A Knight's Tale (2001, PG-13)
One of the best films of Knights and Swords with a sense of true romance. Superior cast includes Heath Ledger, Paul Bettany, Rufus Sewell, Shannon Sossamon and more. Great use of 70's AOR Rock. |

Donnie Darko (2001, R)
This is the millenium's first true anglo-teen angst film with superb performances from Jake Gylenhaal, Drew Barrymore, Patrick Swayze, and more. It simply terrifies you the first time because you may have missed something and that is the whole point. Great authentic late 1980s soundtrack of pop, electro mash up. |

Hellboy (2004, PG-13)
Guillermo Del Toro directs this comic bok adaptation with a great sense of wonder and humor. Nazis are especially bad, space is a void and cold while our heroes sulk over bad dermatology and psychosis. Appearance by Rasputin is a coup. |

Alien (1979, R)
If you are must see this as a CLASSIC then you really need to go back to Italian cinema from the 1960's and watch Mario Bava's Planet of the Vampires. Although Giger created the penultimate creature osmosis, it's first generation resides in this previous film along with the planet's atmosphere and sets. Great horror and suspense. |
