Cenobite threw down the gauntlet and I've accepted the challenge. I'm not going to give you the complete tour of my DVD shelves though, just a representative sampling. As usual there's no orfer of preference here. Just the way they popped into my head.
Story of the real life emperor who rose to power and gave it up to spread the word of Buddha. But it's Bollywood folks. Shah Ruhk Khan
See the full review, "Hooray for Bollywood!".
Ok, let's have a look see here. Videodrome, Evil Dead2, Henry, Night Of The Living Dead, Cemetery Man, Flesh Gordon, El Norte, Eating Raoul, Donnie Darko, Strictly Ballroom, & A History Of Violence I own. Have seen Black Stallion, Wizard of Oz, & Dick. Hmm, ok. I'm terrible with math. That's more than a fourth of your list. I shouldn't drink so early in the morning. ;-)
