Fuck it, here's my top 10:

1. taxi driver
2. el topo
3. tetsuo: the iron man
4. videodrome
5. holy mountain
6. izo
7. maniac (1980)
8. wild at heart
9. bad lieutenant
10. pinnochio 964

Great list! I love many of these don't know 2 of em (Maniac and 964 Pinnochio) and am puzzled by your inclusion of Izo.

Izo just seems like a marathon of violence - and that guy maniacally strumming on his guitar...
From what I've been told, a lot of the point of this film is lost in the west because most of us don't know the pop culture icons in this Japanese ensemble film and we don't know the historical figures they are portraying.
It ends up just being a long series of murders in a lot of varied settings.

I think Izo is just amazing.

A surreal journey through a man's afterlife.

Just amazing. I can't put it into words. Though I did. There's a review I did on imdb, my name on there is polysicsarebest...

Weird, it's my favourite Kubrick.

Thanks guys, I just wanted you guys to recommend me any movie that you like. I just want to order more from netflix.

Eyes Wide Shut, bored me when I watched it.

Amores Perros, I have seen it one too many times.

!@#$%! · 05.01.2008, 11:09 AM

i think a lot of people missed the point in eyes wide shut

the point was not to shock or scandalize

the point was to present a bumbling moron way way out of his depth

and kubrick did just that

just like in barry lyndon, where another mediocre male actor portrays a similar case

which actually make it a good casting choice.

I thought that was the point of Tom Cruise in general?

Rob Instigator · 05.01.2008, 11:16 AM

I thought Eyes Wide Shut was very interesting. It was sold as one tghing but in actuallity it is a tale of one man, his relationship with his wife, a day full of nearly every type of temptation imaginable, from under age girl to whores, to orgies, to drugged decadence, and he does not take them. he plows his way through and finds himself back at home with his wife, without ever betraying her

Derek · 05.01.2008, 11:21 AM

Eyes Wide Shut is in my top 5 movies. This is how much I like it.

Some movies by Mike Leigh:

yes while i generally detest tits cruise i think he was properly cast in this movie. his inability to adopt any facial expressions other than boyish smile & brood-with-chin-forward certainly contributed to the characterization of the naive fool. kubrick was an evil mastermind putting him in that position, and cruise's then-wife blew poor tom out of the water both in acting chops and as a character in the film. funny thing, they divorced afterwards (she's too much woman for that asswad in my opinion).

but anyway. yes.

also watch barry lyndon & observe how ryan o'neil's mediocre performance actually serves the same purpose. very smart.

Rob Instigator · 05.01.2008, 12:55 PM

one o my all time favorite movies

The Children of paradise
Les Enfants Du paradis
