Buy used from: $12.70 Beautiful Film. Nuff said.
|

 | Y Tu Mama Tambien
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $2.39 Another great Mexican movie and probably one of the best coming of age films. Beautiful script and acting. Don't be hesitant to get the unrated version. It's worth it.

Buy used from: $24.89 Very creppy and stylized Italian horror flick from Dario Argento. Good soundtrack too.
|

|

 | The Deer Hunter
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $4.05 In my mind the best Vietnam movie out there because it really isn't about the war itself, but the aftermath of war. Unbelievable performances all around. Highly recommended.
|
