When Kevin Alexander messaged me about assembling his own 13 Films list, I was excited. During the Spielberg Bracket Challenge, Kevin was one of the most vocal and ardent participants. We chatted about his love for the early Spielberg classic Duel, and marveled at the impact Spielberg had made on our collective culture, and on Gen X, in particular.

Kevin writes incredibly well about music, and had much to say on the Spielberg discussion, so it was a surprise to see him confess at the top of his piece that he is “not a movie guy”.

Despite that claim, this list of 13 Films is a fascinating window in to the cultural mind of Kevin Alexander. It’s an eclectic list of old standards and hidden favorites that proves that even if Kevin isn’t a movie guy, he can still write like one.

Without further hubbub, here is Kevin’s list. Enjoy.

Cheers,
Matty C
