Un Chien Andalou (An Andalusian Dog)
Unrated
I would love to be able to give a highly comprehensive review of this film. I would love to be able to wax lyrical about the deep meanings of the surreal images on display. But I can't because I haven't a clue what the hell was going on. No shame in my admitting that, considering this film came from the mind of surrealist master, Salvador Dali. So yes I may have not "got" But I was totally gobsmacked by how a film made in 1929 could have been so dangerous and taboo breaking? How did a film that is so graphic and bizarre in its imagery get passed the censors of that era? Dead donkeys, severed hands, nudity and a shocking eyeball slicing scene that could give anything Lucio Fulci did with eyes a run for its money.

My all time favourite film just got better! All thanks to blu-ray. In my estimation this is the funniest film ever! The whole film is played so straight (with the possible exception of Rick Moranis) its hilarious! Bill Murray is a god! Sigourney Weaver is a goddess! William Atherton is very underrated as the "dickless" Walter Peck. Dan Aykroyd has one of the best lines in cinematic history. Listen... do you smell something? I dread to think how many times I've seen this film. I never tire of it, and now my five year old has just watched it for the first time and loved it as well.
