 | Exotica
Buy used from: $8.59 A perfect film - and a great introduction to Egoyan's recurring themes. A puzzle-box of a film filled with characters who have great difficulty making social connections.

Buy used from: $1.99 In my mind, Egoyan's first great film. Definitely off the beaten track. I rank it just slightly higher the "Sweet Hereafter" due to its originality.

 | The Sweet Hereafter (New Line Platinum Series)
Buy new: $18.99 / Used from: $4.25 The one that got him all the recognition. He could have gone Hollywood after this one. Although based on a book, Egoyan still leaves a very personal mark on the material. Truly heartwrenching.

 | Calendar
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $10.43 An experiment in form. I'm probably rating this higher than most. Still, it works for me. A man has taped his marriage falling apart.
|
 | Ararat
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $2.15 A tough mix. Egoyan continues to use his emotional distancing technique to the Armenian genocide. Not an expected mix, and possibly a bit of a failure. Still, it is fascinating.

 | Speaking Parts
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $8.88 Continuing on a theme that technology actually pulls people apart rather than making them closer. One storyline has a woman who speaks to her lover over video-conferencing equipment.

 | Felicia's Journey
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $1.08 Might be one of the creepiest serial killer characters I've seen - not scary but truly creepy. I feel this is a good movie, but Egoyan's others are better and more interesting. Hoskins though is great
