The Seven Samurai (Shichinin no Samurai) (1954, Unrated)
Without a doubt one of the most spectacular films ever made. This movie has it all: action, drama, comedy, tied neatly in an amazing package by the masterful direction of the incomparable Akira Kurosawa. |

Pulp Fiction (1994, R)
One of my favorite movies of all time and a revolutionary of modern film making. Great performances by the entire cast and the energetic style of directing by Quentin Tarantino make it an instant classic. |

Probably the most romantic film I have ever seen. Incredible cinematography and beautiful performances by both actors. |

Eraserhead (1977, Unrated)
Weird, disturbing, freaky and most of all, fascinating. David Lynch's "opera prima" is a film you have to experience for yourself at least once in you lifetime. |
