I recently watched Scarface for the first time, and if I didn't know it was a movie made in the 80s, I wouldn't have guessed... IMO it still looks quite good even in today's standards.
Shawshank Redemption The Great Escape The Good the Bad and the Ugly Clerks
Slap Shot. Crumbling hockey team, crumbling lives, a crumbling town, a crumbling American steel town, in the crumbling American Dream.
Road to Perdition has some of the best cinematography I have ever witnessed.
Just watched Mulholland Dr. Years ahead of MeToo.
The scene where she auditions for the studio execs, delivering the performance of a lifetime is so enrapturing and creepy. A perfect movie, maybe Lynch's best.
Definitely. Silencio!
Scrolling through this thread reminds me if the good ol' days of the r-word site, before Spez smegged it all up. Nice post, Fat Tony.
Meadows' Dead Man's Shoes still gives me the same effect it gave me when it came out. Practically went straight to DVD at the time, cant find it on streaming.
I'd add True Romance, Night of the Living Dead, Barbarian, Conan (last two are nothing alike, LOL!)... it doesnt have to be big budget to be timeless..
Speaking of time... Time Bandits. Fuckng amazing movie!
Rosemary's baby 1968
Turns out, its about spousal abuse.
Still Hits soooo hard.
One of my fave movies!! Was listening to a noise rock band called Today is the Day at about 4 am one morning as I suffer with insomnia and "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HIS EYES!!?" comes through the headphones.
Dark City
I don't want to give anything away for people, so I'll just say that I never really appreciated the climax/ending part. It was pretty good up until that. I actually couldn't help but start laughing the first time I saw it, which I doubt was the intended reaction. Basically the movie turns into schlock.
This movie needed an hour or so of extra plot to make a better ending. It's like they ran out of film and had to wrap up faster than anticipated. It's still an amazing and captivating film.
Dude just watched this! It slappeddd
I watched the kill bills last week again after not having watched them since they originally came out. It still feels fresh, both in dialogue and action, score cinematography great. Incredible that some lost the brilliance in Tarantino's penchant for a bit too much blood in a few scenes. It would be like not appreciating the Sistine chapel because there are nude angels depicted.

That happened as it was being painted. The guy was then incorporated in the work as a nude demon who's genitals were censored by a snake biting them off. He complained about his depiction to the Pope, who politely and snarkily told him to fuck off.
Messer Biagio, you know that I have from God power in heaven and on earth; but my authority does not extend into hell, and you must have patience if I cannot free you from there.
The Sixth Sense is a fantastic movie. None of the stuff Shamalan came up with after are really worth it, but this first movie is wonderful.
I like that one, you find out that the dude in that hair piece the whole time, that's Bruce Willis the whole movie.
Whoa man, spoilers!
I kind of love the TV Series he made, Wayward Pines.
