What?! Even Gallaga's SCORPIO NIGHTS & ORO PLATA MATA didn't qualify on your criteria, Jo? Its on your next 10?
4:13 PM
Don't get me wrong both are great films. I just can't get over Oro's obvious similarities to Gone With The Wind and Scorpio's with In The Realm Of The Senses. If I were to post at least 15 Best I would include Virgin Forest which for me is the best Gallaga film ever.
3:48 AM
Yeah agree with you regarding VIRGIN FOREST, its underrated among Gallaga's works. David Overbey likes this film also, and if you take away all the sex scenes, its still a better film.
2:50 AM
the sex scenes in Virgin Forest were very tame compared to Scorpio Nights or even Unfaithful Wife. i remember watching the movie during it's regular run and even if they were shortened, the movie hasn't lost it's impact.
7:52 PM
I think Scorpio's superior to In the Realm of the Senses myself.
Excellent second-best list, and you're right, it's a pain to put a film either on one and not the other.
7:54 PM
thanks a lot Noel! i'm glad you liked my second best list and it's really hard to pick the films that deserve to be on the list.
