Shakespeare in Love (1998, R)
One of my all-time favorite movies. Brilliant script, great performances, and it's Shakespeare. Who could ask for anything more? |

One of my all-time favorites. Fun script, good acting, and subject matter close to my heart... |

Love Actually (2003, R)
I love this film and would watch it again and again. The different story lines that bizarrely (and in very real-world fashion) overlap each have their quirky heartbreaking element that keeps the movie fresh. |

Fa Yeung Nin Wa (In the Mood for Love) (2000, PG)
Gorgeous, utterly gorgeous movie. I think I held my breath the entire time. The atmosphere, the simplicity that allowed the complexity of emotions and situations to rise to the surface...beautiful. |

Amelie (Le Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain) (2001, R)
Beautiful, moving, funny...and delightfully simple. It was particularly wonderful to see this in France, in French, on the big screen! I fell in love at first site. Unlike many French films I've seen, it was clever - and adorable! - without being obscure. One of my all-time favorites. |

Moulin Rouge! (2001, PG-13)
An age-old story retold with gusto. I thoroughly enjoyed the fast-paced visual stimulation and the refashioned pop songs. Everyone in it seemed like they were giving 110% - and it's hard not to find that enthusiasm catching. (Plus, it's Ewan McGregor. I never mind watching him for a few hours!) |
