Children of Men 2006, R)

|
| 15 |
Breakfast at Tiffany's 1961, PG)
I love you Audrey Hepburn. |
|
| 16 |
Vertigo 1958, PG)
Psycho is still, in my opinion, Hitchcock's strongest work, but Vertigo comes in a close second. |
|
| 17 |
A Clockwork Orange 1971, R)
Ultraviolence?? Yeah... that wasn't a word until this movie came out. |
|
| 18 |
Mulholland Drive 2001, R)
The best in the long line of great works from David Lynch. |
|
| 19 |
Adaptation 2002, R)
Trying to explain this movie is like breathing underwater. Simply amazing in it's complexity as a script. |
|
| 20 |
Monster House 2006, PG)
The closest I am ever going to get to an old-fashioned kid's movie from the 80's. |
|
| 21 |
American Beauty 1999, R)
A great film in the vein of Wild Strawberries. A disfunctional look at suburban life and how to try and turn a mid-life crisis upside down. |
|
| 22 |
The Frighteners 1996, R)
A horror movie that doesn't forsake a good story in place of scares... or vice versa. |
|
| 23 |
Open Range 2003, R)
A new addition to a dying genre. Fun. |
|
| 24 |
The Shining 1980, R)
A horror movie with atmosphere and old school acting chops... and I am not talking about Shelley Duvall. |
|
| 25 |
Magnolia 1999, R)
Hands down one of the best movies ever made. |
|
| 26 |
Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind 2004, R)
Everything involved in this movie was simply amazing. An instant classic! |
|
| 27 |
V for Vendetta 2006, R)
Simply the greatest comic adaptation ever! Expertly done. |
|
| 28 |
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou 2004, R)
In my opinion the most range that Wes Anderson has shown as a director while maintaining his quirky vibe. |
|
| 29 |
Heat 1995, R)
One of the greatest action films to ever cross paths with my eyeballs. |
|
| 30 |
Toy Story 1995, G)
One of the first forays into cg animation and still in my opinion one of the most succesful ones. |
|
| 31 |
Before Sunset 2004, R)
A great movie with nothing but talking and walking around Paris. Trust. |
|
| 32 |
Little Children 2006, R)
Kinda on the nose characters put in a soap opera situation, but the direction, acting, and that damned awesome narration make this one of the best films I saw last year. |
|
| 33 |
Friday the 13th, Part VI - Jason Lives 1986, R)
The no-holds-barred of all of the 13th flicks! Amazing in it's ballet of gratuitous violence! |
