	Frida (2002)
I love this film. It brings art to life with a blend of narrative and experimental elements. And for those of us who love the Brothers Quay, it's got a nice treat.
	Bound (1996)
Lesbian love, the mob, scandal, lust... it doesn't get any better than this.
	O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000)
Probably my favorite Coen brothers film. With good reason, I think.
	The Princess Bride (1987)
This is one of the best films of all time. It's flawless. If I were stuck on a desert island, this would be one of the movies I'd bring with me.
	Some Like It Hot (1959)			Not Rated
This is the other movie I'd bring with me on the desert island. One of the best comedies of all time (if not the best). Impeccable.
	Citizen Kane (1941)
Orson Wells was so hot back in the 40s, wasn't he. And who else could get away with a film at this time that shows no one's face for the first several minutes? Brilliant film. Absolutely brilliant.
	Amelie (2001)
This movie reminded me of why I fell in love with Paris. And Audrey Tautou is flawlessly adorable.
	The Fearless Vampire Killers or: Pardon Me, But Your Teeth Are In My Neck (1967)			Not Rated
Sure, they gave Polanski an Oscar for The Pianist. But this is still my favorite Polanski film, and one that is often forgotten. A cult classic.
	Switchblade Sisters (1975)
Girl gangs, high drama. Who could ask for more?
	Perfect Blue (1997)			Not Rated
Probably the best anime film I've ever seen. Chilling and well-executed drama.
	So I Married an Axe Murderer (1993)
I dunno, it makes me laugh. Number three on my list of desert island movies.
	Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998)
This film convinced me that Guy Ritchie is a genius. Fantastic film. It's funnier if you're fairly familiar with English culture, but still a rollicking good time.
	Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn (1987)			Not Rated
I hate horror movies, but I love this flick. Enough said.
