The greatest action film of all time. The gun-fight scenes are incredible. One of the most stylish ways to open an action film I've seen in a long time. Directed by action master John Woo.

This movie is based on the real life relationship between Sex Pistol's bassist and his girlfriend Nancy. Sid & Nancy gives the viewer an unflinching look at the couple's decent into hell when they become hoplessly addicted to heroin among other things.

This ultra-low budget horror film from 1962 is about death and the un-dead. A young girl is in a car accident during a drag race and the car falls into the water. She is the only survivor and is so distressed that she leaves town to work in a church in another city. There is something very wrong though, someone is following her, a mysterious man with a pale white face. Her paranoia slowly causes the young woman to loose control. Who is this man and what does he want? What really happend the day of the crash? The answer awaits you.

This is one of the best horror/gore films of all time. Pretty much the grossest film I've ever seen. And it's directed by Peter Jackson who is better known for the "Lord of the Rings" film trillogy and "Heavenly Creatures."
