Amélie (Le Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain) 2001, R)
Bloody brilliant. Who would have thought a movie so strange could be so beautiful! |
|

The Corporation 2003, Unrated)
Noam Chomsky! Naomi Klein! Absolutely brilliant. |
|

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (Wo hu cang long) 2003, PG-13)
Beautiful picture. |
|

The 11th Hour 2007, PG)
I highly recommend this because it explains our current climate challenges as stemming from a leadership crisis. We need a change! (Served as my introduction to Sigur Rňs.) |

The Fifth Element 1997, PG-13)
I love action and romance combos! I want to be just like Milla. And the costumes are by Jean Paul Gaultier. Enough said. |

Finding Nemo 2003, G)
Absolutely fun! |
|

La Haine (Hate) 1995, R)
Really superb. It reminds me of SWEET SIXTEEN, with its subtitles for the kids' sociolect. There are some really--really--funny parts to punctuate the almost incessant conflict. |

The House Bunny 2008, PG-13)
Great soundtrack. This would be one of those movies I love despite the fact that many might hate it (including myself) because it flies in the face of feminism. Too bad for them; there are too many good lines to disregard it. |

I Love You, Man 2009, R)
Jason Segel in Ugg boots is an image I'll cherish forever. I also really appreciate how they allude to CHOCOLAT. However, is it really challenging homophobia? |
|

Immortal Beloved 1994, R)
I never fail to cry at the end, but I will love this movie forever. |
|
| 11 |
Love in the Afternoon 1957, G)
Well, it is such a cute little story! What will happen to Michel? |
|
| 12 |
Mary Poppins 1964, G)
A fantastic story, obviously. I love to laugh! |
|
| 13 |
The Nightmare Before Christmas 1993, PG)
How bizarre! How much fun singing those songs! |
|
| 14 |
Northanger Abbey 2007, Unrated)
Wickedly cute. |
|
| 15 |
Out of Sight 1998, R)
Could this movie be any hotter? I don't think so. Lopez and Clooney are out of sight! |
|
| 16 |
The Parole Officer 2001, R)
I laughed so hard, and Coogan is just adorable in this! |
|
| 17 |
Pride and Prejudice 2005, PG)
Keira Knightley is excellent. The scenery is beautiful. The telling is so endearing. And I just love Simon Woods! |
|
| 18 |
Run Lola Run (Lola rennt) 1998, R)
Amazing music. Wicked story. Manni's lips are gorgeous! |
|
| 19 |
The Saint 1997, PG-13)
It's got action, it's got romance, it's got Russia--it's got everything. Val Kilmer is really talented! |
|
| 20 |
Sense and Sensibility 1995, PG)
One of the happiest happy endings I can think of. |
|
| 21 |
Shaolin Soccer 2001, PG-13)
I liked the review: 'It's like THE MATRIX, KILL BILL, CROUCHING TIGER and every Jackie Chan routine combined!' Something you'd watch more than once. |
|
| 22 |
She's the Man 2006, PG-13)
You don't expect it, but it does the Shakespeare mistaken-gender humour flawlessly and makes it accessible to everyone. Favourite scene: when Sebastian proves to a whole stadium of soccer fans that he is in fact a boy! Beautiful. |
|
| 23 |
Stealing Beauty 1996, R)
Liv is really good. The setting is so romantic. The story is pretty beautiful, too. |
|
| 24 |
Superbad 2007, R)
I LOVE this movie. I literally laugh my ass off. I love Michael Cera's character better than McLovin', believe it or not. |
|
| 25 |
XXX 2002, PG-13)
Loses air by the end. But it's good for action and Rammstein music! Sometimes I wish I could be Asia Argento. Sometimes. |
