Withnail and I 1987, R)
The most brilliant comedy ever. A friend sent it for my birthday one year; I watched it and thought...it's okay. But I wanted to watch it again. After that, I thought it was pretty good. Five days and five viewings later - absolutely unheard of for me - and it was one of my favorite pictures ever. An absolute winner, in turns hilariously funny and very melancholy, this is possibly the only post-'50s film I would take to a desert island. |

Hero 2002, PG-13)
Sumptuous. Gorgeous. Amazing. I went to see this without knowing a bit about it, other than it was supposed to be good. I was more blown away by it than any other movie I've seen in a cinema. All I could say was "Wow" for fifteen minutes after the credits rolled - ask my parents. And then I ended up buying multiple copies of the DVD, from around the world, to determine which had the best color and picture - it was that important to me (and the only time I've done such a thing). For those who want to know - the Japanese DVD won, by a very long chalk. |
