Arcane

[Aristocles]

Aristocles could you give some examples of the type of films that you are looking for?
Are you talking Cœur fidèle arcane or The Friends of Eddie Doyle arcane?

I guess it was used in the writ large sense. Generic, or general.

I have never seen "Coeur fidèle" and if you reference the Mitchum film in your other film, I think I watched it ~20 years. I suppose it would qualify.

From "Begotten" to "Memento". . .

and of Retroflix I have no idea.

retroflix is also invite only (and invites are a bit hard to earn) but you can replace it by http://www.surrealmoviez.info/ (open)

Noted. Thanks!

I think Retroflix is open signup, at least at the moment. I signed up yesterday (based on this thread) without an invite.

Memento is not really an old film... You can get stuff like that on Goem, Passthepopcorn, and TehConnection, which are all big movie sites.

Nor is 'Begotten' an old film. I am not sure how"old" is synonymous with "arcane".

I take arcane to mean: "known or understood by only a few". With films, I take them to be arcane if they are not viewed by many (unknown or unwanted) and/or if they are they aren't well grasped, i.e. cryptic.

Duck Soup is an old (1933) Marx bros. film but it's hardly arcane, merely one of legions of examples.

As for 'Memento', it is quite well known and new but is at least somewhat cryptic.

The age of a film only has relevance to it being arcane as an accidental attribute.

I am not familiar with 'Goem'. I thank you for the tip, and will seek it out.

are you sure? obviously, you need an invite code before being able to complete the signup process.

Anyone knows what's up with cinemageddon, is it only me or it's offline ?

[anon]

Yes, it seems to be down here too. But you should use the "trackers down or back up" sticky next time
