My Favorite Movies

glitter meets rock~
i cant stop saying how much i love this movie.. it has to be one of my most fav movies in the world if not my fav. This incredible study of glamrock shows an absolutely wonderful insight into the world of the 70s and 80s where beauty, makeup and rebellion collides... it also shows the attitude of the kids of that era where everyone wanted to be bisexual. not to mention it also features music from lou reed and placebo!!

absolutely amazing acting by sean penn. Its one of the best most touching movie ive ever watched.. and one of my favs! i dont think there is any other movies of such subject that can compare to i am sam.

fucking amazing. loved this movie... i really really love woody and shaun's character. freaking sad in the end too.. and I've always admired some of the skinhead community. fucking amazing...

amazing amazing.. the character draws u in and takes its time to unfold from a kid into an adult.. most enjoyable parts were when he was a kid.. and the soundtrack is FANTASTIC! ending brot tears though.. touching.. very well done.

this is by far one of the most amazing films ever. its so sad and some parts are uncomfortable but so so pretty..
looking into topics that not many wld want to look into... it stirs up your emotions pretty fast.. and the acting... was as they say, phenomenal.

the best tim burton film ever. and one of johnny depp's most awesome roles.

This is absolutely BRILLIANT! Loved the use of archival footage and how gus intergrated it with his filming. Gus van sant is a genius. GENIUS. The film is at once touching and also humourous yet strikes a deep chord in everyone. And the cast is so damn GOOD! josh brolin and sean penn were absoulutely perfect! and not to mention the rest of the supporting cast like james franco, emile hirsch, diego luna and joseph cross! Stunning. This is a well thought out piece of work. And a very important piece of history well worth the reminder. It reminds us all about how important our human rights are and not to take it for granted. Its really amazing to see how Harvey Milk changed history.
Overall, just do yourself a favour and watch this if you havent!

This film left a huge impact on me. its about siamese twins who were "born together, die together". As a twin myself, this topic is very difficult to watch without bawling my eyes out. Its a very dark film.. The long quiet shots of the brothers hanging on to each other and the parts where they quarrel but they cant get away from each other is just amazing. and its absolutely brilliant that its actually a "documentary" about another documentary. not to mention the music was awesome.

far from being a horrific scifi thriller type thing, a.i is simply a very good film that moved me to tears. It does however make you think about the future of ppl.. and robots.. and if these robots will develop feelings just like haley's character did.

let me tell u this movie is no walk in the park.. hard-hitting and honest to the core. everything the lead felt was exactly what i felt and it made me feel so much hate after watching it. just be careful when u watch it.. may trigger if u s-i. really captured me emotionally and now is one of my fav movies. made me cry loads. so be prepared.

one of the best films ever. such gripping emotions... i cldnt believe how horrific the war was.. polanski did a great job!

just watched this again.. for the i-don't-know-how-many-th time.. and im gonna review it again.

this is an amazing amazing film.. it really makes you feel like you fear for your life. makes you terrified.. yet quite emotional too.
This is by far the most amazing zombie movie ever.. and to miss it is stupid.

I LOVE THIS MOVIE! it differs from the first in terms of storyline and some how i think the plot was alittle better..

veryvery intense and the timing is perfect. what differs 28 days later and 28 weeks later from the other zombie flicks is the ability to make u identify with the characters, the character's growth and development during the movie and the ability to portray human emotions.

simply a must watch for any fan of 28 days later. MUST MUST MUST WATCH!

one of the best horror films in a long long long time.

I must say.. this is probably one of the best films of this year so far. Its simply one of the most beautiful and stylish films I've seen in a while. Its also heart breaking, seductive, alluring... Arresting. The cast is absolutely brilliant and the direction and photography is SUPERB. Colin Firth's sad face makes your heart ache along with his. As he mourns for his lost love, you start to feel it too. The flash backs and day dreams fill you in and as the story unfolds, you begin to put yourself in his shoes. Nicholas hoult's character makes you question his motive and then when you see him holding george's gun, you finally understand.

The story is set in the 60s where everything seemed so innocent with its muted colors and yet exudes such sadness. Not to mention the moments of humor injected lifted its mood and made it even more heartfelt.

There's definitely room for thought after watching it. Movies like these deserves the praise for giving everyone their own interpretation and experience of the film.

absolutely delightful. I loved the relationship between Drey and her teacher Dan. very beautiful.. sweet but sorrowful.. very interesting yet complex feelings surrounds ryan gosling's character.. and surely i must praise ryan's acting.. amazing.

