My Favorite Movies

This movie was just about perfect. My new favorite! To quote Brian W, "The acting is good... The cinematogaphy is brilliant. The casting is inspired.... Emile Hirsch should get some sort of recognition for this role. And perhaps Sean Penn as director."

Gene Hackman at his funniest! The soundtrack, the set design, the script, the oddball humor, I was laughing out loud when I first saw this movie. This is one that I could watch over & over. Most people I talk to either completely love it or completely hate it. I love it!!!

This movie had excellent acting, overall well done in almost every aspect. Loved it!

Instantly fell in love with these two! The movie is almost all dialogue and I can't say that I had experienced watching a movie like that before I watched this one so it took a little getting used to but it was great! It made the impossible (meeting and falling in love with someone in one night) seem possible... Call me a hopeless romantic. ;)

Ah, I instantly fell in love with these two in Before Sunrise but this movie (the second of the set) shot 9 years after the first, sealed the deal for me. Love, love, love it!!!

Woman, woman, woman - that poem/song never got old. Oh, and every scene where Mike plays a Scottish dad, "Look at the size of his head, it's like an orange on a toothpick." Good times. This movie was so underated! It is full of funny, quotable lines and I love the scene with the prison guard. I almost peed my pants! The end is kinda dumb but that aside, this is one of Mike's best movies (according to me).

I cringed today when someone asked me if I'd seen the movie The Lakehouse and if I liked it... Please say that is not the kind of movie that ranks higher ratings from my peers than the movie Indigenes. Movies like Indigenes have such an important story to tell, the filmaking and acting so good that I can't believe that everyone isn't creating buzz about this film. See it and you will learn a very important lesson about the strength of the human spiriit, equality (or the lack of), and racial discrimination. Loved this!

Loved Glen's voice, great performances by him & Marketa. Overall great film.

This was a wonderful story! Sister Helen had such a giving spirit to what an average person would consider the "outcasts" of society. Truly a beautiful soul, funny, real, and she put her faith into action. Totally worth watching, a life changing experience!!!

This movie was very well made, sexy, smart, and heartwarming/ hearwrenching. So good! I'm still thinking about how crazy/creepy the Stasi were and how much like the Nazi's... Ulrich Muhe did an amazing in his character and to find out in special features on the DVD that he actually grew up in East Germany and was surveiled by the Stasi himself adds another dimension to his acting. Wow!

This movie was truly about the story and refreshingly there was no hype (as this was only Pacino's second film). I loved that the actors were virtually unkown and that it was filmed on location, a lot of times in one take. This movie is so quality, it has quickly become one of my favorites! I want to watch it again to see young Al... ;)

If you haven't seen this one, you haven't lived! I love it, period. To quote the flixster review, "Dangling three "what if" variations on Lola's mission to save her mate, Run Lola Run propels us toward each outcome with a delicious peppering of surprises, quirks, and twists... Scoring his delirious staccato mix of animation, still photographs, and live action to a pounding techno beat, Tykwer reveals himself a virtuoso of the medium and, at the same time, a passionate believer in destiny and the transcendent power of love." Franka rules! :)

I really enjoyed drinking in the scenery and watching the relationship between Ralph and Rachel take odd little turns but ultimately turn into this pure solid thing. A great adventure, tragic, but the message was important as well. Rachel deserved the Oscar that she won for this role. :)

Heartbreakingly good: the story, the acting, the relationship between Leon and the girl. This movie is so good on so many levels.

I could easily put this one on repeat and still keep laughing. I have been able to apply the situations and characters in this movie to every job I've ever had. So quotable, so true, so fun (especially the neighbor). :)

This was a total blast to watch! Quirky, fun, sexy, gorey, and hilarious. They even managed to throw a love story into the mix. Oh, and Naveen was in it so that was a bonus. He needs to be in more films. Rose & Marley are so hot! Watching this movie is going to be my new halloween tradition.

Again, I love Viggo. I love how he plays such complex characters and make us want to hang on his every word. Armin is creepy as the head of a Russian crime faimly & equally creepy was Vincent Cassel who plays his son. Gripping tale, heartbreaking, violent... sad that there are still sections of the world where there is modern-day slavery... such an important thing to expose. The best/saddest part was the mother's tale... one I won't soon forget.

This movie always cheers me up and reminds me of my goofball friends I was deployed with in '03.

