Tangerine (2015)
A wonderfully told story that is both layered and simplistic. Merges and disassociates subplots with ease, and makes you truly care about a crew of very underrepresented characters. Looks gorgeous to boot. 
Mystery Train (1989)- Jim Jarmusch takes you for another wildly chill and beautiful ride. Few directors can capture the beauty in the mundane or the effectiveness of simple relationships as well as Jarmusch and this is no different.
Lobster, The (2015)- A unique and strange view of love and companionship, told through the lens of a horrid and shocking black comedy. Nicely directed, with deadpan performances that don't feel dead.
Captain Fantastic (2016)
- My personal favourite film of 2016. While one of the funniest films of the year, it is also one of the smartest– using a almost conversational tone and creating 3 dimensional characters to create discussion instead of preach.rn
Deep Red (1976)
Maybe its just the extended cut we watched, but this movie fell pretty flat. Excellent cinematography and a few good practicals, along with a superb soundtrack couldn't save this film from being sluggish, confusing and ultimately just a bad story.
Scanners (1981)
Fun exciting romp, you're following all the way through and its directed brilliantly– but it's not much more than that. Worth watching for a good time and some fantastic practicals however. rn
Wait Until Dark (1967)
Very stage play Esque, but not in a bad way. Some phenomenal tension and amazingly clever little moments of outwitting– Alan Arkin can play a damn good villain and Audrey Hepburns childlike stubbornness leads to a great battle of the wits.
Hellraiser (1987)- It's messed up, has themes of torture and lots of uncomfortable sex– Yet is a fantastic movie. Once accept these things you'll see a fantastic narrative with Interesting characters with distinct motivations– and the practical effects are terrific.
Before Sunset (2004)- Better than the first one. Themes rarely touched on (well) in film circulate two incredible performances in a movie that ends at the perfect moment. It eloquently talks the way you wish you could, about a very real relationship.
Jacob's Ladder (1990)- Political, smart and hallucinogenic– this film is sold by Tim Robbins' fantastic performance and a phenomenal atmosphere. Is also a very layered film, in a different stranger way to the other smarter nineties horrors (6th Sense, 7).rn
- Blu-Ray $29.95
