Film List for Work

Continuing my quest to work just about every job in every field possible, I recently started working at Bellingham's own holy film mecca "Film is Truth." While I don't know if I'm up to par with the rest of the staff on my classics and all the obscure nooks and crannies of the film world, I think I at least have the chops, willingness and excitement about film to make the cut. Yet, I can't help but feel my employee cork board is going to stick out like a sore thumb, what can I say, I enjoy being entertained. Here's my list.

All Time Favorites:
The Deer Hunter, The French Connection, Taxi Driver, The Evil Dead, Heathers, Aliens, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Shaun of the Dead, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (78’) and Diner

Favorite 80's Action Trash:
Shogun Assassin, Commando, Bloodsport, Cobra, The Road Warrior, They Live, Big Trouble in Little China, Robocop, Beverly Hills Cop and Repo Man

Favorite "Horror" (in need a more clever, less generic, category title)
Near Dark, Dawn of the Dead ('78), Phantasm, Black Christmas ('74), Freaks, Re-Animator, Sleepaway Camp, Suspiria, Scanners and The Thing

and this one i'm still working on...

Best Film Head Trips:
Altered States, El Topo, Eraserhead, Videodrome, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Tokyo Drifer, Jacobs Ladder, Ravenous
