citizen Kane

Its brilliant. it encapsulates everything we have learned about. it shows why it was not considered amazing when it first came out to the public and now is considered one of the best all time movies that every film enthusiast needs to see.

The Seventh Samurai

Very interesting movie, I really liked how director showed the class differences between the samurai and the villagers who were just average peasants. Also this movie is a good story how an old hero protects average people from bandits.

Citizen Kane

I really enjoyed this movie. The story line is kind of slow, but the movie contains a very strong message which makes this movie brilliant.

Great Acting

For those that love a great actor. Check out Matt Damon in Goodwill Hunting, he is amazing. But he also sucks in a lot of films so watch Team America to get a good parody.

some background is that matt damon's character has been in and out of jail for assault and other random crime, he is brilliant but he has some mental issues. That would also explain his split lip. Both he and robin williams do a great job in this film and i highly recommend it

Hardball trailer

this is a great example of a classical paradigm.

8 1/2

i found this movie a little disturbing and intoxicating. However, there were some elements to the film that were creative and imaginative. Over all my friends and i liked it!!

Ikiru

Fantastic movie of a mans journey in life. Very moving film that stresses the value and goodness of man-kind.

Suspiria

I really enjoyed the movie we watched in the theater last week. The music and overall low lighting really created an emphasis during the more shocking scenes as well as create this eery tone you could feel throughout the movie. Also seeing it on the big screen with full surround sound really made the movie that much better.

Film Noir

While we were watching Out of the Past it reminded me of a bit they used to do on Who's Line is it Anyway where they would act out a scene in the style of Film Noir. 

Untouchables Train Station Sequence

Here is a sequence from the movie The Untouchables. It is a great sequence that is a homage to Battleship Potemkin's Odessa steps sequence. I apologize the picture quality is not that good but still worth the viewing.

Heat Diner scene

here is a great scene from Heat a film by Michael Mann that features Robert De Niro and Al Pacino, two of the very best actors of their generation face to face. Hope u enjoy!!
