I can't recommend these enough, although Pi is a bit off the wall. Next in my queue are Black Orpheus and Lawrence of Arabia.

I watched "The Red Violin" last night!! I really enjoyed it. Most of what is on your list are either on my list of favorite films, or on my list of soon to be seen coming from Netflix.
While I was watching the film I was checking out the lamp, which I finished yesterday afternoon. I finally did get the chuck unstuck (I'm back to wearing my splint -- it helped to have my wrist a little more stable).
It was so hot out there in the garage. 105-110 I would guess. So, the drill motor kept overheating, and the wood got so hot it actually started charring. All I needed to make was a circle of wood about 1/4 inch thick or so. The mouth on the jug was too big for a bottle adapter, so I needed to make something to wrap around the adapter so it would fit. It took me five tries to get something that would actually work.
Then, as luck would have it, the first bulb I put in (new out of the package) was bad, and I kept thinking I had wired it incorrectly. It was just so hot. I am so not doing anything outside today.
Oh, photo of lamp attached. That's a scene from "The Red Violin" on the TV.
