Lost In Translation 2003, R)
I liked the pace and how well it captures the bewilderment and awe of westerners in Tokyo |
|
| 2 |
Closer 2004, R)
There are many reasons to like this film. Most of them involve Natalie Portman. Some of them relate to its pathos. Then there is the sound track ... hats off to Damien Rice. |
|
| 3 |
Brazil 1985, R)
1984 done when 1984 was a fantasy rather than a ghoulish reality. |
|
| 4 |
Confidence 2003, R)
Nice twists. |
|
| 5 |
Pulp Fiction 1994, R)
When I saw this medical staff were attending to people outside the cinema. I think it was the scene with the adrenalin needle which did it. |

| 6 |
Apollo 13 1995, PG)
Nerds on steroids. Kewl. |
|
| 7 |
Pot Luck (L'Auberge Espagnole)(Euro Pudding)(The Spanish Apartment) , R)
Ah, Barcelona. Who couldn't love this film? |
|
| 8 |
Vanilla Sky 2001, R)
Ok, I mainly like this because I like Penelope. So, sue me. |
|
| 9 |
Nine Queens (Nueve reinas) 2001, R)
Excellent film. The ending was so good, I had to laugh at how well they had conned me. |
|
| 10 |
The Last Supper 1996, R)
Like a bottle of fine dry white wine. |
|
| 11 |
Touching the Void 2003, R)
A testament to the endurance of the human spirit, particularly with respect to Simpons' categorical rejection of religious belief at a moment of extreme existential stress. |
|
| 12 |
Proof 1991, R)
I remember I enjoyed it at the time, mainly out of a sense of parochial pride. Now, I like it mainly for the blind driving scene. |
|
| 13 |
Elephant 2003, R)
|
|
| 14 |
Bagdad Cafe 1987, PG)
Loved this film, particularly the sound track when it first came out. For a long time, it was my favourite film. |
|
| 15 |
Lantana 2001, R)
Lugubrious, but well done, nonetheless. |
|
| 16 |
The Bank 2001, Unrated)
Well made. |
|
| 17 |
Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels 1999, R)
|
|
| 18 |
Dixie Chicks: Shut Up and Sing 2006, R)
Even if John Safran is right and their choice was between a $200M a year lifestyle and a $20M a year lifestyle, you have gotta give these girls credit for defying the political orthodoxy. Good on ya' girls! |
|
| 19 |
Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind 2004, R)
Ah, if only it were possible. |
|
| 20 |
Little Miss Sunshine 2006, R)
Mildy amusing throughout, but the finale is worth waiting for. |
|
| 21 |
Paris, Texas 1983, R)
What, Natasha doesn't even get a credit. Come on! |
|
| 22 |
The Castle 1997, R)
A fine tribute to the Australian character we'd all like to believe was typical. |
|
| 23 |
The Spanish Prisoner 1997, PG)
An excellent exemplar of its genre. Worth a second look. |
|
| 24 |
Hard Candy 2005, R)
A rather uncomfortable start with a morally redemptive end. |
|
| 25 |
Broken Flowers 2005, R)
I loved Lost in Translation and was looking forward to this on account of that. Unfortunately, I thought Murray gave a very exaggerated caricature of his performance in Lost In Translation and that grated a bit. |

Control 2007, R)
