David Fincher’s “Fight Club,” a movie that stirred vitriolic ire when it came out 10 years ago and today inspires obsessive, often worshipful scrutiny in both lowbrow and highbrow quarters, is surely the defining cult movie of our time.
Not only has “Fight Club” performed exceptionally well on DVD — it has sold more than six million copies on DVD and video, and is being issued in a 10th anniversary Blu-ray edition on Nov. 17 — but it has also become a kind of cultural mother lode.
