My Favorite Movies

What can I possibly say about this movie which hasn't been said already? It's absolutely beautiful and charming. Creative, loveable, weird. And the scene in which Amelie is baking while picturing Nino going out to buy her an ingredient and so on, that scene is so me. That's me. That's how I am.
J'adore Amelie.

The best version of "A Star is Born", if you ask me. Judy is such a natural in this role and I believe her in every moment of it, in every emotion. It's such a powerful movie and it's got some of the prettiest songs ever, like "The Man That Got Away". To die for.

When finished watching this movie, I feel hope. Not many movies make me feel that these days and so I am grateful to Bobby, both the man and the movie. It's so interesting to watch and you get to learn a thing or two and some of the plots can be translated into modern plots. Elijah Wood's character having to fight in a war he (nor the majority of the people) doesn't believe in. Hmm, does it ring a bell, anyone?

This is my ultimate favourite movie and if I tell you why you might laugh at me, but I don't care. This movie shows emotions the way emotions are supposed to be shown. Portrayed by brilliant actors telling a beautiful, devastating story. I adore it. Always have. Always will.

It brought me back to life, and for that I will be forever grateful.

The way this movie (and the book) combines the stories of three different women living in three different ages, is pure genious. Just the line "Mrs. Dalloway said she'd buy the flowers herself." gives me goosebumps. It's so moving and so gratifying to watch.

Again: I love this movie. The book was great and seeing it come to life as a movie was a wonderful experience. I adore the way the characters interact with each other, especially Anthony and Nicole's characters. The scene in the church when Fiona's almost caressing Coleman's neck, but not really touching him. It's so beautiful.
Also it brings up a very important topic when it comes to racism both now and then.

No movie has grabbed me the same way La Vie en Rose did. My eyes wouldn't move away from the screen and that's how it's supposed to be. A movie should grab you with such a strength that you don't think about the other people at the cinema there with you. All you care about is the movie and the people in it, hearing their stories.

Tragic how such a great woman could pass away so soon, but then again: the truly great ones always do.

This movie sums me up perfectly. My pain and my sorrow.

What makes this movie a masterpiece in my eyes, are the actors and the truthfulness of it all. It's such a pure movie. It's honest and human and when I'm finished watching it, I always want to tell the ones I love how I feel about them, which I think's a great feature.

Horror isn't really my kind of genre, but it was a good movie with some great acting and Mr. King truly knows how to scare the shit out of people.

Even though I could guess what was going to happen basically the whole time, I thoroughly enjoyed it and Kevin Spacey always come through for me. Good work!

As said by others, nothing new, but a sweet movie with just enough craziness and just enough love.

With the beautiful monologue at the end, I have to give it a four out of five. It seems Julie Delphy always chooses/makes very interesting and untraditional movies. Good girl!

Amazing movie with beautiful, creative cinematography and really great stories. Incredible!

Great job by Jean, but I have to say Marlene stole the show. Gorgeous!

Quite good, very fine acting and a beautiful story.

I'm not sure what to say, a very strange movie, but in a good way. It's just not my type of film and it's just not my type of genre, but a good creation.

A feel good movie with a message.

No surprises and lots of overacting, but it had its sweet moments (and some beautiful cinematography).

When I die, I wanna go like that.

Fabulous.

And all I could say was, "hello". <3

Terrifying and great.

Cutesie!
Great acting, great story, all in all: a great movie. And very funny!

Think goose!

A true classic. :)

I prefer to not be able to figure out the whole story at the beginning of the movie. I prefer to be amazed and surprised. I prefer more intelligent movies.

An incredibly beautiful movie about the brilliance and mystics of music. A remarkable piece of cinematography.

Sweet, and for a while I actually felt the movie (but not long enough).

Great story, sweetness vs. the war. Very good.

A perfectly alright movie, however it seemed at times as if the makers confused Jane with Elizabeth Bennet.

So cool. So funny. Love it to pieces!

Weird and lovely, just like Wes.

