The Virgin Suicides

Raising Arizona

Tarnation

Tough to sit through, both for the boring bits and the disturbing ones, but still interesting.

Animatrix

Not really vital or even helpful in understanding the movies, but rather something to be appreciated simply as art.

The Matrix

Completely engaging and absolutely unbeatable.

Green Street Hooligans

Elijah Wood's eyes are disturbing.

Pan's Labyrinth

Excellent companion piece to The Devil's Backbone.

The Lost Boys

Who knew Jack Bauer was ever this cute?

Breach

The Missing

Phantoms

Unzipped

Quite possibly the only movie during which I've ever fallen asleep, if that tells you anything.

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest

Joyeux Noel

Hide and Seek

Gerry

Casey Affleck may be cute, but him walking around the desert does not a movie make.

Blood Diamond

Ravenous

Infection

If you want a real horror movie, watch an Asian one.

Pump Up the Volume

Blue Velvet

Truly bizarre.

Zardoz

Just look at Sean Connery in this movie and tell me you don't want to watch it. I was surprised to see that it actually has a plot.

The Devil's Backbone

Eulogy

Not nearly as funny as it's supposed to be.

Dracula

Very Bad Things

Very bad movie.

Memoirs of a Geisha

Young Adam

My Super Ex-Girlfriend

Why, Uma, why?

The Last Kiss

Jackass Number Two

Ichi the Killer

I love a lot of things about this movie, especially Kakihara's outfits, and of course the smoke thing.

Delicatessen

Three Kings

Va Savoir

Takes a while to get going, but it picks up.

Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story

The movie they were making is more interesting than the movie that was made.

Talladega Nights

Titus

10 Items or Less

Not even Morgan Freeman could save this.

Chronicles of Riddick

Not quite as good as Pitch Black.

Seraphim Falls

Beautiful, but boring in bits.

The Butterfly Effect

Breaking and Entering

Jude Law needs to stop playing this character, but the parkour stuff is cool.
