	A Clockwork Orange (1971)
No list is complete w/o a Kubric film and this one my fav. More awesome, thrilling and engulfing than Spartacus, Dr Strangelove, and even Full-Metal Jacket. FMJ's 2nd half drops it from my best Kubric.
	Autumn Sonata (Criterion Collection) (1978)			Not Rated
Difficult to choose a favorite Bergman movie.
	Faithless (2000)
Another Bergman touch.
	Scenes from a Marriage: TV Series (Criterion Collection) (Disc 1 of 2) (1974)
Possibly my favorite Bergman, not sure.
	By Brakhage: An Anthology (Criterion Collection) (Disc 1 of 2) (1964)			Not Rated
Worth watching a thousand times. Own it and despite many hours of viewing I am far from finished
	By Brakhage: An Anthology (Criterion Collection) (Disc 2 of 2) (2003)			Not Rated
I watch some pieces in this anthology frame by frame.
	The Order - From Matthew Barney's Cremaster 3 (2002)			Not Rated
A small token from the Cremaster cycle. Barney literally introduces a complete realm in the cycle.
	Aguirre, the Wrath of God (1972)			Not Rated
Thrilling and maniacal.
	Close-Up (Criterion) (1990)
Seen it a few times over the years and has grown. Poor thing GC doesn't carry Kiarostami's "Through the Olive Trees" or Mehrjui's "Hamoon"
	Woman in the Dunes (1964)			Not Rated
Masterful photography and philosophical.
	Diabolique (Criterion Collection) (1954)
George can systematically outdo Hitchcock without any scary music to aid.
	Wages of Fear (Criterion Collection) (1953)			Not Rated
Webster under thriller says: "see Wages of Fear."
	8 1/2 (Criterion Collection) (1963)
Scattered, unsure, emotional, intuitive, feminine,italian. It's fellini.
	The Decalogue (Disc 3 of 3) (1988)
Philosophical yet entertaining. Ok, quite entertaining.
	Blue Velvet (1986)
Quite freaky. I really liked it.
	Twin Peaks: Pilot Episode (1989)
Must-see TV
	Rosemary's Baby (Criterion) (Disc 1 of 2) (1968)
Love the dream sequence
	American Splendor (2003)
Who doesn't like this movie?
	Last Year at Marienbad (Criterion) (1961)			Not Rated
Masterful photography, beautiful clothing. Multi-layered. That obscure object of reality.
	The Qatsi Trilogy (Criterion) (Disc 1 of 3): Koyaanisqatsi - Life Out of Balance (1982)			Not Rated
Eye candy photography, interesting music, forget the philosophy.
	The Legend of Suram Fortress/Ashik Kerib (1988)			Not Rated
Oooh, Paradjonov is unreal. Modern art meets middle east.
	Mon Oncle d'Amerique (1980)
Must-see for couples.
	Contempt (Criterion Collection) (1963)
This one grew on me over time. How suddenly one can form contempt for something or someone.
	The Up Series: 42 Up (1998)			Not Rated
The series may afftect your view of life, social class, success etc.
	The Blood of a Poet (Criterion Collection) (1930)
Pretty weird and good.
	The Collected Shorts of Jan Svankmajer vol.1 (2002)			Not Rated
Oooh, creative, colorful, entertaining. I watch this frame by frame.
