Here's the original list condensed by Pedro!
Movies That Remind You of Burning Man
"Akira Kurosawa's Dreams" - just full of wonderful imagery
"Labyrinth"
"The Dark Crystal" - for the same reasons
"Mad Max" - the whole trilogy
"Fightclub" - infinitely quoteable
"Spirited Away" - what can I say, it was the best film I saw right after
"Dune" - Lynch's version is good, but go get the Sci-Fi Channel's
Children of Dune".
"Amelie" - cute, fluffy, but with some great moments of creative gifting
"City of Lost Children" for visuals and surrealism
Priscilla Queen of the Desert"
"Lawrence of Arabia"
"Straight to Hell,"directed by Alex Cox.After a botched robbery,a band
"The Neverending Story"
"Six-String Samurai" Strange costumes, decent music (the Red Elvis'?),
"Shakes The Clown" How many clowns ARE there in BRC?
"Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas" Especially the Mint 500 motorcycle race.
"tank girl" is number one for me. I love that character's style and find
"Siam Sunset" In the final third of the movie, a colorist (!) gets
"From dusk till dawn"??? i swear that movie was inspired by the black
"A.I." - the demolition derby of robots scene - very BRC.
the Matrix: Reloaded"
"A boy and his Dog". It's a post apocalyptic movie starring Don Johnson
'Holes" is a great flick, too. Looks like it was filmed on the playa, or
"The Rocky Horror Picture Show". Not as much for the movie itself but
"Phantom Tollbooth" - time is a gift given to you given to you to have
"The Muppet Movie" The lovely tale of an earnest young frog who knows
"Mystery Men"! A whole lot of the basis of my camp is stolen directly
Pitch Black - Lots of scenes of blasted, empty desert and neverending,
Lord of the Rings,
Blade Runner., The director's cut
(The Great) Buckaroo Banzai!
David Cronnenberg Anything- for that altered sense.
The Road Warrior, of course.

dreads are intertwined.
I think the title is Soldier a sci-fi on the junk yard planet, the
The Hero with a Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell, describes the plot of
"Destino." It was originally a collaboration Salvador Dali /Walt Disney
"Bad day at Black Rock" I know its a contradiction in terms but when you
"TRON" Actually I never liked this movie until I watched at the Bijou
"Hedwig and the Angry Inch"
"Secretary" definitely reminds me of the playa. Did anyone come across a
"Bukaroo Bonsai"! (weird watched it on tv last night first
Opening of Star Trek IV? the 'Holes' thing put it in my head.
HBO's Series 'Carnival'
"Vanishing Point" (not the made-for-TV remake)
"Zabriskie Point"
"Far From Home"...It is a Drew Barrymore movie filmed in Gerlach and on

A lot of the car commercials on TV. They love to show them new cars zip
