Fifth Element
-no matter how many times I watch it, it gets better every single time. Amazing.
Stand By Me
-A fantastic story about growing up. Trancends periods for me. Reminds me of my own childhood, and the adventures I’d take.
Christmas Vacation
-Holiday classic that I watch every year.
Trains Plains and Automobiles
Tommy Boy
Dumb and Dumber
-These are three of the best comedies ever made. Repeated viewings do nothing to diminish their hilarity.
And of course Star Wars (mostly) and LotR are in thier own category of coolness.

Well, I guess I could put any five of Kieslowski’s Decalogue on but I’ll treat it as one. And it is originally a TV series. Start off either at the beginning or with the devestating ‘Thou shalt not kill’ (also released as a full length feature under the title ‘A short film about killing’
Andrzej Wajda Kanal. About the Warsaw Uprising – not a cheerful movie
Andrzej Wajda The Promised Land Epic of the industrial revolution in Poland. Not a cheerful movie
Roman Polanski Knife in the Water Thriller of existentialist alienation.
Now without friendly things like Amazon to jog my memory I’m not sure whether it was Janusz Nesdorf’s [the] Unloved [woman] (Niekochana) or Wojciech Has’ How to be loved (Jak byc kochana) that I did love but one of them anyways.
I also liked films that didn’t generally get great reviews like Kieslowski’s Blind Chance (much better, original version of Run Lola Run), Wajda’s Holy Week – good holocaust flick, and the first serious movie to be made about post communist Poland, the very violent thriller ‘Dogs’ (two ex secret police types, one allowed to remain as a normal cop, the other not and who becomes a mobster) I think I really liked Tadeusz Konwicki’s Last Day of Summer but again, can’t remember for sure – it’s been a while.
(this is my way of avoiding that silly five film limit)
amd was played in NYC as a cult fave 2 sections a once all summer in an art house- maybe someone will pick it up again for the summer movie doldrums-
<<begin rant>
although the way old theaters are closing down here (Beekman just closed) I don’t know if there’s going to be any public venue for non-action-adventure stuff since dvd and huge flat screens are privatizing the movie experience.
Good technology but too bad for social interaction- there’s something wonderful about sitting in an audience full of strangers watching a film that’s not present, no matter how big a screen you have at home…..

So we finish 18 and he starts to walk off…you know tries to stiff me and I say hey Dhali!! hey Llama!!
