Fortress and Cat O' Nine Tails.
When I first saw Fortress,
I was expecting something grittier and tougher, ala ''The Escape From NY of the 90's''.
But I've learned to appreciate it, and I currently have it ranked #5 on my all-time list.
It has such a polished look to it, Lambert's character is infinitely unselfish, and the scenes with his wife are simply memorable.
7/10
I think Nine Tails highly raised my expectation with it's title alone, especially since it's a 70's release.
The picture/dubbing are bland and, like most giallos, is deliberately-paced.
But I've developed an appreciation for it over the years, as it has it's moments,
the performances are satisfactory, and the blonde has a good-sized tank for a skinny dame.

Donnie Darko - Hated it when I first saw it. I probably just didn't get it.
Dracula '31 - I'm not gonna lie. It's pretty boring. However, it's also equally fascinating in a cultural sense.
Trash Humpers - Harmony Korine's video documentary about evil old fucks. I never made it past 20 minutes on at least 2 attempts, then I got really high. Immediately, I learned to appreciate it. That goes for most all of Harmony Korine's work. It pisses you off at first, but then you fall in a deep, sexual relationship with it until you too tape bacon to your bathroom wall.
