No matter how good a movie is I can never give them a full 5 stars.. Somehow there's always a flaw in every movie.

Before Sunset 2004,  R)
Before Sunset
I'm speechless..
This movie is just so....amazing.
2
Malena 2000,  R)
Malena
This might sound weird but this is the first movie that made me to start paying attention about European cinema, call me late, but hey fuck you too. Malena is one of the best coming-of-age movie I've ever seen, in fact it's very underrated. Critic loves Tornatore's Cinema Paradiso more, but this is just as good as Cinema Paradiso. Ennio Morricone's scores just never fail to impress me. Monica Bellucci is the star of this movie, in fact, SHE is the movie. Giuseppe Sulfaro portrayal of little boy obsessed with the town's most hated woman is also unforgettable. I could watch this movie over and over again and still loves every second of it.

Tokyo Story (Tôkyô monogatari) 1953,  Unrated)
Tokyo Story (Tôkyô monogatari)
It doesn't need too many problems or complicated stuff to make a great drama, Ozu has proven that he can make one of the best drama with very simple lifelike family matter. It doesn't try to be melancholic but we as the viewer can feel the melancholy feeling. This movie sure will leave some something after you watch it.
4
Revolutionary Road 2008,  R)
Revolutionary Road
This is one of the best movie of the year. This is the first movie that makes me don't even care about the story (which is quite depressing) and just watched the two main casts' acting... Leonardo diCaprio deserves a fucking Oscar for his amazing performance here (Kate already got it). I can feel the deep sadness and emptiness from both of them. What a comeback from world's most favorite couple. Definitely a must watch.

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes! 2009,  PG)
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes!
Never in my life had I watched such ridiculous movie, not until I watched this movie.. This is by far the stupidest movie I've ever seen.. but I really had great time, it's fucking hilarious and the songs.. Jesus Christ...

Dead of Night 1945,  R)
Dead of Night
Totally awesome, love all the story esp the first and the last story about the ventriloquist. man, this movie is just beyond its time.. even for today's standard, this movie still scare the crap out of me...
7
Village of the Damned 1960,  R)
Village of the Damned
This sci-fi horror is way too underrated. The first scene where everybody fainted is my fave scene and I always love all the scene with the pack of blonde kids, these kids created the horror atmosphere that I like when I watch movie like this.
8
Cinema Paradiso (Nuovo Cinema Paradiso) 1988,  R)
Cinema Paradiso (Nuovo Cinema Paradiso)
another great movie from Tornatore.. It was really sad love story... all casts are great, love the young Toto...
9
Metropolis 1927,  PG-13)
Metropolis
Some people call this overrated, I call them stupid.
All the beautiful and spectacular scenes just amazed me, I mean they made that shit almost 100 years ago!? seriously? Fritz Lang was sure man of a vision, he made great movies and his Metropolis is my fave of all time. I love the big set, the symbolism, the iconic Babel tower and that Vampire robot, that's what I call classic!
10
History of Rock 'N' Roll 2004,  Unrated)
History of Rock 'N' Roll
I love this documentary!
I gave it very high rating not because the director or the technique are great, it's because I LOVE ROCK N ROLL! I love all the songs featured here, from Beach Boys' Surfer Girl to The Ronettes' Be my Baby!

Dustin Hoffman kicks ass.
13
The Shawshank Redemption 1994,  R)
The Shawshank Redemption
One of the best cheer up movie ever made. Morgan Freeman's narration is one of the key to this movie's greatness and along with Tim Robbin's amazing acting. and I love that old man Brooks with his heartbreaking story, it's a shame they didn't win any Oscar. The tagline for this movie: sweetest revenge rules..

18
Moulin Rouge! 2001,  PG-13)
Moulin Rouge!
Baz Luhrmann's best movie ever. He reached the peak of his directing skill in this movie. He just successfully combining all genre of music from soul, pop, rock to classic, the set is also amazing, it's big, colorful and luxuriously beautiful. Ewan McGregor might not be a great singer but I just love him, and Nicole Kidman can never look more elegant. Two words to sum up this movie: Spectacular! Spectacular!

40
Citizen Kane 1941,  PG)
Citizen Kane
Now I see why AFI put this movie on their top of the list of the best movie. This is a true masterpiece. Orson Welles was a genius.. I can't believe this movie was made in 1941! This is for sure beyond its time. The story and acting are superb! For sure this will be in my fave movie list.
41
The Reader 2008,  R)

The General 1926,  Unrated)

Seriously, Charlie Chaplin got nothing on Buster Keaton when it comes to dangerous stunt... I was gonna give this 4 stars but the train falling down from the burning bridge was unbelieable.. so I have to add another half star.

67
From the Journals of Jean Seberg 1995,  Unrated)
From the Journals of Jean Seberg
Now this is an interesting documentary, Mark Rappaport decided to get another actress to play Jean Seberg and we see the story based on first person point of view, it's like reading Seberg's journal, maybe that's why they call it from the Journal of Jean Seberg. Unlike the usual star's documentary, this one doesn't focus only in Jean's life, it also covers many things from other actress' careers (Jane Fonda & Vanessa Redgrave) to French's New Wave (Jean was the star of Godard's Breathless, one of the pioneer in French's New Wave). As for Jean Seberg's life itself, the life that she had was a pretty tough one, not so successful career, her nervous breakdown problem and even her issue with the FBI. Mary Beth Hurt was also brilliant and she resembles Seberg a lot.

fun fact: Mary Beth Hurt was also born in Marshalltown, Iowa, in 1948, attended the same high school as Seberg, and Seberg had been her babysitter.

Kiraware Matsuko no isshô (Memories of Matsuko) 2006,  Unrated)

"Okay, here's the shot out of the cannon: Oprah, Barbara Walters, your wife. You gotta fuck one, marry one, kill one, go! "

"You have the voice of an angel. Your voice is like a combination of Fergie and Jesus."
