My Favorite Movies

The movie is brilliant. A simple, interesting, straight, touching, intriguing and disturbing argument. A psychiatric hospital seen by the eyes of the condemned one (Jack Nicholson with one of his biggest interpretations, accompanied by a fantastic handful of actors). Not to lose ...

Several crossed histories show the underworld of the crime in Los Angeles wrapping curious characters, violent confrontations, quick dialogs and perverse mood. Excellent

The epic masterpiece of Francis Ford Coppola does not need presentations...

Kurosawa is brilliant and it gives us a technically excellent masterpiece. One of the best movies of the History of the cinema. The intensity of this work marked the future movies of action and deserved even a remake produced in the USA: The Magnificent Seven

Blade Runner is one of the best movies of scientific fiction of always, contemplating one of the most prepared, detailed and solid visions of the future already filmed. Stone presents us a future exhausted, dense, polluted and violent world. A future magnificently conceived in the sceneries of Syd Mead, where Harrison Ford is the protagonist, an ex-agent of the police officer that is puts in charge of an investigation in Los Angeles, in the century XXI.
Blade Runner transcends the type, through philosophical, political and moral meditations, questioning contemporary societies. It incites existential reflections on the life and the death, on the meaning of humanity, the nature and relevance of the memory in our existence, on the wish of immortality. It is a glorious analysis of our planet, a brilliant dissertation on the development and evolution of the humanity. Blade Runner is one of those rare movies that dare predicting the future and whose conjectures turn out to be more right while the years go by.

Fabulous interpretations of an extraordinary cast. A masterpiece of Sergio Leone.

For someone, the best movie of Hollywood of all the times

Violent and controversial movie. Some persons hate, adore others.

How someone can joins again the urbane society, after having survived the horrors of the war? With ' The Hunter ', Cimino talks to us about the psychological irreversible effects that the war can provoke in the soldiers. The magisterial interpretations alternate between images of extreme and raw violence and banal scenes of day by day. The music of Shadows is a bonus.

"It is from beginning to end, a dance of death" Sérgio Leone

it is my favorite western-spaghetti. The slow rhythm of the movie together with the music of Morricone, they make this movie an authentic filmed poetry. The initial scene is fabulous.

'Nikita' is an excellent movie of action and suspense. Written and directed by the French filmmaker, Luc Besson, he is undoubtedly one of the most important movies of the French cinema of the 90's. Great interpretations of Anne Parillaud, Jean Reno, Jean-Hughes Anglade and Jeanne Moreau.
The American remake ' Point of no return ' doesn't reach the level of the original...

Based on the Tennessee Williams play, is one exciting film with intelligent dialogue and a dramatic atmosphere. I am a huge Paul Newman fan and I see his all movies.
In this movie, Newman and Elizabeth Taylor have brilliant interpretations!!! I will never be able to forget Maggie the cat... hot, very hot...

Bringing up, Baby is one of the most amusing and interesting movies of the history of the cinema. The performances of Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant are simply excellent.

Joe Pesci and Marisa Tomei (Oscar for a remarkable interpretation) in a comedy not to be missed. I see this movie again and again

For me, it is one of the best movies of the brothers Coen

Kubrick, one of the greats directors

The relation of these two persons had not anything to give right...

80.000 Years ago, at the dawn of mankind, prehistorical men knew how to preserve accidental fire, but didn't master at all the technique to set fire them selves. At those cruel and raw days, fire ensured the survival of the human race. Tribes assembled close to a fireplace to benefit its strength and shelter. Tribes that possessed fire were protected, as if they possessed life itself.
La Guerre du Feu (Quest for Fire) may be a monotonous and annoying movie for those who aren't interested to this prehistorically matters. However, those who take interest at the reason's flourishing and at the growth of technologies will enjoy the movie.
La Guerre du Feu is the movie that better shows us the prehistorical age in all his realism and rawness... Brilliant! A Jean Jacques Annaud's masterpiece...

Life is beautiful....

Exciting, sensitive and beautiful... a masterpiece

A hymn to the courage and determination, shows us that a free spirit is above any prison. Excellent interpretations of McQueen and Hoffman

Cult movie of John Carpenter.
A urban western.
It's much better than the remake of 2005...

One of the movies of my life...

One of the best movies of Woody Allen

"Amici miei" it is unforgettable. Intelligent, irreverent, surprising and, especially, very funny.
Old friends who, in spite of men in their fifties and established in the life, are still to play terrible jokes to all the people they meet. Politically incorrect, chauvinistic and without scruples, they do not save anybody. Not even Religion, not even Family and not even ethics.
All the actors have great interpretations but Ugo Tognazzi is fantastic. Probably it is the best Italian comedy that I already seen...

This movie is far from being simply another war movie. Such a film had never been done before. Trough the madness of Vietnam-war, Coppola offers an overwhelming vision of the most deep and gloomy traces of human soul.
Apocalypse Now is a remarkable tale of one man seeking for another man, maybe even seeking him self in his deepness. The main stream that passes over this movie is the ambiguity of lucid clearheaded Americans in the search of an insane lunatic man, or maybe on the contrary insane lunatic Americans searching for a clearheaded man.
This masterpiece shows indeed how deeply a war can injure mankind. All the characters playing this battle seem to be suffering from a general insanity, caused by multiple reasons: the fact of being so far away from home; living so close to blood-insatiable men; being, by the stress of circumstances, forced to kill innocent, unknown people and at least but not least, witnessing the death of comrades and friends.
Apocalypse Now is a conspicuous movie, since the narration of the facts is so cruel and psicochotic, that allows the spectator to feel the pain, the sorrow and the estranged trauma of those soldiers fighting so far away from home a non-sense war.
Several scenes are remarkable, some of them I point out: the soldiers surfing while the bombardment; the final scene, in which a slaughter of an ox is shown parallelly to the murder of Colonel Walter Kurtz. However I elect the surfing-bombardment scene as the most wonderful in the film history. The assault to the village having as sound track Wagner's Walkürenritt (The Ride of the Valkyries) is also a masterly, prodigious scene.
Martin Sheen plays in this film - after my view - the best role of his career; Dennis Hopper has a good interpretation and Robert Duvall plays a phenomenal role as Lieutenant Colonel Bill Kilgore. On the contrary, Marlon Brando is not in a good shape, being his interpretation much weaker then others of his career.
All the aspects of the direction and production of this film are amazing.
The sound track is magisterial: Absolutely brilliant the choice of The End (Doors) at the very beginning; I can't get no satisfaction (Rolling Stones) during a break of the 'ship's solder crew', and, as already mentioned, Wagner's The Ride of the Valkyries during the village assault. (One can imagine that helicopters were invented to fly on Wagner's music).
How can such a movie loose the Oscar? (That year the Oscar went to Robert Benton's (Kramer vs. Kramer )
Apocalypse Now is a memorial film, hypnotic, apocalyptic, brilliant...