Tasty.

A great portrayal of the differences between people and how we still stick together, and also how power is abused by authorities. Still, for me, it lacked something.

Love you, Woody!

The definition of a good movie is a movie that moves me and this one did just that. Loved it!

Totally messed up, but in a really good way. Fabulous. :D

Painfully beautiful.

Quite brilliant.

Too ordinary, but sweet at times.

Gorgeous! And a big shout out to Eddie for such an amazing job. <3

Fabulous!

Great movie about politics which kept me interested with its witty script.

Cutesie tootsie. :)

The child catcher still freaks me out.

I found it ironic that Aslan kept saying that the same thing won't happen twice, 'cause it's sort of exactly what I felt watching it. "Haven't I seen this before?" They fight against a bigger power, they fight against each other, and in the end Aslan saves the day. Don't get me wrong, I love Aslan and his roar is the most beautiful sound in the world, but yet I felt empty. I didn't get any wow-factor out of it and it made me kind of sad, 'cause the books are so great. They deserve to be made into better movies.

Angels are kinda creepy. The movie had its sweet moments, though.

Visually beautiful, but it seemed to lack something. Very fascinating, though.

Deeply fascinating; creative, exciting and honest.

Very sweet and a good story, but a tad too predictable (even though it's a children's movie...).

It seems that writing about writing never goes out of style... Loved it, though. (And Alex, I adore you!)

Woody is still my favourite movie maker.

I can't believe I haven't added this one yet, I love it so much!

A fascinating tale about the depth (and damage) of love and passion.

Not a new, exciting plot, and seeing as it is a romantic comedy you can't really expect that either, but the performances were heartfelt and the actors had a good chemistry and I believed it. A sweet movie.

Wes Anderson is brilliant. :D

So good it made me sick to my stomach.

I really liked it. I loved the small bits, the subtle things, the details and the emotions behind it all. Great piece of work.

I can't believe I haven't added this movie to my list already, I absolutely love it!

Chills. Terrible/wonderful. Terrible that things like that happen in our society, again and again, but wonderful work and tribute to Andrew by his family and friends.

A movie about a group of friends and how the Vietnam war effects their lives. Brilliant acting by everyone, especially De Niro and Streep who always does more than asked of them.

Original and very sweet.

There are a lot of movies out there telling the story about people we look up to, dead or alive. Cole Porter was an amazing song writer and it is my belief that this movie truly shows all of him, or at least as much as he wants us to see. I love the way Irwin's constructed it, making Cole watch a musical about his own life, so to speak. Fantastic!

(And the songs: <3!)

Not Martin's best, but still pretty good.

Apart from the fact it's to blame for my fear of snakes, it's fabulous.

World class acting and good story.

End speciesism.

A perfectly alright movie, but I wasn't blown away.

Hilarious!

Heart you.

Bloody hilarious!

Don't know why I haven't added this yet, it's fab (as always). <3

In one word: amazing.

Cate never seize to amaze me. Fabulous!

Not sure about the ending, but Guillermo's amazing.

I prefer the book, no doubt. I think they could have made the movie a bit longer, it all seemed very rushed and it didn't go with the story, but a sweet movie none the less.

Kaufman is a great writer, no question about is. It's such a sad, moving movie, so tender and sweet and at the same time brutal and terrifying. But I love it, I really do.

Googly-great.

De Niro and Streep made me feel every emotion their characters were going through, due to their brilliant acting. The thing is, it doesn't feel like they're acting, they ARE Frank and Molly and I felt every up and down right there in the deepest part of my heart. Gorgeous.

Loved it!

Great cast and fabulous dancing, singing etc., but the whole movie seemed rushed, we never really got to know any of the characters and therefore didn't care much about what happened to them, and the acting could have been so much better. Frankly, I was disappointed.

A beautiful, heartbreaking drama. Excellent acting in a deeply emotional movie.

I loved the old feel of it. Made me believe it. And I adore Dave Brubeck's Take Five, such a great song which captures the essence of the movie.

