The Mack 1973, R)
raw, documentary style mixed with improvised dialogue, real-life players and true to life situations: there would be no quentin tarantino without gems like this. And who else but Max Julien can call you a "vicious ass piece of jelly" and not come off sounding silly? |

Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid 1973, R)
to hear Kris Kristoferson tell somebody he's going to give them a tour of hell on a spider web is beautiful; hearing Dylan read the contents of a grocer's shelf is inspired. |

the most transporting film I've ever seen |

Children of Men 2006, R)
for an atheist, the director creates the most compelling argument for grace I've ever seen in a film; best use of digital cinematography I've ever seen; the greatest car chase of all time; all this and king crimson on the soundtrack! |

Midnight Run 1988, R)
Amazingly this film becomes all the more dear each time I see it, which has to be up to the twenty fifth or sixth viewing. |
