My Favorite Movies

Hannah and Her Sisters (1986, PG-13)
This is a perfect movie. Script, acting, cinematography on a small budget, and (unusual for a Woody Allen flick) EVERYONE ends up happy. |

Jaws (1975, PG)
Why 5 stars? Because it's got great storytelling, great archetypical (yet lively) characters, engrossing suspense, a trio of awesome actors (though reyfuss is certainly annoying), and who can forget that score? (Now, if only they could have made a 3-D remake...what?) |

The Verdict (1982, R)
Unbelievably great. In my humble opinion, this is Newman's best work, and James Mason is fantastic. Add a Mamet script and Lumet direction, and this is one of my top 10. Easy. |

Amelie (Le Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain) (2001, R)
Loved this movie so much that I chose the setting of one of the scenes as the place I proposed to my wife (now don't tell that ho that i got the idea from a movie...) |

Pride and Prejudice (2005, PG)
One of those movies that is so well acted and well-paced that, if I come across it while flipping premium channels, I stop and watch it. |

It's a Wonderful Life (1946, Unrated)

The Great Dictator (1940, G)
A masterpiece of both Chaplin's signature physical comedy and his sensitive commitment to making his art stand for something bigger than himself. |
|
| 18 |
Crimes and Misdemeanors (1989, PG-13)
My comments have really sucked today, so i'll just come out and say it: masterful. |
