The Discreet Charm Of The Bourgeoisie (Le Charme Discret de la Bourgeoisie) 1972, PG)
The very best movie I've seen. A vaudevilian carnival of Bunuel-like situations. Delicious, witty, social comedy. |

2001: A Space Odyssey 1968, G)
This movie raises so many questions you have to see it again and again. Spectacular, profound and meaningful. Great music, great editing, great screenplay, great everything. The best murder scenes in the history of film (the ape-man at the beginning and his equal: HAL 9000) |

Apocalypse Now 1979, R)
"The horror" of this movie is undisputable. The ultimate war movie shows us, sometimes subconsciously, how utterly disgusting is war. Thanks to Apocalypse Now I don't love the smell of napalm in the morning. Eye-opening, this movie represented for me a turning point like no other. |

Vertigo 1958, PG)
What to say? Basically, Hitchcock may very well be the best director in the history of movies, and this is his best film. The scene d'amour, when she puts her hair up like the dead girl... it's macabre and beautiful at the same time. Pathetic, obsessive and inspiring. One of the best movies of all time. |

Koyaanisqatsi - Life Out of Balance 1982, Unrated)
A follower of Vertov, there's a plus in the fact that it's contemporary movie-making and therefore it looks so good. 50% of it's wonderful effect is in Glass' marvelous score. |

Hannah and Her Sisters 1986, PG-13)

Magnolia 1999, R)
A great exercise of style through 8+ stories of people dealing with their existence. A movie about the presence and influence of god with some very cool hidden messages. |

Mulholland Drive 2001, R)
Obscure in every sense. Lynch at his best and the best Naomi Watts ever. This film is like an acid trip, and those things have bad endings... silencio... |

The Hours 2002, PG-13)
I love this movie. Maybe I'm over-rating it by including it into my favorites list, but it's too full of ideas to be left out. Why can't we be happy, if we have everything at hand to be? Because we are who we are, and we can't change that much as we'd like to. Suicide is not an escape, but an act os self awareness. I've lived this life, it was mine to live, and I (not anybody else) end it here and now. The poet acts. |
