 | Memento (Widescreen Two-Disc Limited Edition)
Buy used from: $3.50 One of the most entertaining thrillers ever made. Guy Pearce plays his role perfectly and Christopher Nolan is a film noir virtuoso.
|
 | Leon - The Professional (Deluxe Edition)
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $3.13 My favorite foreign film. Natalie Portman's debut. Gary Oldman is demonic and Jean Reno is graceful and powerful. Wrongfully missed out on Best Foreign Picture 1994.
|
 | The Prestige
Buy new: $9.49 / Used from: $2.76 Again, Christopher Nolan. Hugh Jackman is good as always and Christian Bale tackles the most complex role in his career since THE MACHINIST. Michael Caine is always charming.
|
 | Seven (New Line Platinum Series)
Buy new: $23.49 / Used from: $0.95 A gory but very scary detective thriller. Brad Pitt is good but Morgan Freeman does his best since DRIVING MISS DAISY. David Fincher is one of the most talented directors all around.
|
 | Fargo (Special Edition)
Buy new: $9.49 / Used from: $1.47 This is the best film the Coen brothers ever made. Combining film noir, comedy, and drama Fargo is one not to be missed. Frances McDormand has her peak here and Steve Buscemi is as funny as his character in Reservoir Dogs.
|
 | Donnie Darko - The Director's Cut (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Buy new: $16.49 / Used from: $0.24 Richard Kelly's Donnie Darko is an American classic. Jake Gyllenhaal is handsome yet eerie and the supporting cast including Drew Barrymore, Patrick Swayze, and Maggie Gyllenhaal make the film wondrous yet thrilling.
|
 | Let The Right One In
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $3.68 In my opinion, this is the greatest film ever made. This does everything. It touches you, it scares you, it makes you sad, happy, everything. Everyone is superb in this. A MUST SEE!
|
 | Rear Window (Universal Legacy Series)
Buy new: $21.49 / Used from: $19.74 My favorite Alfred Hitchcock film other than VERTIGO. James Stewart is my favorite actor, and Grace Kelly is the most beautiful actress I've ever seen.
|
 | Dog Day Afternoon (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Buy new: $24.49 / Used from: $4.78 One of Sidney Lumet's best films. Al Pacino is great as the robber who screws up the plan and John Cazale is psychotic as his cohort.
|
 | 12 Angry Men (50th Anniversary Edition)
Buy new: $8.49 / Used from: $7.88 Also a Sidney Lumet film. My favorite Henry Fonda film and one of the best courtroom dramas to date.
|
 | The Shawshank Redemption (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Buy new: $21.99 / Used from: $4.29 This is what I'd call the most inspiring film ever. Tim Robbins is superbly cast as the lawyer framed for his wife's murder and Morgan Freeman is a force to be reckoned with in a film.
|
 | L.A. Confidential (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Buy new: $8.49 / Used from: $6.09 This is what film noir should be like. Kevin Spacey is cool and slick as always, Russell Crowe is brutal and sexy, and Guy Pearce is at his best.
|
 | The Godfather DVD Collection (The Godfather/ The Godfather - Part II/ The Godfather - Part III)
Buy new: $37.49 / Used from: $12.95 I picked the trilogy DVD because the trilogy is not to be missed. Though Sofia Coppola's performance earned GFIII a bad rap, its still worth watching. But in my opinion, the second is the best.
|
 | Saving Private Ryan (Widescreen Two-Disc Special Edition)
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $5.20 The most awesome war film ever. Everyone is great, possibly the best movie Spielberg made.
|
 | Pulp Fiction
Buy used from: $8.50 Quentin Tarantino is also a virtuoso, thanks to RESERVOIR DOGS and PULP FICTION, maybe JACKIE BROWN. Everyone is perfect here too, especially John Travolta and Samuel Jackson.

Listmania!
