10 Random Movies Worth Revisiting

MY FIRST MISTER (2001) Highly overlooked film from Christine Lahti starring Albert Brooks and Leelee Sobieski that involves a bizarre relationship that forms between the two of them as they are on opposite ends of the spectrum, he is a uptight mens clothing store manager and she is a 17-year old gothic chick with some serious identity issues, together they form a friendship and learn to deal with each others differences. Has some great surprises too!

THE RED VIOLIN (1998) Dir. by Francois Gerrad and insanely overlooked this film stars Samuel Jackson and Greta Scacchi. The film traces the history and lives that were in some way, shape, or form touched by one particular violin and it's shape on history.

REDS (1981) Warren Beatty, Diane Keaton, M Emmet Walsh, Jack Nicholson, Paul Sorvino star in this dramatically charged epic directed by Beatty himself. Journalism, Revolution, Love...they sorta go together, reminds me in some respects of THE UNBEARABLE LIGHTNESS OF BEING, another great film.

MIRACLE MILE (1988) Dir. by Steve De Jarnett this little nuclear holocaust, post-apocalyptic gem deserves to be discovered! Starring Anthony Edwards and Mare Winningham this a movie that would definitely be enjoyed by fans of the show 24.

THE WORLD AT WAR (1974 MiniSeries) Considered by many to be the premiere documentary to encapsulate the second world war and is also now on DVD and can be found on Netflix...this is one mini-series you DON'T want to miss. It will grab you from the initial moment to the last. Just breathtaking, surreal, poignant, and devastating.

DEATH AND THE MAIDEN (1994) Dir. by Roman Polanski and starring Sigourney Weaver and Ben Kingsley this film flew under many radars and continues to be lost, so to speak. Brilliant performances and stunningly tight narrative that involves politics, torture, and fascists regimes...what else can you ask for?

ROSENCRANTZ AND GUILDENSTERN ARE DEAD (1990) Dir. by Todd Stoppard this film has yet to find it's audience, despite starring Tim Roth, Gary Oldman, and Richard Dreyfuss, and yes the film centers around the two characters from the masterwork HAMLET by Shakespeare.

SECONDS (1966) Dir. by John Frankenheimer and starring Rock Hudson this superb Sci-Fi thriller is way ahead of it's time and is still as eerie and creepy today. This film takes a look at what life would be like if you were unhappy with who you are and could just create a new identity for yourself ...all you need to do is change your face.... let's just say that 'seconds' doesn't refer to a unit of time in this film. The opening credit sequence by Saul Bass is in and of itself a masterpiece as well.


DANGEROUS LIVES OF ALTAR BOYS (2002) Dir. by Peter Care and starring Jodie Foster, Kieran Culkin, Vincent D'Onofrio, Jena Malone, and Emile Hirsch. A very funny and creative coming-of-age film that uses some great comic-book character imagery as well. Great young cast and excellent storyline!

THE LONG GOOD FRIDAY (1980) Dir. my John Mackenzie starring Bob Hoskins, Helen Mirren, and Pierce Brosnan even has a small role. A really taught and cool gangster-esque film that really utilizes Hoskins at his best. Also, a very 'explosive' film and has one of the best scenes on film with a broken bottle.
