I'm going to go in a different direction, Yoshi, and suggest that instead of Annie Hall you watch Crimes and Misdemeaners (hopefully that's cool to do with this thread). I have a love/hate relationship with Allen movies, but that film blew my bollocks off. It's fantastic, and a good reminder that sometimes someone's most notable work isn't their best. I feel the need to justify mine. Americans have Netflix, RedBox, whatever, but over in Australia film rental has just died and there's pretty much nothing reasonable to replace it (that I know of). If you want a movie, you pretty much have to buy it. I have no money. That said: 1. Seven Samurai - Kurosawa in general, really. I've seen Rashomon, but for some reason I have never crossed paths with his other films. 2. Solaris - I recently saw Stalker (if you need any more shame, it's because I liked S.T.A.L.K.E.R., okay?), which was absolutely amazing and convinced me that I've been missing something by not chasing up Tarkovsky earlier. 3. Chinatown - I know almost nothing about this film save the amazing poster. 4. Touch of Evil - Same boat as everyone else. I've seen the opening shot, which I found intriguing because I wonder how a film could progress from such an ostentatious opener. 5. Unforgiven - I have no excuse for not seeing this one. Love westerns, love Eastwood, and I've seen most of the notable Spaghetti westerns. I've just somehow never moved on from then. I'm not sure I've ever seen a post-1975 western. Mostly because I live near a theatre that plays double-features from a really wide variety of films and despite frequent westerns I'm not sure they've ever played any 80s/90s work. I'm doing exam stuff at the moment, so I might not be able to watch my suggestion right away, but I'll try to get around to it.
