My Favorite Movies

This could be the start of a beautiful friendship... Witty, intense, self-sacrificial, what more could a classic love story ask for

Music, Melancholy, Art Deco, and a whole lot of humor thrown in too. Morricone & Roth are geniuses

Remember, Red, Hope is a Very good thing... and this movie gives you plenty

It's a little bit funny... Come what may, I will rewatch this... until my croaking day...

Priesner & Kieslowski's best -- my introduction into the world of euro-arthouse, and i've never looked back. The stirring theme symphony grows on you

Haunting melody, alternate lifestyles, a heart-wrenching movie about difficult choices amid difficult times -- and the price of not choosing

Colorful, Tuneful, Breathtaking -- especially if you too are drawn into singing-along to this whole movie

Best anime of all time, period. Prepare the tissues

brill parody of all martial arts flicks out there. I especially loved the prison and attendant rhinos. you'll laugh twice as loud if you know cantonese

Post-apocalyptic compacted trash cast away meets his eeeva. I've never experienced a movie with so little dialog that said so much. Wall-E is not to be forgotten for centuries! 7, at least!

every teenage boys' fantasy

Like Gustave's this beautufully rendered tail deserves a Michelin 5-star ratating... Definitely best show I've watched this year, with all the rat elements of family squibbles, action/adventure, suspense, humor, and perhaps too happy an ending, but hey, don't we wish all parisian romances had it?

half knee-slapper, half tear-jerker, this beautifully paced movie brings out the best father in us

One of the funniest bizarre comedies ever. What is a whale doing in the middle of the Alps? What good is a tennis court built on a slope? What if Aladdin's genie were female and would only grant each villager one wish? What would yours be? All these, and more, and hilariously played out in this Austrian Wunderbar-land!

(building &) mindblowing...

This classic make even the sands of the sahara and reading Herodotus sexy, and that's not mentioning the cute opiate-administering nurse

One more, one more...

Moulin Rouge! in Japanese. A vivid insight into the mizu-shobai of a Yoshiwara courtesan with flowery dreams. The imagery is over-the-top picturesque because the director started off as a pro photographer. Beats Hero & Color Blossoms any day, and only narrowly loses out to Rouge! coz of the lack of singing. But the falling sakura is a sight to behold.

Great family fun, + values too!

Love the art deco hotel & lacy brollies. Watched this as a 6 yr old, and have been trying to will myself through time since

captures the feel of colonial saigon beautifully sweatily

Makes me wanna get a tranquil house by a lake, then again, maybe not. IMHO this emotive Korean romance transcends translation

watched this 5 times in the cinema as a teen, and still game for more... the haircut's unforgettable

if only all love stories could begin & end like this...

A 2 hour long priest & rabbi joke with a lot of heart... but I'd have gladly married mommy's recommended newscaster instead ;)

very Very good brit wit and utterly hilarious moribund situations. Ah, this could only happen in England

never bring your girlfriend home to meet dad

A wonderful distillation of Suskind's unique novel. Grenouille is played out chillingly accurately, and Dustin lends an amusing touch too. But ultimately it's the apple-offering snow white, that one feels for most, in her purity and generosity, so cruelly and brutally repaid

carice & koch shine in this moving war drama about the dutch resistance. a good blend of malena, schindler's list, mata hari & star wars. and the uberfuhrer (general) looked scarily like mini-me! Ich liebe den Perfektionisten!

A tale more for adults than kids, this movie is somehow a workable combination of Top Gun & English Patient

Papayas never looked this good...

this movie's a classic, and ye-jin's braids too

Very, very, good pseudo-docu

makes me wanna be a self-destructive drunkard too, especially with the way alcohol's wasted

Venice, Romance, Costumes, Affairs, this movie's X-factor could not be suppressed

brilliant action, corny lines, self-sacrificial heroes, evil monsters -- aah, this worthy remake of the 80's will last well into the 21st century

brilliant update to the BBC miniseries

one of hayao's best. wonderfully dreamy, and eco

my intro into j-film, a real tearjerker

slow, but moving, contemplative drama with beautiful music & cinematography

Heartwarming tale of a bunch of coal-miners' daughters striving to lead their village through much-needed transformations, in order to only survive, but thrive

Going, Connelly, Tyler - could you blame any guy for not being to resist this trio of sisters. Brilliant performances by all.

heartwarming, beautifully-set tale

excellent intergenerational tale of the mate-finding challenges of overseas chinese amid communal pressure

Best of the Disney lot

Wonderful tale of 3 men... and their intertwined fates with one woman

It was bullshit, Put a bullet to my head, I want to die... laughing

The Oliver-esque number is indeed "sacred & great"! But some may get quite irate
