Wow! Eraserhead. I haven't watched this movie since I was a teen and perhaps much too young to appreciate it. Thanks for pointing it out Buddy. I'll definitely add it to my list and even invite a few friends over for movie night. Interesting pick!
B movie recommendation: Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, starring John Cusack, Kevin Spacey and Jude Law.
If anyone is into odd type movies, I recommend Being John Malkovich. We're big John Cusack fans, and will watch pretty much any movie he stars in. I have to admit that I was a bit disappointed with Room 1408, his most recent horror flick...strange ending. Classic Cusack -- Say Anything and Sixteen Candles. I'm still in love with those!
NYCMac -- Last King of Scotland was amazing, and Notes on a Scandal is currently on my queue. I'll have to move it to the top. All the Bourne movies are highly rated here as well. My husband loves the intrigue and the incredible special effects, and how about that Moby song? I recently read that Matt Damon will not be playing the role of Jason Bourne anymore. He's afraid of being typecast in this type of role. I'm not sure how successful another Bourne movie would be without Damon though. His involvement is a huge contributing factor to the success these movies have experienced.
Buddy, I noticed that you have Shawshank Redemption on your list. Have you see The Green Mile? I've never been a Stephen King fan, but these two movies were outstanding in my opinion and rate right up there with The Shining, one of my all time favorites.
Silent Movie pick: Speedy -- 1928 Harold LLoyd classic. Babe Ruth has a cameo appearance in this movie as well as a few Civil War vets. TCM just recently played it, so I'm not sure if this is available for rental from a club. I'd say this film can be classified as a silent action film with amazing views of New York City. It was filmed on location throughout Manhattan, Brooklyn and the Bronx. A definite must see!
Has anyone seen Alfred Hitchcock's The Wrong Man, starring Henry Fonda and Vera Miles? This is the movie that was partially filmed in Jackson Heights. I'll have to check Netflix to see if they have it. There's a trailer for the movie at Turner Classic Movies:
