My soul hurt after watching this. Beautiful. |

Confessions of a Dangerous Mind 2002, R)
It starts off, you think it's a comedy, but by midpoint its well-into serious thriller territory -- and you never question the change-over. |

Double Indemnity 1944, Unrated)
This is the movie that got me into Film Noir. I had no idea what I was missing. (Also makes a great drinking game -- drink whenever Fred MacMurray calls Barbara Stanwyck "baby".) |

Being John Malkovich 1999, R)
Made me question the Academy's definition of "original" when this was passed over for the Best Original Screenplay Oscar. |

Dawn of the Dead 1978, R)
Saw this for the first time when I was 12 or something and hated it, mainly because of the crappy Zombie make-up. For some reason, though (possibly the gore effects), I kept watching it, and as I got older I came to understand the themes Romero is dealing with, and was able to see past the effects and finally concentrate on the story. Now I see it for the true masterpiece it is. Still loses 1/2 a point, however, for the crappy Zombie make-up. |

2001: A Space Odyssey 1968, G)
For years I'd bashed this movie -- but I kept watching, for some reason. Finally, like one of those Magic Eye pictures, I finally saw what everyone was talking about. It's a giant Rorschach test -- brilliant. |
