1) Dead Again (1991)- The Kenneth Branagh movie which almost no one has seen but everyone should. It's a classic film noir story- a mute woman (Emma Thompson) is taken in by a convent, and the nuns ask private detective Mike (Kenneth Branagh) to figure out who she is. The man most willing to help (Derek Jacobi, people. Derek f**king Jacobi!) is a hypnotist who claims he can see into her past life, scenes of which are shot in black and white and sprinkled throughout the film. Basically, I can't do it justice, but it's incredibly exciting, well acted, and well done. Rent it now.
2) Repo Man (1984)- I have heard multiple people call this cult classic a "date test movie," as in, if the girl (or guy) doesn't laugh at the right parts or think it's funny, they're clearly not the person for them. So, if you don't get the context for the phrase "Plate o' shrimp" and "Let's go eat sushi and not pay" means nothing to you, it's time you rent it. There are aliens. And cars. And a really, really awesome soundtrack. Emilio Estevez is in it!
3) Brick (2005)- Amazingly good plot, hot guys, great dialogue... this movie has it all. It's another film noir, only set in a highschool. It surrounds a brick of an unnamed over which the main character (played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt)'s ex-girlfriend was killed. As he attempts to figure out who her murderer was, his own history come into light. It's really fascinating, and might even take two watches to understand fully.
4) Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter (2001)- It is not a porno, but it does have lesbian vampires. And Jesus gets a makeover. Probably not a great movie to watch if you're concerned for your soul.
That's it for now folks. I'll be back with more at a later date.
