The Song Remains the Same (1976)
The Greatest Band Ever
I'd feel guilty if I didn't give this film a 10. Just call me prejudice due to my love of the band. The live performance is actually a very good one. Led Zeppelin wasn't always known to be the best live band ever but in my experiences in listening to numerous bootlegs that are circulated so much, this movie performance is very good. The fantasy sequences, though maybe a little cheesy, represent the deep minds of in my opinion, the greatest band ever.
The Wedding Party (1969)
surprisingly, enjoyable early De Niro
Being the first feature film with Robert De Niro (although not released for years later), this is worth the watch. De Niro's role isn't huge, yet amusing as one of two friends who first try to prevent another friends marriage only to later chase him down to force him into it. Any die hard De Niro fan will get a kick out of an early performance by arguably the best actor today.
Carrie (1976)
If more Stephen King films were made this way, the world would be a better place
It's hard to figure out who's more disturbing in this movie. Carrie or her mother. If there was ever a doorway to Hell, it would begin with the front door to Carrie White's house. The one thing this movie taught me about horror movies is to never assume a movie is over until you see the actual credits scrolling across the screen. Also worth the watch for a Vinny Barbarino era John Travolta performance. Probably one of the top five King movies ever made.
The Dead Zone (1983)
Definitely one of the best King adaptions ever
This movie is engrossing from start to finish, and one of the best things about it is that it seems like it's in two parts. First you have the psychic who gets sucked in by the police to help find a brutal killer, and then you have the psychic who takes on a personal mission to save the world from dirty politics. Very powerful performances by both Christopher Walken and Martin Sheen and one of the best Stephen King movies ever.
The Deer Hunter (1978)
De Niro should have won best actor for this before Raging Bull
This is the absolute best De Niro movie ever. And that's hard for me to say being the De Niro fanatic that I am. I have seen every movie ever made by this incredible actor and although many of his performances are wonderful, this is the one that can still bring me to tears every time I watch it. Just try to find a more powerful scene in any movie than the game of russian roulette that these helpless men have to play in that nasty Vietnam War. All in all, Mr. De Niro has never disappointed me, but I would be very surprised if he ever has a better movie than this.
The Blair Witch Project (1999)
Terrifying from beginning to end
This movie is said to be ficticious, but believe me you'll wonder for the rest of your life if that's actually a true statement. The movie's official website tells you much more than the movie about the history of the Blair Witch. Did she really exist? I guess no one will really know. The only thing I can really say about seeing this movie is that I have never before sat in a nicely air conditioned movie theatre with my hands sweating profusely until now.
