| | Film geeks, pay attention What are the most amazing movies, in your opinion? If you knew your friend was dying and you had to make them a list of movies they needed to see before they die, what would you pick? Any genre.
List away!!!!!!! (and I am looking at you, member with the Hutz avatar) |

| | Is this actually for someone dying? Just making sure ha I'm bad at understanding things over the interwebz
Anywho, here would be my list, it's probably not that good. In order:
1) Waiting For Guffman
2) High Fidelity
3) The Cheerleaders ('70s sexploitation at its VERY best)
4) Almost Famous
5) Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!
6) Big Fish
7) Sid and Nancy
8) The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou
9) Girl, Interrupted
10) There's Something About Mary
...quite random
Can I add more later? I need to think about it more I guess lol.

| | | toto the hero
my life as a dog
freddy got fingered
santa sangre
lost highway
edit to add: touch of evil
just looking at these films that i think are important to see before you die, even freddy got fingered.. they all fuck with you. they all try and rattle you. the death rattle of complacency. toto the hero and my life as a dog are very innocent but they do the same thing.

I got my sister a DVD of The Dark Crystal as soon as her daughter was born, because she must watch it as soon as possible. Demelza and I watched it around 4/5 and it never hurt us. She approved of my purchase whole-heartedly. I got the daughter a "Where's Bin Laden" book this year.

Double feature with American Beauty. | Here is something geeky for you.. at work we discovered that Pi is an exact copy of an early Donald Duck short called "Donald Duck in Mathmagic Land" or something like that. We even got them both in and set up a screening of both for whichever dorks at work were interested.. and it was true!!

| | | festen is great, ever so exciting.
i find these lists hard to do. i looked at some top 100 films ever lists for prompting, but they're all full of shit like chaplin, and the more modern films will be the usual overrated stuff like blade runner.
