Donnie Darko 2001,  R)
Donnie Darko
Dark, beautiful and pure unadulterated genius. If you are a very "black and white" kind of person then you might have a hard time with this movie. It requires somewhat of an open mind.

Donnie Darko tell the story of a 15 year old boy that is visited by a dark bunny who tells him when the world is going to end and manipulates Donnie into doing various deeds for him.

As the story goes on more and more makes sense, until the end comes and you will most likely be lost. This is a movie that you have to watch over and over again. I am still learning new things every time I watch it.

Fantastic movie, probably my favourite. Just so riveting and dream like. You will fall in love with it eventually, I guarantee.

Apocalypse Now 1979,  R)
Apocalypse Now
Epic, truly epic. Depicts both the glory and fear of war. Mixes action with psychological subject matter, such as the human nature of killing. Marlon Brando is amazing in this movie, he adds so much magic to it in the short period of time that he is on screen.

The Machinist 2003,  R)
The Machinist
The ending to this was great, never saw it coming. Reminds me a lot of Fight Club. Christian Bale's acting is stunning, and the fact that he shed all that weight to the extent that doctor's feared for his life, says quite aot.

This Is Spinal Tap 1984,  R)
This Is Spinal Tap
Simply hilarious. One of the few movies that I can watch over and over again and still laugh at the comedy content. A real depiction of the glam, cock rock bands of the 70's and 80's.

The character's are great and instantly lovable, the humour is top notch, and the story flows perfectly.

Blackballed: The Bobby Dukes Story 2003,  Unrated)
Blackballed: The Bobby Dukes Story
This is by far the funniest movie I have ever seen. I watched it hundreds of times, yet it is still as funny as day one. With lines like "my shirt says number 2 because I'm the s**t" how can you really go wrong.

A little slow at times, but the humour here is so easy going that you can't help but love it.

Who Dares Wins (The Final Option) 1982,  R)
Who Dares Wins (The Final Option)
One of my favourite movies. Watched this as a kid and loved it. Lewis Collins really was the guy who should have been James Bond. His role is this movie is great, he plays an SAS Captain who goes undercover. Based on the embassy siege of 1980.

High Fidelity 2000,  R)
High Fidelity
All about broken relationships and music..the essence of life really. John Cusack's character reminds me of myself and my obsession with making musical playlists for random things...and I suppose my crappy past relationships. A movie that everyone can relate too in one way or the other.
11
Singles 1992,  PG-13)
Singles
One of the best soundtracks in a movie. This is an early 90's classic, much like "Reality Bites" it displays the waster lifestyle in all its glory. With appearances from "Alice in Chains" and Eddie Vedder from "Pearl Jam" this is a grunge-fest that c...(read more)an easily be enjoyed.

Pan's Labyrinth 2006,  R)
Pan's Labyrinth
Not what I expected at all, very morbid in some places. There honestly isn't a movie like this, it is so unique. A really gripping storyline and a great fantasy tale.
13
Full Metal Jacket 1987,  R)
Full Metal Jacket
The staff sergeant in this movie gives perhaps the funniest speech I have ever heard, if you appreciate crude humour. Stanley Kubrick's interpretation of Vietnam differs from say, "Platoon" because it focuses on the preparation of the war (them train...(read more)ing). What really threw me off was the fact that this was meant to be set in the U.S. mid west. When it was in fact filmed in England...hence the green fields, grass and cloudy weather. A must see if you (like me) love war action movies.

Platoon 1986,  R)

Manos: The Hands of Fate 1966,  Unrated)
Manos: The Hands of Fate
Manos actually means "Hands" so this movie is called "Hands the Hands of Fate" lol. So terrible, the worst movie of all time...which is why it is so good. Written by a potato farmer on a super low budget (you would never guess from watching it....I'm being sarcastic). A terrible storyline, terrible acting, the audio is dubbed over the original video so it is all out of sync...yeah it's just plain bad...I'm not joking on this one.

Somehow among all of it's flaws you can't help but love it, it is one of the most "unintentionally" funniest movie I have ever seen. I should probably say it again because I can't stress it enough, this movie is terrible.....TERRIBLE!!!
17
A Clockwork Orange 1971,  R)
A Clockwork Orange
Very controversial upon its release, even band in some countries. It brings so many ethical and moral questions to the table that you will find yourself wanting to sit down to write a thesis on it.

Pure genius though, a movie that is still relevant in this day and age.
