I urge any cinema lover to check out North by Northwest ('59) directed by the legendary and masterful director of suspense Alfred Hitchcock. I also wanna recommend Psycho ('60) that is releasing this October on the 19th.

And if you like those films, I also recommend Rear Window, Vertigo, The Birds, Rope, Strangers on a Train, Rebecca, Notorious ('46), Shadow of a Doubt, The Lady Vanishes, The 39 Steps, and almost any film by that director when/if they ever get BD releases. Though you might as well rent them on DVD, if you can bear watching DVDs. But those are films worth discovering on just about any format you can get a hold of. Ther'ye older movies than many people are probably used to, but there's no better time than to discover the classics!

Also: Dial M for Murder is rumored. So I would also recommend that one!

If you want to find out about more films by that director, I suggest going to IMDb.com and simply looking up that director and his films.

This director has been a revelation of cinema to me, and I have a feeling there's a lot of people/cinema lovers who haven't discovered or simply considered this great and masterful director!

Agreed on North by Northwest, it's amazing on blu.

I'm going to go with the one-two punch of Wong Kar-wai's films, Chungking Express and Fallen Angels. Both are amazing and a couple of the best from my favorite HK director.

LethalStriker · 07-12-2010, 11:39 AM

You definitely need to get Full Metal Jacket on BD. It just makes a great movie that much better.

Freekman · 07-12-2010, 12:44 PM

Saints and Soldiers - a great war film that goes beyond action and dives more into the psychological aspect of warfare. The only catch is you have to import it, but AMZ UK has it for under $15 USD.

This TV show is absolutely awesome, try it out if you are into sci fi

Clint Eastwoods "Every which way but loose" Excellent transfer! and excellent sound.

A Haunting in CT

Pretty good ghost movie, based on original events.

I hope you don't mean that last part, since Alfred Hitchcock has been pretty well established as one of the best directors that ever lived. I also think that North by Northwest isn't exactly a slightly obscure title that the majority of people doesn't know about, so it doesn't really fit in this thread (it remains a fine movie, though).

jcarugati · 07-12-2010, 02:18 PM

Go for "Dark City." If you liked "The Crow," it's the same director and a pretty neat movie.

The Theory · 07-12-2010, 04:31 PM

a few titles hand-picked from my collection:

The Adventures of Baron Munchausen
Terry Gilliam classic that has a stronger Monty Python feel than his later works.

Amelie
Have to get it imported, but it is region-free and totally worth while. A beautiful flim with a great story and beautiful visuals.

Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon
A mockumentary focused on a serial killer. Funny, an engaging villain, and some neat shots make this a winner in my book.

Creepshow
Campy horror shorts collection collaboration between Stephen King and George Romero. Some scary stories and some brilliant stories. A beautiful watch beginning to end.

From Dusk Till Dawn
Robert Rodriguez + Quinten Tarantino + George Clooney = best thing ever.

The Girl Next Door
Not to be confused with the Elisha Cuthbert vehicle, this is a torture horror classic. Great set-up, truly sad events, and a nausea-inducing story. A blind buy on my part... I couldn't take my eyes off the screen. Perhaps my #1 under-rated classic.

Paper Heart
Cute little love story starring Michael Cera. It is a psedu-documetary, so Cera plays himself and Yi plays herself. The camera almost feels like a third character, which makes the viewer uncomfortable at some of the peeks into Cera and Yi's "life".

Salvage
Doesn't look good, doesn't sound that great, mediocre acting, and cheap special effects are all overshadowed by a brilliant script. Recommended for the horror fan.

Triangle
Watch it. Join the club.

That was more than one. Oops.

I am way behind on my films lately.... so I must admit to having not seen any of those...... based on the cover-art, I'm adding all three to my Netflix queue..... my wife is tired of checking the mail and finding films that "Don't Make Sense" (as she puts it

)

Speed Racer (2008)

Why?

Absolutely stunning Picture Quality. I have seen around 100 blurays and none of them have the PQ of Speed Racer. 100% digital and perfect. It has the PQ of animated movies but its live action. I watched a few scenes last night and the quality amazed me again. Parts of the film looked like moving high quality photos. Stunning. I have a feeling Warner Bros wanted to boost sales of the blu-ray by producing an awesome picture for the format to make up for its losses in the theaters.

The movie itself is at the very worst "fun". Personally I really liked the movie not sure how you can dislike it.

And to top it all off, it can be found almost anywhere now for only $10.

If its not in your collection it should be, especially at this price.

Wyndam · 07-20-2010, 12:37 AM

I'll have to go with Constantine. One of the most underrated movies of the last decade, if you ask me.
