Actually, I'm a sucker for 50s/60s/70s movies of any kind, but there's jus too much to name any more.

it's a documentary about a mother and daughter who are shut-ins in a decrepit mansion, circa 1974. it was adapted to the stage this year, and they're about to crucify a brilliant story by making a big-budget motion picture of it with drew barrymore.

the original film the most amazing character study ever made. period.

Big-time Nerdality, but it's never stopped being a fricken cool, basically perfect movie, to me:

It's basically the French version of 'Elizabeth' done just as well. It's hot.

I'm totally with ya--I grew up in Northwestern Iowa in a very small town and the whole thing reminds me of that; from the scenery to the drama b/t couples who used to date in HS to the guys that still live there and drink beer everynight 'cause there's nothing better to do...

It doesn't matter how many times I watch it, but I'm always a blubbering mess at the climax.

Too much plastic in that one just by looking at the names.

It's not great porn - we have collectively amassed an enormous porn collection at school in our collective man-lust for lady-flesh. (It exceeds 120GBs I believe) so we're not short of porn, but Pirates is our favourite for its obscenely comic qualities. You can watch it as a hilarious film which deals with things films wouldn't normally deal with - where else would you find such great quotes as:

"Last night I dreamed my cock was a giant tri-masted Spanish galleon."

"Evil doesn't stand a chance against these twin hellfire cannons...Be careful of these cannons, they might go off."

Ep V is the second sequel that arguably surpasses the original as an all-time classic. I've watched it a couple of times recently, and it's as perfect a mix of special effects and quality storytelling as you will ever see.
