The Master

Raiders of the Lost Arc at the La Reina Theater. 1980. Friday Afternoon. Opening Day.

I'm kind of a Barton Fink guy, though No Country For Old Men is right up there. Fargo is great, their tightest movie.

Too many to list. Just depends on what part of my life. When I was a kid it was war movies and westerns. Clint Eastwood. Was a big Lee Marvin fan.

In The Heat of The Night, On the Waterfront, Millers Crossing, The Roaring Twenties, Midnight Cowboy, The Heartbreak Kid (the original) and more..

One thing I never get tired of is the film Burden of Dreams, which is the documentary by Les Blank about Werner Herzog trying to make a movie called Fitzcarraldo, which involves moving a steamship over a steep hill.

These are movies that, after seeing them, inspired me to go make…something, anything! Since I don’t know how old you are, you should know there’s some titles that are incredibly adult (Clockwork Orange, Enter the Void, Chopper, Come and See, Blue Velvet come to mind) so beware. But enjoy and be open; that’s how I like to approach a movie. And turn off you phone and don’t check your email, it affects the experience. 8 ½ Abigail’s Party Ace in the Hole Act of Killing Aguirre, The Wrath of God Airplane Ali: Fear Eats the Soul Alien (Scott) All About My Mother All that Jazz All the Presidents Men American Friend Amores Parros Apocalypto Apollo 13 Ashes and Diamonds Asphalt Jungle Awful Truth, T...[Read more]
