Hmmm, I'm still thinking about my top-five "speechless" movies. Alas, the social conventions of going to the movies make it close to impossible to maintain a discreet silence coming out of the theater: custom dicates that you talk about the movie you just saw, as was aptly noted in Step Twenty of How to ask a girl out on a date.

I've often wished that one could temporarily dematerialize after the ending of a movie to avoid that awkward post-credits chat, perhaps meeting up at a coffee shop a half-hour later once one's emotional response had stablized somewhat. Oh well.

In other news, I just found out that Chungking Express is finally coming out on DVD next month! 'Bout time.
