A Chamber Piece is a play or film with a small cast and one location. The archetypal Dramatic Chamber Piece is Agatha Christie’s Ten Little Indians.
5. Clerks –Filmed on a budged of maxed out credit cards. Whatever else, Kevin Smith has onions.
4. Hard Candy –Patrick Wilson is in a lot of movies where men get naked and castrated…. Just sayin’.
3. Lifeboat –I’m always bothered that they kill the second German Guy at the end. And I’m always bothered that no one makes a big deal about that.
2. 12 Angry Men –It’s a good title, but really some of those guys aren’t that angry. For accuracy’s sake it should be 9 angry men, 2 slightly pissed dudes, and one guy who seems fairly happy.
1. The Breakfast Club –There are two kinds of people in the world. People who believe Bender and Claire are still together on Monday and every other Monday forever, and unromantic cynics like my wife.
Honorable Mention: The Hateful Eight, Reservoir Dogs, and Freezer.
