Ferris Bueller's Day Off PG

A fun day of skipping school with a couple of our favorite people growing up. Very memorable scenes and sharp dialogue from one of Hughes trademark films, and still ranks for a lot of people as Matthew Brodericks defining role (until his major run on Broadway over the last decade or so). Chicago makes for a great backyard.

Stand by Me R

A very heartwarming story of a group of childhood friends who embark on a memorable cross country journey together that will impact their adult lives looking back together. Very solid cinematography, direction, and marks several early performances from several Hollywood staples from today including Cusack, Wheaton, and Sutherland, This marks one of the best King adaptations out there on the big screen and one of the most sentimental. Way up there.

Raiders of the Lost Ark (Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark) PG

In terms of action serials this film ranks as the perfect tribute for the golden oldies of the 30's and stands as one of Ford's iconic performances. Perfect action sequences that grab you from the word go, with the temple sequence, and doesn't let go. Perfect villains, tension and fun, a must watch for any movie fan.

Grindhouse R

Defintely one the best times I had in the theatres back in 2007 and best to be viewed in tandem and with an audience to get the full experience and interaction with the ridiculousness. Planet Terror is pure sci fi B goodness with an A cast, Freddy Rodriguez and Rose McGowan make great albeit unlikely leads her, and just the final set piece with the gun leg is pure joy and hilarity. Death Proof is slightly less so as it takes a while to take off and is almost like Tarintino is creating Resevoir Dogs again with a woman cast. Russell is great as the villain slimey yet weirdly charming, and features the classic lines and killer soundtrack. The car sequneces are something to behold. And if you can find the fake trailers anywhere, especially Don't and Machete, check them out!
