Face-Off: The Paranormal Spanish Civil War
a list of 2 titles
Two recently-made films set in the Spanish Civil War used paranormal themes and imagery: Pan's Labyrinth and The Devil's Backbone. Both centered on children growing up in this horrific time, and so perhaps the ominous feel of the time was in a way translated in a child's mind into these apparitions.
Both, interestingly enough, were also directed by Guillermo del Toro. Which one is your favorite?

Face Off: Bron/Broen vs. The Bridge
a list of 2 titles
In 2011, a unique detective drama called Bron or Broen ("Bridge" in Swedish and Danish, respectively) came out as a joint Swedish and Danish production. The series began with a mysterious dead body left on the Oresund Bridge connecting Copenhagen, Denmark with Malmo, Sweden--but it became part of a larger story with many threads connecting the two nations, and it explored a variety of political and social issues relevant to the area, along with some fascinating character dynamics, particularly with the two lead detectives, once from each of the two nations. In 2013, a US version called The Bridge was produced, which involved a very similar story centered on the border between the US and Mexico at the bridge between El Paso and Juarez--but with its larger threads dealing with issues relevant to that region. Which of these do you like better?

Movies with a Minimal Cast
a list of 27 titles
Some movies center on a tight drama involving a very minimal amount of characters (three, two, or even just one). They forego large casts, and that small core pretty much have all the speaking and acting parts. Some of these movies might have larger casts than just that core, but they are either "extras" in one small scene, or voice-only (offscreen). The overwhelming majority of the time and narrative of these films depicts only that minimal core interacting. These films are usually intense character studies, shown in a very small-group (or pair, or singular) dynamic.
Which one of these films of that style makes use of it in a way you like best?
If Kevin Spacey wasn't available, who else would have made a decent Frank Underwood?
a list of 35 people
Similar to a list/poll I made asking who would have made a decent Walter White (Breaking Bad) had Bryan Cranston not been available, I'm asking you to weigh alternative casting choices for the role of Frank Underwood in the US version of House of Cards. Like Cranston's White, most people would likely agree that Spacey nailed the Underwood role, and it's very hard to imagine anyone else in it. But if you couldn't get Spacey, you gotta get someone. So who?
Weird and creepy Brad Dourif
