Excellent movie, Intense, Scarry and Very Emotional. With a beautifuI cast and a promicing story from the novel with the same name written by THE Master of Horror, Stephen King, this chilling movie makes from itself a powerful mind-blowing.

John Cusack plays it geniously, with this one he made one of his best career's performance. From the beggining until that wonderful end, he proved his outstanding cinematic talent... Absolutely stunning.

They say you can't die in your dreams... is that true?

The Shawshank Redemption (1994,  R)
The Shawshank Redemption
This movie excellently presents the life of the convicted prisoners from Shawshank State Penitetiary, some of them guilty and some, just like the case of our protagonist (Andy Dufresne), not guily.

The flawless performance made by those two phenomenal actors: Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins, completed by that wonderful story and the complexity of how the scenes were putted together, makes this magnificent masterpiece an wonderful flick and a Must-See.

Photobucket

I believe in two things: Discipline and the Bible. Put your trust in the Lord. Your ass belongs to me. Welcome to Shawshank.

3
Gladiator (2000,  R)
Gladiator
This movie was my favorite one like two years in a row. It was exciting, catchy, never knew what to expect from it, and the most importantly, it had Russel Crowe in the leading role. I think this is the movie with which Russel made his career trademark.

Gladiator is simply legendary, the arena fights, the story, the flawless playing and that great rivalry between Maximus and Commodus intensified more and more the action and made us to enjoy every second of it.

Are you not entertained? Are you not entertained? Is this not why you are here?

American History X (1998,  R)
American History X
In American History X is presented a great story of life completed by an outstanding performance made by Edward Norton. The other characters played their roles as expected even if not all the names over there were famous. But in the end they did nothing more than to shape Ed's character to be more catchy to the public and spectacular in the same time. Absolute fabulous movie and a powerful story too.

Life's too short to be pissed off all the time. It's just not worth it.

5
The Pianist (2002,  R)
The Pianist
A Beauty! Adrien Brody will always have my sincerely respect for sustaining the whole movie. It wasn't a spectacular cast, but the message and the fact that was so well represented made it a success.

Honestly, I wasn't very sure to see this one, cuz I'm not right into war movies, but then I saw that it's inspired from a true story, and finally I changed my mind. It seems that I made the right choice, haven't I? Simply Amazing!

Photobucket

What is your name? Spielmann? That is a good name, for a pianist.

6
The Prestige (2006,  PG-13)
The Prestige
Wow. What a movie. Since I've read the plot I knew that this one should be good. Some great actors, with solid performances, a well-presented rivalry between two magnificent magicians, and the love story that triggered this one. What do you want more from it? Excellent!

With this one Christopher Nolan became one of my favourite directors. Wonderful movie, an absolute masterpiece.

Photobucket

The secret impresses no one. The trick you use it for is everything.

7
Scarface (1983,  R)
Scarface
Maybe the best mob movie that ever appeared. It had action, that famous shooting met in every mafia flick, the story, the chick, and a glorious end. What do you want more from it? It was absolutely Perfect! Al Pacino made the role of his life. Excellent playing!


Photobucket

I'm Tony Montana! You f**k with me, you're f**kin' with the best!

The Dark Knight (2008,  PG-13)
The Dark Knight
An outstanding movie. I love it.
Heath Ledger will be missed by all of us :( Outstanding actor.

R.I.P. Heath :(
9
The Invisible (2007,  PG-13)
The Invisible
At one certain time you'll find it very sad, and truly intriguing, but this is making it perfect. The story was absolutelly great, with an excellent power of message.

Some of you maybe didn't understood very well this movie, maybe it's not good enough for your tastes, or maybe something missed from it. But I tell you, there are few thrillers that can actually compete with this one at ... Everything. This movie really represents me, and that is why I'm loving it so much. :) Enjoy it!
10
Black Beauty (1994,  G)
Black Beauty
I just love this movie. I'm nuts about this one since I was a kid. :)
11
Seven (Se7en) (1995,  R)
Seven (Se7en)
"The world is a fine place and worth fighting for." From my point of view, I find myself in the position to tend on Morgan Freeman's opinion: "I agree with the second part."

