Mike S's Top 10 Movies to See Before You Die

If you listened to the Extended Edition of the podcast this week, you would've heard Jay and Shawn mention a couple of movies they feel people should watch before they die.  Well, time for- you guessed it- my top ten movies to see before you die... but with a twist.  Five of them are great movies that sit solidly in "The Good"... and five of them sit either in "The Ugly", or the dumpster next to it... Five Great Movies to See Before You Die: 1.  " The Changeling" (1980) - One of my favorite horror movies.  Stars George C. Scott in a rare role showing vulnerability.  Great cast, great art direction, great camera work- just an all round great movie. 2.  "Hamburger Hill" (1987) -  One of those rare war movies that I really enjoyed- which is actually pretty high praise from me.  Just a phenomenally well crafted and organic movie. 3.  "The Hitcher" (1986)-  Another of my top five horror movies.  Stars Rutger Hauer in a movie t...

Sorry.  This movie brings out the " Mulholland Drive " hate in me. The characters.  The fucking characters.  Just fuck them.  Of the entire cast of about 18 characters, there's only ONE that's likable.  ONE.  The rest?...
