Must Own DVDs - films that matter

[agusbmxarg]

Reservoir Dogs, well, it's Tarantino in all his glory.

^^
So many memorable quotes in that movie man, that's something not too many people think about when watching Tarantino's movies: Arguments. Tarantino isn't all about blood/gore/splatter/black humor. It's all about arguments, like, for example in Reservoir Dogs:

Mr. Pink: You kill anybody?
Mr. White: A few cops.
Mr. Pink: No real people?
Mr. White: Just cops.


So many good lines to point just one but what the hell.

Oh, the I don't tip bit. My god...



I forgot also:

Taxi Driver
A Clockwork Orange (Kubrick did so much for the filming industry, besides the artistic part, like introducing long-term close ups shots, the use of the dollycam/steadycam).
Kill Bill's (again, tarantino with this western-spaghetti-ish films kept up doing things like from-the-trunk shots he introduced several years before).


I downloaded the Star Wars Saga the other day, saw chap. IV and V last night, and I'll finish watching them 'all this week. I've never seen these before, and I bet I'm going to put the saga in my list of must-own...

The essay KING!

[Deacon]

1. Star Wars (all of them) though special mention to Empire Strikes Back - Proved that a film doesn't need to have a happy ending to keep the audience happy.
2. Donnie Darko - very clever and at times witty indie movie that had me hooked from my first watch.
3. Inception - Amazing visuals, great story, impressive cast
4. Blade Runner - Rutger Hauers adlib speech still gives me chills.
5. Schindlers List - The perfect example of good versus pure evil.
6. Lost In Translation - Proved you don't need slapstick or gross out comedy to be funny.
7. Se7en - Extremely stylish and intense thriller
8. Brukbaker - My fav prison film of all time
9. The Dark Knight - Nolan is a master!
10. The Godfather - Hands down my fav gangster movie of all time.

Probably some disagreements here but...

Toy Story - Original, other two lacked a little, but still on a whole different level to other animations.
Anchorman - Never gets old or any less funny each time I watch it.
Ocean's 11 - The comedy side lacked, but the cleverness of the operation was pretty cool.
Inside Man - Watched it for the first time a few nights ago, set a new level for cleverness of robberies that I've seen. Need to watch again to fully understand it.
Rock N Rolla - One of the best films to come out of UK imo. Preferred it to Lock Stock.
The Dark Knight - Obvious choice for some. Watched it for the first time today. Rather enjoyed it.
The Hurt Locker - That shit was pretty good.

Maybe not revolutionized cinema, but my personal must owns.