Would I have liked it as much if David hadn't played the Deputy Prime Minister? Probably not. However, it was a pretty decent movie.

Bloody brilliant!

Quite good, not great.

Amazing cinematography, but not as good as I thought it would be.

I liked everything except the ending. I wanted Hopkins to win, as bad as it may sound. But by all means, a very intelligent movie and I love Mr. Hopkins. Always have, always will.

Fantastic.

I'm still trying to decide whether it was weird-good or just plain weird. I think I'm gonna end up somewhere in the middle.

Sweet movie, but I've seen a lot better from this era, and the ending (well, the whole movie, frankly) seemed a bit rushed. Maybe that was the point, how fast the "little girls" grow up, I don't know, I found it a tad annoying.

One of the sweetest movies I've ever seen. Such great acting and amazing chemistry between the actors, especially Nighy and MacDonald. Gorgeous. And heart breaking/heart warming with a great message.

Nothing in comparison to the book, but still a good movie.

Solid piece of work, but a bit too heavy on the dream sequences.

Fantastic! <3

Chills. Constant chills. If you ask me, it's the best Harry Potter-movie so far.

<3

Very entertaining and funny. Might be because I hadn't slept much, but I don't care, I had a great time watching it.

Better than I thought it'd be.

Ingmar Bergman is a genius, no doubt. And I love the relationship between Ingrid Bergman and Liv Ullmann. They're both such great actresses, it's a pleasure to watch.

Freaky shit! Loved the idea of the movie, but the movie itself: not so much... Had some very nice lines in it, though.

I actually felt bad for the nut.

Cute!

Weirrrd as hell, but loved it.

I watched The Prestige when it was released and heard about The Illusionist later, wanting to see that one as well but I didn't get the chance until today. The verdict? Amazing. As The Prestige it toys with your feelings and your mind and it leaves you in the dark until the very last minutes of the movie. Incredible.

A very tender movie, amazing in its own subtle way. I loved it.

Ever thine. Ever mine. Ever ours.
Fascinating movie.

Genius.

Surprisingly good.

It was okay, I guess. Good writing, good acting, but nothing out of the ordinary to make it amazing.

Very cute ending, but the movie in general... I'm not sure, I've been told a lot of great stuff about this movie, so I guess I expected more. I was a tad disappointed.

Smashing. <3 Great humour!

Not better than the original, different though (as is to be expected). Has the speed of a post millenium-movie, but still keeps the essence of cool from the sixties. Good job!

Yes, I'm in a fucked up mood and therefore this review will be _very_ personal, but I absolutely lovedLovedLOVED this movie. The stories aren't supercreative, but it was such a sweet movie with realistic characters and story lines and I thought it was great. I think Jane would be pleased.

More scary than any monster movie will ever be.

A splendid movie, all in all, but I found the ending a bit strange, as if she was going to say something more, but didn't. It felt a bit cut off, in a way.

Love, love, love!

(However I must give you all a small piece of advise: don't watch it when you're hungry...)

Great movie! Loved the creative script, it truly deserved the Oscar. A movie which has a life of its own. Original and a pleasure to watch.

Childhood memories.

Every living being should see this movie.

I didn't feel the movie had any heart, I didn't care what happened, but the animation was good and it had its cute moments.

Beautiful.

We all need something to keep us going.

Okay, so you have a good guy who's family gets brutally murdered. Ten years have turned the good guy bad. Now bad guy (who was sorta a bad guy from the start, it seems) kills a bunch of people until mr. Jamie Foxx and his remaining helpers finish him off. So, okay, even though I get the whole thing about trying to criticise the American justice system etc., it's not a very impressive movie, however the acting was superb.

Supercuteness! Entertaining, funny and everything in between. I adore you, Georgie!

Such sweetness, but at the same time it's so honest and real.

A sweet 50's musical.

Maybe I missed something, but I wasn't very impressed...

Better than the first one, but again: I wasn't impressed.

