Films that will enrich your life.

	Stalker [DVD] [1979] Buy new: £7.98 / Used from: £6.99 Haunting. My first Tarkovsky and my favorite.
	The Philadelphia Story [DVD] [1940] Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.99 Perfect comedy of remarriage.(As Stanley Cavell calls them.)
	Scarlet Street [DVD] [1945] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] Buy used from: £10.50 Perfect film noir.
	Pulp Fiction (2 Disc Collector's Edition) [DVD] [1994] Buy used from: £2.98 Still his best.
	Letter From An Unknown Woman [DVD] [1948] Buy new: £7.98 / Used from: £6.99 A weepy? a woman's film? Perhaps! There is that moment of recognition.' What have I done!'
	The Gospel According To St. Matthew [1967] [DVD] Buy new: £5.98 / Used from: £4.75 The finest gospel made flesh. Real flesh! Pasolini has a talent for depicting the human,perhaps therefore the divine also. It's in the faces!
	The Seventh Seal [DVD] [1957] Buy new: £12.98 / Used from: £5.24 There had to be a Bergman in here. And for me it had to be this one. Though Persona is probably equally deserving.
	Vertigo [DVD] [1958] Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.00 Hitchcock at his best. Perhaps only equalled by Rear Window
	Zina [DVD] Buy new: £19.59 I saw this when I was very young. It haunted me. I found it again, it is still very strange and thought provoking.
	A Man For All Seasons [DVD] [1966] Buy new: £14.98 / Used from: £4.80 An inspiring film. Paul Scofield is a brilliant actor.
	Marx Brothers - A Night At The Opera [VHS] [1935] Buy used from: £4.51 You dont fool me. There ain't no sanity clause!
	Burnt by the Sun [DVD] [1995] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] Buy used from: £39.95 Heartbreaking,brutal and beautiful.
	Ugetsu Monogatari [VHS] [1953] Buy used from: £3.99 Heartbreaking,brutal,beautiful and uncanny.
	King Lear [DVD] Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £3.00 Scofield inhabits Lear. From dignity to madness. Dark and deep.
	The Sacrifice [DVD] [1986] Buy new: £9.78 / Used from: £9.99 Another Tarkovsky. Madness or miracle?
	The Green Ray [1986] [DVD] Buy new: £7.98 / Used from: £2.95 I only recently discovered Rohmer. They are all good(I've seen six or seven by now) but this for me has the most delicate touch. Very little,almost nothing...
	Bande A Part [1964] [DVD] Buy new: £13.68 / Used from: £7.00 It's worth it for the dance scene.
	Ordet [VHS] [1954] Buy used from: £5.99 Kierkegaard on film? Perhaps.

	It's a Wonderful Life [1946] [DVD] Buy used from: £20.00 This is on lots of peoples lists. Watch it and you''ll see why.
	Three Colours White [DVD] [1994] Buy new: £5.28 / Used from: £3.29 White is my favorite of the trilogy. Light and funny;dark and serious.
	Nosferatu The Vampyre [1979] [DVD] Buy new: £3.98 Strangely beautiful. It reminded me in parts of the paintings of Casper David Friedrich.
	Bringing Up Baby [DVD] Buy used from: £3.80 Anoter brilliant comedy. You will laugh I can assure you. Hepburn is very funny.
	Fargo [DVD] [1996] Buy used from: £7.55 Wonderfully paced comedy. Clever and inventive.
	The Shootist [DVD] [1976] Buy used from: £3.65 I don't watch westerns. But I watched this on tv one night. I don't know whether it's a good western, but I do know it's a good film. If you only watch one western make it this one.
