18
The Prestige (2006,  PG-13)
The Prestige
Wow!
This movie just got better and better! While it seems simple, the potentials really make you think and realize that it is more complex than it first seems. You really have to pay attention to what is happening, not just to integrate the scenario, but to get at all the movie is attempting to portray about human relationship, about Truth and the nature of manipulation, about wonder and sacrifice. An amazing movie remeniscient of an Oscar Wilde novel.

29
El Laberinto del Fauno (Pan's Labyrinth) (2006,  R)
El Laberinto del Fauno (Pan's Labyrinth)
This is a fairy tale not for young children. Instead it is a dark, wonderful and tragic adult fairytale paralleling the imagination of a young girl with a dark reality. Beautifully crafted!!! Somewhat 'Burton-esque' at times.
30

34
Devdas (2002,  Unrated)
Devdas
WOW! The most richly ornate, colourful and glittering movie I have EVER SEEN! AMAZING! The dancing, music, singing and filming are superb. The costume and sets are BEAUTIFUL!! It is a long romantic overdrama with much eye candy. I'm convinced Aishwarya is the most beautiful woman in the world! The overdrama tempts me to make this 41/2 stars but, it also adds to its charm! So passionate! I am amazed at the care for each and every shot taken and the aesthetic richness is like my dreams, so this goes fully 5 stars!
35
Miss Potter (2007,  PG)

Becoming Jane
Absolutely wonderful!!!! :D I am buying this when it comes out :D Inspiring, well acted, a great story much like Jane's books :)
43
Marnie (1964,  PG)
Marnie
Absolutely EXCELLENT! A psychoanalytical taming of the shrew with an amazing cast! Tippi is an absolute vixon at playing a woman who is tormented by an unconscious past, acting out in many antisocial ways. FABULOUS! Sean Connery does an amazing job as the man who falls in love with her and will do what he can to help her deal with her neurosis and get out of trouble with the law.
An excellent story and script, well fimed and executed in every way! the special features are also fabulous! :D
44
The Apartment (1960,  Unrated)
The Apartment
An excellent plot! :) Both Lemon and McLaine shine out wonderfully in this sometimes quirky film that is actually steeped in adultery. Two genuine personalities are stamped down by dominating, demoralizing, womanizing buisnessmen at a large firm. Out of the well drawn plot of downward twists blossoms a charming little romance. A must see, it is really that good! :)
45
Across the Universe (2007,  PG-13)
Across the Universe

Murder, My Sweet (1944,  Unrated)
Murder, My Sweet
One of the most classic of film noir movies i have seen!! :) Quite entertaining!
48
Chaplin (1992,  PG-13)
Chaplin
Excellent! :D An awesome cast and an excellent story! :) Robert Downey Jr. is awesome at playing Chaplin. While this is a great movie based on Chaplin's autobiography, I felt it was missing some of the deeper parts of Chaplin. He was a producer and director of his own films as well! While it is clear he is more than his slapstick character, I am intruiged at the purposes behind his ideas for his films which I felt this film only touched on briefly. But, I will guess I will have to watch his films to get more of an insight into that.
49
Chinatown (1974,  R)
Chinatown
Jack Nicholson is excellent in this 30s style murder mystery. Some great lines, a demure and classy lead lady and a plot that thickens.
50
Flesh and the Devil (1926,  Unrated)
Flesh and the Devil
A bit overly dramatic plotwise but there were times I could not look away for fear of missing something. Classic b&w with some REALLY well filmed scenes that will stay in your mind.
51
Little Women (1949,  Unrated)
Little Women
My favourite story of all time!!! :D
52
Adaptation (2002,  R)
Adaptation
Wow! What a diverse, original and empathetic piece of work! I can see how this is not for everyone, but I certainly enjoyed how it mixed genres, made you wonder, had a fictional climax that kept you thrilled and still remained touching in its realistic side of subject matter.
53
Alien (1979,  R)
Alien
My mom LOVES this movie ;)

62
Lars and the Real Girl (2007,  PG-13)
Lars and the Real Girl
Despite the fact that this looks like my boyfriend's movie.... (the one he was planning on making the year this one was filmed and he lives in Toronto where this movie was filmed out of ... ) I liked this film. Perhaps it was merely conincedance that two movies had the same idea for a main plot. Regardless, this movie was nominated for best, most original, screen play at the oscars!!
I have to say that it was well written, well acted and well made in every way. I love this movie...
63
Australia (2008,  PG-13)
Australia
Yay! This did not dissappoint! :) I LOVED IT!! I cried so much! LOL

YES!!! A Baz Luhrmann film with Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman!!! I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
64
Saawariya (2007,  PG)
Saawariya
This has become one of my favourite movies! It is an unrequited love story based on Dovsteovsky's "White Night". Very attractive leads with so much talent! Beautiful singing and music set amidst a spectacular set! Every scene is ripe with atmosphere and stunning parisian style, emo, and glowing night scenes. Very romantic and tragic love story, definately worth seeing!!
65

LOVED this movie!
67
Reign Over Me (2007,  R)
Reign Over Me
Wow! This movie was such a wonderful exploration of dealing with grief! So touching. I highly recommend it, because we all have to deal with grief at some point.
The blend of comedy with grief may seem odd, but it was this characters way of being able to communicate through grief, so though it may seem that Adam Sandler is not being true to the character, that is not the case. Have you never laughed when you should cry because something is so incredulous?
People who think that this movie is not congruent should come back to this movie later on and see if they feel the same way. Tell me a movie that has done better at showing the disabling affects of grief in a way that is not overbearingly depressive and yet still real.
