Meme! Post 10 CRUCIAL CRUCIAL CRUCIAL-ASS movies, like the movies that explain everything about yourselves in your current incarnations (not necessarily your ten favorite movies but the ten movies that you, as a person existing currently, feel would help people get to know you) (they can change later on obviously).
1. Kill Bill. As far as I'm concerned THIS is Tarantino's opus. A bloody tale of revenge with the most dangerous being on Earth--an angry mother.
2. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Hunter S. Thompson's savage journey into the heart of the American Dream brought to life, what the good Doctor himself described as an "eerie trumpet call over a lost battlefield."
3. Head. I've had the privilege of hugging on half the Monkees, but this movie was the thing that finally destroyed the cuddly image but showed that nothing can destroy the attraction.
4. Yojimbo. Toshiro Mifune as the original Man With No Name. A master samurai playing a town like a violin.
5. Apocalypse Now. One of the darkest films I've ever seen, one that haunts me, one I keep coming back to (and one I watched while completely whacked out of my head--something I've seen warnings NOT to do).
6. The Kids Are Alright. Not a traditional film-film, but it's ninety glorious minutes of the greatest live band on earth.
7. The Poseidon Adventure. You can keep Titanic, with its romance and angst and king of the world and hoo-hah. I'll take my ships upside down.
8. Predators. I've been watching Predators and Aliens since I was a little kid, and over the years I've gradually lost my sympathy for the human characters, and started rooting for the Predators.
9. Hook. Kind of the odd film in the list, but for some reason unknown to me even to this day, twenty-four years later, this film grabbed my imagination and kick-started the nascent writer in me. I haven't stopped writing since.
10. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. My first foursome (get your minds out of the gutter). The first group of four guys who took over my life, who jump-started my lifelong interest in the martial arts.
