Maybe I should explain. I'm in my early 20's and didn't have the luxury of seeing most classics in the theater. I also live in a horrible neighborhood, far from any independent theater they may be screening things like Blade Runner or Jaws and so forth. I'd say 95% of the movies I've seen, I've watched at home.

It's hard to just name "one" when you see countless of films that look good on the big screen, hence my list. And my previous comment....
Wasn't me feeling or showing anger or annoyance at what Carbs had to say, or what he thought, it was just a question out of curiosity.

Mad Max (1979) - (Solid introduction to the superior second part. The wife and baby scene was hard-hitting. Besides, your standard revenge flick. Not too original.)
Mad Max 2 [The Road Warrior] (1981) - + (Amazing. Gibson is amazing, Doggie is amazing, Captain is amazing, the final action sequence is very well done, too. I'm a snob and can't give it a better rating, since it's not artsy-pantsy slow burning drama about nothing. Then again, I rate Indiana Jones original trilogy the same and I love these films, so it's a very high rating for this type of films.)
Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985) - (Good Lord! What happened here? Mad Max became a children-friendly family adventure movie. The cage fight was mildly entertaining, but it just went downhill from there.)
Der ewige Jude [The Eternal Jew] (1940) - (Propaganda is good when it works. And it works.)
Kung Fury (2015) - (Very cool, but heavily draws from Danger 5. Manborg is better.)
Patrz±c pod słońce (1971) - (Good short. It has Polish beauty Barbara Brylska running naked on the beach!)
Kobiela na plaży [Kobiela On The Beach] (1963) - (One of the most known Polish actors of the era decides to do something that today we would call 'pranks'. He wears skier's costume on the beach, becomes a rescuer, ice-cream seller and then photographer to TROLL people. Entertaining watch.)
Nightcrawler (2014) - (Glorious. Maybe I'm overrating it, because I rate it higher than Taxi Driver and American Psycho, but I was really impressed with this. The restaurant scene has so much tension!)

Alan Partridge (Declan Lowney, 2013)
Have you seen Jim Jarmusch's Coffee and Cigarettes? I watched that earlier this year and I thought Coogan and Molina's segment "Cousins?" was the best part.

Favorite Movies
I saw Coffee and Cigarettes when it was in theaters but didn't know who Steve Coogan was at the time, I remember liking the sketch with Molina though. For Coogan, I especially liked 24 Hour Party People and The Trip (I liked The Trip to Italy, Tristram Shandy, Hamlet 2 all a little less than Alan Partridge but they were still okay). Anything else you would recommend?

Logan's Run (1976)
Dir. Michael Anderson
One of the better sci-fi movies I've seen. Not just for its time, but in general. Sure one could say it's a bit dated, but that's a nothing criticism. It's almost 40 years old, of course it's going to look a little aged. That being said, the story is great and the ending is as well.
FINAL VERDICT: Worth a watch. Especially for the last thirty minutes or so. A really nice message in there.
Mean Streets (1973)
Dir. Martin Scorsese
Arguably the most authentic Scorsese film and definitely one of my favorites. Harvey Keitel and Robert De Niro absolutely kill this one. You gotta love a tight, well told story. Never strays from the path, never drags and never finds a way to become a broken record. The ending isn't one I expected either, but loved nonetheless. Might do a full review on this at some point.
FINAL VERDICT: Church for any Scorsese fan but would also work for those maybe not too interested in the crime drama. There's a personal human element here that I think we can all relate to in one way or another.
