## Movie list

Put your :+1: behind movies you'd like to see.
I'd combine 2 short movies per session with a reasonable break in between.

*FORMAT: - **NAME** (RUNTIME, GENRES, LANGUAGE if not english) :+1::+1:* and link to IMDB

### Funny/Weird/Short movies

- OSS117

- [**Army of Darkness** (81m, dark fantasy comedy horror)](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106308/)
Actually the Sequel to Evil Dead II. Less splatter-y then Evil Dead II. Fun Fact, Peter Jackson stated this movie as one of the many inspirations for his "Lord of The Rings" Trilogy :-)

- [**Kung Fury** (31m, martial arts action comedy short)](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3472226/)
- [**Tremors** (96m, horror comedy)](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100814/)
- [**Double King** (10m, animation fantasy short)](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7189380/)
- [**Sharknado** (86m, horror action comedy)](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2724064/) :+1:
- From Dusk Till Dawn
Two Robbers on the run try to make their way to Mexico, by kidnapping a family on vacation. Also: Vampires. Directed by Robert Rodrigues, written by Quentin Tarantino. Its a good movie, really.

- True Romance. :+1:
Gangster movie RomCom written by Quentin Tarantino and directed by Tony Scott.
- Eraserhead
David Lynch. Need I say more.
- Shoot 'Em Up:+1:
Fun little Actionflick. Paper-thin story, which basically only exists to propel the movie from one wild action scene to the next.But the movie is pretty selfaware about this.
- The Raid
A Swat Team enters the lair of a drug kingping, but finds itself trapped, with no way to exit the building. One of the more gruelling action flicks from indonesia, but pretty good!
- Dredd:+1:
Basically "The Raid", but as an Adaption of "Judge Dredd".

### Recommended

- Ghost in the Shell ORIGINAL! :+1:
- The **Blood and Ice Cream trilogy**, AKA **Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy** :+1: :+1: (The real good stuff)

- Prison Drama based on a Stephen King short story. It ranks as #1 on the IMDBs Top 100.
- Rubber :+1:
- An old tire comes to life in the midst of the desert and falls in love with a young woman. Upon discovering its telekinetic abilities, it goes on a killing spree. If you think, you know what to expect now, rest assured. You don't. Very Meta.
- Palm Springs
- Basically "GroundHog Day", but with a few twists. Fun little movie.
- 12 Angry Men
- 12 Jurors are locked in a room and have to decided whether or not the Accused in an alleged murder case is guilty or not. Absolute master piece.

- The Third Man
- Dollar Trilogy
- For a fistful of Dollars
- For a few Dollars more
- The good, the bad and the Ugly

- Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure
*TimeTravel Extravaganza. School Buddies Bill and Ted travel through Time, to prepare for a History exam, that will not only save them from failing school, but will also unify humanity. Silly, but charming little movie starring a young Keanu Reeves as Ted.*

*Almost a Ghibli movie though produced right before it's foundation. A young woman trying to save her home from the fungal infection that has spread across the world discovers a deeper truth behind it.*
