|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Amélie (Le Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain) 2001, R)
Sweet, romantic fairy-tale is set not in the Paris of reality, but the Paris we all like to think is actually there. |
|
| 2 |
Anne of Green Gables 1985, G)
I get lost in this movie. Anne has always been a heroine of mine. |
|
| 3 |
Breakfast at Tiffany's 1961, PG)
Obivously, a perfect film. A favorite of mine at age 12, and it's only gotten better over the years. |
|
| 4 |
Dawn of the Dead 1978, R)
Romero's best- sets a gold standard for zombie films which are actually social commentaries soaked with blood that comes in a peculiar shade of Crayola red. |
|
| 5 |
Hard Candy 2005, R)
An amazing pas de deux that is one of the great un-sung comedies of recent years. |
|
| 6 |
Hedwig and the Angry Inch 2001, R)
Brilliant, awe-inspiring, tender, and ultra-glam. |
|
| 7 |
Howl's Moving Castle 2005, PG)
The best Miyazaki. For an animated character, Howl is really, really hot and the music is marvelous. |
|
| 8 |
Joe Versus the Volcano 1990, PG)
Under-rated gem. Ignore people who don't like this film- they're not worth your time. |
|
| 9 |
Little Women 1994, PG)
The chick flick all men should watch because it's an amazing glimpse into sisterhood (literal and figurative). |
|
| 10 |
Meet Me In St. Louis 1944, Unrated)
Another movie I grew up watching and has only gotten better with each viewing. |
|
| 11 |
MirrorMask 2005, PG)
The shocking part is that this was never theatrically shown in Indianapolis. Like Labyrinth, only well-made. |
|
| 12 |
Persuasion 1995, PG)
Many consider this to be Austen's darkest work. Ciaran Hinds is one of the most perfect Austen heroes and the perfect embodiment of an ideal. Swoon... |
|
| 13 |
A Room With A View 1986, PG)
This movie is the best movie ever made and I cant' elaborate past that. |
|
| 14 |
The Saddest Music in the World 2003, R)
Like nothing else. The apex of Maddin's aspirations and skills. |
|
| 15 |
Secretary 2002, R)
How many films are honest representations of BDSM? Not enough- this one gets it right and does it in a humane and funny way. It's an odd choice of words, but it's such a gentle romance. |
|
| 16 |
The City of Lost Children (La Cité des Enfants Perdus) 1997, R)
Gorgeous, sublime, completely f***ed-up and, rarest of all qualities in modern film- it's something you haven't already seen. Everyone has to see this movie. |
|

Night Watch (Nochnoi Dozor) 2004, R)
