My Favorite Movies

small gestures.small habits. le finnesse.

a very emotional story depicting the struggle of a teenager and his baby sister left alone, trying to survive the war. they face air raids, having no home,and famine. the relationship between them is really touching.

really great...how can anybody say they are not interested?

worth seeing! :)

puterea spiritului asupra mintii, si puterea dragostei reunite

daca e cu ewan nu mai conteaza pt mine, dar si asa...faina ideea....si foarte bine jucat

eternal love...

great movie...

cine nu vrea sa se indragosteasca in fiecare zi...

un fel de michael scofield, jucat de leonardo dicaprio, mai amator insa, fara atata actiune

it's like a warm summer breeze, in a beautiful land far away from civilization.

similar with identity, but still johnny depp has a great performance....

like happy endings :) hoping to get one too

no matter what, you must hang on, and sunshine will come ur way

what seems to be a choice is no choice at all, it is rather a damnation!

everybody can cook...

hippie story, but realistic though...

everybody needs somebody, and people can change

no man is an island, and everybody needs backup :)

being knocked up is not such a big deal anymore, see Juno as well. I think that people would only have kids anumore when they are 30 or so, unless...it happens :)

Ellen Page really makes the best out of this movie, it wouldn't have been so good if it weren't for her

it's really nice...yap yap yap :)

the story is great, and the views from the island are blissful...

uau...a movie since I was little, but I would like to see it again altogheter, I can still remember some of the song, and the scene with the tears... :)

really inspiring, and it's wonderful how things fit together in the list in the end...

it's worth seeing...

I think it kind of gets you if you happen to have a brother or a sister, because you know , no matter what, an invisible thred conencts the both each second, it's a bond that can't be broken , only loosen.

it kind of makes you think about the changes that you have to undergo in your life and that you should really have somebody there to support you, and be there to share all the happy moments :)

brings out all the human drama...and I know that in reality things can be much more brutal...but opens my eyes a bit, even though racism is not that big of a problem in our country...

interesting enough...the story is not a common one and that makes it something worth to watch.

per total it's a fine movie even though I didn't think so at first...

have no words for this as I liked it so much...it kind of makes you realize that sometimes it's better to take things as they come :)

i don't know if things happened like this, but i got some food for thought for the world i am living in. and the cast is great. it is a great movie for the way it was made and the cast, and for the subject as well

really interesting story, it surprised me by the subject. and the relation father daughter is great.

great!!

you have to see it...i cannot say the things that I liked about this movie because there are many aspects that made this movie a perfect choice for me. maybe you won't like it, but if you do you will feel like me, that this movie was made so that you can see it.

liam neeson is absolutely great in this movie...geez...I'm actually thinking if I am going to travel alone or not ever again...

I still cannot believe that his name is chuck..and the idea with wilson i so great, I hav e my own wilson with the name of Dinu :) ... crazy people...
:)

the movie has an interesting twist to it, it is unusual, but the ending is quite unsatisfactory for me, but If I think about it, maybe a person that was the main character in the movie existed in reality so they had to change the movie's ending so that he could live, thus making it a not such a good movie, but with a wonderful idea to it, which in the end makes it a really good movie...complicated :)

the first 5 minutes I thought I wouldn't like it...but I still watched it...it was great :)

yeah...it is nice to see :)

maybe I shouldn't have read the book first...de niro came as a surprise..and michelle was a good choice!

maybe we all sometimes running from the things that we want..why?

it came in a moment where I could find myself.

good movie to watch :)

the pressure, fear of losing, the disappointment..
can be really hard on 7 year old kids.
Grown up are scared the shit out of their pant of failure, of losing, that's why they do not take chances anymore.
Imagine putting a kid in this situation.
In the end, I like the idea of staying true to oneself.

even if it is a comedy set back in the 60s... in reality women are still thinking to chose between love and career. and in a situation like this, men have to come up with something different. anyway old fashion marriage is long gone, love has a different perspective, which for me is as unrealistically strange and incomprehensible as a boris vian novel.

there are a lot of things that I liked in this movie, and some ideas and concepts that are near my way of thinking......

there are a lot of ideas that I appreciated in this movie, including the one that every person has it's own music, that describes that person.
and also the fact that life has an infinity of possibilities to lead it, that it is practically impossible to be in charge of one's destiny, to make a good song, to know what key to press...

why not?

this is a movie about life, about people's feeling, an entire movie dedicated to disappointment, people's desire to lead a meaningful life.. the courage to lead one's life, or to step out of the "comfy" state..and this is actually what happens to everybody. each day is a struggle to feel good, reach that state where we are satisfied with ourselves, the ones around us and the things that we are doing.

there are a few predictable scenes, but this movie surprisingly enough is comprised of 2 actually, when there is a happy ending, the movie goes on, making u think what could go on... and the story telling idea makes the movie special by the voice of Nullah.

