A love poem to the classic rock of the 70's. Obviously a very personal film for Cameron Crowe to make. It's the only film I know that actually transports you to that time and every time I watch it, I don't want to leave that world. Easily one of my favorite films, it gets better with each viewing.
The best film ever made about heroin addiction. Also one of the best films of the 90's. The narration at the beginning of the film is one of the best in film history.
It's too bad Peter Bogdanovich ruined his career because for a period in the seventies, he was a master. This film is wonderful proof of that. Funny, charming and some of the best black and white photography I've ever seen. A loving tribute to a bygone era. It's impossible not to fall in love with Paper Moon.
The most beautiful film I've ever seen. It's what I call pure cinema. Very little dialogue. This film was told almost entirely through visuals. You never seen skies look like that.
A deeply emotional film that will shake you to your core. Also one of those rare films that you think about for weeks after you've seen it. Easily my favorite film of 2006.
My favorite Noir film. Nicholson is great in it and Roman Polanski directs it perfectly. Robert Townes script should be studied by every future filmmaker, this is how you tell a story. "Forget it Jake, It's Chinatown."
One of my favorite films of the 90's. One of the greatest casts ever assembled. Alot of people have criticized Oliver Stone for putting his own conspiracy theories in the film. But you know what it's a filmmakers medium and he has a compeling argument. That aside it's a film thats great in every aspect. The editing and cinematography have been copied numerous times since it's release but they have yet to be used as effectively as they were in JFK. If you haven't seen this film do yourself a favor and run out and get a copy.
A completely visceral movie going experience. Oliver Stone throws every cinematic trick he has into this crazy experiment. And it works. I have yet to see a film as balls to the wall crazy as this one. I love it.
A perfect film. If you didn't know better you would think it was a film made in the 70's. In fact this film could easily fit in with all the great films from the golden age of the 70's. David Fincher can do no wrong. In my mind it is tied with "There Will Be Blood" as the best film of 2007.
This is one of my all time favorite films. Out of all the teenage films ever made this one speaks the most truth. It's every teenage boy's dream come true. Sometimes you just have to say...Fuck It!
Wong Kar Wai finally makes his transition to America. Does it work? Yes it does. Has the look and feel of his other films. I really got wrapped up in the world he created for this film. Kar Wai's warped version of Americana is beautiful. A perfect date movie. And don't listen to what other people say, Norah Jones doesn't ruin this film.
