My Favorite Movies

I don't know where to start and how to stop praising this. One of the funniest and one of the most disturbing movies I've ever seen. Kubrick's direction is immaculate. Peter Seller plays three roles, all of them brilliantly.

The most underrated Tarantino movie, and the most realistic.

Superb. A flawless movie.

González Iñárritu takes the Altman parallel stories structure to new heights.

Awesome. Brilliantly shot. Great acting by people basically playing themselves.

Not for those who want an "anti-war movie". Kubrick said "I've already done one of those (Paths of Glory). This is a hard-nosed, warts'n'all grunt's-eye view.

Possibly the funniest movie of all time. Sascha Cohen doesn't miss a bit. "Quick kids, kill them before the eggs open."

Classic cop/sci-fi movie. Like an update of Clint Eastwood's man with no name, but scripted by Kafka and Mary Shelley. Murphy the cop loses everything...except his humanity. The major sub-plot is a satire on privatisation. Excellent direction by Verhoeven. Extremely violent, dark and...funny.

Ben Kingsley should have got best actor for this. As someone said his character, Don Logan, is the "anti-Gandhi",one of the most vile villains ever to hit the screen. It's an edge of the seat ride from the opening scene, where Ray Winstone suntans at his villa in Spain, until a boulder smashes down the hillside and into his pool, neatly symolising what is about to transpire when Don arrives on the scene.

Still looks magnificent, even on a small screen. Conveys the politics pretty well too and a must-see for anyone interested in modern Middle East history.