Outstanding movie, with an unique ending scene that you rarely find in a movie. Excellent!
12
Casanova (2005,  R)
Casanova
He is my model in life. This movie really opened me out with some things. :-"
It was a great movie. Pitty that Lauren Cohan appeared only at the beggining and she didn't had a primary role. :(
13
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008,  PG-13)
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Absolutely genius. At this kind of movies you just can't get bored. Yes, it was long but it really worth it, and if I think it through, maybe this one truly deserved the Oscar. Love it ;x
14
Forrest Gump (1994,  PG-13)
Forrest Gump
An Extraordinary movie. Truly Emotional, Outstanding, Well-Achieved, presents the Simple story of one man that really can make a change. In one simple word: PERFECT!

The greatest performance of Tom Hanks indeed.
15
One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975,  R)
One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest
Ohh wow. This was really something. I'm still stunned of this beautiful movie.

Firstly it deludes you with its plot, Then it makes you think twice wether to see it or not, because afterall, the cast is simply perfect, and Finally it impresses you with its story, acting and everything. Highly Recommended ;x
16
Hounddog (2008,  R)
Hounddog
Wow. Yeah, Wow. I haven't used this word next to a movie for a long time and I guess now it's the time. This movie was Absolutely Wonderful. Starting from the playing of that fabulous little girl Dakota Fanning right to that highly disputed story.

I tell you people, if you had read the declarations of Dakota and her family's as well, and obvious if you consider yourself a truly fan then you could have respected the girl's choice to play this movie and implicitly that contentious scene. I know, it's VERY hard to watch that particular scene, but I think it's time to move on, cuz even her parents declared that they took care of everything and decided to stop filming whenever the actress felt unconfortable about it.
17
Fight Club (1999,  R)
Fight Club
One of the examples of what a bad company may do to you. Absolutely outstanding performance by those two. Excellent actors ;)
18
American Psycho (2000,  R)
American Psycho
Christian Bale plays the role of an ordinary serial killer, a cruel, cold-blooded murderer looking for wealth supremacy. The movie was excellent with a great presentation of characters, with a soft and cool action, completed with an excellent ending.

If I think it through, no one could have ever done it like Bale, not even Leonardo Di Caprio or Edward Norton who were originally casted as Patrick Bateman. Bale was too perfect for this movie, and I thought I was a bit of narcissistic :)

I know there's a lot of you who saw this movie (I know, for me is second time) but I think you might like to check it again. It was so damn great.
19
The Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King (2003,  PG-13)
The Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King
This one last movie was absolutely great. Wonderful action, and full of suspence. This is my kind of movie. Soo so Great. ;x
20
The Lord of the Rings - The Two Towers (2002,  PG-13)
The Lord of the Rings - The Two Towers
Better than the first one that's for sure, at least this one had a bit of a promising end :) I tell you, this sequel Tlotr is definitely one of my favourites. Entirely this movie serie achieved like 17 oscars :) and this is some kind of a record :) Wow.
21
The Lord of the Rings - The Fellowship of the Ring (2001,  PG-13)
The Lord of the Rings - The Fellowship of the Ring
I liked very much the story I even read the book and the movie was absolutely perfect. I'm a great fan of the Lord of the Rings, but I must admit that I wasn't expecting such end, everything so all of the sudden. :)
22
Pride and Prejudice (2005,  PG)
Pride and Prejudice
An outstanding movie, with a great playing and excellent turn-ups. Even though the book was recommended to me from school, now I feel sorry that I didn't choose this novel for my reading. It has a fabulous story and some unique love stories. Definitely recommended! And if you think about it, then I will tell you: Pride and Prejudice it's NOT a chick flick! Enjoy ^_^
23
Finding Neverland (2004,  PG)
Finding Neverland
A very touching story, inspired from the true story of James M. Barrie, the one that made possible the Peter Pan myth. It has high-class cast, a distinguished one, without which the movie could have remained just an ordinary Peter Pan flick. Even if they weren't involved in an On-Screen relationship, Kate and Johnny excellently fitted in that wonderful mystery world, surpassing any obstacle in being together, even if this one represented Emma or even Mary Barrie.

