The Silence of the Lambs (1991, R)
The closest I know to perfection in filmmaking. The best movie of the 90s. |
|
| 2 |
Before Sunset (2004, R)
Relationship for the mature and bittersweet. Profound and unforgettable. |
|
| 3 |
Before Sunrise (1995, R)
A movie that changed my life forever. |

The Age of Innocence (1993, PG)
Scorsese films love more violently than his gangster pictures. |

Visconti's view on love, life, art and beauty. |

| 10 |
Back to the Future Part II (1989, PG)
The best of the series - adventure, comedy and a little meditation on the nature of our actions. |
|
| 11 |
Moulin Rouge! (2001, PG-13)
The best movie of the decade until now. Pastiche, a variety of references, parody and at the same time, so original. It's a musical with a 'romantic' (the 19th century term) feeling, but also the most contemporary American film in a long long time. |
