Foreign Minister's movie list.

It was hard narrowing the list of movies that I like to 10 or less, so I didn't. I figured that this would be my desert island DVD collection if stranded on a desert Island with a wide screen plasma TV and a DVD player. I have provided links to Amazon if you are curious enough to check them out further.

He she goes...
To Catch a thief My all time favorite movie. Grace Kelly IMHO was the hottest babe to ever be on the silver screen.

Strange Days "Futuristic" (set at the 1999-2000 new year) movie with some really cool technology. Raph Finnes is the lead

Blade Runner This is how I envision the "future" to be... not the replicants exactly but the "enviroment" of the setting.

Ice Pirates Made in 1984 a comedy sci-fi movie that makes me chukkle just thinking about it!

Pulp Fiction Hey can I give you a foot massage?

Brazil Dark Comedy from a member of the Python Troupe

City of Lost Children Neat French film about a man who steals the dreams of Children. Cool Visuals

Mad Max and the Road Warrior What is not to like about this Post Apocalyptic movie?

Body Double Met the lead actor in a bar once.... cool movie

The Duelist Riddley Scott's early period piece film set in Napoleonic wars. Cool to watch fashions change as these two calvalry officers go at each other through the various campaigns

The Wild Bunch Sam Peckinpah created the slow motion violence genre and generally uped the violence ante with this western Gem. I think it is the Best Western of ALL time. Set at the end of the Cowboy era in 1913(?) Cant say enough about it!

Cross of Iron IMHO the best WW2 movie ever. Same director as Wild Bunch (Sam Peckinpah ) lots of slow motion violence and is pretty authentic as far as props and uniforms go. The worst thing is everybody in the movie has a 1970's haircut.

Repo Man Emilio Esevez stars in this wacky dark comedy (complete with Aliens, and Cross Dressing John Wayne)

Caligula (not rated version) When in Rome... do as Caligula!

12 Monkeys
Ironically I am not a big fan of Bruce W but he is the lead in this movie (along with Brad P) Futuristic world gone wrong movie.

The Toxic Avenger *snicker Snicker* you mean you haven't seen this?

Fight Club While I am not a Brad P fan either, here he is again in what I think is a very interesting movie.

The Adventures of Baron Munchausen This movie is another hoot from the Monty Python alumni. I once read that the Nazis made a version of this film late in WW2. Hard to believe the walls were crumbling around them and they had time to make an epic film (this link is not to the Nazi version)

Clerks Never heard of Snowballing till I saw this movie.... I guess it was educational.

The Usual Suspects IF it shows up on all of our lists it must be good!

Galaxy Quest Tim Allen did a great job in this....

Amadeus This is the kind of movie that made me get a DVD player. Ironically, i don't have it in my collection yet but this is one that I would take to a desert Island with me.

Field of Dreams Strangely, I stayed glued to the screen whenever this comes on. I am not a Kevin C fan (or a big baseball fan for that matter) but this movie gets me.

And lastly... some PORN
I saw Bad Girls III in college and visions of it still dance in my head. Sadly it is not available anymore as it had Tracy Lords who was like 17 at the time (unbeknownst the the Porn Industry or Feds). So I guess I will take a classic like Devil in Mrs Jones

Back to the Trenches...

the FM


Update from Maximum Leader: I believe that the WW2 Baron Munchausen was produced in 1943 (and in colour from what I understand). Here is the first link I could find for the version the Foreign Minister is speaking about. At some point in the mid-1990s there was some company that was releasing this film along with Olympia and Triumph of the Will... But I can't find them any more...
