Top five favourite films
 

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.

Any Given Sunday was very good. Donnie Darko I read the spoiler to, still might watch. Sin City was great, Missed the most recent one because speakers at theatre blew out lol. Figures, the one time I leave the house in weeks Watchmen never heard of. Will have to look up.

My five,
The Godfather I
The Godfather II
Goodfellas
A Steetcar Names Desire
Citizen Kane, Jane Eyre, and All about Eve lol couldn't decide

All excellent choices sir...

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

1. Star Wars
2. The Abyss
3. Indiana Jones Movies
4. Back to the Future
5. Bourne Ultimatum

All time favourite:
The Italian Job (original, not atrocious remake)

4 of many I will watch any time:
Heaven Can Wait (1978)
Star Wars (original trilogy as a marathon cheat)
Wargames
Trading Places.

Can you guess when I grew up?
