We watched More (1969) last night. The biggest selling point for this movie is the Pink Floyd soundtrack.

What can I say about it. First off, it's a pretty sucky movie. The writing sucks, the acting sucks.

That said, I really enjoyed it. I think what did it the most for me was the international flair to it. A German guy meets a New York girl in Paris, then follows her to Ibiza, meeting people of all different nationalities in the process. The movie I think captured something of that 60s European youth culture, where it was easy to just hop on a steam ship and bounce around the continent.

It also does a pretty admirable, if oddly sanitized, job of portraying drug use. There were a few good lines. "People who use heroine are people who want an escape from life. People who use pot or acid want to intensify their lives." (or something very close to that, can't find the exact quote).

And the music of course was awesome...when it was there. That was one of the bigger disappointments. It's a 2 hour movie and the majority of it has no score whatsoever. Huge stretches of watching bad dialog being poorly acted without even mind-bending music to listen to.

Overall I'd give it somewhere between a 6 and a 7.
