Give list a short description
| cryptopsy84's Rating | My Rating | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Trainspotting 1996, R)
Great portrayal of junkies. The stance of heroin is not biased and the movies seems very honest. One of my personal favourites. |
|
| 2 |
A Clockwork Orange 1971, R)
Unique, violent, mesmerizing and perfect. This is a movie like no other. It more than lives up to the Anthony Burgess novel and has perhaps the best visual style in all cinema. |
|
| 3 |
Inland Empire 2006, R)
It may be new, but this is one of the best movies I have ever seen. I hope David Lynch produces another half-dozen of these. |
|
