Mulholland Drive 2001,  R)

The Big Lebowski 1998,  R)
The Big Lebowski
The greatest comedy ever made.
Jeff bridges and John goodman and Steve buscemi make up the iconic trio in this noiresque story about a dude who gets into a few strange situations. I have never seen acting as funny as this and i dont think i ever will.

Memento 2000,  R)
Memento
This is one of my top 3 favourite movies of all time, I walked into the cinema late, and struggled to piece it together in my first viewing. Since then i've rewatched this over and over. Remarkable editing, which completely submerges you in the lead characters short term memory loss world. If you like to think, or just need to, watch this movie again and again

Oldboy 2004,  R)
Oldboy
I wanted to see this movie since I saw the title. But they could have called the movie Spongebob Squarepants 2 and it still would have kicked ass. Its a well rounded movie, with good action, a resolving storyline with twists and gore.
Just see it, it exudes class.
5
American Beauty 1999,  R)
6
Waking Life 2001,  R)
Waking Life
Awesome rotoscoping animation, and a killer soundtrack make this movie really stand out. The plot is well crafted existential nonsense, but the recurring theme of lucid dreaming and the fantastic direction of Linklater make this one of my favourites
7
The Boondock Saints 2000,  R)
8
Fight Club 1999,  R)
Fight Club
Pure class, why cant there be more movies like this?

Happiness 1998,  NC-17)
Happiness
Brilliant move about anything but happiness.
Phillip Seymour Hoffman is great, as are the rest of the cast. Darkly funny, quite disturbing but overall very enjoyable.
I'd recommend this to almost anyone.

Three Amigos! 1986,  PG)
Three Amigos!
Excellent comedy, good on screen chemistry. Ned Nederlander was my hero. El Guapo is the funniest character.
"i like these guys, they funny guys.. just kill one of them"

Clerks 2001,  Unrated)
Clerks
Low budget, witty dialogue. The best kevin smith movie by a long shot in my opinion.
19
Reefer Madness (Tell Your Children) (Doped Youth) 1936,  PG)
Reefer Madness (Tell Your Children) (Doped Youth)
Terrible movie in every regard, only rated it highly (ie 1 star) cause the recent release with the guy from Mystery Science Theater doing the commentary makes it worth it.

Human Traffic
Awesome drug movie, witty and well shot, with facken funny scenes that made me want to pop a pill
32
Monty Python's The Meaning of Life 1983,  R)
Monty Python's The Meaning of Life
I think this is my favourite python film, they're all good but this one has so many brilliant stand alone scenes.. the penis song, every sperm is sacred and the salmon mousse spring to mind. I guess i'd recommend this one as a starting point for new pythoneers.
