Forgive me that I am horrible at writeups, and my overwhelmingly cluttered graphics are also rather annoying. We start off with The Warriors, an over-the-top, ridiculous tale of a New York street gang on the run from the other gangs of the city when they are suspected of killing the man in charge of bringing all the gangs together. The surrealism of all of the flamboyant different gangs around the city and the journey of following The Warriors throughout a ran-down, alternate New York works very well, and the way the plot meshes and flows together makes for a very solid, fun to watch movie that could never be made in this day and age. Hill isn't a particularly good director, but The Warriors is a film I really do enjoy.

Unlike it's American remake, Wicker Park, this French romantic thriller from '96 starring Vince Cassell of Eastern Promises fame, as well as Monica Bellucci, is incredibly engaging, and with a bit of convulsion aside, is definitely up there with some of the most visually interesting films I've seen. The film has a phenomenal climax, it's shocking yet incredibly subtle, the latter being something the film Wicker Park got very wrong. This is a very delicately handled film that has lots of room for error, but succeeds in most of what it tries.

I think #149 looks interesting. Definitely will be added to the queue and I'll report back whenever I watch it.

Your cinematic tastes differ wildly from mine, which should make this fun watching.

These graphics are giving me seizures.

Fun graphics!

Hmm, two great choices so far, one (L'Appartement) being an overlooked gem that I rarely, if ever, see mentioned around here. I'm getting suspicious...

Hill isn't a particularly good director
Nevermind.

Nevermind.Supernova.

#148 is a horrible film, and one of the only real "guilty pleasure" picks on here.

Supernova.

How did we go from paragraphs and graphics to this? You've changed man. You've changed.

This was my favorite movie when I was like, 10. From the director of such classics as Bratz, this movie starred Randy Quaid, The Fonz, and a very young Jessica Alba, and at the time for me, was completely and totally awesome. I haven't seen it since 2001 or before, but it was ridiculously fun and surprisingly violent for being a Disney Channel movie. Henry Winkler shooting at people with a hunting rifle. The writers did The Secret World of Alex Mack, and it's the same basic principle here. I really need to see it again, because it's crap now, it has to be, but damn I used to watch this thing over and over again.

Ah I thought Supernova was 148.

No, Supernova is why Walter Hill is :crazy:.

Yeah, but I like the quotes.

Before the world ever heard of Super Troopers and Jay Chandrasekhar wasn't making episodes of The Lipstick Jungle, five friends under the moniker of "Broken Lizard" self-funded a little independent comedy called Puddle Cruiser, a simple down to earth college comedy about a guy wanting a girl and having to deal with her totally apeshit ex-boyfriend. The film was a huge smash at the Sundance Film Festival in 1996, but didn't get picked up by a distributor and was released on DVD a few years later trying to appeal to the National Lampoon's crowd, and to this day it still has no audience. This strays far away from their other efforts, Super Troopers, Club Dread and Beerfest, which I do like, but this is a genuinely funny indie comedy with lots of hilarious verbal exchanges clearly extracted from the Clerks style of independent filmmaking. It's definitely worth a watch.

Yeah, because one film out of twenty-five clearly is indicative of a bad director. Not to mention Francis Ford Coppola had some input as well, and Hill was so dissatisfied he took his name off the project.

I imagine this will be an interesting list, but these graphics are making my eyes bleed, so I probably won't be able to keep up.

Eh, I'll stop with the graphics.