All parents feel like they're the blind leading the blind.

5 stars. no reserves.

it reminded me of a theater play that I really really liked, and that is why I treasure this movie. and the recurring song managed to create an interesting mood and atmosphere for me, looking outside of my big big window in my flat in skopje.

perfect combination of humor and drama.

it was my favorite movie a long time ago, but I saw it on TV and did not know the name to find it...but I remembered very well one scene, that was stuck to my mind. now it was entertaining to see it, and I still treasure it as a piece of my past :)

really nice.

saw it for the third time, and I still liked it...and yeahhh....i still cried.
what to do!!! i'm a girl.

this is absolutely amaizing, different, out of standards, crazy, just the way I like em.
waw.
and the music. fantastic!

definitely it is a movie to watch.

got to read the book after watching the movie. i am so into this story!!

My type of movie. Makes me think that Spielberg has the potential to create so different experiences.

3h that kept me watching and watching. and steve mcqueen is great!

Ava Gardner is so good!!!
I would like to see the remake of this.
cool learning points.

it was so cute to see the movie now, to observe how they grew in time, and actually how they looked when they were kids. and the effects were really nice,. the efforts they put in making this world visible, from imagination to images.

When I started to see the movies, and saw the actors...I thought that I would not like it, as I do not fancy that much John Malkovich, but at the end of the day, he played really really good his role. And the scenes with the puppy are absolutely powerful.

Nice! :)

the soundtrack is totally my type.
nice stuff. made me laugh! :)

clar cel mai fain film...cu inchisori si nu numai
watched it again these days. still is a good movie, and still a lot of people are impressed by it.
even though it seems that there is nothing so special about it, the movie in it's entirety is really great!!!

better than rocky :)
with a touch of honor, drama and showcasing the crisis.
like!

Yes.

This was a good one! Liked it so much.

the acting was so cool, that i still do not know what to believe, if he was innocent or not...similar experience. this movie is like describing my nature and my inner battle in trusting people. being usually a naive person, i tend to believe everyone, but this world has proven me wrong so many time, that i was taught to be suspicious every time. perfectly described in the movie. both sides of it.

cool one! :)

Saw it for the second time...after a long while! Enjoyed it a lot. And indeed Helen Hunt looks really great in this movie and together with Jack Nicholson are getting into the characters so good!!

"...what makes it so hard is not that you had it so bad but that you are
that pissed that so many other had had it that good."

the question is: would I marry the guy that had an affair with my mother? It is so weird to see Dustin Hoffman being young. Anyway, enjoyable movie, simple, not complicated, but I don't know why, I enjoyed it :)

saw it after seeing 500 days of summer :)

i really liked it, i don't know why critics did not...

Sandra Bullock looks great, she reminds me of my best friends.

reminds me of a paul auster novel! :)

makes me feel so stupid for not having a brilliant brain.

brilliant!!!

brings back childhood memories from when I saw it for the first time.

Started my taste for Audrey Hepburn.
She is making this movie worthwhile.

god gave us relatives, thank god we can choose our friends :)

different type of cartoons, which i really enjoy.

it felt pretty weird seeing it, as it is in Romanian. but I think we all at a certain moment develop this kind of relationships, for several reasons: it's as good as a real one, so why not?, it's easier, no complications, and so on and so forth. just that, this can never last, and it is not fulfilling everything, you still feel that something is missing.

