I'm not sure if it's actually the best—it might just be my absolute favorite—but What's a man without a mustache?

There are plenty of good and even great ones out there, but these three are absolute classics... I haven't actually sat down to watch a few of the others you mentioned (warrior time, the guardhouse, Son of Nobody, and a couple of those other titles)
So, just curious—how much of an American film is the guardhouse, really?

Look, there are some good American movies out there—it's just that you can basically count them on one hand.

It’s gotta be Rider. Seriously, an absolute gem of a movie, right up there with the best stuff coming out of Hollywood.

Look, Guardhouse is an American film. Period. The director is American, the screenwriters are American, the lead actor is American, the cinematographer is American...

That one happens to be my favorite too, I guess.👍

rider, when dead sing, Is it clear, my friend, that Anthony is heading back home. In absolute terms.
By American standards—think something like the Atlantic or what defines a man without a mustache, Sorry for Kung Fu, Queen of the Night.
If we're looking at '89, then it's just like Trejo already said: "A diploma for death." Put it at the top of the list.

Great question.

The final dead girl and the marshal.
Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to watch Warrior Time yet, but after seeing this thread, it’s definitely moving to the top of my list. 🙂

Thank God it wasn't anything worse, and honestly, it's a bit of a bummer that it isn't a feature film, but whatever. Though, I wonder if Mirta considers studying statistics part of her American education or just general coursework.

Under the American system, obviously.
EDIT:
split night and Mirta studies statistics (forgot about him), 😁

My bad, I phrased that poorly—I meant before or after the 90s 😬 It’s such a brilliant, sharp, and funny movie; it's just a shame the kamikaze stuff isn't really my thing.

Just finished watching Mia teaches statistics. It’s original and charming enough—I don't have any real complaints... but I still think Bruce Lee holds the throne.
Now I just need to get around to catching Warrior Time 🙂
