Excellent.

I'll add a 90's classic: Hardware.

And a masterpiece from Kar Wai Wong: 2046. His films are visually stunning.

And Fallen Angels, Chunking Express...excellent. Love the Chinese version of Karma Coma by Massive Attack...

Centurion and Arn: Knight Templar I thought they were great movies, my friend asked for some netflix recommendations and said they sucked.

But its funny because recommended a movie The Last Sentinel which starred Don " the dragon " Wilson. It also had a AI talking rifle scope with a K.I.T voice. The lamest movie I've ever seen but my buddy thought it was a bad ass movie.

In my case, it's not that no one has heard of it, but rather, by the time they came across it, the critics and the hacks have come across it and cut it to pieces or have seen it from a different view than when it came out.

For example, "The Thief Who Came to Dinner". Look at its classification now and it is a comedy/romance, but when it came out, it was an adventure/thriller like "Topkapi".

Or "The Stranger". When I first saw it, on TV in 1973, I knew nothing about it, and like the hero, I thought that he had landed in the USSR....instead of the surprise a few minutes later. These days, it's been called a poor copy of another movie, ripped to shreds on MSTTT, and trashed by critics who know little about the Cold War.

My fav? "Prisoner in the Middle"......but again, the review comes from people who see it with a Reagan or latter era eye and not understanding it from a 70's perspective.

2nd fav? "Killing Time" (1998).

Not the flick with Matt Damon and Tom Hanks. It was a little hokey, but I loved some of the cars in it.

Memento - Great movie about a guy who has no short term to long term memory transfer so he forgets what he's doing about every ten minutes. Oh and he's trying to track his wife's murderer down.
The Documentary "Idiocracy." I know everyone's heard of it, but it should be required viewing.

It's sad how many people I know that have never seen my favorite movie Cool Hand Luke

for random unknown

Near Dark 1987 A mid-western farm boy reluctantly becomes a member of the undead when a
girl he meets turns out to be part of a band of southern vampires who
roam the highways in stolen cars. Part of his initiation includes a
bloody assault on a hick bar.

Written by Clive Barker, back when he was doing Books of Blood. Later, when Clive Barker came out of the closet, a lot of that movie made you go "Ooooohhhhh...that's why..."

I lead a useless life. I've seen most of these movies y'all are posting, and have enjoyed them all.

I likes the road movies...anybody seen:

"Interstate 60"? or

"Highway to Hell"––the one with Lita Ford...or maybe

"Autorama" ?

The Other

I saw this movie as a kid.

Dust - It's an independent/foreign film that's essentially a "western" that takes place in Macedonia, where an American is working as a mercenary for the Turks in their fight against the Macedonian Greeks, but eventually sees that the other side is right.

Fulltime Killer - A Hong Kong action film about two rival hitmen living in Hong Kong who decide that the only way for either to be the premier hitman is to kill the other. A lot of cool gun-play and it's kinda interesting in the sense that you could tell that they probably could be friends if it wasn't for the professional rivalry.
