Top five films
1- 'Waltz With Bashir'. A subtitled film about memory repression after the Lebanon war. It is Beautiful but harrowing. Amazing film. 2- 'Donnie Darko'. Complicated film that encourages individual interpretation about the events as they unfold. Some fantastic visual metaphors in it. 3- 'Any Given Sunday'. As a College Football & NFL fan, a film with such fantastic cinematography, is a must to see. Not all about the game either & some good performances. 4- 'Watchmen'. I have read the graphic novel & I have to say, how I imagined one of the first scenes with the button to go, is exactly how it happened. 5- 'Sin City'. Purely for the fact that it is visually stunning. Love a bit of 'film noir' effect & with a very subtle use of colour, it really is an aesthetic pleasure. |

A few favorites-
V is for Vendetta- striking how close fiction can be to truth's edge The Empire Strikes Back- 8 year old KNJ learns the good guys don't always win and also how horrific paternity reveals can be long before Maury Povich made it a money maker The Princess Bride- One of the great movies of the 80s Cloud Atlas- it just resonated with me in every way it didn't for those who panned it

It's hard to pick only 5 favourites. Some movies I love just because of the costumes or the sets and not for any other reason.
Out of Africa Gandhi Dr Zhivago Moulin Rouge The Thomas Crown Affair (Steve McQueen & Faye Dunaway one) The Remains of the Day Big Wednesday Pearl Harbor Rosemary's Baby *spooky but incredibly made. I could go on, but that's more than 5 already. |
