My Favorite Movies

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

A lovely film directed by Alfonso Cuaron.
This film touches your heart with superb acting by a convincing Liesel Matthews who tells her imaginative stories to overcome hardships.
This is an inspiring film that will leave you thought-provoked long after it has finished.
Complimented by beautiful music and script Alfonso Cuaron has created an astonishing film suitable for all ages.
Highly reccomended.

An ageless classic story about family.
A beautiful and inspiring movie that will touch your heart.
definately worth a see.
it's a very moving film.

its not your mainstream sort of movie. so if your looking for that sort of film don't watch this.
but in saying so i really enjoyed this film even though it was spanish with subtitles.
The costuming is suberb and the atmosphere of the film is suspenseful.
you need an imagination to watch it and there are some gruesome parts.
Its a fairy tale for adults.

An absolutely brilliant, beautiful film.
I'm disappointed in the reviews and lack of acknowledgement for this film.
Despite critics stating this movie has "bad acting" i beg to differ. Holly, (Hilary Swank) plays a convincing main role the only let down is her mother (Kathy Bates).
This film is inspirational and heartwarming, i love the plot and i love cecilia ahern's novels (highly reccomend them).
This is a film i will not forget, that will stay with me for years to come.
For the teary people out there, bring a box of tissues.
The film is cleverly mixed with drama and light comedy that surely will keep you entertained throughout the entire feature.
Without a doubt this film is the best romantic drama/comedy I have seen, I highly reccomend it.
I will be buying the DVD.

An absolutely stunning film.
Sean Penn's acting is outstanding and highly believable along with Michelle Pfieffer and a very talented Dakota Fanning.
A touching film that questions if a disabled father can legally raise his own daughter.
A realistic film about love, family and the strong bond between a parent and his daughter.
Complimented by beatles music be sure to bring the box of tissues.
Highly reccomended

great, thought-provoking film.

it has a great twist and even me telling you so you won't pick it.

thats one of the highlights of this movie it keeps you wondering after it finishes.

Cleverly written script and thought out story-line. Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale play a terrific performance..

thoroughly reccomended.

"the heart is the body's strongest muscle"

This film is not straight forward like your mainstream film. It is imaginative and uses a combination of tecnhiques that truely make this film unique. Thurman is outstanding as the older, pensive Diana, and Wood perhaps even better as the self-confident, rebellious younger version. Perelman's direction captures the dreamy lyricism contrasting with a sometimes brutal realism. I found this to be a truely moving film & i took a lot away from it. I'll be buying the dvd.

I have always been a fan of arnold schwaznegger films and this has to be one of his best.
Packed full of on the edge of your seat moments, this is one of my all time favourite action films.
Although not realistic this film uses the concept of man vs machine which inevitably isn't too farfetched.
I highly reccomend this if you haven't already watched it.

What an amazing, moving true story!
I absolutely loved it and thoroughly reccomend it to anyone considering watching this film.
Johnny Depp is exceptional within his role and because this film focuses so closely upon his role the character building does this film wonders which also plays on the audience's empathy. the plot and script is just outstanding & the entire length of the film will keep you intruiged waiting for what happens next, an excellently constructed and shot film.

This is ineveitably cliched as a "chick flick" but nevertheless this i found to be one of my favourite films.

The holiday is a film about different types of love. As Iris (Kate Winslet) quotes from the film.

"Most love stories are about people who fall in love with each other. But what about the rest of us? What about our stories, those of us who fall in love alone? We are the victims of the one sided affair."

From the very beginning and onwards from this introduction the holiday overwrites any means of a b grade, predictable film.

I would reccomend this to people who have expeienced, love lost or faded, love found and/or a one sided kind of love. It is a heartwarming film that will put a smile on your face and leave you satisfied. Superb acting.

Definately worth a watch.

Excellent film. It is definately worth a see.. it has everything a good movie should posess. Best of all *spoiler* it has a good twist that you won't see coming.
overall a clever, well-thought out plot that is in my eyes very successful. One of my favourites.

Although I haven't watched this film in years I still remember how it moved me.
It is a very touching story about friendship a subject not enough films are based around.

I really enjoyed this adventure anime film..
It has a great storyline. It is unique, interesting and enjoyable to watch.

As the movie progresses and the audience gains an understanding of the situation you see through slim's (jennifer lopez) perspective of how her life changed so dramatically and immediately attach yourself to her good nature and interest in her child's well-being. The unjust act that causes heartbreak mixed with anxiety and anger leads to revenge that rightfully belongs to Slim.
Its an enjoyable watch that cleverly involves the audience in an "on the edge of your seat" way. It's believable, realistic and shows how women can stand up to men.
I'd consider this film more of an action/drama with suspense thrown in.
It's definately worth a see, its an excellent film.

