7. Kung Fu Hustle: a love letter to classic martial arts films in a Cartoon Physics envelope. A dynamic, memorable mix of action and physical comedy. What I like most is that the martial masters still act like real people, instead of like mystical sages. #filmsky #moviesky

6. Pleasantville starts in black and white then blossoms into a full color visual metaphor about the transformative power of self discovery and change. It was also my first time seeing Tobey Maguire outside of Spider-Man. I remember thinking, hey, not bad Tobey. #filmsky #moviesky

5. The Treasure of the Sierra Madre is a downward spiral into greed and paranoia. We follow a pair of prospectors whose greatest threat is one another in a now classic story of "cursed fortune". For fans of adventure with a dark edge, and fans of Bogart. #filmsky #moviesky

4. The Fall tells its story through a frame narrative, the story we see as the audience and the story one of the characters tells to another. It's also a visual feast and an emotional journey for fans of near fantasy. #filmsky #moviesky

Have found great titles from this, excited to read more of them. As for my 4 picks for my #comicsdna I thought back to those which hit hard and stuck with me through the many years. Those who know me can probably see these when they look in my eyes.

3. Cats Don't Dance is a jazz infused animated musical about chasing big dreams even when the odds are stacked against you. It's also about the grit needed to overcome institutional bigotry and prejudice. Did you know Scott Bakula could sing like this? #filmsky #moviesky

2. Primer is as lean, tight ride in and out of the Gordian knot of time travel mechanics. This is a movie that rewards repeat viewings, and fits in your queue if you like your sci-fi rigorous. #filmsky #moviesky

1. Blue Ruin shows us the quiet desperation of a regular person wounded by their trauma and driven to respond in kind. A 90 minute object lesson in the form of a vengeance story that takes familiar themes of cyclical violence and delivers it to you neat, no filler. Recommended for fans of suspense

I don't have many followers and may never but I like the idea so I'll post it and revisit it over time
