From Dusk Till Dawn (1996): A Robert–Quentin fanboy roadie–natural–born–killers–zombie–slasher flick that isn't completely sure of itself, and hence fails to fully rise beyond its bloody B–grade pieces.; DVD ~~$20~~ $15
Planet Terror (2007): Another rare B–grade splatter that takes it all the way, and then pushes a little further. Finally, the Grindhouse is back!
Fight Club (1999): Sadly, if you didn't see Fight Club in the late 90s and before the spoilers, you may have missed your chance to fairly and fully experience the brilliant and now cliché pop–culture phenomenon that it has become.
Choke (2008): A disappointing rendition of a darkly humorous Pahlanuik affair—although perhaps a film portrayal of the precocious protagonist was always doomed to fail.
Intacto (2001): Intacto called out as a film due to press all the right buttons for a deep and stylistic suspense drama. However, it ultimately winds up as a collection of compelling ideas that fail to live up to their promise in both style and substance.
Run Lola Run (1998): Viewing more like an extended music–video than feature film, this colourful romp with Lola is brief, thrilling, sometimes unpredictable, and somehow always entertaining.
Bad Taste (1987): One of those very rare B–grade splatter films that festers and mutates in the minds of its many cult followers until no longer discernable from a top–tier–production. Simply brilliant, and the included documentary alone is worth the price of admission.
Brick (2005): A modern noir and underdog hit, this first feature film from Johnson is complete with dark–comedy deadpan and detective/murder mystery spawned from both Raymond Chandler's witty noir and Anthony Burgess' quirky dialogue.
Twin Peaks - Season 1 (TV Series) (1990): A TV series that gets deeper and stranger the more you watch. Both daring and provocative, Frost and Lynch have earned Twin Peaks a place in TV and cult history alongside other classics such as The Twilight Zone.
Road, The (2009): A film so heavy on tension and pending doom (if not of our lead characters, then of all humanity) that it at times threatens to outweigh any pleasure gleaned through its watching. A bleaker post–apocalyptic world has never existed.
