My Favorite Movies

It's a magical film, and an original. A film taken in someone elses hands could not have done the job like Micheal Gondry did I thought. And the lead roles are brilliantly acted by both Jim Carrey (Hurray, we LOVE serious Jim Carrey!) And Kate Winslet. And with the simple message that a love so strong as that - in the end shouldnt be forgotten - because your forgetting a part of yourself too.

Forgive the shameless obvious quoting but...

The First Rule of Fight Club is: You MUST watch Fight Club.
The Second Rule of Fight Club is You MUST watch Fight Club.

Even if you're a girl and arent that into 'action guy' films - it really shouldnt be marketted as that. It's clever, full of twists and themes of self enlightenment. And even if this isnt enough. It has topless Brad Pitt, Jared Leto and Edward Norton in it for most of the film. Come on people.

Amazing film, amazing script. Must read the book now!

The film was brilliant. The surrealism in it should not detract from it's powerful message. Mcdowell thrives as nonchallant and ever charismatic Travis

The most charming moive I've seen in a long time. Like Amelie's fondness for the little pleasures in life, it's the little things that make this so much more joyful to watch. Audrey Tatou is also amazing and Im so glad she was cast in it. As is everyone else actually. The artist guy reminds me of a french version of Kieth Richards. How odd.

It was fantastic, classic Gondry - it had the whole cinema in stitches which I find a rarity. It is odd that this doesnt seem like a 'big release' movie (Perhaps kitsch indie film of the year has already been stolen by Juno) and I havent seen it getting hyped up but I thought it was fantastic! Jack Black and Mos Def worked well together as the gentle yet ever suffering video shop worker and his roguish irritable companion. And lets not forget Gondry's direction which is why I went to see the film in the first place. Because. he. is. a. genius.

Cute, and original. Marilyn Monroe breathes her way through another cutesy performance ('Well nobody's perfect'), as two drag queens fight for her affections. Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis work so well together. Classic comedy that just makes you feel so good inside

A film that begs so many questions, but shows so much charisma and talent from a young Malcolm Mcdowell. Why are we attracted to a serial rapist and murderer? Because he does a bloody god job convincing us. Difficult to watch at times, but amazingly clever. Stanley Kubrick's finest.

Beautifully animated and drawn, and imagination used to the max. The visuals will knock you away, the story will fascinate you, the characters will scare and confuse you, and the plot will warm your little heart.

An excellent representation of the glamour vs the derelict. Saturday Night Fever not only has an excellent soundtrack but a terrific portrayal of 70s new york. John Trovalta's sex-crazed egotistical nature seems almost attractive. Not to mention that white catsuit..

Don't even get me started. This film thrilled me so much I went out and got a spotted bandana and an assortment of pirate jewellery. Everybody loves pirates, the roguish quality to them is just magnetic and interesting to watch. And although the Will Turner/Elizabeth Swann romance is sickly sweet and the most obvious romance to ever blossom, Johnny Depp's character brings the film a leash of life that earned him not only an oscar nomination but for the sequal's trailer to include around 80 percent of him in it.

I'm very much in love with this film - be the lines cheesier. But come on - this is Shakespeare! Inventor of the cliche! Sometimes you need a good few cliches to get the romance flowing. It's the classic forbidden love format - but hey. It works for me. And if it doesnt work for you - I'm sure topless Gwyneth Paltrow will.

My new favourite Studio Ghibli film. It's so sweet and magical and its fueled by the magic of a child's imagination rather than real magic this time. Which makes it all the more..well, magical I suppose.

Stylishly choreographed and terribly funny and dark - Chicago is as sexy and teasing as it's costumes and actors. Charismatic, clever and terrific fun.

Johnny Depp is fantastic (As always, come on it's Depp people) as the nervous Ichabod Crane. The story is imaginative, and the scenery exquisite. The enchanting Christina Ricci is also in this - scary, yet funny film

Okay - the Princess Bride herself is distrously bland - but Cary Elwes character is this adorable, smart, nimble thing that makes all ladies fall weak for him. The stories typical, but with a comic twist that helps it along - not to mention Billy Crystal's performance. But I think I will always love this film for Cary Elwes lovely purring British voice. Haha, call me shallow. "As you wiiish.."

The way this film is editted is fantastically portraying drug abuse. Sometimes just the camera work alone aside from the fantastic acting makes you feel as if you are as high as they are.

So sure, it's not the best one - and feels like it lasts for 5 days, it is the detail in the plot and the setting that really does it for me. And the more Jack Sparrow's featured in a film at one time, the better.

Makes you want to hate Kiera Knightley, but with some fantastic sequences and new villains - it shouldnt just be dismissed for 'not being as good as the first pirates of the carribbean'.

Both lead roles were fantastic, the intensity of the situation and the characters worked brillianty. Gyllenhaal is amazing forever

Nothing to do with Jake Gylenhall looking rather handsome in it, but his acting and emotion he puts into his intelligent but overall disturbed character is often compelling viewing. With a storyline spaning many a fansite ramsacked with endless theories as to what it's 'really about' - the story is one that needs thinking about alot - and with a horror twist with that ghastly rabbit...

This film was really great, brilliantly heart-warming and the two main boys played their roles excellently. I was really impressed with it's childish naivity and was drawn to a really sweet conclusion. The religious prospect of things could perhaps have been embellished slightly to make things more dramatic but perhaps that would override the film's original intentions. Brilliant!

A young attractive Scottish lad obsessed with his mother and in love with the woman who looks just like her? If that isnt worth 5 stars what is? It's an excellently cast film - with Jamie Bell excelling in a role that doesnt require extravagant tapdancing. Some of the shots by the clock tower are outstanding too. A film that initially looks innocent is plagued with dark undertones of a Freudian love.

Tim Curry is the sweetest transvestite ever. I did think this film sort of lost it towards the end though. The funnest B Movie Spoof ever.

Aah, Moon River. Nice to see producers actually letting Audrey Hepburn SING in a film for a change. Oh and the mask scene, and the kiss in the rain? Classic romantic moments here, people!

So I've seen a lot of credible films. I think I'm allowed this anomaly. This is one of my FAVOURITE films ever. I don't care if it's Muppets. I don't care if it's technically ruining one of the greatest novels ever. I don't care that Kevin Bishop's young naive Jim Hawkins is now tainted with Kevin Bishop being a successful comedian who does rude sex jokes. It's just outstanding! One of my favourite adventure and pirate films. AND Tim Currys in it! It's brilliant and fun - and will cheer you up if you are sad. I assure you.

A completely ridiculous plot, with a very obnoxious Micheal Caine. Dylan Moran steals the show - and the charming soundtrack evidently makes it all the more lovely. A fun, not exactly perfect movie treat you should love if you have a sense of humour.

If you only watch this for Alan Rickman's 'anatomically challenged as a Ken Doll' moment - then please do. It is great fun. Although Alanis Morisette as God? Who was in charge of casting for this film?
