The Blair Witch Project 1999
Just a great idea with an incredible build up that was chilling on opening night
The pace and building dread really pay off in a climax made entirely of suspense
Discovered RESERVOIR DOGS about the same time and was blown away by how much could be done with so little
People like to make fun of it with Ooo Scary Rocks and, yes, scary rocks! That's the achievement!

Anyway movie rules. Style to burn, not remotely dependent on it. Zero fat, every second riveting, already becoming a regular
Oh, and I hereby theorize…

Apocalypse Now 1979
A rare 6 star movie
Tough to know where to start or end with this. I am to this movie as Dennis Hopper is to Col Kurtz
The voiceover: best there is. Best written, best performed, best tone setting, edited in the best. Definitive. The best part is it could work without it, just much better with it
Sheen. He’ll never top it. He’s perfect. As Coppola points out, in reference to replacing Keitel, this needed a more internal actor…

The Blues Brothers 1980
Amazed no one got killed on THIS one
Dry like white toast, delicious as 4 fried chickens. And a Coke
I’m not sure there’s another movie with quite that same attitude. Absurdist, dry and massive all at the same time
The musical pieces never fail to give me goosebumps (in lieu of having any desire to dance)
The huge stunt spectaculars both hilarious and impressive
Lots of wit, lots of charm, lots of ideas that would come from nowhere else. Hasn’t lost a step
