Vertigo 1958, PG)
A masterpiece. Best film ever, in my opinion. And I do mean ever. |
|
| 2 |
Touch of Evil 1958, PG-13)
Film noir at its absolute finest. Great opening shot. Welles is a perfect villain. |
|
| 3 |
Fa Yeung Nin Wa (In the Mood for Love) 2000, PG)
A perfect film. One of my all-time favorites. |
|
| 4 |
Pulp Fiction 1994, R)
Does this need an explanation? |
|
| 5 |
Requiem for a Dream 2000, R)
Beautifully devastating. Every shot is perfectly framed. The textbook for modern cinematography. |
|
| 6 |
The Killer (Dip huet seung hung) 1989, R)
Woo's best. Bloody, tragic, epic. |
|
| 7 |
Citizen Kane 1941, PG)
|
|
| 8 |
Cidade de Deus (City of God) 2002, R)
Frantic editing and a surreal (but yet all too real) environment. No spoilers, but there is one scene that is very effecting. Highly recommended. |
|
| 9 |
Der Krieger und die Kaiserin (The Princess and the Warrior) 2000, R)
Gorgeously shot. Tykwer's best. |
|
| 10 |
The Thin Red Line 1998, R)
Excellent contemporary war film. Reflective, devastating, and realistic. |
