I much preferred Life of Pi or Wall E or even Up.
But really this a ridiculous set of culture nonsense from the BBC as if 16 years of really not very good film making somehow deserves a top 100 list. It is ridiculous particularly since greater films have been made in the past and in the future

I looked it up and learned that it’s David Gilmour. Is that right? That’s cool. I’m a Floyd fan - again for the music and not the politics. Wish You Were Here is a great album.

David Gilmour is a supposed atheist...what’s he doing being a godfather?

It is pretty great. I agree! :)

You don't have to have morals to be a Godfather my friend.

I would suspect that one would have to believe in God/god?

I read “The Stranger” some thirty years ago, what a steaming pile. Did not bother with anything else by Camus.
People have an innate need to believe in something greater than themselves. If they do not fulfill that need with an edifying religion, they will fill it with something destructive; i.e. Islam, secular humanism, hedonism, drugs, etc.

Not necessarily. Depending on where you are Godparents are also your designated replacements if the parents die.

“Existential” doesn’t mean “real.”
To: Mashood
A secular godfather? Novel, indeed.

Close enough, having to do with existence.
Synonyms - empirical, factual, observational and experiential.

The Stranger is a thought experiment. It’s a very good illustration of what that mode of thinking leads to.

She played Rita. You could hardly miss her. She was the naked woman Noami Watts was laying on top of.

I’m sorry. I was confusing it with “Mulholland Falls”, which I actually saw about 20 yeas ago.

I guess Mulholland Drive was better than Zyzzyx Road, but consider: a film maker could brilliantly work out a complex story like Memento and critics are only mildly impressed. Another film maker leaves all the loose ends untied and everything in a state of confusion, like Lynch with Mulholland Drive and critics will proclaim him brilliant for creating a film that defies sense.

Mulholland Drive and Mulholland Falls are
very different movies!
I wouldn't even say that David Lynch is an acquired taste. I don't know how one would learn to like his films. Most people despise his movies, which is why critics love them.
