My Favorite Movies

Ridiculously innovative. Perfectly executed.






(Christopher Nolan!) A movie is perfect, at least for me,
when there is no possible way to make it any better. In
the case of Memento, there is no imaginable way to
improve it. The movie takes the concept of the fragility
of memory, then turns it on its head, giving you a main
character with short-term memory loss looking to take
revenge on his wife's killer. Then it turns itself on its
head again, by showing the clips in reverse order so that
the beginning of the film is actually its resolution. The
end result stands upright as one of the most innovative
and highly debatable films ever made, if not the most. If
you want to watch it, I'll lend it to you.

Aronofsky manages to create the saddest, yet most hopeful, movie I have ever seen.

>>It should be shown in schools; no one could possibly use drugs after watching this movie.

ONE OF THE BEST FILMS YOU'LL EVER SEE!

It purified my precious bodily fluids.

The more I think about it, the harder it is for me to find anything wrong with it. Excellent cinematography, excellent score, excellent acting. Excellent.

Best film of 2006.

You must be gay Mr. Fincher, because you blew my mind.

While the overall message of this film is hope, the movie has a strong undercurrent of sadness throughout. The mixture of the two is a feeling rivaled only by Requiem for a Dream.

This movie oozes style.

Most beautiful movie I have ever seen; truly a feast for the eyes and the ears (thank you Clint Mansell). Watch it twice.

So what if the aliens can't touch water? Get over it, and instead focus on how stunningly everything blends together in the third act.

Darabont pulls another one out of God-knows-where!

Morgan Spurlock is a personal hero of mine.

Finally, a real victory for first-person films.

I wouldn't change a thing.

In this case, the music makes the movie. John Williams' score is fantastic. Ian Malcolm is still one of my favorite characters ever to be put on film.

Thought it was the best movie I'd ever seen the first time I watched it, but over time and with repeat viewings it becomes clear how scriptually (is that a word?) weak this movie actually is.

Inarritu's trademark disrupted timeline stoytelling is getting old. Points go to Santoalla's ricidulously good soundtrack; it IS the movie.