First time i ever got to know about erotomania, and actually realize there were people out there having this disease.
But I guess all of us have a bit of it sometimes, when we see gestures that do not mean anything, but we give them meaning because of our hunger for affection.

the movie has a constant pace, but in the same time making you think and long for the drama part, point, just to discover what it is, where is this movie getting at. and actually, I think I should not have been waiting for this moment, but actually just enjoy and discover in the same time. people would say it is hard to have this type of relationship. i do not know if it is true or not, but truth be told, I have always wanted one like this.

somehow similar with love sick, both seen in the same time...
it seems i am drawn by movies that showcase sick relationships, out of the ordinary.

when love and duty are one, then grace is within you.
duty is washing your hands when they are dirty.
as if a woman has ever fallen in love with a man for his virtue... they do, and i would also.

the time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.
you'll be measured as a man by the work you do, not by the movies you see. work is a man's dignity.

I always thought that children that have had a troubled childhood, become more that mediocre, because of their will of striving more, doing better and being better. The movie itself is touching by all the moments I was thinking it was too much for a kid to take it. And actually finding out that it is depicting reality, and actually describing the childhood of a person that by example and around him, tried to make a better world.

It is entertaining and touching in the same time, because I always treasured brother to sister relationship, and no matter what, I always feel I can count on him to be rooting for me back home, wherever it might be, when I am just a pilgrim on the road.

speechless.
loved it!!
i think girls should see this in order to understand the concept of fashion.

simply wonderful!!

Absolutely fantastic!
Delicious comedy embed with witty, and true lines, great casting, acting and script, cinematography. From my point of view it was perfect. Man, it was sooo good!!

genial!! :P
describing life in such a manner.
from such perspectives.
showing moments of going crazy, or plainly living, or having dreams, despairing...we all have these moments, would have the same good movie if we could clip in some of the moments together.

great humor, that starts kicking in just a bit later.
jack black is as always demential.

I enjoyed the action a lot.
And since I did not see X man, or something similar, I was not fed up with super- powers concept not to like the moviet :P

funny!! :)

I was really impressed by the role christian bale had to play, and how much weight he had to loose.

totally liked it.
the opened ending made it even more beautiful, not the usual happy ending, but something more exciting instead: the unknown :P

Saw this when i was younger and i remember that I liked it.
Growing up a bit, did not seem to influence my tastes, moreover, I think I got even deeper into the matter, especially how interracial relationships are viewed.

that was totally wicked!! :P

I'll give you anything you ask for, as long as it's not something I don't want to give.

I did not see it till now, even though I knew for a long time it is a must.
Richard and Julia and the chemistry between them and their acting makes this a really enjoyable movie.

sad...
but true.
people will always make money from other people's curiosity.
even if this is hurting somebody, or something instead.

the little alien was so cute!! :::p

it's the third time I am seeing the movie, this time I can relate to it more.

staying close to the book makes me love it altogether.

The same concept as in "el verdugo" but showing the noble part of an infamous job, without being funny, but touching more the sentimental side. it was good!!

"all married couples are eventually separated by a death, but it's tough being the one left behind".

The description of the movie does not do justice to it. It is more about life and personalities and choosing a lifestyle according to it. Staying true to own beliefs, and being different not for the sake of it, but because it is part of ourselves.

"do you ever get to a point in your life where nothing makes sense?"

I remember that when reading the book, I was really shocked by the unusual frankness...by the unusual happenings, feelings, or should i call them...not something that a society would approve of.

Two teenagers are left with their two younger siblings alone after their mother dies, only a little while their father has also departed. They decide to bury her body in cement, in an iron file cabinet, left down in the basement.

It is clearly that the kids are trying to live the drama by their own methods: the youngest starts dressing like a girl, and plays with his best friend being his mom and dad, and also drinks from the feeding bottle. His sister keeps a diary where she addresses her dead mother, telling her what has been happening. her bigger brother stops washing and keeps being obsessed by his body, has his own place to retire, smoke and read from the book he got for his birthday. Their bigger sister starts dating an overly older business man, that eventually rats on them.

It's the first time I see it, even though I've heard of it for a long time. It has a really good story to it.

"He was a rock they broke themselves against however much he tried to protect them, but he had his honor and a long life..."

i like the ending song :P

I love animes, and this is what makes my day!! :)

Audrey Hepburn is perfect for this role.
The story keeps a simple line and that makes it really great.
I enjoyed it a lot!!

highly entertaining!!!

'smarvellous, 'swhat I like :P

i really love her voice!!!

shocking, brutal, with twisted twists in the story. wonderful. just my type of movie.recently reading a book on how people react to movie on emotional level, made me empathize more, and get engrossed in the story.

definitely need to watch it again.
like his wife said, does not matter if u read a book once, if u like it so much, you would read it again....

