- DirectorPark Chan-wookStarsChoi Min-sikYoo Ji-taeKang Hye-jeongAfter being kidnapped and imprisoned for fifteen years, Oh Dae-Su is released, only to find that he must track down his captor in five days.Don't underestimate Korean cinema. Just don't.
- DirectorAng LeeStarsChow Yun-FatMichelle YeohZiyi ZhangA young Chinese warrior steals a sword from a famed swordsman and then escapes into a world of romantic adventure with a mysterious man in the frontier of the nation.So beautiful...
- DirectorGuillermo del ToroStarsIvana BaqueroAriadna GilSergi LópezIn the Falangist Spain of 1944, the bookish young stepdaughter of a sadistic army officer escapes into an eerie but captivating fantasy world.Guillermo Del Toro is strange enough to be noticed.
The guy can do the best and the very bad, but at least he managed to develop his own style.
If you want to get introduced to Del Toro's fantastic style, watch Pan's Labyrinth. And if you like it, you can watch The Devil's Backbone which is the "brother" of Pan's Labyrinth. - DirectorDavid LynchStarsNaomi WattsLaura HarringJustin TherouxAfter a car wreck on Mulholland Drive renders a woman amnesiac, she and a Hollywood-hopeful search for clues and answers across Los Angeles in a twisting venture beyond dreams and reality.Like many of us, I didn't understand the plot.
Like some of us I loved it anyway. This movie has its ways to avoid cliches and keep the suspense. - DirectorDavid CronenbergStarsNaomi WattsViggo MortensenArmin Mueller-StahlA teenager who dies during childbirth leaves clues in her journal that could tie her child to a rape involving a violent Russian mob family.Better than A History Of Violence even though it's also a great movie.
The Dead Zone, The Fly, Spider and eXistenZ are good too, but if I love Cronenberg it's only because of Eastern Promises. - DirectorM. Night ShyamalanStarsBruce WillisHaley Joel OsmentToni ColletteMalcolm Crowe, a child psychologist, starts treating a young boy, Cole, who encounters dead people and convinces him to help them. In turn, Cole helps Malcolm reconcile with his estranged wife.Shyamalan is easy to sum up :
The Sixth Sense >>(>>>>>) Unbreakable >> The Village > Signs > The Last Airbender - DirectorJung Doo HongJee-woon KimStarsLee Byung-hunShin Min-aKim Yeong-cheolThings go wrong for a high ranking mobster when he doesn't follow his boss's orders.If he were american, Lee Byung-Hun would be as famous as Brad Pitt.
Awesome movie, typically the kind of movie which will have a remake with Di Caprio. (Did I hear Infernal Affairs vs The Departed and The Chaser which doesn't have a remake with Di Caprio yet but maybe soon ?)
But I have to admit that The Departed is better than Infernal Affairs, so that's a good remake.
And I hope that the remake of The Chaser will be better than The Chaser. - DirectorLars von TrierStarsBjörkCatherine DeneuveDavid MorseAn Eastern European US immigrant with a love for musicals has to cope with the gradual loss of her vision.The guy who directed this film can say whatever he wants, I don't care, I still respect him.
Movies never manage to make me cry.
That's what I thought before I saw this one. - DirectorJuan José CampanellaStarsRicardo DarínSoledad VillamilPablo RagoA retired legal counselor writes a novel hoping to find closure for one of his past unresolved homicide cases and for his unreciprocated love with his superior - both of which still haunt him decades later.Very rare movie.
At the end everything is solved, there's nothing left to say, you're not frustrated, you're not disappointed, you're just amazed, it's perfect. - DirectorPhilippe LioretStarsMélanie LaurentKad MeradIsabelle RenauldLili returns from holidays and learns that her twin brother left the house after a violent argument with their father.Mélanie Laurent, here's my phone number : +3366468668.
Please don't call me if you're not Mélanie Laurent. - DirectorTerry GilliamStarsBruce WillisMadeleine StoweBrad PittIn a future world devastated by disease, a convict is sent back in time to gather information about the man-made virus that wiped out most of the human population on the planet.Not considering the Monthy Python part, here is the best of Terry Gilliam.
Brazil (even though the end is great), Las Vegas Parano and Dr Parnassus don't reach the level of 12 Monkeys.
