A famous war drama that is actually about something more interesting, told on a grand scale by David Lean and bunch of great actors.

RYAN’S DAUGHTER (1970)
Lots of beautiful Irish locations can’t save a movie that is incredibly long for the amount of story it has and includes a series of truly awful performances.
ODD MAN OUT (1947)
I really enjoyed this dream-like film noir about a doomed man’s wanderings through Belfast.
MAN OF ARAN (1934)
A documentary so early it doesn’t know the rules about documentaries, about life at the edge of human existence.
A CLOCKWORK ORANGE (1971)
An “ultra-violent” discussion of free will, human nature, and what it means to be good. At least, I think that’s what’s happening?
GOLDENEYE (1995)
James Bond plows into the modern era by blowing up the Arecibo Telescope a quarter century early.
GOLDFINGER (1964)
The late, great Sean Connery stars in maybe the best of all the Bond movies.
