Three O'Clock High is such a cool under-rated comedy. Great use of the clock motif.

You can't buy it anywhere on VHS and it's not released on DVD i had to rent a copy and fail to turn it in. I have a good friend who says great art is when a scene, image, line stays with you forever. I agree look for films that haunt your memories.

Like the look Elias gives Barnes just before Barnes shoots him in Platoon.

I also agree that you need to find movies that are driven by characters and the script. You're not going to have a ton of money anyway to start. I think the AFI 100 is fairly off the mark. It's not a bad idea though to watch the AFI 100 and figure out why they ended up there.

On the line of don't watch anything by Kevin Smith i'd say don't watch anything with Robin Williams in it.

Oh and watch Blood Simple and Raising Arizona the Brothers C. rock!
