Good list! I also have the Henry V soundtrack. Very sublime.
My top 25:
Seven Samurai
Lawrence of Arabia
The Rules of the Game
Le Samourai
2001: A Space Odyssey
Apocalypse Now
Goodfellas
Once Upon A Time In The West
Vertigo/Notorious/Rear Window (a three-way tie for Hitchcock films since I can never decide)
The General (1926) (Buster Keaton was brilliant and this can still kill with an audience)
E.T. The Extra Terrestrial
My Neighbor Totoro
Die Hard (agree with your comments; also beautifully shot and edited)
La Jetee (short film that inspired 12 Monkeys but this is gorgeous, thought-provoking and affecting. Also better)
JFK
Almost Famous
Hard-Boiled
John Carpenter's The Thing
Heat
The Three Musketeers/The Four Musketeers (1973) (because they're two parts of the same film and both are spectacular swash-bucklers, not to mention hilarious)
Blade Runner
Aliens
Monty Python's Life Of Brian (I love Holy Grail but I prefer this these days)
The Matrix trilogy (yes, even the sequels. Especially the sequels.)
The Empire Strikes Back
I ought to invite you back on the podcast some time, if you'd like to come back, of course. I've been thinking of re-editing and reposting our episode. I didn't know what the hell I was doing then but I got a better handle of it now.
Understandable. I paid $3 less and its become a nice surprise. I don't buy the $60 games that much and I chose this game mostly by some trusted review sites.
Good write-up! I'm nearing the end of my 2nd playthrough and the game still holds up beautifully.
It's definitely strange but I wouldn't consider it campy. It tries to cram so much story and world-building in a 2 hr. 7m. running time when it should be a three-hour. I think the Wachowskis did as good a job they could to keep the story coherent. Its definitely worth a watch.
A friend of mine (who also loved JA) saw Chappie Sunday night. He felt it was messy plot wise but a lot of fun.
From Hell is awesome. I can still remember so much of the gnarly imagery. The art can be crude at times but its very reflective of the down-and-dirty setting that its based in. I haven't read it since college.
Chappie is taking a beating critically and I suspect its doomed to be a punching bag like Jupiter Ascending. I haven't seen it yet but I still want to.
Congrats on completing the move! Hope you get to feeling better!
I've seen Castle of Cagliostro but I don't think I've watched any Lupin episodes since the censored versions were broadcast on Adult Swim. I'm not sure if they still are. Loved the movie but didn't get the appeal of the show (probably since they were censored and dubbed; put the on the list of people that hate dubbed anime or foreign films in general).
Will do!
No, you can go at it single-player but it gets rough once you reach level 5 (where I'm at currently). Having teammates can make a difference. I was lucky to get some helpers on one match and despite how noobish I was at times, no one was using their mics. If you get it, let me know and we'll kill some space bugs!
