Any Kurosawa movie is good. Hidden Fortress on the basis of its Star Wars influences (GL used it again for TPM) and Yojimbo for its influence on For a Few Dollars More (or is it Fistful of Dollars? I always get them muddled up) are the easy choices.

But I think Sanjuro has a lot to offer and High And Low is good too.

Continuing the classics theme, I'd suggest Spartacus - a Kubrick film like no other.

Rashomon and SS are my go to favorites but I like Ran, Yojimbo and Throne of Blood quite a bit.  Also some of his earlier, non Samurai stuff is great too.  Sanshiro Sugata, Shubun,  and No Regrets for Our Youth, which in and of itself is a forgotten little gem, hold up quite well. 

I personally never got much into Spagetti Westerns, as I always learned more towards Peckinpah than Sergio Leone, (although Once Upon a Time in America is one of my favorite films of all time with the single saddest post production hack job, ever).  I see the value in them.

For Kubrick it makes perfect sense for our next one to be Dr. Strangelove since we all, well, love it.  But I would totally be down for The Shining, as well.  It goes without saying that as a DiF reservist I suggest movies at the leisure of the main four.

Ha!  Nice!  There's a photo or two of me driving that fucker around.  My favorite feature was that you could reduce or increase the tire pressure WHILE DRIVING IT. 

If a HumVee can be used for Civvy use, so should that.

Has anybody suggested "Pitch Black" yet?

You just did.  And it was AWESOME.

We've recorded Alien 3 and we make reference to that being very similar to Pitch Black.  I'd like to do more underrated Sci Fi.  Moon, Sunshine, The Fountain, etc. 

Another thing Trey and I have talked about is doing more classic cinema.  I was raised on 40's Noir, 50's Sci Fi,  60's samurai classics, 70's Kung Fu movies, and 80's Fuck Yeah crap movies.  My DVD/Blu Ray collection reflects this...and it waits.   Oh....it waits.

I would be very much down for a calender.   

I'm curious what people think of our opinion of the movie.  Matt and I did wax nostalgic about the Army, sure, but I think we landed on a solid critique of the movie and I'd like to know what our listeners think about the film.
