calling you
Jun. 7th, 2007 11:26 pmLast night after aikido, I had dinner (more like "snorted pasta", since I got there late) with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lyonesse and sensesurfer, and watched Bagdad Cafe. Great film, except I kept trying to remember where I'd heard the title song ("Calling You", sung by Jevetta Steele). Eventually (like two hours after it ended), I figured out that it was covered by Jai Uttal and the Pagan Love Orchestra.
Music aside, it got me wondering what other worthwhile films I've been missing. Quirky is good, foreign is not a problem, emotional depth is more important than action, and it's a bonus if it passes the Bechdel Test - in short, something that won't waste my time or brain cells.
