I am a movie buff, i love films and the hidden meanings behind them. I like to take things away from films, even if it is a simple moral or message. My favourite type of film is one with a unique plot with unpredictability that makes you think long after it has finished. I enjoy a range of genres from horrors to romantic dramas and everything in between. In saying that my preferred genres at the moment are thrillers and true story based films. I also love alternative films such as pans labyrinth and mirrormask, my other favourite films are listed below. 
If you've read this so far then thank you kudos to you :) i'll now assume you'll read what i'm purely here for and that is friends to rate films with, i'm not here for any other reason. if i add you its because i've stumbled upon a person i wish to reccomend and rate films with or your movie taste has intruiged me. Other than movies my other interests are art, creative writing, reading, running, the beach, family & friends, the simple things in life, camping, adventures and travelling. I hope to travel at the end of the year for now im taking each day as it comes.  |

V for Vendetta
R
This is an outstanding film I really cannot think of a concept as good as this (in my eyes) in a film. The characters are casted excellently and play the roles as if the film had actually happened in reality. The scripts are so emotional yet clever and witty. At first this film may appear to you overwhelming, over-the-top but its just one of those films with a deeper surface than most, that needs to be absorbed. Its a movie you could watch over again and pick up things you missed out on the first time round. Its believeable in a sense that we can actually relate on a smaller scale to the power in which governemnt feel they have over their people... they really have made a unique film and in my opinion successfully made a classic. Its full of action, drama and romance and hopefully it will astound you as much as it did to me.

MirrorMask
PG
This film gained the position as my alltime favourite generally because from the very start to the very end its creative flair never ceases. The imagination put into this film is complimented by the amazing use of graphics. Stephanie Leonidas plays the main role spectacularly along with the rest of the cast. The atmosphere and mystical mood of the film left me hanging intrigued and curious til the end. Dave Mckean has made this film also to have an interprutable hidden meaning just as an artist does with his or her work. This to me is an excellent film, its individualism and differentiality makes this film an even better watch.

The Count of Monte Cristo
PG-13
This movie is revenge at it's best. This is a story of the deciet and betrayal an honest man endures and the revenge that unravels to claim the love that was wrongly taken from him. Although at a disadvantage of not being able to compare this to the book, this is an excellent film! As the characters are introduced you immediately grow to understand the likeable character Edmond Dantes for his genuine, honest and loyal characteristics. As the unjust acts his "best friend" unfold against this innocent man, revenge becomes a way for Dantes to hold on for hope and that one day he may claim back what was wrongly taken away from him. The entire film will keep you intrigued, holding on to what happens next. The characters have been excellently cast, suiting their roles like no other could. Definately worth a see.

The Shawshank Redemption
R
This film is powerful, poignant, thought-provoking and challenging like no other. Having been wrongly convicted of murdering both his wife and her lover, Andy Dufresne is sentenced to two life sentences, and is sent to the notoriously harsh Shawshank Prison. What makes this film so suberb is the message it conveys. It is one of eternal hope, a message we all can relate to. The film also manages to succeed at greater things than simply entertaining. Overall it is a compelling drama, and a very moving film, perfectly written, acted and shot. They just don't come much better than this.

Kill Bill: Volume 1
R
An outstanding film and in my opinion Quentin Tarantino's finest. Uma thurman plays her role excellently and convinces the audience where empathy should lie depsite her background. The film is a cleverly written story of revenge and the fight uma puts up to kill each of her betrayers. Complimented with dramtic lighting & arty techniques the violence of this film is enjoyable in a sense to watch. I thoroughly reccomend it.
6.
The Nightmare Before Christmas (The Nightmare Before Christmas in Disney Digital 3-D)
PG
Arguably Tim Burtons best film. An enlighting, imaginative tale of unlikely yet likeable, dark characters of halloween town. The protagonist Jack Skellington, tired of the same old routine of scaring, discovers a new type of holiday, christmas. A very well animated film, this is stop motion animation at its best. Enjoyable, catchy music even for those who aren't particularly fond of musicals. Very highly reccomended.

The Seventh Seal (Det Sjunde inseglet)
by FabioA masterpiece. No doubt about it.
It was my first Bergman film, and I was a bit anxious, as his works are considered difficult, and deeply psychological.
And it's true, but this one has such an amazing mood that you're in it within few minutes.
Some of the images will stay in your mind forever.
In few words one of the most profound and important films I've ever seen.Hey, you should really see this!
