Desperado (1995)
Even better than El Mariachi, although on a far greater budget this time around, Desperado will have you laughing from your seat at the ridiculously over–the–top action sequences, complete with flame–throwing and rocket–launching guitar cases.
El Mariachi (1992)
A low–budget actioner from the low–budget king of special effects himself, Robert Rodriguez. RR shows us how to make an entertaining and visually exciting film on a shoestring budget.- DVD
$15 $11.25
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969)
A very well–scripted Western drama/conman–comedy, with outstanding chemistry between Newman and Redford, a great score, some great action, and all–time–classic moments that will keep this film on your top list for many years to come.
Stickmen (2000)
A fun New Zealand comedy/drama that at the very least will have you and your mates laughing and keen to get back into the poolhalls again to see if anyone can really pull off 'the drunken master'.
Color of Money, The (1986)
Cruise is even more of a hard–case than Newman in 'The Hustler', fighting to beat every opponent and prove something to himself – what, we're never sure. Enjoyable poolhall drama with arrogant Cruise on top form, if a little cartoonish at times.
Sting, The (1973)
A must–see film for fans of the hustle/conman genre, The Sting makes use of the brilliant on–screen chemistry of Redford and Newman seen in 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid'. Complete with a classic soundtrack.- DVD
$19.95 $14.95
Hustler, The (1961)
A classic poolhall drama, complete with hustles, bluffs, and some fantastic pool shots. All filmed in beautiful black and white, and starring an edgy young Newman who refuses to give in.
Army of Darkness (Evil Dead 3) (1992)
Awesomely silly horror–fantasy–medieval world in which Campbell tackles the undead with a chainsaw as an arm and boomstick in hand. The effects may have aged, but the one–liners are still great.
House of 1000 Corpses (2003)
This debut feature film from Zombie may be nightmarish and bloody, but it lacks structure and coherence, the latter half of the film in particular coming across more like a disjointed collection of horror clips. That said, it is strangely frightening.
Devil's Rejects, The (2005)
A more coherent outing than Zombie's previous, this blend of action and horror will have you on the edge of your seat the whole way through. Provided that you’re not shy of a little… well, a lot, of blood.
