- Less than Zero. It's not a good movie. It's a trainwreck, actually. But between the score and the art direction and the colossally '80s ness of it all it ends up as a personal icon of mine.

- Back to the Future 1, 2 and sometimes 3. The original BttF is perhaps one of the most intricately masterful exercises in screenwriting I've ever witnessed.

- Kevin Reynolds' The Beast. You've never seen it, and you'll have a hard time changing that.

- The African Queen. Bogart. Hepburn. Huston. "Tohr...pee does."

- The Naked Prey of, for and by Cornell Wilde.

- Head. The Monkees you never knew. Directed by Jack Nicholson.

- Gary Cooper in Sergeant York.

- Alien.

- 2001.

- Forbidden Planet.

- Bad Influence with Rob Lowe & James Spader.

- Nausicaa.

- Renaissance. Best noir since Blade Runner. No, not Brick. Fuck Brick.

Edited to add tremors which is far and away the best B-movie ever made, possibly the best B-movie that ever can be made.
