    High functioning autists and their obsessions with lists.

    Imagine taking the time to write all this instead of lifting weights, or writing a book about the dangers of high functioning autism for the good of humanity.

    Come on people. Please don't leave him hanging. Draw on your powers of autism and sit in front of your computer writing down your top 100 US films, or whatever. What else are you going to do?

    I noticed all of Creoda's US favs are Hollywood films. Here are three good films made outside of Hollywood. That's as much that can be drawn from me.

    Henry Fool


    Shock Corridor



    Bad Lieutenant

    I'll toss in two more films

    Down by Law starring musician Tom Waits and that Italian guy who won an Oscar for "Life is Beautiful" or whatever it's called.

    Creoda clearly has a bias against great Scottish films. He also reveals a subversive nature. He promotes highly subversive films, such as Trainspotting: a 'heroin chic' film.

    How about the great Scottish film Small Faces?



    Or Rat Catcher?



    Rat Catcher reminds me of the film George Washington which came out years later.

    Don't leave out OCD sufferers. Like Creoda, we love our lists too. We even do circuit training. I had to list and match the weight training exercises, so no activity is safe.

    You talk a big game but where is your 100+ movie list?

    Of course 5-10 favourite films from any country will suffice. Couldn't find enough Canadian or NZ films I've seen or liked either.
