Favorite Movies... Lots To Be Learned

[SykkBoy]

It all really depends upon my mood, but in no particular order:

Glengarry Glen Ross - Amazing dialog and some of the best acting ever captured on screen. Having worked in boiler rooms, the dialog was so authentic that it was scary.
Memento - Great wroiting, good acting and I love unconventional storylines and story telling.
Requiem For A Dream - Ellen Burstyn's performance was an outstanding performance, one of the few times I ever got misty eyed during a movie "I'm going to be on telelvision" and a lot of the movie hit me hard the other day when I lost a good friend to heroin addiction (well, the heroin didn't kill him, rather the .357 he had aimed at his temple did).
Narc - Great acting, good writing, though a bit cliche, the acting and writing took it above the cliches.
The Exorcist - although it has lost some of it's punch over time, it still stands as a true horror classic and a damn scary ride.
Friday The 13th - The one that really brought slasher movies into the mainstream (for better or worse). It borrowed heavily from Mario Bava's "Bay of Blood" but reached a more "mainstream" audience.
Opera - Dario Argento is my favorite Italian director and one of my favorite directors of all time. His stories ramble on and his dialog isn't always so great, but visually, no one compares.
Reservoir Dogs - While most list "Pulp Fiction" as their favorite Tarrentino flick, I preferred this gritty, low budget offering. Steve Buschemi became one of my favorit actors after watching this movie.
A Clockwork Orange - Great acting, amazing dialog and visuals out the ass. I love to pop this in the DVD player and travel with me droogs through a bit of the ultraviolence ;)
