Deliverance (1972,  R)
65
The Departed (2006,  R)

Wow. I almost wish I hadn't seen the original, but Scorsese added some extra depth and character plot to the story. The cast did a great job and everyone should be rewarded come oscar time. See this right away.

81
L'Enfant (The Child) (2006,  R)
L'Enfant (The Child)

P.T Anderson's first feature doesn't disappoint. You can see the emerging talent behind the lens from the first scene.
108
The Hills Have Eyes (1977,  R)
The Hills Have Eyes
What was i thinking?
109
High Tension (Switchblade Romance) (2005,  R)

Watching it for the first time definitely had me on the edge of my seat. Weird ending, but still a fun ride.

The Killer (Dip huet seung hung) (1989,  Unrated)
125
The Killing (1956,  Unrated)
The Killing
I put this off for awhile, cause I thought it would be dated. Big mistake. This film is way ahead of it's time and now I see it's obvious influence on todays films. It's very short compared to Kubrick's later projects, but the story is tight. One of the best endings ever. A must see for any movie buff.
126
The King of Comedy (1983,  PG)
127
Kingpin (1996,  PG-13)
128

Léon (The Professional) (1994,  R)
132
Little Children (2006,  R)
Little Children
Wow, if I would have paid attention to the poor ratings of this gem on here I would have overlooked it. After this garnered a few oscar noms, I decided to give it a look. What I got in return was one of the best films of 2006. Some of the material is taboo and the characters don't seem very likeble, but it feels so real and hits home in many ways. Reminded me of another indie cult hit "Happiness" for the 'dark' comedy elements. Will mostly appeal to open minded people. See it now.
133
Little Miss Sunshine (2006,  R)
Little Miss Sunshine
Funny & touching dysfunctional family tale. Strong performances by the whole cast.
134
Living in Oblivion (1995,  R)

Mad Max (1979,  R)
Mad Max
Great revenge movie.
140
Magnolia (1999,  R)
Magnolia
PTA's sprawling character study is a little long, but you see some great performances. Tom Cruise almost steals the show, but the rest of the cast is equally as good. A must for film buffs.
141
C'est arrivé près de chez vous (Man Bites Dog) (It Happened in Your Neighborhood) (1992,  NC-17)

163
One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975,  R)
One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest
The characters are well crafted and Jack & Louise are exeptional. This movie cleaned up at the '75 oscars, deservably so.
164
El Laberinto del Fauno (Pan's Labyrinth) (2006,  R)
El Laberinto del Fauno (Pan's Labyrinth)
Nicely shot fantasy/adventure. Not for kids, cause the violence looks and feels pretty real. Dream like film.

Reservoir Dogs (,  R)
Reservoir Dogs
A movie that makes you want to make movies.
176
Requiem for a Dream (2000,  R)

Shaun of the Dead (2004,  R)
191
The Shining (1980,  R)
The Shining
Brilliant film making by Kubrick and probaly one of the first times the steady-cam technique was used. Jack's over the top performance and Duvall's miscasting almost ruin it for me though.
192
Sideways (2004,  R)
193
Sin City (2005,  R)
194

Swingers
Guys, go watch it.
203
Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance (Boksuneun naui geot) (2002,  R)

Chinjeolhan geumjassi (Lady Vengeance) (Sympathy for Lady Vengeance)
My second favorite of Park's vengeance trilogy. It's gotten better every screening.
205
Syriana (2005,  R)

Truly overrated. Clooney is good and the torture scene is well done, but overall it's a big confusing mess.
206
Hable con Ella (Talk to Her) (2002,  R)
Hable con Ella (Talk to Her)
My favorite Almodóvar until I saw 'Volver'. Now it's a toss up between the two magnificent films.
207

208
Taps (1981,  PG)
209
Taxi Driver (1976,  R)
Taxi Driver
One of the best films of the 70's. Solidified Scorsese's reputation as
