My Favorite Movies

the story is superb and very disturbing... i love the way it's told through one person's perspective. it's fast-paced and action-packed with brilliantly edited sequences. a truly outstanding film.

The film absorbed me with the story and very memorable scenes, the best being the one with the protagonist on the swing. An immensely moving masterpiece that inspires you to think about life.

powerful and meaningful. meticulously thought out story and direction, and great acting. an exceptional piece of work.

really just loved it, the story and the visuals. the music is fab too.

words cannot describe how brilliant this movie is. so i'm not gonna try. you just have to see it for yourself. ;)

funny and intelligent as hell... brilliant!

Magical, wonderful. Smiled throughout the whole movie. Audrey Tautou is an absolute delight.

amazing for its era, but also does not feel dated.

creative, funny, extremely touching. best film i've seen in a while. brilliant.

naomi watts was just brilliant in this absolute mindfuck thriller. "it's an illusion." i can't say i fully comprehend the film but on further research i thought it was quite amazing, that all the confusion, which could really annoy you, was not for nothing. recommended for repeated viewings.

to say it is predictable is to miss the point. altogether a beautiful, poignant film that will not fail to move viewers.

it's good, it's funny, but i wish there were subtitles!

Truly heart-wrenching.

simple but just so beautifully moving

though a little confusing, the message hits you really hard once you get it. quite freaky.

very kooky, enjoyed it tremendously.

Mind-blowingly awesome. Christopher Nolan is crazy, and I mean it as a compliment.

love this movie to bits. wonderful cast, you can't help but adore ellen page. love the soundtrack. one of the best coming-of-age movies ever.

one of the best Hongkong films i've seen.

using the game show was a refreshing way to tell the story and get the message across without letting it get all heavy and melodramatic. awesome cinematography and colours. a little sad but so very hopeful.

freaky. crazy. funny in a sick perverse sense.

wonderful story. wonderful acting. wonderful soundtrack.

very refreshing story, with even more grown-up and meaningful themes compared to previous pixar films, which i have mostly enjoyed as well. adorable and funny throughout, but i also found myself tearing at many poignant moments, especially the parts showing the love between Carl and his wife. only slight problem i had was with the ending, but it's really not a big deal, when the story itself feels so real. that realness is certainly helped by the wonderful characterisation of old men Carl and Muntz and Russell the little boy. the more i think about it, the more i feel how special this film is. great job by Pixar.

brilliant. this is what batman should be like. really heavy stuff... don't think any other director/scriptwriter could have handled it any better. still great the second time round.

loved it. i'm so surprised that it actually moved me to tears on several occasions. beautiful.

not only is the cinematography stunning, the story is just as brilliant and wonderfully acted out. and oh, the music created such an amazing ambience. beautiful beautiful film.

funny, heartwarming, touching

good story, great performance from the actors, especially Edward Norton!

a really lovely show: funny, heartwarming story coupled with a great cast. ryan gosling is really good.

so tragic, yet so heart-wrenchingly beautiful. a truly unique musical that stands out from the rest.

Freaking awesome! The second last scene kicked ass!! Most of the cast rocked, especially Christopher Waltz. Definitely one of the best Tarantino flicks. It reminded me of Kill Bill as they have similar themes, but I loved this more. Also, one of the more interesting and original WWII films I've seen.

simple storyline, but the film has such an incredible atmosphere... i really felt for the characters. sad but moving.

it was very slow, very quiet, but the images alone were powerful and moving. i was in tears. liked it a lot.

inventive and insanely brilliant. f*cks with your mind, literally.

A (romantic) comedy that makes you think deeply about love and relationships. Wonderfully filmed with really likeable performances from the leads. LOVE the soundtrack.

SO GOOD.

watched this by accident... but turned out to be pretty good! great storyline, and scary, but not in the usual way.

kickass

just simply wonderful.

the visuals just take my breath away.

such a cute movie. it's amazing how much emotion is conveyed with so little dialogue.

simple but quirky, funny and touches on heavy subjects in the best light-hearted way. one of the best films of Almodovar's i've seen.

simple, quiet but funny and touching. i love the way it was shot and the style of humour. what a gem.

fantastic acting. inspiring and touching and hopeful.

inspiring yet entertaining at the same time. great film.

so sad, but so good.

classic

clever and hilarious. loved the witty presentation/ direction.

still pretty amazing the second time round.

clever

wow! never seen anything like this. franka potente is too damn hot.

i really loved this little gem of a film, maybe because i could personally relate to it. there's a lot of realness to it. fyi the sypnosis provided here is incorrect.

beautiful

story is simple, and a little too simplified, but it's my childhood favourite!

wow. such a gem of a film.

incredibly stylish. what a comic book story would really be like if it came to life. possibly the best comic book movie i've seen. the geeks should love this.

a simple story that moved along quietly and unassumingly, but touched me a lot at the end.

Tim Burton is a genius.

fun story

told from the perspective of a family, this film takes you through the socio-political changes through modern China. it is about survival and the will to live no matter what life throws at you. deeply moving.

"Boo!"
