Christian's Favorite Movies
1.
Beauty and the Beast
G
Beauty and the Beast is the Casablanca of animation. Moreso than other animated movies from the '90s Disney renaissance, this one's perfectly paced with some wonderful character development—and as Howard Ashman's swan song, it's got a lot more heart.
2.
The Lord of the Rings - The Fellowship of the Ring
PG-13
The Balrog vs. Gandalf scene alone is worth the price of admission, but then, so are a dozen other moments that are just as potent. It's the perfect beginning to the epic trilogy of the decade (and dare I say, "century"?). The Extended Cut, of course, is the preferred one to watch.
3.
Eat Drink Man Woman (Yin shi nan nu)
Unrated
Even after Crouching Tiger and Brokeback, this is still Ang Lee's best film. Surprises abound at every turn, and you will never see the climax coming. It's a touching and funny story about food, modern life, family, and tradition. Get over the subtitles, you philistines. You don't know what you're missing.
4.
The Seven Samurai (Shichinin no Samurai)
Unrated
Everyone (Magnificent Seven, Three Amigos, Bug's Life, to name a few) keeps stealing this movie's plot for a reason. Mifune and Shimura are awesome, as always.
5.
The Princess Bride
PG
"Rob Reiner, please make me a witty, sweet but not overly saccharine, totally quotable fantasy swashbuckling romance cult classic." "As you wish."
