Letterboxd — Your life in film

Hal Hartley's best film and one of the defining indies of the early 90s.

Still my favourite film of the 2000s

One-of-a-kind debut film from the great Larry Cohen, this hilarious, subversive, scabrous satire goes places few films would dare and more than pulls it off. Yaphet Kotto delivers a knock-out performance in the title role - if Robert Altman had decided to make an exploitation movie, this darkly hilarious cult classic might have been the result.

Just checking this is still the best film ever made. It is.

Impeccable Chinese masterpiece - a subtle and devastating tale of emotional suppression and unrequited love.

Jaws on blu-ray. Water great film!

A film that has got better with every viewing - I liked but didn't love it at first and it didn't quite make my top films of the 2000s list a couple years ago. But now - my fifth vewing - I think it's probably Linklater's masterpiece and the best sci-fi film of the past decade. Looking forward to viewing number six.

A first viewing on blu for one of my all-time most-watched favourites. Shockingly it's now nearly 20 years old, which means more time has past than from the year it was made (1993) to the year it's being nostalgic about (1976)! Nevertheless, it remains the greatest teen/high school movie ever made.

Shamefully my first ever watch of this classic - a brilliant, unique melding of melodrama, film noir, satire and even horror that blends cinematic fact and fiction decades before the likes of The Player.

Pretty much a flawless adaption of Nick Hornby's novel and my favourite film from all the key players - Cusack, Frears, Black. Hadn't seen it in a few years and it seems to have gotten even better with age.

My favourite film of 2011, and every bit as gripping, funny, harrowing and brilliant on a second viewing.

One of the all-time great documentary films - for my money much more powerful than Gus Van Sant's more recent dramatisation of the same story.
