Give list a short description
| onemkb's Rating | My Rating | |

| 1 |
The Shining 1980, R)
One night I was running a fever and i was a little high on over the counter medication.....with this movie on. This is one of those rare dvd's that will keep replaying itself if you leave it on, so all through the night my dreams were terrorized by this movie.... it left a lasting affect. |

Swingers 1996, R)
Dean Moriarty, the father we never found. |
|
| 3 |
True Romance 1993, R)
A violent love story mixed with drugs and an awesome cast. If you're a fan of Tarrantino, please check out what is quite possibly his finest story. |
|
| 4 |
Jesus' Son 1999, R)
The story of innocence, with a title stolen from a velvet underground track, Jesus' son captures the story of a young junkie, and his eventual absolution.. |
|
| 5 |
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas 1998, R)
|
|
| 6 |
Closer 2004, R)
Clive Barker makes this movie! The other three are apparent pawns in this tale of lust. Julia Roberts in her most un "Julia" role... a vindictive love story at its best. |
|
| 7 |
Hedwig and the Angry Inch 2001, R)
|
|
| 8 |
Seven (Se7en) 1995, R)
|
|

Swimming with Sharks 1994, R)
|
|
| 10 |
Cache (Hidden) 2005, R)
An offbeat thriller, this is the "Anti-Movie", no explosions, no love scenes, no explanations, no tidy ending, everything most movie goers here in the U.S. absolutely abhor. |
|
| 11 |
Magnolia 1999, R)
|
|
| 12 |
V for Vendetta 2006, R)
Great performances by Hugo and Natalie Portman, give voice to one of the greatest comics ever. |
|
| 13 |
Pan's Labyrinth 2006, R)
When people ask me about this movie I always say the same thing, "Did you like The Labyrinth or the Never Ending story?" If so, then you will love this, a grown up version of both of those stories but with more grim undertones. |

The Exorcist 1973, R)
No matter how many times you see it, it's still as unsettling as ever... |
|
| 30 |
Frailty 2002, R)
|
|
| 31 |
The Matrix 1999, R)
So what if it's a rip off of Dark City, this movie has to be the most influential movie of our time..well, in the action category. The movie that invented "bullet time"......sadly. |
|
| 32 |
Swimming Pool 2003, R)
|
|
| 33 |
Igby Goes Down 2002, R)
I had forgotten how good this movie is. Igby is seemingly running from himself, and from what he sees of himself in his family. Just a good story, loosely based catcher in the rye, ryan phillipe is annoying as ever, but its offset by the always sexy claire danes...rawr |
|
| 34 |
Trainspotting 1996, R)
|
|
| 35 |

|

|
| 37 |
Dr. Strangelove Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb 1964, PG)
Yes, this is a comedy. |
|
| 38 |
Deceiver (Liar) 1998, R)
Tim Roth is amazing and hugely underrated. This is one of those films that no one seems to have heard of but i think everyone should see. |
|
| 39 |
The Motorcycle Diaries (Diarios de Motocicleta) 2003, R)
To most people Ernesto Guevara is simply a face from a piece of pop art. This movie puts a story behind that face, and helps you understand what let the late revolutionary to the life he lead. A great story! |
|
| 40 |
Requiem for a Dream 2000, R)
Who knew Jared Leto could act? Or Marlon Wayans? Somehow this entire cast painted a eerily true to life depiction of a family and the effects of heroin upon it......oh yeah, and the Connelly looks amazing...as always. |
|
| 41 |
21 Grams 2003, R)
Fabulous, really, and it's sad that in today's climate Sean Penn isn't getting the respect that he is due... A gripping tale of 3 men, a heart, and a widow, dealing with the constant reminder of what once was. |
|
| 42 |
Brick 2006, R)
I always find myself wondering, with movies like Virgin Suicides, Mean Creek, etc. are there kids out there watching these? I'm sad to think they aren't, and that movies like mean girls will become this generations Heathers... Anyway, good movie. |

Dogville 2003, R)
|
|
| 45 |
Road to Perdition 2002, R)
This teeters on a guilty pleasure, this movie utterly shocked me when i first saw it. Tom Hanks in a serious portrayal of a man and his fight to keep the family he worked so hard not to destroy. |
|
| 46 |
Ghost Dog - The Way of the Samurai 1999, R)
It's low budget, weighted by bad actors in stereotypic portrayals, and all of this compounded by a very portly "samurai" But somehow Forrest Whitaker makes it believable. |

Love Liza 2002, R)
Hoffman does a great job in this character study of a man who turns to huffing gas to deal with the death of his wife. |
|
| 82 |
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest 1975, R)
Not only excels as scathing social commentary on mental asylums of the early 20th century, One Flew Over is a movie made exceptional by it's cast, from Nicholson to a very young Danny Devito, this is one of those rare films where you buy into the roles portrayed by everyone. |
