I enjoyed Man on Wire (it's a documentary, but a really well done one) and 500 Days of Summer ("This is not a love story. This is a story about love.").
Okay, I hope this works: -Party Down -Californication -Fawlty Towers -Visioneers -Super High Me -tons of old Woody Allen movies -Zach Galifianakis: Live at the Purple Onion
-Underground (a fantastic Serbian film set throughout the latter half of the twentieth century. Utterly fascinating and darkly hilarious.)
-Primer (be prepared to watch this one at least twice.)
-lots of Werner Herzog movies (I would particularly recommend Fitzcarraldo (and the documentary made about the making of Fitzcarraldo, Burden of Dreams), The White Diamond, and Grizzly Man
-Werckmeister Harmonies (a Hungarian masterpiece. shot in just a few long, gorgeous black and white shots. a very intense movie)
-Dark Days (a documentary about a town of homeless people in NYC subway tunnels)
-Let the Right One In (a vampire movie that's actually really good. and it's Swedish)
-The Triplets of Belleville (perhaps my favorite movie. I own the DVD. If anyone wants to watch it, I will watch it with you.)
That's all for now. I don't want to give away all of my secrets at once...
Oh yeah, Primer! I'll second that one. I meant to include it on my list but had trouble posting originally and forgot about it. We should probably have a group viewing and discussion.
oops...movies/tv show dvds is what i meant.
ReplyDeleteMy recommendation:
The Wire: the entire series (this is basically all i've gotten from netflix)
