A-Z Movie List

Recommended Posts

A little bit ago, I had the idea of creating an A To Z list of movies. The challenge is to have the best representation of movies across the board (genre-wise as well as other things) with one for each letter.

Arachnophobia
Brain Candy
Cube
Donnie Darko
The Empire Strikes Back
Fargo
The Godfather
Help!
Iron Giant
Jacob's Ladder
Kung Fu Hustle
LOTR Extended Trilogy
A Mighty Wind
Night of the Living Dead
Office Space
pi
Quiz Show
Real Genius
Saving Grace
Tapeheads
U-Turn
Very Bad Things
What Dreams May Come
X-Men 2
Yes: Live in Philadelphia 1979
Zorro, the Gay Blade

I'd switch one out if I found another movie that was more accessible or better representative of a genre. Another thing to keep in mind is if a particular genre or era is represented well enough already (for example, it'd be great if I could whittle down the "irreverent comedy" to make room for a romantic comedy or slasher). So, any suggestions?

Asphalt Jungle / Akira / Apocalypse Now
Big Lebowski, The / Battle Royale / Big Blue, The / Blues Brothers, The / Boot, Das
City of Lost Children, The
Day The Earth Stood Still, The / Dawn of the Dead (original)
Empire Strikes Back, The / Evil Dead II
Fargo / Full Metal Jacket
Gattaca / Ghostbusters
Halloween / Heat
Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark ( actually an "R" :-)
Jacob's Ladder / Jaws
Killer, The
Lola Rennet
Mary Poppins
Narc
O
Pulp Fiction
Q
Ronin
Seven Samurai / Shining, The
Two Thousand and One, a Space Odyssey
Usual Suspects, The
V
War Games

as you can see i'm skewed dramatically towards the start of the alphabet.

Ah, I love that movie.

-What's out there?
-Boundless ... human ... stupidity.
-I can live with that.

I thought the second one was a little over the top, though.

Overrated because it got people listening to Cash? Maybe as a movie, yes, but hell, I don't mind Johnny Cash getting more popular because of it.

I thought his cover of Hurt did that.
At any rate, he doesn't need to cover modern bands for the appeal of songs like Long Black Veil to be apparent.
