| 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)

|
| 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)

|
| 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)

| 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)

| I hate horror movies, but I love this flick. Enough said. |
