Eraserhead (1977)

Honestly, I am not sure if I like this or not. I felt that it was weird for the sake of it during most of the film's duration, but its bizarre ending and many, many, strikingly well composed shots keep bringing me back to it. Its imagery and sparse dialogue left impressions, I guess, in me that need to be filled with some explanation. It was the kind of film that left you wanting to be satisfied with it, however it needs active input from you to complete it. Not for everyone, sure, but worth it if you can stand it.

The 39 Steps (1935)

Sandwiched between the somewhat interesting moments of drama come the occasional moment of suspense. These are the moments that allow this film to breathe. These are what we live for in this flick. The moments between often drag, but they are worth it to set up the required drama which ultimately pushes this film into an upper echelon.

In the final thirty minutes, everything, every moment of the film folds over and wraps itself up so neatly and concisely that the final reveal in practically the last few minutes are the icing on the cake. Stick with it, it pays off.
