One of my favorite films when it comes to art direction and style, has to be The City of Lost Children (La cité des enfants perdus). Co-directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, who also did Amelie and Delicatessen, and Marc Caro, the film is a beautiful and visually stunning fairtyale about a mad scientist kidnapping children to steal their dreams. Only brave young Miette (Judith Vittet) and a kindhearted circus strongman (Ron Perlman) can save them. I love it because it's surreal and dark, but still romantic and dreamy.
Although it's not a scary movie, I thought it would be appropriate to post about this week with Halloween right around the corner. What are some of your fave films for this time of year?

I love the Witches of Eastwick, Beetlejuice and the Nightmare before Christmas !! Movies that are scary but not too scary (I get nightmares!).
Also I just watched The Girl with the Dragon tattoo and it was pretty scary!
I'm so glad I got Carrie out of my system last night. I'd been dying to see that. And then when I got home Alex was watching Halloween. Watching Jamie Lee Curtis run makes me so nervous. I think I'm set til next year.
i love Witches of Eastwick!
Yes, I love all of those! We just saw Beetlejuice for the millionth time just a few nights ago.
Have not seen Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I want to read the book first!
