People that say movies aren't an art form needs to wake up. Also, while it's true that movies based on a book fall flat more often than not, movies in themselves can portray emotion and circumstance that engages your mind in a whole other way. So, I'll start with a few of my favourites!
The Royal Tennenbaums
The Life Aquatic
Pulp Fiction
2001: A Space Odyssey
Papillon
Iron Man
Sideways
Forrest Gump
Robocop
Contact
Close Encounters of The Third Kind
The Incredibles
Four Rooms
Kill Bill 1&2
The Pink Panther Movies (not the Steve Martin drivel)
And many, many more....

Back To The Future(s).
Terminator(s).
The Matrix(s).
The Time Machine.
Men In Black.
I am Legend.
I like a lot of films, but only some that I watch over and over again. I've just watched The Matrix again and I've understood something else about it this time. Actually understanding that The Matrix isn't real. It felt wierd.

My list varies depending upon mood, but some of the best I've seen (in no particular order)...
Unforgiven
The Story of Qiu Ju
Casablanca
Bladerunner
Sahib, Bibi aur Ghulam
Memento
Spirited away
Brief Encounter
Aakrosh
Pulp Fiction
Can't remember what the most recent, or newest, film that I've seen might be, but it's probably one of last year's rubbish Hollywood blockbusters - eminently forgettable, and forgotten. |

Star Wars (all episodes)
