My Favorite Movies

Definitely my favourite film of all time. Everything about it is great, in my opinion. The storyline is unmatched, the soundtrack is to die for and I think the role of Eric was made for Brandon Lee. It is a great adaptation of the graphic novel, I only wish they wouldn't make sequels as they rehash the same basic story with less able actors and they're never going to be as good as the original.

The subject matter is really disturbing but the film is nothing short of incredible. Asia Argento is great as the drug addicted, prostitute mother and I like how the majority of the violence is implied, rather than shown - it almost makes it seem more real when it is shot from point of view. I can't wait to read the book.

With me being a once obsessed Kurt Cobain fan (I've calmed down a lot now!), I had to see this. The fragmented narrative is a little confusing at times and it is a very slow-paced film, but that doesn't stop it being brilliant. Michael Pitt is great in this and I love the part at the end when Blake's soul is finally free from his body.

This is such an amazing film and the soundtrack is brilliant!

One of the best films I have ever seen. It's so powerful and Mel Gibson is definitely better behind the camera than in front of it (not just beacuse I can't stand to look at him for a prolonged amount of time).

Amazing! Equally fun and depressing.

A brilliant film with a really upsetting ending - I felt depressed for the rest of the day!

Edward's appearnce, the house he lives in and the fact that he is an outcast who can never fit in are obvious works of Tim Burton. An original, beautiful, heartbreaking story that never fails to make me cry. Possibly Depp's finest role - he barely speaks throughout the whole film, allowing his eyes to express emotion, giving him an almost puppy-like appearance. My favourite scene is with the snow angel - the music fits perfectly with the almost magic-like atmosphere. A truly amazing film.

I love this and the soundtrack is amazing!

The best Disney film. Ever.

A well shot, well acted film (especially as none of the actors had any training). Shocking but brilliant.

I'd wanted to see this for ages because it's the adaptation of my favourite book. I found there were a few problems with it - the film didn't focus enough on the fact that despite having the best sense of smell, Grenouille doesn't have his own scent. Also, both the child and Ben Whishaw, who play the young and adult Grenouille are far too good-looking - in the book, he is portrayed as really ugly. However, I thought that Whishaw captured perfectly Grenouille's obsessive nature and the cinematography was brilliant, with the camera focusing on objects in a certain way, so you could almost make out their scent (especially the scene in the market). Although it is very different from the book, I still think it is a great film despite these differences. Alan Rickman was great (as ever).
