one of the greatest movie i've ever seen, with amazing casting, script and directing. the script, the idea is mind-blowing and the acting is so good it makes you forget it's a movie, really. plus the atmosphere.

Brokeback Mountain 2005,  R)
Brokeback Mountain
Wonderful acting. Both Gyllenhaal and Ledger were great. The passion they show in the movie is amazing. It all makes a beautiful movie, with complications and tragic ending.

It is brilliant, and all the gay disgusting crap people talk about its just discrimination. They did not even watch closely, because is one of the greatest love story ever, far more hard to get through than a normal one.
7
Atonement 2007,  R)
Atonement
An amazing story, really good acting and great artistic value with beautiful music and outstanding images. I loved it, in all its sadness. The ending was brilliant.

Requiem for a Dream 2000,  R)
Requiem for a Dream
Extremely impressive. I wish I could see it again. Just imagining everything makes me cry. Says it all about drugs. A reality you don't wanna know about, yeah, but truth. A very powerful movie.

EDIT: Saw it again. And I'm glad. One of the most impressive movies ever, no wonder it's on the 25 most dangerous films list, hah. It hunts you, for real, it's extremely well-made, the cinematography and directing are amazing. It's one of those drama movies you never forget, and a must see.

Crash 2005,  R)
Crash
Not a kinda happy movie. Amazing sense of reality. Funny. Yet very sad.
It is a fantastic movie nobody should miss. The characters are made beautifully, having their own light and space. Unexpected turn-outs. Small words that mean so much.

Saving Private Ryan 1998,  R)
Saving Private Ryan
A great movie, one of the greatest. Very cruel, very real, very sensitive, sad, and touching.

Private Reiben: What's the saying? "If God's on our side, who the hell could be on theirs?"
Upham: "If God is for us, who could be against us?"
Private Reiben: Yeah, what'd I say?
12

A brilliant and extremely touching movie.A story in which acknowledging the history and truth of the action just makes it even a better movie.

Before Sunrise 1995,  R)
Before Sunrise
i loved it. amazing acting, beautiful dialogue and fantastic photography. the actors are so great, they can keep you watching and the script, simple as it is, catches you.

Jesse: I don't know, I think that if I could just accept the fact that my life is supposed to be difficult. You know, that's what to be expected, then I might not get so pissed-off about it and I'll just be glad when something nice happens.


Jesse: Well, I was driving around with this buddy of mine, he was a big atheist, and we came to a stop, next to this homeless guy. And my buddy takes out a 100 dollar bill, and leans out the window, and he says, "Do you believe in God?". And the guy looks at my friend, and he looks at the money, he says, uh, "Yes, I do". My friend says, "Wrong answer", and we drove away.

Celine: When you talked earlier about after a few years how a couple would begin to hate each other by anticipating their reactions or getting tired of their mannerisms-I think it would be the opposite for me. I think I can really fall in love when I know everything about someone-the way he's going to part his hair, which shirt he's going to wear that day, knowing the exact story he'd tell in a given situation. I'm sure that's when I know I'm really in love.

Lucky Number Slevin 2006,  R)
Lucky Number Slevin
Great movie. Bruce Willis and Josh Hartnett? I don't know about you, but I love seeing both on the screen. So this movie just rocks. The screenplay, the plan, the ideas. Except some fun movie facts (like going to see someone important in a towel, and all that towel thing that was about 15 mins), I loved it. The relationship of Hartnett with Lucy Liu was also very nice, and it turned out pretty well, afterall. Do I have to mention that Morgan Freeman did his job amazingly, as usual? Seen the movie twice already.


Mr. Goodkat: Charlie Chaplin once entered a Charlie Chaplin look-alike contest in Monte Carlo and came in third; that's a story.

Thank You For Smoking 2005,  R)
Thank You For Smoking
Brilliant. A movie about cigarettes industry. Someone had to come with this one, right? Yet, will it raise the sells, or lower them? ^___^

A great script, a funny inside look on the life of a man whose morality has to be "flexible", for managing to raise his child well and working as the face of tobacco industry. A very intelligent work, one of my favorites.

Still, no one smokes in that movie, does it? :D

Nick Naylor: My point is that you have to think for yourself. If your parents told you that chocolate was dangerous would you take their word for it?
[Children say no]
Nick Naylor: Exactly! So perhaps instead of acting like sheep when it comes to cigarettes you should find out for yourself.

