Repulsion

Roman Polanski

mgsant01: “Reading many essays and watching a few scenes from my films school days, just doesn't add up to what I'm knowing a masterful piece of work”

Knife in the Water

Roman Polanski

mgsant01: “Polanski's first film, but also one of his censored ones that has stayed with me for so long. A great trip gone horribly wrong, in what is great art!”

The Vanishing

George Sluizer

mgsant01: “Scared the hell out of me as a kid. Glad to see this is part of the Criterion. ”

The Seventh Seal

Ingmar Bergman

mgsant01: “An extremely disillusioned and morbid tale about the death of a society and all of its remnants trying to breathe a fresh piece of air...a great tale!”

Cul-de-sac

Roman Polanski

mgsant01: “One of Donald Pleasence's best films. An eery, yet comical film that Polanski never lets go of. One of his early best!”

Slacker

Richard Linklater

mgsant01: “Linklater's best work and the film that rocketed my adolescent viewpoints about life and art. One of the vessels that propelled me into filmmaking. ”

Videodrome

David Cronenberg

mgsant01: “Was recommended to me and can't think of a better, more sexy and edgy film! Only Cronenberg can deliver a film like this, that's way ahead of its time”

Days of Heaven

Terrence Malick

mgsant01: “This movie is truly one-of-a-kind. A beautiful spectral and view of the early 1900s mis-western America....I love Malick's brilliant direction in this”

Blow Out

Brian De Palma

mgsant01: “A great film for any film enthusiast...Travolta plays a man whose real art is making things right and using the right sounds to send those to justice”

The Rock

Michael Bay

mgsant01: “This is by all means, a true action spectacle that never lets up...one of Connery's best!”

Chasing Amy

Kevin Smith

mgsant01: “I love Kevin Smith, but this film stands out on its own and posses a kind of free-bird spirit protagonist that projects humor, love, and friendship. ”

La haine

Mathieu Kassovitz

mgsant01: “This gritty, sometimes-funny, sometimes-brutal, and completely-brilliant film takes us to the backstreets of France where anything is possible...”