This movie is a perfect definition of the word "mysterious". - DirectorMarc WebbStarsZooey DeschanelJoseph Gordon-LevittGeoffrey ArendAfter being dumped by the girl he believes to be his soulmate, hopeless romantic Tom Hansen reflects on their relationship to try and figure out where things went wrong and how he can win her back.Because this movie has the FUNNIEST credit I've ever seen.
Here it is :
"AUTHOR'S NOTE: The following is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to any persons living or dead is purely coincidental.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Especially you Jenny Beckman.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Bitch."
And the rest of the movie is also awesome. - DirectorDavid FincherStarsMorgan FreemanBrad PittKevin SpaceyTwo detectives, a rookie and a veteran, hunt a serial killer who uses the seven deadly sins as his motives.I like you David. Not enough to put Benjamin Button in my list though.
(And your Alien is the best of the 4, I just can't stand the one made by Cameron.) - DirectorChristopher NolanStarsChristian BaleHeath LedgerAaron EckhartWhen the menace known as the Joker wreaks havoc and chaos on the people of Gotham, Batman must accept one of the greatest psychological and physical tests of his ability to fight injustice.Batman Begins isn't in the list but good work Chris, you almost have your whole filmography in my list...
- DirectorGuy RitchieStarsJason StathamBrad PittStephen GrahamUnscrupulous boxing promoters, violent bookmakers, a Russian gangster, incompetent amateur robbers and supposedly Jewish jewelers fight to track down a priceless stolen diamond.Because Guy Ritchie is a great guy. Thanks.
- DirectorQuentin TarantinoStarsJohn TravoltaUma ThurmanSamuel L. JacksonThe lives of two mob hitmen, a boxer, a gangster and his wife, and a pair of diner bandits intertwine in four tales of violence and redemption.Because it's pure fun.
A foot massage ? - DirectorMartin ScorseseStarsLeonardo DiCaprioMatt DamonJack NicholsonAn undercover cop and a mole in the police attempt to identify each other while infiltrating an Irish gang in South Boston.If you think film remakes and/or music remixes are always below the originals... Well... You're wrong. Period.
- DirectorAlex ProyasStarsRufus SewellKiefer SutherlandJennifer ConnellyA man struggles with memories of his past, which include a wife he cannot remember and a nightmarish world no one else ever seems to wake up from.Because questioning our human condition in a science fiction context is a brilliant idea.
- DirectorClint EastwoodStarsSean PennTim RobbinsKevin BaconThe tragic murder of a 19-year-old girl reunites three childhood friends still living in Boston--the victim's gangster father, a detective, and the disturbed man they both suspect of killing her.The best of Eastwood. Quite an achievement.
- DirectorMilos FormanStarsJack NicholsonLouise FletcherMichael BerrymanIn the Fall of 1963, a Korean War veteran and criminal pleads insanity and is admitted to a mental institution, where he rallies up the scared patients against the tyrannical nurse.Second film that made me cry. I'm so sensitive you know.
- DirectorMichel GondryStarsJim CarreyKate WinsletTom WilkinsonWhen their relationship turns sour, a couple undergoes a medical procedure to have each other erased from their memories forever.I don't like comedies when they are comedies. This film is much more than a comedy.
The Science of Sleep is another good film by Michel Gondry, Be Kind Rewind is a bit below. - DirectorTim BurtonStarsJohnny DeppChristina RicciMiranda RichardsonIchabod Crane is sent to Sleepy Hollow to investigate the decapitations of three people; the culprit is legendary apparition The Headless Horseman.Fun fact:
In The Dead Zone (1983), Christopher Walken's character talks about the legend of the headless horseman.
Is that what gave the idea to Tim Burton to cast him as the horseman, 16 years later? - DirectorStanley KubrickStarsJack NicholsonShelley DuvallDanny LloydA family heads to an isolated hotel for the winter where a sinister presence influences the father into violence, while his psychic son sees horrific forebodings from both past and future.My favorite Kubrick.
- DirectorAlejandro AmenábarStarsEduardo NoriegaPenélope CruzChete LeraA very handsome man finds the love of his life, but he suffers an accident and needs to have his face rebuilt by surgery after it is severely disfigured.Penelope Cruz is beautiful, the story is beautiful, the movie is beautiful.
