When I was in undergrad I took night classes at Art Center. In one of the photo classes we watched incredible films, always really quiet and poetic ones. At the time I remember the movies blowing my mind. The class really opened up my eyes to film in a entirely different way, and I think I gained a new understanding and patience for watching a type of film like Tarkovsky makes. Stalker has stayed one of my favorites til this day. So good, wikipedia it...and watch these...

Tarkovsky- Stalker

Solaris:

I've never seen Solaris but this scene is amazing. JEEEZE, SO GOOD
