The Graduate

First to recommend

11 people recommended this item

Description

Well, you can't beat the soundtrack - and the rest...it's just sheer movie making genius. This is a film I have to watch at least once a year - it's like therapy (and great fashion inspiration!) The Graduate is another timeless classic - it's American satire, 20's angst, and a twisted love story wrapped into a perfectly executed film, with themes as true today as they were back then.

Old School (Widescreen Unrated Edition)

Description

No matter how ridiculous it is, I still crack up every time I see this film. Once it hits the lips, it feels so good. It has to be the legendary college movie of our time.

Dazed and Confused - The Criterion Collection

First to recommend

Description

Alright, alright, alright. It's Dazed and Confused and it's easily one of the funnier films of the 90s. Immediately after its release, it was an instant cult favorite and leaves me (and others alike) religiously quoting the film.

This Criterion release has a ridiculous amount of extras, including a 50-minute documentary about the making of the film, commentary, trailers, deleted scenes and lots more.

Rushmore: Wes Anderson (The Criterion Collection)

First to recommend

Description

If you haven't seen this film, stop what you're doing immediately, find the closest Best Buy, purchase it, watch it and have your life transformed. I may sound over dramatic, but I really love this movie and I think you will too. The Criterion Collection features beaucoups of extras. So, get excited.

Description

Nothing more than a silly, low brow college comedy that leaves me laughing the entire. This is perfect college humor.

As a born and raised Notre Dame fan, loving this movie isn't even a choice. It's a necessity. However, that doesn't discount the brilliant true story and spectacularly moving film.

Napoleon Dynamite

Napoleon Dynamite was such a breakout hit. It started a whole new Nerd Revolution of it's own. It's one of my favorite movies. It's just fun and the characters are amazing. Vote For Pedro!

Mr. Holland's Opus

First to recommend

Description

It's the type of movie that will make a grown man cry, but he'll be okay with it. Mr. Hollands Opus is the story of a teacher we all wish we had. It's about doing whats right and, ultimately, about doing what is good.

Good Will Hunting (Miramax Collector's Series)

Description

An exciting, intelligent and witty film. Good Will Hunting is smart and touching. The love arch is honest and the friendly relationships are endearing. Not to mention, it was the break out film for Ben Affleck and Matt Damon.
