Gun Crazy Unrated

Though Arthur Penn's Bonnie and Clyde is a hell of a film(and one of my favorites) nothing on earth can compare to Gun Crazy. I saw it for the first time at the age of ten(probably has warped me since then) and the low-budget, dark edge of the film(brillantly directed by Joseph H. Lewis) hit me harder than anything. It's probably my favorite of the late 40's early 50's noir and it's without a doubt my favorite movie ever made. Also Peggy Cummins was a goddess. Sure other Femme Fatales are more well known..but Peggy would have blown them all alway and have a smoke afterwords.

The Killer (Dip huet seung hung) Unrated

Probably no other film defines the "heroic bloodshed" genre more than The Killer. The ultra-cool of Melville, the violent bloodbaths of Peckinpah, and the operatic emotions of Douglas Sirk all meld together in what's possibly the best pure action film ever made. More than just good genre entertainment..this film needs to take it's rightful place as one of the greatest crime films made.
