Blowup (Blow-Up) (Blow Up) (1966, Unrated)
Michelangelo's masterpiece. A self-reflexive film about the way we perceive reality. |

Koyaanisqatsi - Life Out of Balance (1983, Unrated)
Speaks volumes about life and the earth in a film without a single line of dialog. Incredible cinematography reveals the effect of human inertia on our environment. |

Waking Life (2001, R)
A lesson in existentialism and metaphysics told in cartoon. Brilliant use of rotoscoping. |
|
|
| 4 |
Smultronstället (Wild Strawberries) (1957, Unrated)
Deeply philosophical. Painfully beautiful. |
|

Time of the Gypsies (Dom za vesanje) (1989, R)
The "Bulgarian Godfather" IMHO. An epic film about a young man's rise to adulthood and the fallible nature of love and humanity. |

Schizopolis (1997, Unrated)
Jupiter Landmine, smell sign. Soderbergh's most hilarious work turns out to be this guerrilla film weaves themes about identity and semiotics into an absurd story about a man leading two separate lives. And Elmo. |

Potent film about morality. Very similar themes to Match Point. |

Love = trust, respect, and admiration. The most laughs of any Hartley film. |

This is the tour-de-force of American Cinema. |
