If You Like Movies...

You're in luck this weekend since Hulu is offering the Criterion series of classic movies for free.

Pretty much any of their movies are worth watching but if you're unsure of where to start I'd recommend one the following:

The Seven Samurai - 3 hours long but a classic. There's a reason this movie has inspired and been copied by so many other directors.

Solaris - A classic sci-fi movie about a scientist sent to a space station where the crew has been slowly going insane. Still better than the 2002 Clooney/Soderbergh remake.

La Jetée - A time travelling tale about a slave from the future that the movie 12 Monkeys was based on.

The Hidden Fortress - A Japanese movie about a fleeing princess and general, hidden gold, and two bumbling peasants that was a direct inspiration for George Lucas' Star Wars. It's enjoyable in its own right but even better as you recognize all the parts that later appeared in Star Wars.
