Glen or Glenda (1953)
surrealism on the hoof
It's beautiful--a better surrealist film than Blood of a Poet. This movie sends normal filmic logic down on its knees screaming with what Tom Wolfe would call "a great barbaric YAWP! at the skies!" Also note Bela Lugosi's passionate performance. Pull the string!
Rushmore (1998)
Hosanna!
A movie that makes you realize what dull predictable formula pap so many are nowadays. Rushmore will keep you guessing what the fate of these likeable (!) human (!) characters will turn out to be. It is truly hilarious without making the characters seem like marionettes playing out gags.
And Bill Murray is the king of 'em all, y'all.
The World's Greatest Sinner (1962)
You want conceptual bravura? You got it!
If only because Tim Carey made this film nearly single-handedly on and off over three years, it would merit study. But The World's Greatest Sinner has so much more than that to recommend it! How can you fault a film about an insurance salesman who quits his job to become a rock star, changes his first name to "God", and run for President?
