The 80s Dune movie is awful. Never rent it. The miniseries is 10000 times better.
My soundcloud. Please give feedback if you want!

Dune was a brave, but flawed attempt at filming the unfilmable. As Frank Herbert fan I hated the film when it first came out, but with subsequent viewings I've come to quite like it.
 
Prior to Lynch there were two other attempts that were started but failed to see the light of day - the first by Alejandro Jodorowsky, featured set-desgins by Moebius, Chris Foss and HR Giger, a script by Dan O'Bannon and a soundtrack by Pink Floyd; the second by Ridley Scott was also to feature artwork by Giger, but Scott abandoned the project to make Blade Runner instead.

The directors cut works better, more background info and....
...you get to see Patrick Stewart play a Chapman Stick specially desinged for the movie to look like an acoustic instrument. He does a good job of emulating the fingerings.

Serenity by Joss Whedon.

When I first heard of it I was skeptical as I was never a fan of the Buffy series. But I'd never seen Firefly, and after my brother's recommendation, I watched the film and was delighted! Definitely recommending this one. I might look into the series as well...

John Woo's Hard Boiled- finally put back into print on DVD, this is Woo's finest achievement (The Killer usually gets that honor, and it's hard to make the call, since they're both masterpieces). Great plot, insane and innovative action, and no one looks more cool firing gins than Chow Yun Fat.

Don't rent it. You'll be sorry.


Oh God, I made the mistake of seeing that movie. That was so weird.

I really liked that movie. But then again I really do like weird movies which don't explain everything.
Has anyone ever seen "Zardoz", starring Sean Connery and Charlotte Rampling? Now that is a completely weird movie. Connery runs around in what looks like a red diaper, with strips of ammo across his bare chest and a gun in hus hand. It looks hilarious.

 
Yes I did and liked it. I like also "The man who fell on the earth".

Has anyone seen this Hungarian movie called "Kutya éji dala" (The Dog's Night Song)? I saw it at a theater last year and thought it was amazing, and now I'd like to see it again, but apparently it hasn't been released on DVD.

INLAND EMPIRE by the all-mighty Lynch

His latest movie, the most weird and hardest-to-get-into. Worthy of buying along with a soundtrack

"Joe Strummer: The Future Is Unwritten" by Julien Temple
 
Even if you hate punk to your last dying breath, this is a captivating, if over-long film that shows a different side to Strummer to the image he liked to portray (ie it does not gloss over his middle-class hippy roots - one that ironically he returned to towards the end of his life) and puts a different perspective on the Punk movement than the one Temple has been renowned for showing in the past.

Akira Kurosawa's Yojimbo- One of many Kurosawa films one should see, this actually got me into Westerns, strangely enough. I say that because this is the origin of the Man With No Name, which Sergio Leone adapted for Fistful of Dollars. Had I not seen this and Seven Samurai, I doubt I would have ever started watching Westerns like The Searchers, Shane, and the Man With No Name trilogy
