Cruel Gun Story (1964)
Hardboiled Japanese heist flick in which a newly released convict is recruited by the mob to steal the takings from a racetrack. Naturally, everything goes to shit. Recommended for fans of Kubrick's THE KILLING.
Directed by Takumi Furukawa
Starring Joe Shishido

A touching portrait of a dying small-town hairdresser that brings to mind Chaplin in its deft mix of comedy and pathos. Kier is truly remarkable in the lead role, hilarious and more flamboyant than a 30-foot Christmas tree without ever hiding the pain, physical and emotional, his character is in.

Deadbeat at Dawn (1988)
Jaw-dropping revenge flick in which a gang member discovers it's not so easy to leave the criminal underworld behind. A model of how to get the most out of every last cent when working with a micro budget.

Everything about this is GOLD, from the set-up, to the direction, to the energy that you can feel resonate from the celluloid, to Elisha Cook Jr.'s expression which is frankly, unsettling.
