CHINATOWN (1974)

The definitive neo-noir, a movie I love, now inextricably linked with the crimes of its director.

ALIEN (1979)

A masterpiece of a horror movie. IN SPACE!

ALL THE PRESIDENT’S MEN (1976)

Two paranoid journalists do the leg work that ended up bringing down a president. Never has watching guys slowly dial rotary phones been so compelling.

THE EXORCIST (1974)

Still shocking, after all these years.

SUSPIRIA (1977)

The plot may make no sense, but this gory, psychedelic fever dream still retains its power after all these years.

BEING THERE (1979)

If he acts like a rich white dude and talks like a rich white dude, does it matter if he has no idea what he’s doing?

THE GODFATHER PART II (1974)

This all-encompassing sequel involves at least two separate movies that never quite meet.