Ah, Paul Newman - the ultimate eye candy in his younger days. Stellar performance from Newman and there are some great quotable lines. This movie isn't considered a classic for no reason! To quote Scott B., "Paul Newman creates one of the most charismactic of all movie characters. The movie deals with the theme of conformity and how one man tries to fight the prison system. Inspiring and tragic."

Lovely, funny, wierd, and stars Johnny Depp, Vincent Price, and Wynona Ryder? Killer combo, loved this flick.

This movie was crazy but I loved the concept. This quickly became one of my favorites. :) Upon reading other Flixster members review's about this movie, I believe that Ramiraff says it best, "An enjoyable liberal revenge blood bath. Except since liberal people have y'know...feelings, they start to get guilty and it all goes to hell once Ron Perelman shows up." 'Nuff said!

This was such a quirky movie, had a fun spirit, and the relationship between Paz & Morgan took you on a journey of self discovery. The dialogue between them takes you much farther than you initially think it will. Completely enjoyable.

It was more than I could have hoped for. Excellent performances especially by Ricci and Jackson. Wow!

This is my anti-Alphie movie (no offense Jude). I can totally relate to some of the stuff Claire goes through and I love her in this. Jason is quirky and fun to watch. Steve is great. Love this one!!!!! Have watched it so many times.

Frickin Winona, Ethan, and Janeane made this movie memorable. I loved the placement of that Violent Femmes song. Ethan is so bad ass!! Ben Stiller was a no name at this point, I actually forgot that he was in this one. Great movie, fun soundtrack (Lisa Loeb anyone?). Intro to reality TV at that point in history. I remember when it all began... I'm getting old!

Johnny Depp's best performance yet, hands down! See this one.

The soundtrack, the acting, the story, the cinematography. Just about perfect! :)

I love this movie.

Pacino's performance blew me away. The tango scene and the way he interacts with women are very entertaining. It was funny to see Philip Seymour Hoffman in such a dinky role but he had to start somewhere. I didn't think it had been THAT long since this movie came out but 1992... yeah. Doesn't matter though, the message of redemption/forgiveness/making a fresh start despite of your past is timeless. So glad I watched this again! Truly a gem.

Excellent material to work with, the actors did an excellent job (and I'm not a big fan of Jolie). I love Mariane's spirit and Daniel's too for that matter. A beautiful/heartbreaking story!

Unexpectedly wonderful (minus the out of place and therefore corny Corrine Bailey Ray songs mixed in). I loved this movie!

Mojovike1 says it best, "All of the funniest kids end up in remedial English for the summer and laid back buddy teacher Mark Harmon is there to be the ringleader. Comic gold!" This movie has some of the best students-behaving-badly scenes I have seen yet! My brother and I LOVE this movie and we know almost every line. Two thumbs WAY UP!!

This is another movie that Kim and I loved, and the soundtrack especially brings back happy childhood memories. Robin Williams and Forest Whitaker really shine. So many quotable lines... :)

Such a classic.

Three of my favorite actors are in this film: Clive, Jude, Natalie. That is a formula for greatness in my book. Julia was decent as well. Worth watching!

Eye candy, frickin loved this one!!!!!!!! My favorite martial art movie yet. Plus, I love it when the female lead secretly can kick major a**. :)

This one never gets old, it's still funny 20 some years after first seeing it! :)

Words cannot express how much I love this movie and the soundtrack is hillarious! It was an instant classic with my bro and I. :)

After recently watching Betty Blue I see some similarities between these two movies but Don't Move has a much better story line. Penelope Cruz is OUTSTANDING in this movie! I loved her performance and also Sergio's. Their relationship is downright insane and unfortunately I can relate to some of what they go through. Very interesting storyline keeps your attention until the very end. This movie made me cry for Penelope's character. Very moving, worth watching!!!

This movie rocks in so many ways! It is intelligent, funny, sexy, naughty and just all-in-all clever. I love how the story can be retold as a comedy or a tragedy. Interesting!

Funny, charming, good character developement, great mix of talented actors, and great soundtrack. I truly loved this movie!

So frickin goofy, loved it! John C. Reilly and Will Ferrel are a killer combo, and the dad and kids are a riot. Sacha is completely ridiculous. Fun!

A must see! I love how the car horn on the VW bus was so inappropriate in it's timing. This movie made me laugh outloud yet there were some very heartfelt moments. By far my favorite movie of 2006!
