Citizen Anarchy [essential movies]

11 items

The Big Lebowski
The Big Lebowski (DVD - 2005) DVD BIG Available in some Locations Holds: 2 on 10 copies

Annotation:There is no good reason not to watch this movie. This comment abides.

Place a Hold
Reservoir Dogs
Reservoir Dogs (DVD - 1992)

Annotation:It was a tough choice between this and Pulp Fiction as the best Tarantino film thus far. Honestly, the rawness of Reservoir Dogs wins out and the fact that it feels less manufactured than Pulp Fiction (the dancing scene with Travolta, for example - Walken's monologue for another). Great performances and excellent dialogue.

Naked Lunch
Naked Lunch (DVD - 2003) DVD NAK Available in some Locations
Place a Hold
All That Jazz
All That Jazz (DVD - 2007) DVD ALL Available in some Locations

Annotation:The path to self-destruction has never looked better or more interesting. When I go I hope it's a huge musical production with appearances by Ben Vereen and Jessica Lange.

Place a Hold
The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover
The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover (DVD - 2001) DVD COO All copies in use. Availability details Holds: 8 on 1 copy

Annotation:Gorgeous and disturbing. The performances are top notch and is likely the first and only time a Peter Greenaway movie actually made sense from beginning to end.

Place a Hold
Harvey
Harvey (DVD - 2000) DVD HAR Available in some Locations Holds: 1 on 4 copies