5 because I enjoyed it. and because it made me question. and because it is a new idea. and because I am curious how people would react to this type of concept.

"at my age, the candles cost more than the cake"

"I am not afraid of death, I am afraid I haven't been alive enough"

"Of all those lives, which one is the right one? Each of these lives is the right one. Every path is the right path. Everything could have been anything else and it would have just as much meaning."

"In chess, when the only viable move, is not to move."

I was asked during this movie, if I would play such a game. I guess by the decisions I am normally making, I would play it. Even without knowing where it starts, where it ends. I LIKE danger :P

Just the type of humor I like, the perfect actor, the perfect setting, a good ending, and a really awesome soundtrack :P what more can I ask?

un-fucking-believable :P

who did not like it?
man, this was fantastic!! if russell crowe did not impress me till now, in this movie both the role and the acting are superb!!!
"ask me politely" :P

this is my newest favorite movie of all times. and as far as I can see there are not a lot of people liking it, which makes it even more special to me. i think liking a movie is related with the way you connect to the story, to the characters, with the emotions, with the past, with experiences, with hopes, with lonely fantasies, with yourself.

An animated fable depicting a world of men, mice, rats, light and soup.

From the way mice and rats are viewed by men I a thinking about racism and prejudice, and how we stop accepting people in our lives, by the label we give them at first sight.

From Despereaux I saw how society is demanding us to be in a certain way, to behave in a certain way, live in a certain way, and stay ignorant. And there are few that go against these unwritten laws, and against society. These are the people that have courage.

It does not matter how many books you read, but what you learn from them, and how you act afterward. A lot of educated people might be the worst ones.

People do take it on other people after continuously being attacked, but in the end, forgiveness is the solution.

Do not give up on the things that give color to your life, and do not ban it for others also. It is the thing that brings joy to the heart.

Friendship!

Eat soup!! It is healthy and delicious :P

I'd like my life to have a meaning...

..

Blake Ritson is becoming one of my favorites.

blew my mind. forget about the critics. the music is soo good!! :)

cu un nod in gat si o lacrima.

Totally my favorite genre of movie!! :) Random, out of this world, from a non- ordinary mind.

Adorable.

But watch it in japanese audio, far more better experience :)
or at least this is how I like to see it.

I enjoyed watching it from beginning till end. It rarely happens.
It's a simple but absolutely lovable story.
The scrip was good, even if it is predictable it does not lose from it's charm.
One thing I understood is that: we all need love in our life, but it depends what kind of love we are settling for :)

"he don't matter, he's my husband"

"Ok. My family got [...] down by DEA officers because of drug problems. I lived with the greatest guy on Earth. He was a hit man, the best in town. But he died this morning, and if you don't help me I'll be dead by tonight."

no words...just have to see it :)

Starts off with them playing Mafia, trying to figure out the killers, blaming each other, spice a little bit of role playing, a bit of sadism, a bit of humanity, betrayal, and boom!! perfect :)

and i don't know how steve buscemi gets his roles, he is always getting away with it, or at least it seems like that to me :P

I kept on postponing this movie because I did not feel like seeing somebody coping with a loss. Thought it would get me depressed.
In fact, it just made me think that we all have to fight with something, but in the end we need to let go of the pain and accept the good that is happening in our lives.
I feel that my problems are so petty, that it is such a shame not to enjoy everything, instead of just waiting, thinking, to be better, making things better.
If I might be missing something it does not mean that I should lose the joy I get form all the other things.

Kept on postponing the movie because I do not actually enjoy seeing Halle Berry acting. Let's say she washed her sins by the movie she has chosen to act, and by her simple beauty.
Benicio del Toro is as good as it gets.

Funny as hell, but in the same time emotional.
Good acting, good script, I really enjoyed it.

I was not aware the conditions widows in India had to face and are still doing so. Being condemned to such a life, because religion says so.
As one of the characters say, in the end religion is just about the money.
I believe in faith, and not religion.
And interpreting sacred texts to address own benefits it's not faith. Excusing in this manner own actions is utterly despicable.
In the end who decides what is good or bad?
You!

It was hard to realize where reality stopped and dreams started, or where dreams ended and reality began building shape.

From time to time, we all get lost in our dreams, but I think it would be a living nightmare if our dreams would merge with reality, then we would not be able to control it, and the big thing about not living in a dream, opposed to common sense, thinking, is that we are masters of our lives.