The Green Mile 1999,  R)
The Green Mile
an amazing movie, very well acted, great script, and all in all very powerful and full of emotion. it stays inside one's heart and mind
22
Paprika 2006,  R)
Paprika
Brilliant, in one word. Truth is the animation is amazing, and the story, the idea, the game between dreams and realty are mind-blowing.
23
Love Actually 2003,  R)
Love Actually
God, I probably cried more than 75% of the movie. And laughed. All in an extremely good, enjoyable way. yes, a feel-good movie but not only: a great Christmas movie too, suitable for all time of the year, family view, relaxing, and gives you hope, really.

Okay now, we all know how impossible this is and how much it misleads you, but really, at least it makes you feel great for the moment. Unless you're a terribly realistic person, or a true pessimist. Or both.

Amazing casting, too. Finally, a truly good romance-comedy movie, worth-watching.
24
Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang 2005,  R)
Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang
Very funny and very smart. For every comedy&action lover and American movie criticizer, I recommend it. All the clichees, everything, sum up to be an awesome movie.

Perry: You don't get it, do you? This isn't "good cop, bad cop." This is fag and New Yorker. You're in a lot of trouble.
25
The Sixth Sense 1999,  PG-13)
The Sixth Sense
The movie was awesome as a whole, but the twist was amazing, great, just .... one of the best twists ever. The acting, the script, the directing, all great. A must see.

The Reader 2008,  R)
The Reader
i loved this movie. great imagery, great acting, great, touching story. so many strong moments.
27
Amélie (Le Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain) 2001,  R)
Amélie (Le Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain)
Narrator: Amélie still seeks solitude. She amuses herself with silly questions about the world below, such as "How many people are having an orgasm right now?"
[scenes of various orgasms taking place]
Amélie: Fifteen.


Indeed, a beautiful film, with this great story, well acted and well directed. Tautou is absolutely adorable portraying Amelie, which is this weird, amazing girl I would certainly like to meed. The script is good, the idea is really good, the way it is put into life is better. All the characters, described by their little pleasures and annoyance, everyday's life put like this, happiness, sadness, strangeness and fate - I loved it.

Raymond Dufayel aka Glass Man: So, my little Amélie, you don't have bones of glass. You can take life's knocks. If you let this chance pass, eventually, your heart will become as dry and brittle as my skeleton. So, go get him, for Pete's sake!

Amazing movie, wonderful story. Easy plotline, but beautifully made. With all the funny stuff and happiness, it is the kind of movie I would like to see again.
31
Titanic (in 3D) 2012,  PG-13)
Titanic (in 3D)
Epic, indeed. The masterpiece that needs no introduction, the classic, cross-stared lovers story, that gets everyone, every time. Yes, it's an achievement, it was beautiful, entertaining and worth seeing. But it's not the greatest movie ever.
32
Ken Park 2002,  Unrated)
Ken Park
i had so much fun watching this one, i can relate so much, the characters and stories are very real yet very interesting, and the acting is great
33
Inception 2010,  PG-13)
Inception
Cobb: [from trailer] Dreams feel real while we're in them. It's only when we wake up that we realize something was actually strange.

Christophen Nolan was absolutely amazing with this, a story of a "dream robber" who just wants to go back to the family. As the movie rolls, you start understanding more and more of its complex ideas, enjoy its fun times, get your mind blown by the fantastic visual effects and sounds, and appreciate great actors as DiCaprio and Joseph Gordon-Levitt together with Ken Watanabe, Ellen Page and Cillian Murphy.
I saw it at the cinema and loved it, all its subplots, the aha moments, the complexity, both psychological and romantic and sci-fi, the overall atmosphere, infos about brain and dreams, the script and idea and directing - everything was fun and in its place, even a few clichees. A must see.
34
Pan's Labyrinth 2006,  R)
35
Exit Through The Gift Shop 2010,  R)
Exit Through The Gift Shop
An absolutely amazing documentary about Street art and people that evolves and asks questions about art in general, its value, its audience, feelings and meanings and mostly, brainwashing. It's actually mind-blowing how relationships evolve, how self-image evolves, how one thing can get to another.
36
Love Me If You Dare (Jeux d'enfants) 2003,  R)
Love Me If You Dare (Jeux d'enfants)
Extremely fun and lovely. Finally, a movie with a good, cute script and awesome actors, even tho a bit too theatrical, too romantic sometimes and otherwise crazy.
37
Source Code 2011,  PG-13)
Source Code
Tense, thrilling, smart, funny with a twist or two, and even emotional at times. Not to mention the presence of Jake Gyllenhaal in it.
38
The History Boys 2006,  R)
The History Boys
Ah, I loved it. Found it funny, clever, witty and with well-shaped characters, though not really unpredictable, but good.
39
Big Fish 2004,  PG-13)
Big Fish
A beautiful story and amazingly written script, not to mention the cinematography and Tim Burton's direction.
