Cabinet of Dr Caligari. Peak Expressionist cinema with a solid story
Rosemary's baby 1968
Turns out, its about spousal abuse.
Still Hits soooo hard.
Gold Diggers of 1933 - pre-Hayes Code and funny! It’s fast talking and much of it came across as modern to me.
Zardoz.
The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. Greed is a poison.
Meadows' Dead Man's Shoes still gives me the same effect it gave me when it came out. Practically went straight to DVD at the time, cant find it on streaming.
I'd add True Romance, Night of the Living Dead, Barbarian, Conan (last two are nothing alike, LOL!)... it doesnt have to be big budget to be timeless..
Speaking of time... Time Bandits. Fuckng amazing movie!
Scrolling through this thread reminds me if the good ol' days of the r-word site, before Spez smegged it all up. Nice post, Fat Tony.
Road to Perdition has some of the best cinematography I have ever witnessed.
Shawshank Redemption The Great Escape The Good the Bad and the Ugly Clerks
Bob Roberts. It's more relevant than ever!
