Ten Movies You Should See, Pt. 6
As always, I recognize the inherent assumption in writing another one of these lists that I seem to have access to knowledge that others don't. But it turns out that I'm pretentious; at least, I was told I was, and I was given the quote at the very bottom of this page as proof. Now, I don't think I'm all that bad, or at least not the worst; my friends and I don't "sit around on the floor with wine and cheese, mispronouncing words like allegorical and didacticism." But like the man said, if you're gonna be viewed as pretentious no matter what, the least you can do is knock down a few bodies with it. So I've decided to use my flawed personality for the greater good: Here are another 10 titles that I feel are either underappreciated or unknown by more than a few members of my generation.[See the first five lists.]1. Blood Simple (1984)2. The Fog of War (2003)3. The Man with the Golden Arm (1955)4. Straw Dogs (1971)5. All the Real Girls (2003)6. The Grifters (1990)7. In the Bedroom (2001)8.
