American Pimp Dir Albert Hughes, Allen Hughes, USA, 1999.

Dellamorte Dellamore Dir Michele Soavi, Italy, France, Germany, 1994.
Francesco Dellamorte is the hermit-like caretaker of a cemetery in a small Italian town who whiles away the hours reading outdated telephone directories only to cross out the names of the dead, ever-ready to protect the town from zombie insurgence.

Lady Snowblood: Blizzard from the Netherworld Dir Toshiya Fujita, Japan, 1973.
The Japanese blood-splattered revenge saga that provided the inspiration (thematically and structurally) for Quentin Tarantino’s

In her tortoiseshell specs and purple lip-gloss, she and best friend Rebecca like nothing better than to vent their wisecracking contempt for the conformity all around them. What makes the film special is how it relishes adolescent rebellion but doesn’t stop there.