..and what a great soundtrack.

once again, gus van sant.. one of the few geniuses in this business... absolutely beautiful piece about friendship and life on the streets.. absolutely amazing.
River Pheonix gave the most extra-ordinary performance ever... playing a soft spoken sometimes odd narcoleptic.
and the chemistry between him and keanu reeves really worked well.
the movie touched on things such as sexual identity and choosing of relationships and friendships.. absolutely gorgeous.

o.. and the scene where mike told scott that he loved him eventhough he wasnt paid to do so.. is just the sweetest thing ive ever seen... makes me melt...

I do not understand why people complain about it being hand held. It's not because it was a "cheap" production. Its a choice. When it opened with hand held camera, I was drawn into the documentary style straight away. It was definitely needed for this film.

This film is close to my heart as the whole dysfunctional family, sibling rivalry and the black sheep of the family type thing is o so familiar.

Anne hathaway outdid herself with kym's character always vying for attention because she just returned from rehab but everyone's giving their attentions to rachel instead. The whole contrast of rachel getting married (and all the wonderful wedding scenes) and kym's return causes chaos to the viewers forcing you to side with either one of them.

the story is an emotional rollercoaster.. made me smile several times but made me cry even more. Its both heart wrenching and uplifting in its own way.

The supporting cast is absolutely endearing. each and everyone of them. Not to mention the musicians in the film lending themselves to the amazing soundtrack that follows.

Jonathan demme did a great job with the direction of the film.

I can't describe how much i love this film. Very very enjoyable. Its more of a "coming of age" film if you will then an actual story about woodstock's music. Ang lee's cinematography/photography in this is fantastic. I am in awe. Many many awesome cast members including Liev schrieber, paul dano's brief appeareance and the amazing Imelda staunton who was simply fantastic! Ang lee's split screen scenes were very interesting but the best part was definitely the acid trip.

I love how we get to grow with elliot the main character and feel his confusion as he discovers the love and peace these kids that were coming for woodstock was trying to preach.His relationship with his parents were also at strains and to see him going through it, im pretty sure we can all relate.
I love that Ang lee captured the whole vibe of woodstock with no use of archival footage and yet it felt authentic. The drug use was glorious. Danny elfman scores the soundtrack which was absolutely fantastic too. I really don't have much to complain about.

If you're watching this, go in and watch with an open mind. It's not about the festival or the music, its about the love that it brought amongst its children.

i thoroughly enjoyed this. you got to understand that it was a totally different time back then. I loved the relationship shared between the three esp the relationship that could have been between plato and jim. Also, the side story of jim trying to let his father understand him but to no avail.. isn't that what everyone could relate to? and the fact that he wanted his father to stand up for him, to be someone he could rely on.
it was a finely made tragedy drama for its time and anyone who likes james dean would want to watch it for his outstanding performance.

very good look into the american punks of the mid 80s... its kind of sarcastic about the whole punk scene but its a movie thats worth watching whether u hate punk or love punk.

fantastic. Not one that you'll laugh out loud at but i dont care. I loved the filming and all the actors and actresses... the cast was amazing.. and story was so sad. Ryan Murphy did a great job. well done!

i'd recommend this movie to EVERYBODY. this movie is a miracle in itself. one of the very best art films ive seen and jack neo's remake can never compare to this genius.

extremely entertaining~ and i love enid! what an amazing character. she's my hero! XD thora birch did an amazing job.

watching this again, I still find it amazing and wonderful. I now fully understand the story, even better than before. This is a must watch no matter your orientation. The soundtrack is amazing! I cannot say enough how much I love this movie. It deals with so much emotion. Hedwig is an amazing character. John cameron mitchell and Michael pitt are both damn amazing. If you don't watch this, its your loss.

i have no negative comments for this movie at all.. its an absolutely touching coming out movie. and the ending is just so sweet.. and it made me cry.. haha.. and id watch it over and over again.

this is an absolutely fantastic movie! superb in all its visuals.. leading from surreal to reality...

that very last scene.. just made me weep like a baby. :,)

such a sweet sweet sweet film... the plot is so good. Why don't we have films like this anymore?
i love addie's character.. the tough girlie who needs a caring father figure to dote on her but wont admit it.. She's amazing..
Very very very touching in the end.. loved it.

It really is a very clever and interesting comedy. very cult-ish film and will leave you either really hating it or loving it. in my case, absolutely loving it! haha! lots of great laughs and fun parts to watch. not much of a scare unless you imagine them watching your every move at this very moment...

amazing amazing.. ive never seen anything like this.. it messed up my brain... and i think im seeing and hearing frank too... @_@

one of the first films that got me crazy about movies. the high budget sets and the huge dinosaurs absolutely stunned me... because i was so young when i watched it.. lol.. and the soundtrack is absolutely awesome.

haha! i think i had a similar wish for my family to disappear..

what a superb cast. plus a fantastic soundtrack (stevie wonder!) and fantastic filming that was very much a reference to the 50s filming styles. The acting was fine to me. The reason they were so wooden was most of them were still young and fresh and it added to the uncomfortable age the greasers were at and to me that helped the film. I love the social divide between the greasers and the socs. the film is very touching as well. awesome.

where do i start??? XD david bowie's starr role as the goblin king.. a delicious one i might add. along with the muppets, the film was incredibly fun! and sparked an interest in contact juggling!! XD

i dont know what to say...
its amazing.. this indie film made me cry.. and is just so touching.. and so very intimate.

strange.. but sweet and alluring.
just watch..

