The Passion of the Christ (2004, R)
One of the best religious films ever! Mel Gibson did great. This one is overwhelming with sadness and emotion. After I watched this, I realized more deeply the sacrifices Jesus did and the pain he suffered just to save us from our sins. This is such a brilliant film about Christ. There are a lot of sad films in which I also felt the emotion of those masterpieces but this is the only film that made tears rush down my cheeks. |

Forrest Gump (1994, PG-13)
This is a phenomenal film about a dumb man, since birth, who made his life extraordinary. A man who was often ridiculed but showed them what he got, gained and lose things and people he loved along the way, and loved Jenny the most unconditional way ever. This is a very excellent film. No wonder it won both best picture and best actor, together with other 4 awards making those 6 oscar wins for this. |

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007, R)
This is one of Tim Burton's best film ever. This is also one of Johnny Depp's best film ever. This is very sad and touching. The cast, director, effects editor, music, story, set and costumes were all great. And the thing I loved most about this is its ending. Its ending is the best and saddest ending this movie could ever have. This is unquestionably magnificent. This is truly a masterpiece. |

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005, PG)
A really awesome film with great imagination, brilliant story, awesome cast, good dialogues, jaw-dropping set and a legendary director. Everybody, both on-screen and off-screen personnel, did a really great job. Johnny Depp was stunningly great, as usual. But every time he does a film, he still surprises his audience. And of course, the great man behind the cameras, Tim Burton. Good tandem, huh? Sadly Helena Bonham Carter was just seen for a very short while, and still she was good. |

Life Is Beautiful (La Vita è bella) (1998, PG-13)
A very beautiful film. It is one of the best 'best pictures' ever. It does not solely focuses on the situation of Jews during World War 2 but instead, it focuses on how much you are willing to give for those who matters to you the most and the faith to make it through. It has a very melancholic ending and at the same time, full of hope for a new beginning. This film will be cherished forever. |

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004, PG)
This is so much better than the first two. Everything was undoubtedly great! This film is flawless. I loved everything about it. It's amazing. It has improved a lot. Every little thing from start to finish are far off better than the first two. The first two were brilliant, but this is much more. I never knew that I'd live to see this. I don't know what else to say. I'm deeply impressed by this film. Words will never be enough to express its brilliance. |

Up (2009, PG)
This is the best animated film I've seen for all of my life! I totally loved it. It got good shots of drama, comedy and adventure. It's a film every one would surely enjoy. The concept, the animation, the storyline, the characters. All were totally awesome. The story was really touching from every aspect and, at the same time, never losing its comedic side. The way Ellie and Carl loved each other deeply touched my heart. Although it's just an animation, the film can fully connect to the audience's emotions. From the moment they met to the last moment of the film, it is completely evident that Carl loved Ellie with all his heart and is very sentimental about the moments they shared. Ellie was also really sweet, especially after it was shown that what she put on her adventure book was all about her relationship with Carl. Russell, as a cute little boy, also has his own principles and dignity he's willing to fight for until the end. This film got colorful and wonderful characters, and was able to mix them right. I fully believe that this has a great chance for winning the best animated film this upcoming Oscars. When people ask me what my favorite animated film is, Up would surely be the answer. |
