Last movie thread today - I promise

I'm trying to watch all the DVDs that I've bought but have stupidly left to the side because TiVo doesn't like it when I ignore it.

Anyway, I've distracted TiVo enough this week so I'm going to plough through my unwatched DVDs. But I don't want to have a repeat of last night's Ring Two mess, so please pick the best movies out of this list for me to watch:

Audition
Time Bandits
The Decalogue
Killer's Kiss
Startup Dot Com
The Killing
Dangerous Liasons
Lawrence of Arabia
Carry On Screaming
Nil By Mouth
Repo Man
Bubba Ho-Tep
Burn To Shine I (D.C.)
The Big Red One
Der Untergang

I think my first three (from impressions and reviews only) will be Audition, Bubba Ho-Tep and Der Untergang. Please recommend your favourites from the bunch.

Much appreciated...

Time bandits / I love this movie.

Nil by Mouth / Depressing but Brilliant.

I've only seen about 3/4 of these movies. But here's what I think your first 3 should be:

Lawrence of Arabia
This movie won't be as great on the small screen as it is in a theater. But it's the best movie on your list.

Repo Man
You might need to be over 30 to truly appreciate "Repo Man," but anyone who is interested enough in "punk" or "DIY" or "indie" to be on these message boards really has to watch it.

The Big Red One
Is this the "reconstructed" 2-DVD version? Either way, please introduce yourself to the worlds of Samuel Fuller and Lee Marvin ASAP.

Yep, it is! I'm looking forward to this one a lot - the reviews are great.

Thanks all for the suggestions!

Audition

One of those movies that is better to see if you know nothing about it.

And / or The Big Red One, oh yeah.

Undertow (or anything else by David Gordon Green)
Last House on the Left
Breaking the Waves
Medea
The Straight Story
Martin Lawrence Extravaganza

THE DECALOGUE is brilliant, but it's a real emotional roller coaster and a major time commitment to boot. LAWRENCE OF ARABIA is one of the great films of the 1960's, but TV isn't the best place to see it. Me, I'd go with THE KILLING (Kubrick's first really worthwhile film), THE BIG RED ONE (gotta give it up for Sam Fuller) and either REPO MAN or BUBBA HO TEP for fun. Add STARTUP DOT COM if you're into ocumentaries, it's a good one.

The fact that you haven't seen Repo Man makes me sad. So make me happy by watching it! An oddball classic. Nomination for the most quotable film of all time.

Get some Audition down you as well. A great movie.

I vote for The Killing

but then again i'm a kubrik fanatic and havn't seen any of the others.

some of my favorite cinematography is in that one.
