The Wicker Man is Awsome.

Yea, The Andromeda Strain, nice one. I remember the atmosphere freaking me out and not being sure if it was all intentional or not. Will have to watch it again.

I just remembered- Nic Roeg’s The Man Who Fell To Earth.

I guess it goes without saying that the old ‘National Film Boards of Canada’ films would be the BOCist visuals but I haven’t seen any.

Bizarrely Geogaddi reminds me of this old Canadian (I think) childrens show ‘Ramonna’ that was on when I was a kid. fuk knows why, might as well be Spiceworld.

Uh, I’m rambling now.

looks like I'll have to check out this "The Wicker Man" you guy's are speaking of...

Ace Ventura "Pet Detective"

Cool, thanks man.
Tonight I’m gonna rent out this ‘Ace Ventura: Pet Detective’ you speak of, neck some Ketamine and try to sync it up with MHTRTC.

both 2001: a space odyssey and a clockwork orange. especially with the music.

The American "David the Gnome" series. Only like 18 episodes, but sometimes when I listen to BoC it makes me think of that show. Loved it when I was a kid.

Ace '70s children's TV series "The Changes". It's full of themes of nature reclaiming the country, a fear of electricity (pylons especially) and a return to a pre-industrial age. Scared the shit out of me as a kid.

I wish they had the opening for "Sorry!" That's a good theme song.

Look at the original from Robin Hardy [1973] NOT the remake with Nicolas Cage.

I only saw The Andromeda Strain once, back when I was 6 or 7 years old. All I saw was a scene where there was a dead lady draped over the front of a car... and I remember it FREAKING ME OUT! There was something really disturbing about the way it looked, and if I recall correctly, the music (or perhaps it was some sound effect) during that scene really added to the creepiness. I should really watch the whole thing one of these days.

Good call for those 2

I think Pi is more of an Autechre movie to be honest. But it suits tracks like "music is math" too of course

Phase IV
Scanners
Errr.

Changes - good call, too youg to watch it but music is ace, Paddy Kingsland is magic

Not a movie admittedly, but awesome link... I remember that from my childhood, but had forgotten just how BoC-esque the theme tune was!
