215	Kumonosu Jô (Throne of Blood) (Macbeth) 1957, Unrated) Kurosawa's take on Macbeth. Nearly beats Polanski's Macbeth.

241	Cross of Iron 1976, R)
242	In the Year of the Pig 1968, Unrated) Essential for fans (?) of war. The documentary uses short bursts of interviews and quotes layered on footage to slowly build a brick wall of a point about what went wrong in Vietnam.

245	Taxi Driver 1976, R)
246	The King of Comedy 1983, PG) Fantastic statement on celebrities, fame and stalking. Dark but brilliant and very funny.

248	For a Few Dollars More (Per Qualche Dollaro in Più) 1965, R)
249	Once Upon a Time in America 1984, R) Avoid the butchered 2 hour cut and head for the uncut version. Leone + DeNiro x Morricone = Magic.
250	Raging Bull 1980, R)
251	The Seven Samurai 2011, Unrated)
252	Stray Dog (Nora inu) 1949, Unrated) This and Do The Right Thing are the only two films that make me sweat while watching, no matter the weather.

268	Sixteen Candles 1984, PG)
269	The Breakfast Club 1985, R)
270	State of Grace 1990, R) Oldman owns this, and that's saying something given he shares it with Penn, Harris and Turturro.

272	Baraka 1993, Unrated)
273	Head 1968, G)

276	Apocalypse Now 1979, R)
277	Battle of Britain 1969, G)
