	Big Night (1996)
It's the small details, passion for food and talented ensemble that make this a very special movie.
	Being John Malkovich (1999)
Our introduction to the very talented and strange writings of Charlie Kaufman.
	Things Change (1988)
This movie moved me a great deal. It seemed more than a "buddy movie" and became David Mamet's homage to the Godfather.
	Henry & June (1990)
This is a sexy movie made by the guy who directed the Right Stuff. I love this movie.
	Glengarry GlenRoss (1992)
For those of us who have lived this...it's a harshly too familiar. One of those casts that seems like an All-Star Game lineup. Another Mamet movie and clearly these were roles that these fine actors enjoyed playing.
	Eight Men Out (1988)
Again, it's the small details and wisdom of John Sayles that make this a very special movie.
	The Cook, the Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover (1989)
This is where set design leaves the pavement. A visual feast in many ways and a personal favorite.
	Zero Effect (1998)
Sherlock and Watson in a very odd manifestation. You'll either appreciate the dry humor or you won't but it's a little-seen comedy that deserves a look.
	The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (Criterion Collection) (2004)
Wes Anderson and Noah Baumbach created a remarkable rogue that only Bill Murry could have pulled off.
