The hunt for red October Terminator trilogy Police story Basic instinct Hardboiled Rosemary's baby Stand by me Face/off Game of death. My dad and brothers collected cool DVDs.

The Assassination of Jesse James by the coward Robert Ford.

Spirited away or Grave of fireflies. I also love Wall-E and The iron giant.

I hate to say it but Annie Hall (1977)

The dark knight for its frenetic depiction of post 9/11 American paranoia Kickass. The batman Spiderman 2. Captain America: The winter soldier. Yes, the Russo brothers are an earthly scourge and corporate jesters but we both appreciate Three days of condor (1975)

Raising Arizona.

Florence + the machine singing about the monotony of male music on one of the worst tracks of the year is the brand of irony that enlivens my gonads.