A realistic view of the life of a japanese girl forced into the life as a geisha.
Beautiful film, touching and inspiring.

I loved it.
can't believe it didn't get many good reviews.
Its a unique fairy tale that is an entertaining romantic/adventure.
This film has mystical atmosphere and a great mixture of light humour.
Worth a see.

i loved this film.
Johnny Depp was made for the role of Jack sparrow, he makes the film. Its a witty movie for a range of audiences it has good action/fight seens, it'ssuspenseful and enjoyable to watch.

I watched this film again the other day and realised how well this film was set out.
The way the plot comes together leaving the audience curious to begin with yet tying in all the uncertainties effectively creates an interesting watch. the concept doesn't cease to intrigue me.

I love this film mainly for the contrasting, yet realistic characters and the portrayal of a sister bond between a pair of opposite people.
Searching for their identity in the world linked together by a reunited visit with a long lost grandmother. The girls learn to appreciate family and what they have.
Lovely film with great light humour.

I really love the atmosphere of Tim Burton's films. With accompanying Johnny Depp & Danny Elfman Tim Burton creates yet another original piece.
The movie gives the audience a sense of sympathy but also compassion towards edward..
the ending was a bit abrupt but it was a well made, superb movie.
its worth seeing.

A really good movie.
we're studying it in english at the moment and i have picked up on interesting techniques of the film.
for example when the twins push truman against the billboard each morning they are meaning to advertise the product ad in the poster box.
It really is a well thought out film and it has a great concept.
Its easy to watch and keeps you intrigued.
Overall a very well made film, worth a see.

This film astounded me it managed to gain nearly every possible emotion from me, as the audience.. it provokes empathy, frustration, contentment etc.
Great qualities a movie should hold.
Adam Sandler suits the main character and adds to the light humour.
reccomended.

The labyrinth to me, is an unforgetable, unaging film of imagination.
The film combines the highest standards of art, costume, and set decoration.

awesome movie its definatly on the edge of your seat.
Good plot.. pitty it came out about the same time as Flight plan because i think people assumed red eye would be a take off but its not.
Its great and worth a see

Halarious film, i absolutely loved it and haven't watched a film like this is a while.
I was disappointed in the critical reviews it recieved because this movie is very entertaining, cleverly written & casted.
Only jack black could pull off the panda.
I was intriuged throughout the entire film and i overall thoroughly enjoyed it.
I will be buying the dvd.

I'm watching this film in english at the moment and I must say its a very good film. The storyline & idea of institutions in a negative sense reminds me of the shawshank redemption. This film overall is an interesting, believable watch with good acting from the entire cast. Its suspense entices you to watch on intruiged to what may happen next, but best of all and most sad of all this story is based on a true story.

fabulous thriller!
yes it is also a horror and it earns that title with a few gorey bits but not overly so to destroy the movie.
Jumpy scenes steal the show.
Thrillers,horrors and suspenses are hard to not fall under a B grade category but this movie is not one of those.
worth a see for those who like the odd scarey movie..
and for those wondering if it has any plot, it does.

really good film.
[revenge]
Its one of those films where the characters personalities are built up well and you can't help but see through their perspective and feel what they feel.. a good quality.
Its a film thats better consentrated on to understand the plot but its not a real thinking sort of movie.
overall its worth a see if you haven't seen it already.

This was an excellent movie. It was creative and had a unique story-line.
With an open mind this movie is great for all ages except intense themes make it not so suitable for younger children (in my opinion).
It appears to be a fantasy and it is but its a combination of drama and adventure as well.
You may find yourself a bit teary a quality i found the movie to portray well to the audience.
It's not your average "kids' movie" as i said its enjoyable for all ages.
i reccomend it.

A beautiful and touching love story that will stay with you for a long time.
The use of cinematography, choice of actors (esp. Rachel McAdams) and use of dialogue has enhanced this film to a classic.
this film is remarkably realistic in certain aspects which the audience can relate to.
I thouroughly reccomend it.

Really good darma..
well constructed plot and interesting to follow..

great chick flick,
hallarious feel good comedy
that will definately put a smile on your face.

The most intriguing aspect of this film is the plot. It is so ubelievably unpredictable and clever, this is why this is one of my top films. Otherwise this film is neither outstanding or poor ineveitably it is just an enjoyable to watch the plot unravel.

love this film.
inspired me to take go into the path of my career aspiration.