Long time, no see. Liked it better this time around.

Gorgeous.

Kinda bad, kinda cute.

I have never in my LIFE got as many goose bumps from a movie as I got from watching Mamma Mia!. Meryl Streep is the ultimate movie queen. I just want to watch it over and over again! (And BOO at the ones who left before the credits ended, they missed out on some great fun!)

Deeply frightening.

Out of this world.

*hjarte*

Absolutely loved it. Great twists in the end.

It's just so darn cute!

Good, not great.

It didn't really move me, which was the main problem I had with it. It was just okay. Okay acting, okay story, some cliches here and there. An okay movie, but nothing more.

An important piece of film.

Amazing man, amazing story, amazing movie. Gave me goose bumps and a rekindled belief in my fellow humans.

Some of the transitions from one part of his life to another was a bit poorly done, but overall a very impressive movie.

Beautiful.

The ending was kind of abrupt, but other than that: one of the cutest movies ever. It had a bit of an Alice in Wonderland-feel to it. And it had the coolest/funniest credits roll I've seen.

Best comedy out there! :D

Reality and sweetness (and some beautiful music).

A tad too cliche, but it had its sweet moments and the acting was good. Must love Diane and John.

Heartbreaking and beautiful. Amazing performances.

Not as bad as I thought it'd be, much thanks to Scarlett Johansson, but nothing like a smash hit.

Cute.

Being a romantic, I wanted it to have a happy ending (well, a different happy ending), but some great acting, plus it moved me to tears (which is always a sign of good quality).

Not a new plot, but because of the great acting (and the amazing food) I really enjoyed it.

Painful to watch at times, but I think it's a very important movie. A source for many discussions.

A bit too freaky and a bit too much overacting for me to be able to take it seriously.

One of the most beautiful movies I have ever seen. The music alone is enough to make you fall in love with it.

Love.

Although it's a gorgeous movie costumes and locations-wise, the makers have been a tad too creative, creating a movie which isn't historically correct. I prefer it when the story is true to facts.

Absolutely adorable (and so much fun!).

Cute. Gorgeous set design.

I love how it makes me feel.

Sweetness.

Rock and roll, baby!

Meryl never gets me down. Loved it. <3

Very cool, very French, very good.

Very touching movie, and it has some great acting, but it's not exactly the best movie I've seen. It was okay. Plus for Hilary watching "A Star is Born" though. Loved that.

Thought it would be better.

Freakyfab! I've heard and seen it being referenced many times, I was afraid it wouldn't be all it's cranked up to be, but I truly enjoyed watching it.

Breathtaking.

It's not a movie I'd watch over and over again, but it was deeply engaging and interesting, and I also learned a lot.

Interesting documentary, liked it a lot. A bit disrespectful at times, though.

Amazing piece of work. Made me feel sick to my stomach, but in a good way, I guess. One of the important movies of today, together with movies like The Kite Runner, Lions For Lambs etc.

I expected more.

Good/bad-crazy, with its moments of sweetness and brilliance.

A classic in every way.

I expected more from Wes...

I adore Wes Anderson movies!

Sweetness!

A very honest and real story about how to deal with a demented parent and life in general. How to live and how to move on.

Amazing piece of work, brilliant acting and a solid story.

I was a bit disappointed, maybe because I've read the book and therefore had expectations. I don't know, I didn't feel a connection to it. Cinematically beautiful, though.

Absolutely fabulous, loved every second of it!

It's not that the story is shocking or surprising (even though it had its moments). It's simply that it's Sex and the City and it's not a copy-cat of the series-movie, it's its own piece and I love the makers for that. For making it something different, in stead of it feeling like a very long episode. It was fun, it was sad, I felt every emotion and I even cried even though I was sitting in a stacked cinema. I loved it.

Very cool, very cute, very entertaining. (And some good acting.)

I truly loved this movie. It was poetic and sweet and as apposed to others reviewing this movie, I thought the actors filled their roles beautifully and perfectly.
