Basics
------
*These are "classics" or "required viewing" movies (that I'm usually surprised if somebody hasn't seen) which I really like... some movies are just pop culture (Star Wars: not the greatest but you're kind of crazy not to watch them), these are also good on their own.*

* Clockwork Orange
* Citizen Kane
* Lawrence of Arabia
* The Birds
* Akira
* Fargo
* Dr. Strangelove
* Schindler's List
* Pulp Fiction
* Run Lola Run
* Blade Runner

Other
-----

 * Beyond the Black Rainbow: This one is pretty weird, culty 70s vibe. Dark
   side of 2001 Space Oddysey aesthetics.
