 | Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $3.59 Not quite as good as Park Chan-wook's second film in "The Vengeance Trilogy," Oldboy, but Oldboy is based on a comic (which I haven't read), and this film is also really fantastic.
|
 | Shaun of the Dead
Buy new: $9.49 / Used from: $4.50 If you love zombies, and you love British comedy, there really is no reason not to like Shaun of the Dead.
|
 | Lucky Number Slevin (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $1.69 I think anyone who likes dark comedy, action, and really well done twists, would like this movie. Kind of Pulp Fiction-esque.
|
 | Seven (New Line Platinum Series)
Buy new: $23.49 / Used from: $1.49 Fantastic, moody, gruesome and somewhat thought-provoking murder mystery/detective story.
|
 | Reservoir Dogs (15th Anniversary)
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $3.69 My favorite Quentin Tarantino film. A story of the aftermath of a bank heist gone wrong.
|
 | Donnie Darko - The Director's Cut (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Buy new: $16.49 / Used from: $4.99 Dark, vague thriller and/or sci-fi. Depending on how you want to interpret it.
|
 | Porco Rosso
Buy new: $22.99 / Used from: $3.57 This one is really different from any of my other favorites. Minimal family friendly violence, fairly light. In fact, it may be because of this that I like it so much. It's really nice as a pleasant relaxing break.
|
 | Memento (Widescreen Two-Disc Limited Edition)
Buy new: $19.94 / Used from: $3.93 Technically it's based on a short story by the screenwriter's brother. However, the story was written more as a first draft to get ideas for the screenplay, and it's really good, so I'm going to say it counts.
|
 | Hot Fuzz (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $1.95 Not as good as Shaun of the Dead, and part of a genre which has been done a lot more, the comedy police movie, Hot Fuzz is still fantastically funny and blows any other cop spoof movie out of the water.
|
 | In Bruges
Buy new: $9.49 / Used from: $2.45 Another dark comedy featuring guys with guns and violence. This really seems to be a theme here.
|
 | Pulp Fiction (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $7.35 As previously alluded to, I actually like Reservoir Dogs better than Pulp Fiction, unlike what seems to be the popular opinion. However, Pulp Fiction is still also really fantastic.
