 | Weekend

|
 | McCabe & Mrs. Miller
Buy new: $5.79 / Used from: $6.79 Warren Beatty as a bubbly, bumbling, belching human being. A western so good it's in its own genre. It pains me knowing that Altman is gone..
|
 | To Be and to Have
Buy used from: $8.30 Still the best documenatry I've ever seen (and yes, I HAVE seen Crumb). I'd recommend it to any teacher...
|
 | Boogie Nights (New Line Platinum Series)
Buy used from: $3.40 PTA becomes an institution! The perfect metaphor for 90's BIG America: a deeply moving portrait of a 13 inch c#*k. Pulp Fiction is not the most quotable movie ever made..this is.

|
 | Salo - Criterion Collection
Buy used from: $20.00 Hell. De Sade. You can't help but laugh..and then feel sick inside. Think "Pan's Labyrinth" makes fascism look scary, wait'll you see a movie that caused the murder of its maker.
|
 | Paris, Texas
Buy used from: $14.97 My favorite Wenders. My favorite road movie. And my favorite Travis (and yes, that includes a certain DeNiro character).
|
 | Nine Lives
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $1.78 Okay, so I haven't read his father's books, but Rodrigo Garcia is amazing. How does this native Mexican write such accutely accurate roles for women (esp. white women)? It's simply beyond me.
|

|
 | Tigerland
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $0.01 Many leading-men of my generation (Orlando Bloom, Ashton Kutcher, Chris Evans, Paul Walker)can't act their way out of a nutsac. Luckily, Colin Farrell isn't one of those.
|
