"Chuck and Buck." This is a very poignant film with an aspie-ish main character who is obsessed with a childhood friend who hurt him.

This is one of my favorite movies of all times, because it manages to end on a positive note despite being such a heart-wrenching story.

Phil the Alien is an indie Canadian comedy that I rather enjoyed. I recommend seeing it if you can actually find it.

The movie "1941". It is funny movie about L.A. getting ready for the Japaness to invade the US in the days following Pearl Habor. The music is done by John Williams and Steven Spielberg directed it. It is very very very funny.

Other movie is the "Russians are coming, Russians are coming." This is a funny movie about a Soviet submaire runs a ground in New England town and they try to get help to get the submaire back in the ocean. It is set during the Cold War, so you can imagne all the things that go wrong for the Soviet crew and people of the town.

I love that movie ! ! Haven't seen it in years and years ! !!

One to find is "The Adventures of Buckaoo Banzai", it's totally weird and makes almost no sense whatsoever.

Another is "Twelve Monkeys" directed by Terry Gilliam, a masterpiece about the end of the world AND time travel ! !!

I loved "The Russians are coming, The Russians are coming". It came out the same
year as "Dr. Strangelove" (another goody).
My favorite cult movie is "Bladerunner", sometimes I feel that I am a Tyrell Corporation
reject. Let's hope that life never becomes a cheap commodity.

Another good one ! !! (The graphic novel is GREAT!! !)

Here's an oldie: "The 7 Faces of Dr. Lao", it's a fantasy set in the old west. Very interesting, stars Tony Randall, and Barbara Eden.

"The Boondock Saints". Great cult flick.

One of my favorite quotes from the movie: "We could kill EVERYBODY!"
