April 2014 50 Movie Challenge - Favorites

[Al_The_Strange]

This weekend, wound up watching:



Dang, forgot how awesome this is. I really should be a top 50 movie, but for some odd reason I wasn't into it last time I saw it. Will probably change that in the future; the film holds up well, has a heck of a style, and is one heck of a trip.



Was a blind-buy; pretty decent thriller with that distinctive Michael Mann vibe.



This is the one top 50 favorite I watched. Still pretty funny, charming, emotional, and visually impressive. Might slide off of my future top 50, but it's still good.

A bit of a concert video, a bit of a documentary, kinda like The Rolling Stones' Gimme Shelter, but in the Middle East with a bunch of guys playing on drums and weird stringed instruments. It's alright.
