Everything a movie should be.

Give Chewie a damn medal and this is the greatest movie of all time.

Again, I disagree with the masses. Popular opinion would say that this is the worst of the original three. But when Luke talks smack to Jabba, I get a major endorphin rush.

Star Wars fans love this movie and declare it as the best of the series. It's still absolutely one of the greatest movies of all time, but I think it's my least favorite of the original three. I think people just have too much of a Boba Fett-ish. Haha.

This movie makes me hungry for Italian food. But seriously though this movie sticks in my gut. I'm disgusted by the characters. I'm fascinated by the characters. I want to be a Corleone (I'd even settle for Tom Hagen or Clemenza).

I just rewatched this. Easily my favorite Disney film. Timon and Rafiki are genuinely funny. Great casting on all voices. Part of the appeal is nostalgia, but this movie is really good.

"If there was going to be a movie made about your life, who would you want to play you?" I used to think I'd answer Tom Hanks or something, but it turns out Nicolas Cage already did play me. The movie is Adaptation.

Delighfully sinful. "Don't cry."

Everything Charlie Kaufman touches is golden. I want to be John Malkovich.

Another one of the greats. Ridley Scott gets it right about every other movie. This one he got it right. Love Joaquin Phoenix in it.

I was at the Pacific Ocean last year. As I kicked off my shoes and ran in, the final scene of this movie was all i could think about. The mark it leaves is indellible.

Persona
(1966, Unrated)
Gets more astonishing every time I see it. So many layers.
|
|
| 14 |
Maybe the greatest movie ever. Tears well up everytime I think about Sam saying, "Remember the Shire Frodo..."
|
|
| 15 |
Epic.
|
|

I love the Gollum/Smeagol scene.
|
|

Others of Truffaut's best films charm because of their simple, contained stories. This one is broad and complex and still it has those personal touches that only Truffaut can deilver. The absolute greatest movie about making movies.

The title says it: Wilder shows us so many of the peculiarities and rich ironies that accompany that slow dip into the horizon. The moral of the story: Life, like Hollywood, is a death trap. Get out while you're young or you'll be a reclusive, neurotic old bitch married to a monkey.

This is Disney-Pixar's best picture.

I haven't seen this movie now for a few months. I'm developing facial ticks.

Often disturbing and rapturous in the very same instant.

"We use a large vibrating egg."

|
| 23 |
I don't know of a movie that better captures life's simple pleasures. The opening credits sequence alone was one of the most captivating pieces of cinema I've ever seen.
|
|
| 24 |
I wish my life had a zither soundtrack.

"Basketball is like poetry in motion." People laud Hoop Dreams, but this is the best movie about the greatest game. Love the Copland. Rodeo was made for a streetball game.

Shrek

"You know what else everybody likes? Parfaits. Have you ever met a person, you say, 'Let's get some parfait,' they say, 'Hell no, I don't like no damn parfait'? Parfaits are delicious."

Cuaron's filmmaking is so envigorating. It makes me want to get out there on the road.

Profoundly points out the magic, as well as the limits, of the movies.

Like nothing I've ever seen before

It wouldn't be right if I didn't post a quote from the most quotable movie of all time. "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

I now believe in fairies.

While the endless plot circles of the love triangle grew a little tiring, the combined rapidity and intimacy of Truffaut's style is something to treasure.
And if anyone knows where I can get a recording of the song that Catherine sings (also on the DVD menu screen), let me know. It's ingrained in my head and I need to exorcize it.

Kevin Spacey is the root of all evil.

"You tried to milk him, didn't you, Focker you sick son-of-a-bitch." I can't decide who's funnier in this movie, DeNiro or Stiller. And Owen Wilson is at his best and some great bit parts (the guy at the convenience store, the flight attendant, etc.)
|
|
| 35 |
Fenster's one the great bit parts in cinema. Right below Chewbacca, I think. He also ranks below Chewie in intelligiblity.
|
|
| 36 |
The most dangerous movie I've ever seen.
|
|
| 37 |
So brilliant until the so-so ending.
|
|

Isn't it right up there with breathing and eating that you have to like this movie? It's a necessity of existence isn't it?
|

"I gotta go pee now, but I'd love to continue talking about this conversation when I get back."

Love IS a burning thing.

"My father's name was Antonio Andolini...and this is for you."

Whoop...that...trick.

Wilder brings a depth to the screwball comedy that makes the genre much more than bearable. And Marilyn? Count me in with the some who like it hot. Oh, and that one henchman dude has the widest nose I've ever seen.
|

In my mind, it's the best movie Guest has directed. Harlan Pepper is his second best role (right behind Nigel Tufnel), and everyone else is pretty much at their best too. I think it's also Larry Miller's best character.
|
|

Unforgettable scene after unforgettable scene. And the best part came in the final moment.
|
|
| 46 |
One of the more evocative pieces of film ever.
