Once Upon a Time in the West (C'era una volta il West) 1968, PG-13)
Recipe to make a grown man cry. Ingredients: |

Madadayo 1993, Unrated)
To call it "touching" would be an understatement. I´m glad Kurosawa´s last movie was this little masterpiece about aging. |
|
| 3 |
Barry Lyndon 1975, PG)
A visually stunning little tale about ambition and changing times. |
|
| 4 |
A Hard Day's Night 1964, G)
I like my Beatles young and still enjoying themselves. |
|
| 5 |
Nosferatu, a Symphony of Horror (Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens) (Nosferatu the Vampire) 1922, Unrated)
Still scary after all these years. |
|
| 6 |
Night of the Living Dead 1968, R)
Probably the best horror flick of the 60s, and the birthmark of the modern zombie genre. |
|
| 7 |
Seven Samurai (Shichinin no Samurai) 1954, Unrated)
Kurosawa. Mifune. Three and a half hours. It rules. Period. |
|
| 8 |
My Neighbor Totoro 1988, G)
The ultimate "feel good" movie. |
|
| 9 |
Neko no Ongaeshi (The Cat Returns) 2002, G)
A minor Studio Ghibli gem. Short and sweet. |
|
| 10 |
The Bride of Frankenstein 1935, Unrated)
Fun and GAY as hell. |
|
| 11 |
Nosferatu: Phantom der Nacht (Nosferatu the Vampyre) 1979, PG)
Same vampire, different atmosphere. And still EVIL. |
|
| 12 |
Die Nibelungen: Kriemhilds Rache (Kriemhild's Revenge) 1924, Unrated)
Visually stunning. |
|
| 13 |
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (Il Buono, il Brutto, il Cattivo.) 1966, R)
Last installment and peak of the "dollar" trilogy. |
|
| 14 |
Suspiria 1977, R)
The colors! The colors! The nightmarish atmosphere. Do as when watching opera: ditch the plot and sink in. |
|
| 15 |
Deep Red (Profondo rosso) 1975, R)
Still Giallo, not Argento style terror - yet. But pretty macabre. |
|
| 16 |
Martin 1978, R)
|
|
| 17 |
Ed Wood 1994, R)
|

End of the Century - The Story of the Ramones 2003, Unrated)
|

No Direction Home: Bob Dylan 2005, G)
The main strength of this documentary is the focus on Dylan the artist and how he came to be, and not the myth / legend. |
|
| 23 |
Hotaru no haka (Grave of the Fireflies) 1988, Unrated)
Not my favorite Ghibli. Supposed to be very sad - and it is - it tries a bit too hard at making the audience cry and ends up being a wee bit sappy for my taste. |
|

The Doll Squad 1973, PG)
|
|
| 25 |
Dünyayi kurtaran adam (The Man Who Saves the World) (Turkish Star Wars) 1982, Unrated)
Un-fuckin-believable. Glorious. Beautiful. Amazing. Superb. A masterpiece turkey from Turkey. |
