A Clockwork Orange, A first class dystopian jeu d'esprit to quote the author Anthony Burgess for all the the right reasons, actors, a script that takes nothing away from the novel and the sets including the Transcriptors turntable (will post an image of it soon [still in my NN's estate] it has sustained some damage over the last 50 years but still an icon) and the music. A master piece from Stanley Kubrick.
Quadrophenia, Just need to say The Who, love all versions of Tommy the album but the movie wasn't good at all.
Barbarella as with my other selection, because someone dared to make it.
There are many great dystopian movies that have been produced as a result of these but you would have to go back to Fritz Lang's Metropolis to find a movie that had the same impact on the movie making industry as these had.

Kubrick is great. If not for the incessant "ants marching" theme throughout the movie that leaves me feeling maddened, I'd have Dr. Strangelove on my list. It was a great example of his styling. I also liked Full Metal Jacket, that was a great piece on the human psyche.

Sad to say I have never seen Barbarella, but I'm sure the nostalgia would appeal to me if nothing else. That is a cinematic time lost to the ages. Campy but period appropriate and definitely something to appreciate.

Hope you're doing well ;)

To a much lesser extent (as I've not actually watched it all the way through), The Room.

Yes, it absolutely counts, lol. Great movie! And of all the movies I would consider "chick flicks", this one takes the cake. My wife had never actually seen it and I made her watch it about 3 weeks ago, she loved it. I couldn't believe she had never seen it.

Usually, Troy, the most historical fiction cult story movie I've watched the first time ever. It's about Achilles in the Greek army vs the Trojan army.

Staying with History Kingdom of Heaven The Directors Cut, very close to actual events and the characters themselves were text book, with Ghassan Massoud portrayal of Al-Nasir Salah al-Din Yusuf ibn Ayyub or Salah ad Din to his friends worthy of an Oscar.

And here I was saying napoleon dynamite was one of my favorite cult classic films...very nice. I do remember the presentation and acting to be really good in Troy. Cheers chica, merry Christmas and hope your new year is great as well! ;)

I'd have to say The Wall is my favorite though.

Geldof is an asshole, His children are just like their father....waste of space. Having said that only an asshole could have played Pink so well in The Wall, he made that movie, and increased the sale of Jamaican salad everywhere it was shown.

I don't know anything about Geldof's personal life. I've heard that Roger Waters is a leftist and pompous ass, but The Wall is an amazing movie and concept album.

Classic Spaghetti Western w/ extra cheese.
If you can make it through the first few minutes of the excruciating theme song,
the movie is unintentionally hilarious.

Love me a good spaghetti western...Good/Bad/Ugly was probably the first adult movies I ever got interested in as a kid, and I never could understand at the time why the words the actors spoke didn't match up with the lip motions...never occurred to me that it was filmed in Italy with Italian actors and dubbed over, lol. I haven't ever seen Keoma though, I'll have to check it out!

RIP - Ennio Morricone, the best western composer of all time...

Yeah, G,B&U is a masterpiece.
Definite respect to Morricone, too. The themes to all 3 "man w/ no name" movies were so cool.

Ecstasy of Gold...just damn. Check out the remix if you ever need a theme song to feel badass while walking somewhere or doing chores around the homestead. You can't help but feel pumped, lol.

I haven't seen the new Dune, but I want to. I'm a little afraid of disappointment though. It's one of my favorite movies/novels.

I don't think you'll be disappointed. It's only part 1, so not as much has been excised, nor as much altered, as the David Lynch version.

I was able to follow it, and I haven't read the book.
2 ups, 3y
The novel is much different from the movie, lots more detail. Very well written though, I recommend it if you're ever able to spare the time. It's pretty long.

I liked the david lynch version originally, its actually what interested me in the story. I've since become a little dis-enthralled with it since then because it omits so much from the original story.

What Lucas did for the Jedi Frank Herbert did in 1965 with the Bene Gesserit sisters and the Kwisatz Haderach Dune will always be the thinking mans Star Wars.

If Blade Runner 2049 didn't do it for you then Dune will also disappoint you, Same director that hadn't read the books. Denis Villeneuve without going on-line to find them name 5 movies made by him........
