[Cortez The Killer]

I rarely buy dvd's anymore, I just use my 3-at-a-time netflix subscription..its a great service (theres a blockbuster one too).

Anyways, aside from the main stream or cult classics everyone has already mentioned, make sure to check out these. Excellent films that dont get as much recognition as they should:

1) Dead Man - Starring Johnny Depp. This is one of my top 5 favorite movies. A man is shot and slowly dying and is taken into care of a wandering Indian named "nobody". Goes on a mystical/spiritual journey and becomes a killer of white men in the process. Amazing movie!
2) Old Boy - Don't get the dubbed versions, much more worth it to read sub-titles. And reading subtitles isn't nearly as bad as most people think it is. An awesome Korean-made revenge flick.

3) Audition - Japanesse film makers go the the extreme, and the director of this (Takashi Miike) has made some flat out crazy-twisted films. Audition is a "horror" movie but unlike any you've ever seen. Great build up. Again, avoid the dubbed version and watch it with subtitles.

4) The Lion King - Who could forget the heart-wrenching tale of Simba and his rise to power and epic battle with evil Mufasa

Hey mate , I got Dead Man in the mail today from netflix.. I am looking forward to watching this later tonight !
I believe you suggested this movie in a thread a few weeks ago? anyway
