The Shawshank Redemption (1994, R)
I could watch this movie over and over, and in fact I have. My bf leaves the room in disgust whenever it comes on, as he's sick of watching it. |

Schindler's List (1993, R)
Liam Neeson's best performance. I just love the interaction between him and Ben Kingsley in this movie. I also love the little flashes of colour, in an otherwise black and white movie. |

Good Will Hunting (1997, R)
A beautiful story that always makes me cry. All of the performances are amazing, especially Robin Williams and Matt Damon. The story and plot is also wonderfully done. There are just so many memorable moments in this movie, how can it not touch you in some way? |

White Oleander (2002, PG-13)
Such a beautiful movie, with great performances. I thought it was better than the book. |

Stephen King's The Stand (, Unrated)
Very good adaption of one of Stephen King's longest novels. Doing it as a miniseries meant they could keep a lot more of the material in the movie, which is wonderful. There's a whole bunch of well known actors in here, and they all do a great job. Jamey Sheridan especially does a great job as Randall Flagg, one of King's best villains ever. |

Stand by Me (1986, R)
One of the best Stephen King movies out there, also I'm sure not everyone realizes it's his work, just because there's no blood and gore. Classic lines, classic music, classic scenes, classic characters, what else do you need? A wonderful story about friendship and getting older and life. |

Cube (1998, R)
I love this movie, it's one of the best Canadian movies ever! It is so claustrophobic and creepy, and I love seeing how the characters act while their trapped together. |

Perfume: The Story of a Murderer (2006, R)
So gorgeous and breathtaking, I could not take my eyes away from this movie. It is just so vivid and lush and full of life you can almost taste it, smell it and touch it yourself. The characters and acting are superb, and the plot moves you along at a brisk pace. The ending blew me away, I was not expecting it at all. I don't really understand it, but I'm sure with more viewings it would become clearer to me. I would totally recommend this movie to all my friends |
