This thread sounds familiar, but perhaps it was way over there on The Wire
mailing-list. Anyways, for those in love with the audiovisual, not much comes
close, IMHO, to Stalker by Tarkovsky. What a fantastic symbiosis of amazing
pictures and subdued, understated sound work. The scene when their going into
the Zone on that manual train-like-thingy (what´s the English word for it?)
where the mechanical clippeti-clappety sound oh, so slowy sort of morphs into
zaps and clangs and other rhythmical twists...will I ever forget it?

And, of course, who am I to forget Fight Club (or Seven, or Fincher in
general), Eraserhead+Lost Highway+most things Lynchian, Cronenberg, and I must
say I found the sound work in, ahem, X-men to be quite delicious (albeit not
ingenious).
