Buckaroo Banzai is one of my all-time favorites. It is the quintessential New Wave film, featuring John Lithgow’s most unhinged performance - “Laugh while you can, monkey boy!”
Also “No matter where you go, there you are.”

+1 for Dead Alive

The largest volume of fake blood in all movie history. It always shocked me that Peter Jackson was ever considered to do LotR, since I was quite familiar with all of his previous work. I remember nearly falling over when I heard the announcement and let me tell you, the images in my head at that point were NOT what we got in the theaters!

Trust me, as a Dead Alive fan I had the exact same thoughts.

Big Trouble counts as one of the greatest movies of all time. :)

Big trouble and buckaroo bonsai are two of my favorites.

I had a friend in college who was so proud of his VHS of UHF. Solid choice.
Repo Man is also a solid, underrated choice.

I have a collector’s edition DVD of Repo Man that came in a metal tin shaped like a license plate

Used to love watching Moviedrome, where Repo Man’s director Alex Cox would introduce some amazing cult films and what he loved about them.
