My Favorite Movies
| cthonus's Rating | My Rating | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Dune 1984, PG-13)
Flawed, yes; faithful, no. But it still remains a marvellous attempt to film an almost impossible story. |
|
| 2 |
The Matrix 1999, R)
|
|
| 3 |
Gladiator 2000, R)
Almost faultless |
|
| 4 |
Apocalypse Now 1979, R)
"Charlie don't surf!". Probably Coppola at his flawed best. A mesmerising account of war and the horrors of war for the acid generation. |
|
| 5 |
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring 2001, PG-13)
I can't single out one of the trilogy above another: it must stand as a whole, breathtaking in scope. |
|
| 6 |
Spider-Man 2002, PG-13)
Probably one of the best comic book to screen adapations. Witty, wry and poignant in turns it never fails to deliver. |
|
| 7 |
Urbania 2000, R)
In a landscape of excess Futterman is a study in melancholia. Worth watching for his performance alone. |
|
| 8 |
El Mar 2003, Unrated)
Heartrendingly bloody. Death, sex, politics, religion and unrequited love. |
|
| 9 |
The Black Cat 1934, Unrated)
Who these days could produce a film where the leading characters are named Vitus Verdegast and Hjalmar Poelzig? |
|
| 10 |
Grande École 2003, Unrated)
A wonderfully philosophical film about lust the way only the French can do. |
|
| 11 |
Good Bye, Lenin 2002, R)
At times both funny and sad. |
