i've been working my way through john water's crackpot. a selection of essays he's written over the years. one of the essays is devoted to guilty pleasures of the cinematic kind. since this is john waters the list isn't trash but art house films. the list:

• interiors(woody allen)
  
• the films of marguerite duras
  
• brink of life(ingmar bergman)
  
• night games(mai zetterling)
  
• teorema(pier paolo passolini)
  
• salo(pier paolo passolini)
  
• a cold wind in august(alexander singer)
  
• mademoiselle(tony richardson)
  
• lancelot du lac(robert bresson)
  
• anything by fassbinder

pathetically, i've not seen any of these films. i've seen part of interiors, but most of the rest i haven't seen or if i have i've forgotten i've seen them. i think i've seen something by passolini and fassbinder, but i'm not sure what.