I freaking love this movie! absolutely amazing cinematography.. the way its filmed and the plot, all comes together very well.. and it makes ur head reel.. ur thinking wheels turning..

just perfect. perfectly funny, witty, sick, disgusting and everything in between!

and ewan mcgregor!

enough said eh? ;)

i loved it. all the actors did a damn fine job. i espacially loved michael pitt. and i think tim roth really was spectacular. could have felt every inch of pain. but i think i enjoyed myself a little too much whilst watching this. i didn't feel that the movie was draggy like some ppl complained. I thought that the director did a swell job creating all this violent-ness for us and the suspense and thrill.. o.. and the soundtrack rocks. haha. a genius this film.

This film is absolutely heartbreaking to watch. One of the most original films I've ever seen (thanks in part to the book of cos). All three actors were exceptional esp Carey Mulligan as kathy H. This is no less scifi without bright lights and alien beings as it is a romantic tragedy. brilliant.

"of the oscar wilde sort" haha.. I LOVE THIS FILM. i love how difficult it was for them to be together.. and how slowly as if if he were to hide the feelings, clive thought he could change. i love the fact that maurice ended up in love with some one of a different class.

Such majestic angles and magnificent cast. The plot was littered with many tiny details and it was a pleasure to watch. I've seen many people review it as draggy but I never once felt it was too long. I loved how it ends where it started. The journey that we're brought through. The love and the religion, everything that influenced their lives.

I love the relationships between sebastian, charles and julia. what youth!
It was gorgeously heart wrenching.

i cried more than i laughed. really touching

I love this. I fucking love this. Its not about darby's life, its about his lyrics. I dont know how accurate the film was but its still damn good a story to tell. not to mention the awesome soundtrack. It's not a movie to "idolize" Darby crash neither were they trying to prove that he was "god" of punk or whatever... it was just somebody's life that we could identify with. i say fuck the haters, just watch it. O and shane west did a damn great job! thumbs up!

extremely moving and touching. bawled my eyes out. tom hardy and benedict cumberbatch is AMAZING here. its scary how tom hardy can transform into a whole different character. It's a study on the relationship between two human beings of different walks of life. As you watch, you can't help but feel an attachment for stuart.

one of the best gay themed movie ive ever seen. the sexual scenes arent even explicit.. they're really sweet and the cinematography and direction of photography is SUPERB.

what a beautiful movie. I wanted to cry for no reason when i watched it. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE OSCAR WILDE. they used half my fav. quote in the movie! haha.. yesyes.. I'm a nerd i noe..

stephen fry was born to play this movie.. i've been wanting to watch it foreverrrrr.. its amazing how it played out.. nothing was boring at all. Love the wit and humour, the sorrow and hurt.. everything!!

LOVED IT LOVED IT LOVED IT!

makes me long for the long forgotten era of rock and roll. one of the most classic coming of age movies ive ever seen..

absolutely delightful, whimsical and too cute for words! What a great musical. Tanner Cohen is such a great actor and that voice. Not to mention the photography was great. I LOVE IT!

This is the most beautiful most charming most wonderful coming of age movie ive ever watched.. i remember watching it when i was young.. so captivated by it that i had to find it and now ive seen it again, im really really absolutely amazed..

this movie fucked my head. how many films can actually fuck with a person's head? the ending was a little too scary but it got the point across. This film shows the true reality of drugs but it doesnt turn you off of drugs either.

brilliant film.. scared the hell out of me. im afraid of scifi movies.. The visuals are amazing and the acting superb. Ending's real sad... :(

Another great film by the amazing danny boyle.

very depressing. michael pitt is amazing. Gus van sant is a genius. the film makes for a good look into the last days of a wonderful mind laced with drugs or what we assume to be drugs. Seems like a good way to go. sometimes the film becomes almost voyeuristic and feels as if we shouldnt be looking in on it. The silence is deafening but very real. Every step is echoed and every creak is loud bringing a definite surreal feel to it. A good mix and match if you will.
What i like about the film is that there's no loud music, no loud life.. just a soft death.

