* ''ApocalypseNow'': The most hauntingly beautiful film I've ever seen.
* ''BlackSnakeMoan'': This film brings together two major sources of badassitude in American culture: The Blues, and SamuelLJackson. [[PulpFiction 'THE BLUES, MOTHERFUCKER! DO YOU SING IT?!']]
* ''TheBluesBrothers'': The funniest film I've ever seen. The suits, the lines, the music, the moves... these guys are [[IAmTheTrope coolness incarnate]].

I look like a metalhead, and 90% of the concerts I go to are metal concerts (because almost all non-metal music I listen to was made before 1990, making it less likely that the performers are still touring actively).
