The Virgin Suicides (2000,  R)
The Virgin Suicides
I'll always think of The Virgin Suicides as a masterpiece. It's by far one of my favorites movies. Sofia Coppola really captured the essence of the book and transformed it in a movie with the most beautiful aesthetics. The shots of the empty house, accompanied by the soundtrack, just translates all the characters feelings and visions. I hope Sofia Copolla and the Air duo comes back in future movies. Although I loved "Lost in Translation" and "Mairie Antoinette", this movie is by far her greatest accomplishment. I rather think of it as visual poetry. Not a movie, but art itself.

Final Fantasy VII - Advent Children (2006,  PG-13)
Final Fantasy VII - Advent Children
I love Final Fantasy VII, I always thought it is the best game in the saga. Although the first Final Fantasy movie wasn't so great, this one is really great. Even the English Dub is good, and the Japanese I just bow to it. It's just a dream that became true to all Final Fantasy fans.

The Matrix (1999,  R)
The Matrix
I think The Matrix is a masterpiece. Not only for its trendsetting image effects, but for being for my generation what 1984 by George Orwell was for the past generations. They've managed to combine blockbuster's qualities, like the kung-fu and all the gun-action scenes, to a very well thought philosophy, regarding what's our perception of reality nowadays. They used Pluto's Myth of the Cavern, written ages ago, and updated to a present perspective. You can point ideas defended by authors such as Jean Baudrillard and Guy Debord during all movie. They even quote Baudrillard, when Morpheus says "Welcome to the desert of the real". Not to mention the religious aspects regarding the name of the characters, like Trinity. It was all meticulously thought, and therefore that's why I think The Matrix is and will continue to be a must-see for present and future generations.

Fainaru fantajî X (Final Fantasy X) (,  Unrated)
Fainaru fantajî X (Final Fantasy X)
What can I say about Final Fantasy X? I guess it is the most cinematic of them all, because it has a linear storyline, different then the others. I guess I've spent about 300 hours of my life in it. Yeah, and you know, I enjoyed every little second of it.

Saint Seiya Gekijôban (1987,  Unrated)
Saint Seiya Gekijôban
Although this is not the best OVA for Saint Seiya, it is still very good. In this OVA there are characters who inspired others in the TV series, such as Orphee and Maya (Lyra no Orphee and Sagita no Tremy in the TV series). Definitely worthy of seeing.

House of Sand (Casa de Areia) (2006,  R)
House of Sand (Casa de Areia)
Wow. It has been some time since I really liked a movie. The House of Sand is beautiful, with the most impressive cinematography, a good script and great performances. It suceeds in transmitting the loneliness of the barren, inhospitable desert, with no soundtrack during all movie. All you can hear is the sound of the wind in the desert and the sand. The art direction is stunning but reminded me a bit like "The Piano", which is very good. Also I really love the contrast between long black dramatic dresses on the white moving sand. A must see.

Misery (1990,  R)
Misery
I absolutely love this one. I watched for the first time when I was a kid and now I got the chance to see it again. I started loving Kathy Bates since then. It's one of the best thrillers I've ever seen, it captures you since the beginning. The direction is brilliant, as well as the screenplay. Highly recommended!