What a hilarious hilarious movie!!! Anybody who loves kids in the hall will absolutely fall in love with this movie... i espacially love the part where cancer boy wins an award for his whistling song thing. hahahahha!

good movie for a sad day! :D

wow.. jim carrey is amazing.

i love the storyline. its very very sweet and touching yet a little scary. such sorrowful work...

i love the direction and cinematography of it all... the way michael gondry does the little things in scenes. like how the scene where he was steering the wheel and crying, the reflection of rain was on his hands.. and things like that.

and... kate winslet.. wow. she played her role well... yea..

i think it makes one think about the contemplation of life and also the meaning of love and relationships.

i am in love with this film. The kids were so earnest about making the film which ended up honestly hilarious but so heart warming. I love the fact that its set in the 80s and i love the way their friendship developed and the touch on religion. I love it! theres something truly british about the film.

o wow.. watch this!!! owen wilson, adrien brody and jason schwartzman all in one. Its an amazing journey, this show is... this movie makes you fall in love with the characters and lets you identify with them.. i like the fact that it was india and all the wonderful landscape they showed.. cant wait to travel there one day! haha!

i should have watched this earlier! (cept i was about 8 or 9 when it came out!)

This is what i have been waiting for... such an amazing amazing cast and plot. WAY better than queen of the damned... and kirsten dunst IS ASTOUNDING. acting such a mature role at such a tender age.

i will watch this over and over again as long as i live.

absolutely endearing. Heather Matarazzo did an amazing job as Dawn wiener who I'm pretty sure everyone can relate to. That awkward preteen age. The other characters were equally as hilarious and awkward. Particularly Brendan who played the school bully but who was actually a tortured soul and who was having an affair with Dawn. Love the storyline. Basically the bleak life of a girl where things just don't work out for her. I absolutely love it.

I think i've watched this a million times. hahaha.. love it so much.

trials and tribultions of coming out in the 80s... The music is absolutely fantastic and the cast did a very good job.

the character of james leer is just wonderful. i love how each character had their own problems and had to deal with each other as well.

I dont regret buying the dvd! This rocks! and the fact that they used "aquarius (let the sun shine in)" as their main theme is freaking awesome. The other songs are hilarious and fun too! I love the plot. And their hair is so gorgeous.. The characters really grow on you the more you watch. This is the life I want. right there.

watch this if you haven't! you will not regret it.

absolutely freaking fantastic esp for anyone thats a fan of rock and roll and who cant live without music. Full of laughs and this movie has one of the best casts i've ever seen (most fabulous and comedic too!). The script is hilarious and the characters are great. If you ever get the dvd, dont miss out the deleted scenes... they are even more fantastic not to mention james corden and rich fulcher makes an appearance! I LOVE IT! cant get enough!

it has not much of a plotline and sometimes the acting was really something to laugh at but so what? that's what makes this film amazing to watch! and its just hilarious and whats more to ask with the singing and not to mention ringo's much more appreciated in there! He's so cute when he sulks!!! XD

absolutely adorable! this movie will leave you all warm and tingly inside.. espacially if its christmas time! Something the whole family can watch (unless you have homophobic family members.. like mine..). i think everybody should watch it just because the boy who plays scot is so incredibly funny in here. a feel good sort of comedy. and i didn't have any problems with the pacing of the movie. just watch this! :D

I dont care what people say about this movie, it is 1 hour plus of pure joy and AWESOMENESS! woot! :D
I'm so happy after watching this. James Franco totally stole the show! Its great to see the two freaks and geeks dudes together!!!!!! O man. Happiness. Love all the weed talk and the story is just fantastically funny. Don't watch it if you want something serious or need a solid plot, watch it for the pure joy it is. lol. just sit back and enjoy.

o i forgot to mention how good the action scenes were! totally HILARIOUS! o and bobby lee!!!! :D

I think i've watched this a million times! I loveeeee this movie and its one of the most heartbreaking love stories ever in hongkong cinema.

I absolutely ADORE this movie. Eric's character is one of torture and sadness and johnny's cluelessness bodes well with each other. Very strong script and such a sad ending. I actually really liked the filming as opposed by many. Also it doesnt hurt that gus van sant is the producer. I can see some influences.

another brilliant film by todd stephens! Very touching coming of age film with such heart. its filled with dreamy filming and lots of stevie nicks (of cos) and the cure inspired scenes.. a film perfect for the dreamers or anyone who has ever had a dream and tried to persue it. It shows us that its ok to be who we are and to not give up.

loved it! absolutely hilarious.. this movie mocks christianity and christians but in such a right way...
thats not saying that christians are bad or anything but what they're trying to say is sometimes they just need to think..

oo i loved it! this film's full of great quotes.. and i loved the relationship between the two characters.. and lets not forget the most hilarious uncle monty. :D
