THE "UNTOUCHABLES"

Tampopo.......OMG I'm finally on these boards.

 

"Wages of Fear", I cant believe someone else agrees. Oh, yeah, "Welcome to the Dollhouse"! "Tokyo Drifter", how'd I forget that.

 

I've put off watching Jodorowsky's movies for so long for some reason, but I finally watched El Topo last night and freaking loved it, I definitely have to check out the Holy Mountain now.

weird science
harold and maude

 

O' Brother Where Art Thou is a great one. I liked Paprika, but it doesn't make my top 10. I can hardly believe that someone mentioned Tetsuo: The Iron Man. I thought I was the only human on the planet who'd seen that. LOL

I have to go with The Usual Suspects, Princess Bride, Amelie, Star Wars trilogy 4-6, Lord of the Rings trilogy, John Carpenter's The Thing, Brazil, Blade Runner, Fight Club and Airplane

That's for now. I'll think of a bunch more as soon as I send this.

 

Good Lord, where to begin? Aside from toys, films are my absolute passion; here are a few for now.
Stranger Than Paradise
Royal Tenenbaums
Rumble Fish
O Lucky Man
A Woman Under The Influence
Spider Baby
The Thing (J. Carpenter)
Scarlet Street
Double Indemnity
The Conversation
Aguirre, the Wrath of God
Brewster McCloud
The Long Goodbye
Taxi Driver

more to come . . .

 

Robocop

 

Wages of Fear is a fav. I've only seen it once but it's so powerful.

 

If you have "O Lucky Man" on your list, I think you are required to include "If..." !

After Hours

 

I wonder how long before we name everything in the criterion collection

 

No one has mentioned Salo yet, hehe.

 

I like the movies they choose, which is kind of a bummer because I'd like to get Dazed and Confused, Time Bandits and a few others- but not for $20+. I really don't need all the special features.

yuck


Can't believe I forgot
The Warriors
Scarface

 

+1 bloodsport and i raise you a kickboxer if only for this scene:

Fot me, it's the 1 sec of air guitar that makes this. I wonder if it was improvised?

 

I see your Kickboxer and raise you with this scene from Breakin'


Breakin' and Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo are too of my favorite movies.
