#2 is Jeunet & Caro's "Delicatessen." They were also responsible for the fairly good "City of Lost Children," which begins with a rather incredible Santa-down-the-chimney sequence that the rest of the film unfortunately doesn't approach. I hear they did a horror movie before "Delicatessen" - anyone know anything about it? 28 AM 8/23/2002 -0400, Acousticlv@aol.com wrote:

#2 is Delicatessen. Sadly not in print on DVD. If you liked Delicatessen, you might also try Tuvalu, which IS out on DVD.

Now you know it's "Delicatessen " -- there are actually a couple of scenes in Jeunet's latest film, "Amelie" (you couldn't have missed it, the film got tons of press and awards) that echo the sex and squeaks as well. Dominique Pinon is in it too. "Amelie" was very good, but not as good as "Delicatessen." And it was certainly way better than "Alien: Resurrection."
