The Royal Tenenbaums 2002, R)
I can just watch this movie over and over and over again, and I always find a new detail to delight me. |

Magnolia 1999, R)
Poignant, epic and personal all at once. This movie haunts me. |

Gattaca 1997, PG-13)
A powerful statement on human nature, and on how much (or how little) we are defined by our potential instead of how we act on it. |
|

The Day the Earth Stood Still 1951, G)
A humanistic and morally ambiguous tale of nuclear tension featuring a benevolent alien visiting our world. A SF masterpiece. |

Gojira 1954, Unrated)
The original Godzilla was a horror movie with no pretense of good and evil, simply the mind-numbing destruction of a man-made force. |

Wings of Desire 1987, PG-13)
The closest moviemaking has come to create true poetry. |

Das Boot (The Boat) 1981, R)
To call this movie the 'best submarine movie ever' is to ignore just how tall it towers over every other movie of the genre it spawned. |

Children of Men 2006, R)
A fantastic SF movie like we rarely see. Dark, gritty, significant, and very, VERY well-directed. Some of the scenes are gut-wrenching and unforgettable. |

The Dark Knight 2008, PG-13)
This was SO much more than just a superhero movie... It's a gripping crime saga and morality tale. Stunning and absolutely mind-blowing. |
