My Favorite Movies

Robin

I love Taxi Driver and a lot of more underground movies. I really enjoyed watching citiizen cane and pulp fiction recently. Ocean's 11 was awesome. I like sophistication in cinema, especially through character interaction and personnas. For this reason several Jack Nicholson movies as well as Clint Eastwood keep me in awe of the silver screen. I love movies set in the 1980's such as The Beverly Hills Cop Series, as a lot of time I think they help you gain contextural and social understandings of countries, most notably the USA during these periods in history. Watching The Breakfast Club recently fascinated me because of the undertone of fragility found in the piece and the idea that the passing of the students is that of something temporary and indefinite and I found an association between that and my own school life.

Classics like Rocky inspired my youth and I am thankful for that. I also love Escape from New York and Total Recall both of which show the future environment in different and intellectual ways.

	Romei's Rating	My Rating
1	Die Hard 1988, R) Something I love to watch every Christmas, and with great reason. Willis is spectacular and there's a good feel to the movie. This is what I call a feel good movie. It even has plastic explosives. Incred.
2	Pretty Woman 1990, R) Roberts and Gere are spectacular and even I can appreciate this as a man. The on-screen chemistry is beautiful.
3	Total Recall 1990, R) Classic, the concept is incredible, watch this one just for the ideas of the future.
4	Blade Runner 1982, R) Again awesome, I recommend the directors cut though.
5	RoboCop 1987, R) Get your metal out this is what it is all about.
6	Dirty Harry 1971, R) Clint, what more needs to be said.
7	The Shining 1980, R) Well, what more can you say. Possibly the greatest movie of all time.
8	Walk the Line 2005, PG-13) Great film, truly moving. One of the best biographies to have graced the silver screen,
9	Ocean's Eleven 2001, PG-13)
10	Pulp Fiction 1994, R) Incredible, One to watch!
11	Citizen Kane 1941, PG) Amazing even today, for it's time incredible, the direction and movement of the movie, quite revolutionary and sensational
12	A Christmas Story 1983, PG) Lovely movie.
13	Rocky 1976, PG) A Great.
14	The Breakfast Club 1985, R) Good movie. Watching The Breakfast Club recently fascinated me because of the undertone of fragility found in the piece and the idea that the passing of the students is that of something temporary and indefinite and I found an association between that and my own school life.
15	Escape from New York 1981, R)
16	The Sixth Sense 1999, PG-13) Good, but Shylamalan's movies are becoming increasinly more repetitive.
17	The Lost Boys 1987, R) Just like the whole 80's thing going on here.
18	School of Rock 2003, PG-13) Clever for me, as I am a follower of Rock.
19	Conspiracy Theory 1997, R) Julia Roberts makes this and Mel Gibson acts a great role.
20	28 Days Later 2002, R)
21	Collateral 2004, R)
22	Donnie Darko 2001, R) Mindblowing, I can't believe how clever this is, and the more times you watch it the cleverer it becomes. The ending can be interpreted in so many different ways it is exquisite.
23	Garden State 2004, R)
24	Brick 2006, R)
25	Ghost World 2001, R)
26	Taxi Driver 1976, R) Great movie, a real sense of grit comes through to the viewer and after going to american myself I felt this movie related to me more.
