ten movies I love many of you have never seen?
Dead Man - incredible black and white photography and philosophical storyline
Ikiru- everyone knows seven samurai and yojimbo, but this might be Kurosawa's best film
Ex-Machina- maybe the best film of last year and one of the most original scifi films in a long time
Juggernaut- 1970's Richard Harris stars in this great thriller about bombs aboard an ocean liner
Time Bandits- Terry Gilliam at the top of his game making odd, yet fun films
Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone- total 80's space movie cheese, yet strangely delicious and satisfying cheese
Bubba Ho-Tep-an old Elvis and JFK fight an ancient mummy sucking the souls of the members of their retirement home. yep (see it for Bruce Campbell as Elvis and Ossie Davis as JFK)
Beyond the Black Rainbow- it takes me back to those weird psychedelic films of the late 60's early 70's where you don't really know what's going on but the mix of film and music are hypnotic
Colossus: The Forbin Project- The first "computer takes over the world" movie, really great hard sci-fi that obviously influenced The Terminator
Session 9 - very spooky movie from around 20 years back that somehow pulls off creepy without slamming weird visuals or gore at you every 5 seconds