This amazing flick was full of woundrus fairytales, fabulous stories and also tried to bring us to Peter Pan's Neverland, experiencing how it's like to be a young boy again.
24
A Beautiful Mind (2001,  PG-13)
A Beautiful Mind
Extremely fascinating. If you ask me Russel Crowe can play ANY kind of role. He done it so damn perfect!
25
Disturbia (2007,  PG-13)
Disturbia
Disturbia tends a bit more to Crime and Horror than Thriller how it's described. As when it comes to Mystery, this movie is full with tense scenes and some parts of it are simply keeping you on the edge of your seat.

After this movie I got used with David Morse in a negative role, permanently. Until now, I pictured him the good guy icon but now, he's only the tough guy, looking to satisfy his cruel intensions. I just love his roles, but the negative ones are making out of him an Expert at this kind of characters.
26
Amelie (Le Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain) (2001,  R)
Amelie (Le Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain)
There you go, we prooved that there could be simple movies as well which have great a catch to the public and in the end they are vindicated as masterpieces. From my point of view, I have only good thoughts about this one and even it's a simple french movie, it has some little details that are making it an amazing flick. Maybe the best non english I ever seen.
27
A Walk to Remember (2002,  PG)
A Walk to Remember
Best romantic movie ever seen. There's no more to say about it. Just perrrfect.
28
The Notebook (2004,  PG-13)
The Notebook
This one too was a good romantic film. Love it. Very good story indeed.
29
American Beauty (1999,  R)
American Beauty
Outstanding story, beautiful cast and a wonderful performance made by Kev.

Requiem for a Dream (2000,  R)
Requiem for a Dream
A-MAZING!

I am still in shock about what I saw in this beautiful movie. It's simply genius. The story was excellent and the presentation was absolutely remarkable.

Highly recommended! You'll be surprised.
31
Taken (2009,  PG-13)
Taken
Liam Neeson kicked ass. Great action movie. You should see this. ;)
32
The Illusionist (2006,  PG-13)
The Illusionist
The Enigmatic Eisenheim.
In this one I was surprised to see Edward Norton in another role like in the other movies he played so far. It was such a great performance that I couldn't avoided to put this one on my favourite movie list.
33
Casablanca (1943,  Unrated)
Casablanca
Maybe the best Romantic movies of all time. If at the beggining you found this beautiful flick absolutely average, then with Isla's sudden appearance things start to go pretty tense, and you'll see that the real reason for which Casablanca is so praiseworthy is because of that excellent last 10 minutes when everything takes an unexpected turn. If you allow me, whole movie counts on that end that brings with it sorrow, a bit of mystery, and that gorgeous love for which you are willing to renounce at everything.
34
The English Patient (1996,  R)
The English Patient
Wow. This was absolutelly wonderful. This movie presents a mix of four intriguing stories, genuin combined, made to reveal a beautiful and still impossible love story for which had to be made lots of sacrifices. It was a touching story, a unique one, that thrilled every viewer and made him to feel the movie to its very end. Yes I know, it was long, but not long enough to even think of getting bored. This beautiful flick kept me there, waiting to discover more and more about that amazing love.

The playing was absolutely wonderful, yet again not a spectacular cast, excepting maybe Ralph Fiennes who made the role of his life. If I think it through, he could have played only half of the movie and for that poor patient to bring some other actor and to forgive Ralph of no more trouble. I mean, they changed him so much that I couldn't have guessed that he is actually playing the english patient or not. Even though some of you found it long, or even boring, I myself will gladly see this one again if I would have the chance. It really worths a try, believe me! ;x
35
Donnie Darko (2001,  R)
Donnie Darko
Good. Very Good. A bit strange, but good.
36
The Reader (2008,  R)
The Reader
An outstanding, exceptional, wonderful movie with a magnificent story and an unexpected performance made by Kate Winslet.

Some of the reviewers and critics found this movie a bit offensive (I tell you, it wasn't even a bit) but for me was aboslutely perfect, I wouldn't change anything about it.
37
The Number 23 (2007,  R)
The Number 23
Definitely new role for JC and sth different from what he used us with :) Love it.
38
Memento (2000,  R)
Memento
I was really hoping that this movie would become one of my favorites, but with every event of the movie going backwards I started to be more and more confused. But I don't say that this is a bad thing at all. In any way, maybe this is making it so great, the fact that it really puts you to work, as if you should screw together all of those little puzzles. It was absolutely amazing, and I recommend it with love to all of you. The best psychological movie ever seen, and I mean it! ;)

The Lion King (1994,  G)
The Lion King
Even if it was an animated movie, it had some emotional parts, especially those involving the death of Mustafa :o3 I felt sorry for him. But, afterall, it prooved to be an excellent movie. See it soon.

Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End
The best movie from PotC series. In the last movie, Will becomes a truly traitor. Really disappointed about his performance :)
Can't wait for the next one in the series. ^_^ I'm sure that they will continue the serie.

Jumper (2008,  PG-13)
Jumper
Wow. The story was sth new that's for sure. Hayden is starting to play in some great movies. Already two of his movies are in my favourite movie list. Very well played in this one too. Love it, Has it all: action, suspense, romance too. Perfect. ^_^
50
I Am Sam (2002,  PG-13)
I Am Sam
"All you need is love"...

Wow. This surely is a great movie, which had the unlucky chance to have some bad critics. If it's not Harvey Milk, than this is the best movie role of his career. Sean played simply perfect, close to perfection just like Tom Hanks in Forrest Gump.

If you haven't seen this movie than download it NOW. It worth it, I can assure you. You'll be surprised by its intencity and you'll see, even amused.

Counting cards, man I'd like to do that. One crazy movie. No more words, just pefect.
55
Slumdog Millionaire (2008,  R)
Slumdog Millionaire
Wow. I must admit it, I was wrong about it. This movie really deserves the Golden Globe, but I think they overreacted with the Oscars (8). @-)

I just love it. It was very well thought and it combined everything: love, action, the drama of a modest life and even money.
Just Enjoy! ;)
56
The Usual Suspects (1995,  R)
The Usual Suspects
Call me whatever you want but I kinda anticipated the fact that Kayser Soze was or Dean Keaton or Verbal Kint. It was kinda obvious, cuz at this movies you must think the unthinkable, if you know what I mean. This is what is making them so special.

The action was good, the shooting part was simply perfect, and that excellent end made this flick something to remember. Even I, who anticipated a little part of the ending remained speechless. Excellent movie, which I recommend with pleasure. ^_^
57
Sin City (2005,  R)
Sin City
This movie was so damn PERFECT!
58
I Am Legend (2007,  PG-13)

Wow. Jessica in a negative role. :) This is sth new for certain. Great played.

Pathology
This movie is a stunner. Milo plays he's role absolutely great, and what a role: A guy with a double personality, one involvinf the family life, with the relationship, and the other one involving his "friends" and his work as well :)

Anyway, Milo is the best and plays the role of a killer perfectly;) Every role he had, he made a great performance of it. Excellent!

63
Hitman (2007,  R)
Hitman
I can't see another actor playing this movie. Timothy Olyphant is perfect for this role. Action from the beggining. Love it. I even played the games and they're awesome. Can't get enough of them. ^_^

Fluke (1995,  PG)
Fluke
God, I love this movie. I was 12 years old when I saw this beauty ^_^
65
Bruce Almighty (2003,  PG-13)
Bruce Almighty
Best comedy ever seen. 5 times even, and never get enough. There's no comedy I've seen that made me laugh like this one ^_^ Jim Carrey is the best. And if someone tries to copy him, and trust me there are, they just can't do it like him. :) Too Genius.

A little mouse chef. :-"
This is sth new :) And very very cool. Love it.
67
Zodiac (2007,  R)
Zodiac
An outstanding movie with a great performance by all of the actors. Only that its story was a bit too full of information, too much details and so on. Maybe the Zodiac movies aren't only my favourite ones. ^_^ Great story.
68
The Eye (2008,  PG-13)
The Eye
Wow. This is my kind of horror/thriller. It wasn't so scary how I expected, but this is not the only thing that makes a horror to be a good movie. Jessica played this movie perfectly. When it comes for the role, she gets very emotional. Which is great =P~
69
Australia (2008,  PG-13)
Australia
"You don't have love in your heart, you got nothing, no dreaming, no story. Nothing."

Tragic, romantic, very tense, and with a great story completed by a perfect ending. Absolutely great performance by two excellent actors. Worth watching, even if it's quite long. ;x
