In true High Fidelity style: Top Five Films people have never seen. No AFI Top 100 allowed. No Citizen Kane, Seven Samurai, Godfather, The Searchers or The Wild Bunch etc., but the other amazing films you assume people have never seen. Dig deep! I hope to send some folks to Netflix/Blockbuster.

Great Dylan album/soundtrack, too. Let’s not forget that he wrote “Knockin’ On Heaven’s” Door for the film!
That’s right! I might have to fire that one up today, it has been about a year since I last watched it. (We’re talking about Pat Garret and Billy The Kid)
I’d like to add “Game Over: Kasparov and the Machine”. A documentary about Gary Kasparov’s chess match with the IBM computer Deep Blue. An absolutely fascinating film – not just about chess or computers.
