Seems that you, I, and Justin are part of the minority that actually liked EWS. I think a lot of the indifference and hostility to EWS comes down a lot to where the focus of one's conciousness is. EWS is a fairly abstract movie, definitely not for people that have a more "common sense" or "practical" world outlook. I call them perceptual level mentalities - they can be very intelligent people, but they are only comfortable with abstract ideas up to a certain level - beyond that they "tune out" and miss the message or underlying theme. It is interesting I notice the same sort of reactions to another favorite director of mine - Terrence Malick (Days of Heaven, Badlands, Thin Red Line). Another director that works mainly on a very abstract level that a lot of people just don't understand/appreciate. I thought Thin Red Line was one of the best movies of that year, if not one of the very best of the 90's. If you like EWS and Kubrick in general, definitely check out Malick's work, I think you will really like it. I would recommend starting with Badlands if you have never seen anything by him. The other 2 are great also, but Badlands is the most user friendly.I saw 9th Gate, but this movie I did not really like - I thought the story was not very good. Part of that is because I am an atheist through and through - just about anything that touches on the supernatural just seems ridiculous on the face of it to me. That is the main reason I also did not like the Exorcist or the Shining - both are probably great movies if you "buy into" the story line, but I just don't.
