The Blues Brothers. A Million Ways To Die In The West. Riding Giants (surf movie). Endless Summer (another surf movie).
From California ???
@balance_point, mmm, yep.
Almost anything by Kubrick, Eraserhead, any Monty Python, Brazil, Heavenly Creatures
I got my intro to Kubrick in the early 70s...A Clockwork Orange. He grabbed me and forced me to watch. After a while, I realized that ,no, I had to watch !!
The Dark Crystal.
Pleeeease wait.
Those guys put the jitters up me when I was a kid.
@smoyle Oh, I was scared when I was a kid, but as I got older I learnt to appreciate the artistry of the film.
Godfather I & II, Casablanca, The Maltese Falcon, To Have And Have Not... those last three are pretty dated but still appeal to me.
Believe it or not, I just saw Casablanca for the first time a couple weeks ago. I loved it !!! and so many classic lines in one movie.
Pulp Fiction, Fantasia, It's Pat, Standing In the Shadows of Motown (eclectic enough for ya?)
Top Ten presented in no particular order.
Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
Big Trouble in Little China
Pirates of the Caribbean
The Princess Bride
The Last Unicorn
The Incredibles
Ghostbusters
Tombstone
Willow
Oscar
Dean Spanley was exceptional
little miss sunshine
galaxy quest
Yes! My oh my,I don't think I've yet found anyone else who's seen that! Found myself watching it,by chance,and I just found myself drawn-in to this very funny,very strange and dark film with such great actors and their performances. Such an oddity but what a good film!
@EdMalarkey agree. Absolutely delicious how Sam Neill gradually retreats into and exposes his inner canine. I also love the intro, not just the music but the paper cutting
I love The Bridges of Madison County. A delicate emotional masterpiece...beautifully written, acted, and directed.
The Princess Bride.
As if that by itself isn't enough,then:
Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Life moves pretty fast: you don't stop and look around once in awhile...you could miss it.
Casablanca. What a script!
Raiders of the Lost Ark (yes,I can overlook the religious theme because the other ones are awesome and it's just such a great adventure film.).
Ice Cold in Alex. The script,the story,the fantastic performances! Oh,and the cinematography... Brilliant.
Jaws. What a great film,truly.
The original Star Wars trilogy.
Magnolia. One of the best films I've ever seen and emotionally shattering. And all spun from an album Aimee Mann was working on,which then became the soundtrack to the completed film. Perhaps not a coincidence then that that album is also one of the best I have ever heard. Aimee Mann...she is an exceptional singer and songwriter.
wah wah wah...I could go on. But I won't: it's likely you've stopped reading already.
