came to it a second time, looks good
Christie Malry's Own Double-Entry (2000)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0213561
Unexpected film of the BS Johnson novel, in a cheap pile of DVDs; Nick Moran as a stunted Malry, pinpointing his life by totalling its moral debits and credits, and crossing the line between schadenfreude and terrorism, to a Luke Haines soundtrack.
All the President's Men (1976)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00004CX82
Nice house-of-cards, overlap-of-probability portrayal of the investigative journalist's craft, if almost unbearably slow-burning in its procession of not-quite-informative-enough informants.
Revolt of the Zombies (1936)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000A0DVI
Entertainingly meandering and low-key colonial zombie-hypnosis nonsense. Moral: a relationship that you're having to constantly reinforce through the presence of a standing zombie army probably isn't going to last.
The Royal Tenenbaums (2002)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000062V94/026-1807145-6198006
"Immediately after making this statement, Royal realized that it was true." Throwing a broken family back together, in a film that manages to be facetious without ever quite being throwaway.
Three Colours White (1993)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00005QG0J
A Polish barber understatedly "down on his luck" flees from Paris with only a comb and a suitcase, to rebuild his life back home. The ascent is patchier than the descent, but it's all good, the whiteness of the set design is quietly all-pervading.
Blackmail (1929)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00062IZM2
Hadn't realised that Britain's first talkie was one of Hitchcock's. Strange buildup from initial silence-and-soundtrack into full, proper speech - the studio only decided to make it a talkie halfway through, but it comes across as clever self-reference.
Lundi Matin (2002)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000094P1P
A blankly-frustrated welder walks away from a mundane life in rural France to wander around Venice. Feels like two completely unconnected films, and that we don't really see any genuine perspective from him. Good range of pick-your-own metaphors, though.
The Blob (1958)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00004W3HE
Wonderfully randomly-earnest 50s-teenager nonsense, with a monster cheap and vague enough to avoid too much dated absurdity, and a fantastically deadpan fireman at the end.
What's Up Tiger Lily (1966)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000056N5U
Random Japanese spy film dubbed with a new script by Woody Allen, comedy English dialogue being impressively closely lip-synched. Proto-MST3K, and much better than the rubbish cover and single backhanded box-quote suggest.
Attack the Gas Station (1999)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00006675D
Four disaffected Korean street-criminals assume vague, hierarchy-altering control of an all-night garage after finding the till empty. Nicely randomly structured, straying only slightly into lunacy.
The Omega Man (1971)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000AISJU
The last gun-toting scientist in the world, versus a horde of Luddite Goth monks. Nicely emptily post-apocalyptic, but it's a bit too black and white and arbitrary, at times. And red all over. Why couldn't they make realistic stage blood in the 70s?
Magnolia (2000)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00004WZW7
"No, it is not dangerous to confuse children with angels." Parallels and coincidences played out across a huge and slow-arcing three hours, threatening to tie it all together but not quite bothering, in the end. Very strong characters, though.
The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra (2001)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00020HAY2
An authentically meandering parody of 50s B-movies, although visually it's all too clean and modern.
How to Get Ahead In Advertising (1989)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00008972W
Very, very weirdly dated; that what might have been biting advertising/pollution monologues in the late eighties just come across as bland and scattershot anti-globalisation vagueness, now, with no great insight. The identity stuff is still good, though.
Akumulator 1 (1994)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109071
TV screens sucking the souls of people who regret their appearances on them; a messy but entertaining build-up to blankly dangerously television sets, and a protagonist ducking and rolling with an armoury of pre-TV-B-Gone remote controls.
Into The Mirror (2003)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0007Q6QYQ/202-4542532-9799808
Supernatural Korean police-procedural, doing a lot of good, subtle things with mirrors, and the patterns-of-repetition context taking the edge off of the character-flashback clichés.
Cypher (2003)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0001B3ZA0
Philip-K-Dick-style unfurling identity thriller which even goes to the trouble of having a Philip-K-Dick-style overblown nonsensical ending. A few nice moments along the way, though, in isolation.
Good Night, and Good Luck (2005)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0433383
Very sharp glimpse of what television meant in the 1950s, and what it could have been, what it was important for it to become. Present-day parallels are a bit heavy-handed, but it still stands up in isolation.
Strangers On A Train (1951)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000056BB2
A spurious "perfect murder" and the brilliant standing-staring stalker who sets it into motion.
