What better way to start a list than with a Kubrick film? FMJ is terrific. Blue Velvet is also awesome.

That's about where I have Full Metal Jacket on my list, and I also love Blue Velvet and The Maltese Falcon. I haven't seen Ran or The Third Man yet, but would like to.

It's not bad, per se, but I do urge you to see The Third Man asap, as I think that's the one you'd like the most.

Ran is the only film I haven't seen from this list so far but it's been on my watchlist for a while now and I intend to finally see it sometime this year.
