25 5 star movies that represents only a tip of the iceberg.
By an Amazon.com customer

	Reservoir Dogs [VHS] Buy used from: $0.01 A Masterpiece OR Tarantino's MASTERPIECE. Harvey Kietel and Tim Roth are two of my favorities and they never cease to amaze me.
	Pulp Fiction (Special Collector's Edition) [VHS] Buy used from: $0.01 Tarantino's Followup to Resevoir Dogs, a masterpiece, but not like Resevoir Dogs even though the directing is vastly more sophisticated.
	Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels [VHS] Buy used from: $0.89 Guy Ritchie Full Length feature debut - good use of not-so-wellknown actors so that the movie must stand on its own, and DOES. Superb acting, funny. Moran, Fletcher, Fleyming, Statham are great.
	Snatch [VHS] Buy used from: $0.01 Ritchie's sophomore film - better visually, than Lock, Stock - shows his growth as a director - seems to be a kind of sequel to his debut
	The Way of the Gun [VHS] Buy used from: $0.01 Christopher McQuarrie directs - incredible acting by Phillippe & Del Toro (of course!) - good use of expression and emotion
	Jackie Brown [VHS] Buy used from: $0.05 Tarantino's third greatest movie - Pam Grier is a Godesse of acting!!! Samuel L. Jackson is a God...
	Funeral [VHS] Buy used from: $2.55 Walken, Penn & an early Del Toro Flick really show the unromantic side of being a ganster in a powerful and emotional film - but Annabella Sciorra as Walkens wife is best with her "truth"
	The Royal Tenenbaums [VHS] Buy used from: $0.01 Stunning performances by all!!! First time I have ever enjoyed Stiller... 5 stars for the director. Wilson/Palrow at best. Hackman/Huston are brillant. Funny, too.
	Sex, Lies, and Videotape Buy used from: $0.95 Soderbergh is one of my favorite directors, and he only gets better with time. Andie MacDowell is an awesome actress who can ACT. Stunning in the movie along side Spader in his best performance!!!
	Moulin Rouge (Special Edition) [VHS] Buy used from: $0.01 Baz Luhrmann's latest Red Curtain Masterpiece. 3rd of the trio. Exquisite! Kidman & MacGregor steal the show as starcrossed lovers. Fantastic Imagery
	Strictly Ballroom [VHS] Buy used from: $0.49 Luhrmann's first Red Curtain Film. Simple story with a wonderful romantic feel. Barry Otto & Tara Morice shine in this film, 2 of the best actors I have ever seen, wish I had seen more of them...
	Romeo + Juliet (1996) [VHS] Buy used from: $0.01 Luhrmann's 2nd red Curtain, and the best rendition of Shakespeare's tragedy ever. The set is stunning, the acting is wonderful, Di Caprio could be great if he chooses his films carefully...
	Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead [VHS] Buy used from: $1.99 Tom Stoppard's play in an wonderful film of Hamlet through the eyes of Rosencrantz & Guildenstern (Tim Roth & Gary Oldman). Hard to follow the first time, so it is best to give it several viewings
	Mr Holland's Opus [VHS] Buy used from: $0.48 Dreyfus is wonderful in a heart warming and wrenching story about life and its ups & downs. Also, Dreyfus closely resmebles my HS Band director Mr. Terrell, so there is the special meaning for me.
	Fight Club [VHS] Buy used from: $1.75 And of course, Pitt is GREAT again...he gets better and better. Norton also gets better with every movie, but this one is my favorite...the paranoia, the pain, the mayhem, & the SOAP. Carter is great
	Crazy in Alabama [VHS] Buy used from: $0.01 Banderas' directorial debut. Great for a f1st attempt, & the only film I like Griffith in. Meatloaf is a better actor than muscian. But Lucas Black gets all the praise as "Peejoe."
	Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas [VHS] Buy used from: $0.90 Terry Gilliam creates the anti-hero brillantly in this drug film. Depp & Del Toro perform in roles that only the brillant could pull off and still come out stunning. A must see not for the weak.
	Ed Wood [VHS] Buy used from: $0.73 The Unfortunate Life of Ed Wood...Burton of Batman, Beetle Juice, Edward Scissorhands, & A Nightmare Before Christmas, best film yet. Depp is great as Wood. but all performances were wonderful.
	What's Eating Gilbert Grape [VHS] Buy used from: $1.49 The best Di Caprio and Depp performances ever. this film is a classic that deserves every person's attention and praise for the beauty and truth for the characters it protrays.
	Dead Man (1995) [VHS] Buy used from: $2.25 Johnny Depp, Gary Farmer, and Jim Jarmusch prove that actors and directors must work together to make a film, and the best of both can result in brillant movies/films. Just remember, "are you dead?"
	The Usual Suspects [VHS] Buy used from: $0.45 Kevin Spacey is the "man." He can act, and in this movie all are great. twisty ending. Just remember Kaiser Sose...
	L.A. Confidential [VHS] Buy used from: $0.01 Kevin Spacey, Russell Crowe, Guy Pearce, & Kim Basinger, but the best is James Cromwell as Captain Dudley Liam Smith (also in Babe as the grandfather, a wonderful role mainly of emotion & expression)
	Basquiat [VHS] Buy used from: $2.16 Jeffrey Wright is spectacular as the doomed Jean Michel Basquiat, an artist whose "audience had yet to exist." Bowie is wonderful as the excentric, pop artist Warhol. Del Toro as Benny.
	Tess of the D'Urbervilles [VHS] Buy used from: $1.70 The best rendition of the Thomas Hardy masterpiece. Feel the pain, love and anguish, & the hatred. An emotional film that cannot be praised enough, my favorite literary film.
	Great Expectations (1998) [VHS] Buy used from: $0.20 Hawke never ceases to astound me as the artist Fin, Paltow in her third best film (Shakespeare in Love is 2nd). Anne Bancroft as Mrs. Dinsmoor is amusing and pitying at the same time. Wonderful.
