Breaking the Waves 1996, R)
This movie touched me. It's intense, powerful, sensitive and deeply tragic. The acting of Emily Watson is just awesome. |

Persepolis 2007, PG-13)
There were not that many movies which touched me in the same way as Persepolis did. It's so unique, charming, personal, tragic but still with a good amount of humor and irony - and the style of the drawings are exceptional. In a time where more and more animated movies are made with computer - such hand-drawn pieces are like a treasure! |

Love Me If You Dare (Jeux d'enfants) 2003, R)
I first saw this movie when heavy rain forced me into a cinema - thank you, thunderstorm ;) It's a unique story and style, cute characters and very touching... cannot really explain why I love it, but I just do. |

Requiem for a Dream 2000, R)
This one has one the greatest soundtracks I ever saw (heard) in a movie! The story and the pictures are pretty intense, but the music just grabs you into it... |

The Land Before Time 1988, G)
Actually it's a simple animated feature - but still so charming and lovely I can hardly watch it without getting really touched over and over again. |

Koyaanisqatsi - Life Out of Balance 1982, Unrated)
Quite artistic, just music and images - but both very intense and disturbing. Difficult movie, but worth watching |
|

Little Big Man 1970, PG)
I love that movie, especially because of the charming character of the old indian tribal chief performed by Chief Dan George. Sometimes funny, sometimes touching... it has some lengthy moments, but all in all: "My heart soars like a hawk." when I watched it. |

Hotaru no haka (Grave of the Fireflies) 1988, Unrated)
Amazingly heartbreaking, very sad and intense - I doubt this movie will leave someone untouched at all. |

Into the Wild 2007, R)
Exceptional photography, absolutely stunning landscapes, charming characters (especially, but not only Emile Hirsch in the leading role... for example, I also loved the old Hippie Couple) and a story which takes you by the hand and right into a journey. |
