11. That earlier gf couldn't possibly have known what Eraserhead was like, I hope.

That's a real one-of-a-kind movie alright. You hear movies sometimes descibed as nightmarish. Eraserhead feels like a literal running nightmare. Visually and sonically... the sound design alone was unlike anything before it... genius, but twisted.

Yep I did indeed see Eraserhead... only once.


My father was a WWII veteran, a Navy Sr. Chief (but surface navy), and he had a strongly negative reaction to Das Boot. Was angered by the Uboat's captain putting his crew through what he did. Saw the captain as abusing his men.
