I actually watched a film in my high school biology class that had a couple of BoC clips in it. I've perused the credits intently but they are mysteriously not credited anywhere. The film was a Nova special called Dirty Bomb. You can find the info page for it here.

I so have to check all these out!

Anyone seen Le Conseguenze dell'amore (The Consequence of Love)? a french film, it includes the main chracter taking heroin then some gyroscope kicks in, I could'nt belive it when i heard the drums. It's the most peaceful film, really sets in you in a trance.

plenty of biology films in high school, and this documentary:
http://shopping.discovery.com/product-6 ... 88004-59-0
"Visit one of the world's largest, most involved construction projects – the sprawling Sakhalin oil and gas complex, located on a remote island off the eastern coast of Russia. The Russians are pouring billions into this city-sized operation – designed to suck fossil fuel from a frigid corner of the Pacific Ocean – with the hope that it will provide a needed boost to the region's economy."

i just recently saw jacobs ladder for the first time. it sort of reminded me of BOC. although i usually dont think of them as being quite as dark as the movie was. still had some rather geogaddish moments: the stretcher ride down to hell, slowly getting more and more fucked up. evil lurking right beneath the surface. also the "demons" that didnt have facial features sort of reminded me of the MHTRTC cover.

I'm sure it's been commented on here before, but saw "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" for the first time last time. It's got that woozy-dream-like feel to it...

Dream Time by Jane and Louise Wilson, two artists from UK. Can't find it anywhere now, but this was an amazing short film I saw at the Baltic Art Gallery, in my home town of Newcastle, UK. It's a multi-camera piece shot prior to and during the launch of a Soyez rocket in Kazakstan. God knows how they got access, they literally shoot in and around the rocket, launch pad, control room, etc. It's very quiet and stark (until the launch which is deafening) and counterbalances the freezing cold and stark Kazak landscape, with the groaning, overbearing ex-Soviet launch machinery, while grey-coated military types hang about looking rather lost and bemused before the launch.

So wish I could find it now, but I don't think it's freely available. If you ever see it being shown at a gallery near you, check it out. Completely beautiful and very BOC...

John From Cincinnati's intro might as well be a continuation of the Dayvan cowboy video.