While dreams can be the best refuge at times, real life is the best refuge in the rest of time, if you know how to build it.

Being a master builder of dreams gives you momentarily satisfaction, while building your real life proves great abilities, mastery, will, determination, and a bit of dreaming.

Game of words or not, I am a big fan of dreams, imaginary worlds created, new sense in normal things, and life.

My heart that was rapt away by the wild cherry blossoms - will it return to my body when they scatter?

epiphanical...

I do enjoy this types of movies.
I guess from time to time, I need something to touch my sensibility.
And where others say that it is not outstanding, it think it does not have to be. Because in my opinion this type of movies offer a kind of coziness to tell the story, it does not need to be shocking. In fact, to be able to take it in, as the director wanted it to be, you would observe that people having dramas in their lives, and how they cope with it, is coated up with humor, a bit of romance, and a kind of positive touch to it, that makes it softly get close to the painful/deeper subjects.

I was not expecting actually My girl to have a sequel. I just viewed it, as a movie that had an impact, and you should remain with that idea. Full stop. If there is something else, I have the impression that you are taking from the effect the first one has on you. So, not a very big fan of sequels here...

But truth be told, it was a pretty nice sequel. I think it is one of the sequels I did not have the impression it is made to make extra money, like other sequels, it does not have the same topic, and it actually follows the life of the characters, and depicting the major changes happening in 3 years time.

Again, nice, cozy feeling. And the acting is good. And there are some lines that make it comical. It also touches on the emotional side.

"If I am cooking, it is not called a date."

So all in all, I am not that dissatisfied.
Or maybe I was just in the mood for this movie :P

From time to time, we all want to escape, into a world of our imagination. We cannot stand the people around us and cannot feel their love anymore, so sometimes even big, hairy, ugly creatures are more desired. But all in all, you get to miss the people you love, you realize that you want them in your life no matter what. And everybody needs love, in whatever form, there is no denying that.

I like the way things are shown and what feelings they transmit - delicate, careful and calm in the same time. A voice that gives more than words, a face that you would remember anytime, a small gesture, things that you would put heart in when you were a child, and not only.

I think I got caught up more in their personal stories, than in the tragedy their lives was meant to be.

I was not expecting it to end like this.
The story has a really good acting from both sides.
And the script is well written. And I am glad it chose a theme where not all things end up as usual, this is a piece of real life.

And I couldn't be more subjective, since I like Gosling and Michele so much.

I thought I'd die of cuteness seeing this movie :) Love it!! :)

You know, I've been thinking. Everything is... just comes together. It's me. I chose this. I chose all this. This rock... this rock has been waiting for me my entire life. It's entire life, ever since it was a bit of meteorite a million, billion years ago. In space. It's been waiting, to come here. Right, right here. I've been moving towards it my entire life. The minute I was born, every breath that I've taken, every action has been leading me to this crack on the out surface.

How was it for me as an experience? well, it's not the first real based movie about survival. but i think, till now it is one of the best. I think Into the wild and this one are favorites. if there are any real fans of saw, that are still not convinced that reality beats movies, then maybe they should be seeing this one...

It is the best way for me to get a bit deeper into the Cuban culture, and what it is important for them.
The story is hilarious most of the time, brings you back to childhood memories, and childish behaviors we all had.
The end is very emotional, and the way it ended shows that this is indeed a great movie.

Definitely my type of comedy, my type of movie, my type of enjoying!! the actors really did a marvelous job, and it was so alive, and they were playing so good their well built characters. the story is good, and it is overall entertaining. I enjoyed it a lot!! :)

OMG!! the guys that made this animation are f**king amaizing!! Awesome build characters conduct all the parody from blockbusters, translated in a world of animals!!

A documentary full of controversy, at least for me. If a person is able to witness murder, violence, death and pain, and not be able to help it, and try not to get affected by it.

The idea of having parallel universes has always been an interesting thought for me.

Well build characters, wonderful humor and script, attention to details, harmony between all elements, great music and passion for it, I guess these are the things that made this animation a great one!!

you can never stop loving someone that you have once loved, but it is important to cherish the love you have at present.

now that´s what I call a good comedy, with a little bit of emotion to the side. perfect! saw it for the second time, and it was still good!!
