YABU NO NAKA NO KURONEKO

1968 Japan

Beautiful theatrical horror with a satirical edge, touching on war, masculinity and feminism.

Un prophète

2009 France, Italy

The greatest prison movie of all time and one of the great movies period. A transcendental meditation on identity.

2001: A Space Odyssey

1968 USA, United Kingdom

It's not a film it's a religion.

The New World

2005 USA

Where Terrence's form and content met in perfect harmony. A lightning in a bottle moment.

Drive

2011 USA

The best movie soundtrack of all time.

Blade Runner

1982 USA, Hong Kong

RIP Rutger Hauer. Best ending monologue in film history. Ridley was on fire.

Akira

1987 Japan

I want the bike it's fire.

The Matrix

1999 USA, Australia

Quite possibly the smartest film of all time. With some of the best action it's definitely one of the most influential pieces of art to grace our species.

Bad Lieutenant

1992 USA

The most underrated director of all time.

Do the Right Thing

1989 USA

Spike at his freshest, most funny, irreverent and cool.
