The Indy Film Meme
Grabbed from Roger Green's blog. Films I've seen are in italics, films I own on DVD are in bold.
1. Reservoir Dogs: I probably watch this once a year, and never get tired of it.
2. Donnie Darko: One of my five favourite films ever. I wonder which of the others will make this list?
3. The Terminator: I have T2 on DVD, but don't feel like I need any of the other films in the series.
4. Clerks: I vastly prefer the cartoon to the movie, actually.
5. Monty Python's Life of Brian: I've tried to watch it multiple times. It bores me silly.
6. Night of the Living Dead: I used to own a public-domain VHS copy and wouldn't mind owning a nice DVD of this.
7. Sex, Lies, and Videotape: Haven't seen it since it was first in theaters.
8. The Usual Suspects: I can almost never get enough of Kevin Spacey.
9. Sideways: Very good film, Paul Giamatti is just an awe-inspiring actor.
10. Mean Streets: Never seen it.
11. Bad Taste: Never heard of it.
12. Eraserhead: One of the first films to redefine the medium for me, and still a favourite.
13. Memento: Liked it and would like to see it again sometime. I should write myself a note so I don't forget to rent it again.
14. Stranger Than Paradise: Never heard of it.
15. Blood Simple: Never seen it, would like to.
16. She's Gotta Have It: Ditto.
17. City of God: Never heard of it.
18. Withnail and I: Ditto.
19. Lone Star: I am 70 percent sure I saw this, but I'll be damned if I can remember what it's about.
20. Slacker: Never seen it.
21. Roger and Me: Very good movie, really ahead of its time in predicting the downfall of oil-intoxicated America.
22. Nosferatu: Saw this on PBS a hundred years ago, along with The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. PBS used to run good shit like that all the time. Ooh, and The Lathe of Heaven, too! What happened?
23. The Evil Dead: The sequel was better.
24. Happiness: Never seen it, but it reminds me of Peggy Hill's "ha-PENIS!" routine.
25. Drugstore Cowboy: Never seen it.
26. Lost in Translation: Liked it, but like Roger, didn't love it. Something was missing.
27. Dark Star: Nope.
28. In the Company of Men: Meant to see this.
29. Bad Lieutenant Bleak but powerful.
30. Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song: Really? There's a movie with that title?
31. Pink Flamingos: I seem to be allergic to John Waters movies.
32. Two Lane Blacktop: Never heard of it.
33. Shallow Grave: That was from the Trainspotting guy, right? I think I liked it.
34. The Blair Witch Project: Fucking overrated.
35. THX-1138: Ugh, God, no.
36. Buffalo '66: Never heard of it.
37. Being John Malkovich: SHould see this.
38. Grosse Point Blank: I always like Cusack much more than I expect to going in.
39. The Passion of the Christ: At last, Christianity has its own Leni Riefenstahl. Good on yer, Mel.
40. The Descent: Haven't seen it.
41. Dead Man's Shoes: Ditto.
42. Swingers: Uh, thritto.
43. Shadows: Fritto?
44. Amores Perros: Come on, you're making 'em up now.
45. Mad Max: Don't remember much except piss-poor cinematography, right?
46. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre: Pretty sure I saw it, but no real memories associated with or about it.
47. Blood Feast: Never heard of it.
48. Cube: Ooh, I liked this a lot.
49. Run Lola Run: Never saw it.
50. El Mariachi: Saw it, liked it. Also the name of a good Mexican restaurant on Washington Avenue in Albany.
