Your Top Movies & Recommendations

I don't want to give away too much info on the movie but part of the concept is, we (humans) try so hard to conquer what is thrown at as. We try because we believe that the "good" that we are doing out weighs the consequences; and the way they go about it and the example they use is huge! And that is all that I am saying.

Anybody ever heard/read about the film MIRRORMASK?

I was suggested it because I love surrealism and Labyrinth, and my therapist said it's basically like a sequel to Labyrinth. From what I saw it looks cool, but what do you think?

that's not enough at all. even great great actors or great great directors make a mistake. you should at least wait until u see it and then present your subjective opinion. I would never recommend a movie even if it got 5/5 in all magazines until i see it by myself

.

er, maybe i'm a bit picky

and what i would recommend is:
Wrestler, Yes Man, Slumdog Millionare, The curious case of Benjamin Button.

fiction · January 11, 2009, 12:53:53

My top seven, without specific ranking should (or could) be:

Pulp Fiction
Ed Wood
Mississippi Burning
Little Miss Sunshine (this film didn´t work so good the second time I saw it, the surprise at the end is so strong. brilliant soundtrack by DeVotchKa)
What´s Eating Gilbert Grape
Perfume, The Story of A Murderer (Never thought that they could do such a great film of that brilliant book)
Vampire´s Kiss (Most of my friends thinks that this is one of the worst movies ever made but I just love it)

Four (new) movies that I must see this year:

The Road (My favorite book by Cormac McCarthy filmed, starred by Viggo Mortensen)
Valhalla Rising (Viking myths with Mads Mikkelsen as the starr)
Shutter Island (another great book but this time from Dennis Lehane´s pen. Leonardo DiCaprio starrs. I do hesitate a bit though since the huge surprise of the very last page of that book is already reveald to me as a reader of the book)
Public Enemies (Of course I must see Mr Depp as John Dillinger)

Must put on a few others...

Lovers on the Bridge
Mars Attacks (just love it)
Lost in Translation
From Hell
Matrix I
Once Upon a Time in America
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Broadway Danny Rose
Hannah and Her Sisters
Radio Days...

rumble fish has an absolutely amazing soundtrack! and godfather I,II are one of my favourite movies of all times. and so is Dracula.
his daughter is an interesting director, too.
