1. 'hoop dreams' (which i just saw for the first time today)

2. 'jules & jim'

3. 'grey gardens'

4. 'vertigo'

5. 'magnolia'

1. Repulsion, which led me to watch:

2. Knife in the Water

3. Man Behind the Sun (thought about starting a thread about this one, not sure if a lot of people here will have seen it though)

4. Bloodsucking Freaks

5. Straw Dogs

What put Knife in the Water over the top for me was the... how should I put this... eroticism. When you first see the woman, I kind of thought "She really doesn't look that good. I don't know if I can buy these guys fighting over her for the rest of the movie." But she was, subtle enough that I didn't notice at first, becoming more and more desirable as the tension between the two guys increased.

I didn't know how it was going to end up (I figured maybe there would be a stabbing... probably what I was supposed to think), but I knew the woman would be at the center. I don't know if she was actually changing or it seemed that way because I was buying into the guys' competition, but the two were complimenting each other, by the end creating a very thick sexual tension, the pay off to which was quite satisying, in an indulgent kind of way. The film was begging for a sharp sexual realease. So yeah, real nice build of sexual tension, that's what made it for me.
