LouV's Running List

How silly is it to have a list of top movies to own. Of all the hundreds of thousands of movies that have been made you mean to tell me these are the 11 that you should own?

Love and Sex

Jon Favreau (Swingers, Dinner for Five) and Famke Janssen (Bond girl) have wonderful chemistry together. Cute, funny, romantic comedy; one of the best of the past 10 years.

Apocolapse Now

The extra scenes added in Redux ruin the movie. If you can, don't get Redux ! (Note: link to the left is for the standard version).

Pulp Fiction

If for nothing else, own it just to watch Travolta and Uma Thurman do their thing.

Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid

Redford and Newman at their best. Tense, funny, full of classic lines. 'Who are those guys?'

Reservoir Dogs

Two Quentin Tarantino films in the top 10? Mr. Pink, Mr. Black, Mr. White.. the gangs all here. Christopher Penn will be missed.

Harold and Maude

To watch the many ways that Harold simulates suicide early in the movie is worth the price of ownership.

Valdex is Coming

One of the great revenge films.

Combat Shock

Realism and a shocking, disturbing ending. You will either hate or love this movie; think it is half-baked full of bad acting or think its a low-budget contemporary of Eraserhead and DeNiro's Taxi Driver -- it may be both! But it is guaranteed to be one of the most memorable movies you will ever watch.

Woodstock; 3 Days of Peace of Music

A film that concentrated on the fans and the story around the concert as much as the concert itself. Great music too.

Raiders of the Lost Arc

Best ever action movie. Thrilling, tongue-in-cheek, and Karen Black is real cute.

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

Standard fare for anyone's movie collection. I..D..I..-- Idiots -- It's for you.
