| 1 |
The Hours 2002, PG-13)
Not for everyone, but has much to say in terms of art and mortality. Intricate and beautiful. |
|
| 2 |
First Knight 1995, PG-13)
My favorite kissing scene! |
|
| 3 |
Butterflies Are Free 1972, PG)
Cute and witty. A must-see for anyone with hippie-blood. |
|
| 4 |
Cold Mountain 2003, R)
An over-all great film. Romance, drama, action, and history all rolled into one. Plus Kidman looks amazing! |
|
| 5 |
Practical Magic 1998, PG-13)
A little cheesy in parts. A work of art. Beautiful, magical, and charming. |
|
| 6 |
Eyes Wide Shut 1999, R)
Screwed up. Interesting psychological commentary. Poses important questions concerning fidelity. |
|
| 7 |
The Mists of Avalon 2001, Unrated)
An Arthurian drama worthy of a watch. Anyone who has read Bradley's novels will appreciate it. Very pagan in tone. |
|
| 8 |
Stephen King's It 1990, Unrated)
A classic. Scared me to death as a child. Actually quite a funny flick. |
|
| 9 |
Stealing Beauty 1996, R)
Very different. Filmed in Italy. Very beautiful and poetic. Concerned with sexuality and coming of age. Raw and real. |
|
| 10 |
Kickboxer 1989, R)
It's van Damme! |
|
| 11 |
Clash of the Titans 1981, PG)
Now this is an old one. Chocked full of Greek mythology and claymation! |
|
| 12 |
The Tempest 1979, R)
|
|
| 13 |
Tempest 1982, PG-13)
|
|
| 14 |
Under the Tuscan Sun 2003, PG-13)
Fun, beautiful, if slightly unrealistic. Makes you want to go to Italy. |
|
| 15 |
Kukushka (The Cuckoo) 2002, PG-13)
Foreign flick. Slow in the beginning, but worth the watch. |
|
| 16 |
The Shining 1980, R)
Creepy. Artfully directed. The human mind as a labyrinth, easy to become entangled within. |
|
| 17 |
Forrest Gump 1994, PG-13)
This movie's got it all! |
|
| 18 |
Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus 2006, R)
Bizarre, strange, and no one but me will probably like it. Nevertheless, it is derived from myth and worthy of praise! |
|
| 19 |
Ever After: A Cinderella Story 1998, PG-13)
Beautiful, funny, and poetic. A must-see for any Renaissance or Thomas More fan. |
|
| 20 |
Romeo + Juliet 1996, PG-13)
A modern take on Shakespeare's tragedy. A commentary on the transformative power of love. |
|
| 21 |
Shakespeare in Love 1998, R)
An interesting view on Shakespeare, if a bit historically inaccurate (there is proof that many of Will's sonnets were addressed to a young man, not a woman). Another great Renaissance flick. |
|
| 22 |
Stage Beauty 2004, R)
Concerned with the end of the Renaissance and the period of Restoration in the history of English theatre. Only fans of these topics will appreciate it. |
|
| 23 |
Brokedown Palace 1999, PG-13)
Creepy. I'll probably never go to Thailand now. Great actors! |
|
| 24 |
Inventing the Abbotts 1997, R)
Set in the 50s. Great vintage appeal. Didn't like the main character, but it's worth a watch. |
|
| 25 |
The Secret Garden 1993, PG)
A favorite childhood movie full of beauty, wonder, and magic. |
|
| 26 |
A Little Princess 1995, G)
A charming childhood movie. |
|
