    I saw Pierrot le fou there last year. What a bizarre film. Godard was making it up as he went along, with only a loose plot about a guy, a girl, and some Algerian gangsters. I'll try and get to see A Night at the Opera and The Honeymoon Killers instead. :)

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    Will this be packed?

    Just wondering, don't want to make the trip if there is no chance of actually being able to see anything.

    Yep.

    Started queuing up at 10:30 last year and the line of people was already down as far as the Olympia.

    Better chance of it being packed now that it's posted here.

    Yes, I'm greedy.

    Wondering what time to head in at to queue. Do you guys reckon 10 will be alright? I arrived at about quarter to 11 last time and I was grand, but I do NOT want to miss Labyrinth.

    Labyrinth
    A Night At The Opera
    Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf?

    Those are my top choices. Any one on the big screen would be great, but all three?

    Labyrinth, a night at the opera, The honeymoon killers and Winters bone would be a sweet day

    'The Honeymoon Killers' is an amazing film, but I've actually seen it in the IFI before, so I'm trying to go for the rarities. Man, 'Labyrinth' vs. 'Sunrise', that's just mean!

    Would half nine be a good time to get there? And can you get tickets to three movies? It says tickets are limited to 4 per person, I assume that's over the day, not 4 tickets per film per person?

    Not sure how many tickets you can get, I'd imagine there's a limit just for fairness sake. Was thinking of heading in for around ten myself.

    Have seen most of the audience choice films so think I'll give that one a miss anyway. Hopefully Enter the Void will win and surprise some unsuspecting patrons *cackles evilly*

    Or Dogtooth.
    Incest, cat killing and tooth smashing. Bring the whole family!

    I think it's limited to 4 per person.

    I'm hoping to get to finally see that Herzog 3D documentary.

    Four tickets per person, can be four to one film or one to four films IIRC. If I miss Labyrinth someone is getting beat up.

    I'm hoping:
    Labyrinth
    A Night at the Opera
    The Honeymoon Killers
    Audience choice

    Cave of Forgotten Dreams is great until you see the paintings for the seventh time :p

    Will probably aim for Jack Goes Boating (or alternatively Sunrise), Pierrot le Fou and the Honeymoon Killers. Might hit up A Night at the Opera too, because it's awesome.

    Yeah you can definitely leave about 15 minutes before the end of Herzog's one. It's as if he just got stuck for material and had to painfully loop the entire ending. Plus the 3D kinda sucked.

    I'm here now. Pretty well organised. Been in the queue for 30 minutes. Cave of forgotten dreams, pierrot le fou, sunrise and life above all are sold out.

    Yeah it doesn't surprise me that a more crowd pleasing movie won (as nice as Submarine is) but Enter the Void is such a rare treat to see on a cinema screen.

    Pretty mad queue earlier glad i made it early!

    Sunrise was awesome. Waiting in line for Pierre le fou now. Virginia Woolf after. Good to see a big crowd but i would agree the audience missed a beat voting in the merely decent submarine. Now innocents get to experience dogtooth or enter the void

    Pierrot le Fou was pretentious even by Godard standards. Funny at times, but the man made the same basic film better with Breathless and Weekend.

    Who's Afraid of Virgina Wolff was intense stuff. Overlong, and clearly stagey, but surprisingly full on with amazing performances.

    Sunrise was the highlight though - funny, inventive (for 1927) and overall a good solid melodramatic watch.

    Good day, well organised and totally packed which is good to see.
