It was hard to narrow this down. There are so many movies I love and will watch whenever the opportunity presents itself. And for different reasons. Some cause they make me laugh, some cause they tell a good story and others cause they have impressive camera work of some kind or, just cause I love something about it, like with Evil Dead2 it’s Bruce Campbell.
Crimes and Misdemeanors – Interesting what darkness can lurk in the heart and soul of seemingly nice enough people.
A Clockwork Orange
Princess Bride
The Sweet Hereafter
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Wonder Boys
Monster’s Ball – it was an interesting story to me and had good performances
Groundhog Day – No matter how many times I see this I still laugh when the day keeps repeating.
Mystic River – just cause I grew up around there
Memento
Evil Dead 2 – Cause it never fails to make me laugh when Bruce Campbell is punching himself in the face.
A Fish Called Wanda
Fireworks (Hana-bi)
The Usual Suspects
Quick and the Dead – some interesting cinematography, I loved some of the shots, like the sun shining through the hole in the guy’s head
Pulp Fiction
Fight Club
Sling Blade
El Mariachi – impressive camera work for cheap
Requiem For A Dream – fascinating cinematography some amazing shots
City of God – amazing look

American Beauty – I love the shot of the paper bag blowing in the wind.
