My Favorite Movies
| agordon3's Rating | My Rating | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Spirited Away (Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi) (2001, PG)
Unforgettable characters; an original plot. Visual masterpiece. What more do you want? Extremely enjoyable. |
|
| 2 |
Snatch (2001, R)
Guns; violence; cussing; Brits. What more do you want in a comedy? Unforgettable roles, and an even funnier unforgettable plot. What's not to love? In other words, this is easily my love-child with Guy Richie. |
|
| 3 |
Interview with the Vampire (1994, R)
Blood-sucking, semi-androgynous, and - let's face it, slashy - eye candy. Don't be greedy. Run with it. |
|
| 4 |
Edward Scissorhands (1990, PG-13)
Endearing. |
|
| 5 |
The Boondock Saints (1999, R)
Kiss me, I'm Irish! |
|
| 6 |
American History X (1998, R)
Initially, I was reluctant to see it, but boy, am I glad I did. Stark, gritty, and brilliant. Almost a 'coming-of-age' if Edward Norton weren't already in his prime. |

Worth a look-see. |
|
| 124 |