(Vanilla Sky is a remake by the way) - DirectorSam MendesStarsKevin SpaceyAnnette BeningThora BirchA sexually frustrated suburban father has a mid-life crisis after becoming infatuated with his daughter's best friend.I have a theory about Kevin Spacey, and this theory is a complete spoiler so don't read it unless you're sure you've got a good cinematographic culture:
Kevin Spacey always plays the bad guy who wins (SPOILER : Seven, Usual Suspect) or the good guy who loses (SPOIIIIILER : American Beauty, LA Confidential).
Horrible Bosses doesn't count.
Concerning Sam Mendes, I'd say I liked Jarhead but Road to Perdition is awful. If some day you want to watch Road to Perdition, well don't watch it and watch Léon instead. - DirectorNeil JordanStarsBrad PittTom CruiseAntonio BanderasA vampire tells his epic life story: love, betrayal, loneliness, and hunger.Awesome. Don't dare saying you like vampire movies while you haven't seen this one.
- DirectorCédric KlapischStarsRomain DurisKelly ReillyAudrey TautouFive years after their summer together in Barcelona, Xavier, William, Wendy, Martine and Isabelle reunite.A good French movie doesn't mean Amelie Poulain.
- DirectorRidley ScottStarsRussell CroweJoaquin PhoenixConnie NielsenA former Roman General sets out to exact vengeance against the corrupt emperor who murdered his family and sent him into slavery.Gladiator is awesome... but there's a but.
In 2010, Ridley Scott directed Robin Hood. Casting Russel Crowe, the purpose was obviously to recreate the awesomeness of Gladiator. It was a big failure.
In 2012, he made Prometheus... So terrible I wish every single copy of this movie could be destroyed.
Ridley Scott follows the money (cf Prometheus 2 that he will produce...). I don't blame him, I'm just saying that Ridley Scott is not a label to trust if you want a good movie. - DirectorLars von TrierStarsNicole KidmanPaul BettanyLauren BacallA woman on the run from the mob is reluctantly accepted in a small Colorado community in exchange for labor, but when a search visits the town she finds out that their support has a price.The most creative movie I've ever seen.
- DirectorMathieu KassovitzStarsVincent CasselHubert KoundéSaïd Taghmaoui24 hours in the lives of three young men in the French suburbs the day after a violent riot.This is an excellent French movie and this is not Amelie Poulain. Really really not.
- DirectorEthan CoenJoel CoenStarsTommy Lee JonesJavier BardemJosh BrolinViolence and mayhem ensue after a hunter stumbles upon the aftermath of a drug deal gone wrong and over two million dollars in cash near the Rio Grande.The psychopath in the movie... he's Penelope Cruz boyfriend. I don't know how it happened guys, I don't know.
Joel and Ethan, you're good but I didn't select Burn After Reading, Ladykillers and Intolerable Cruelty.
Don't worry you have some other movies in my list though. - DirectorGus Van SantStarsElias McConnellAlex FrostEric DeulenSeveral ordinary high school students go through their daily routine as two others prepare for something more malevolent.Please explain me why this film is so underrated !
It's the only film by Gus you will find here, I didn't really like Good Will Hunting, Paranoid Park isn't so good and Harvey Milk is ok but it didn't catch me. - DirectorAndrew DominikStarsBrad PittCasey AffleckSam ShepardRobert Ford, who has idolized Jesse James since childhood, tries hard to join the resurgent gang of the Missouri outlaw, but gradually becomes resentful of the bandit leader.Quite boring, but I'll always remember when Brad Pitt walks alone on the ice.
Yeah I'm weird but I'm ok, thank you. - DirectorChristopher NolanStarsGuy PearceCarrie-Anne MossJoe PantolianoA man with short-term memory loss attempts to track down his wife's murderer.You'll remember this movie, better than the main character.
- DirectorLars von TrierStarsKirsten DunstCharlotte GainsbourgKiefer SutherlandTwo sisters find their already strained relationship challenged as a mysterious new planet threatens to collide with Earth.The wedding part is much more depressing than the second part with the planet.
The very last scene is unforgettable. - DirectorJohn WooStarsJohn TravoltaNicolas CageJoan AllenTo foil a terrorist plot, FBI agent Sean Archer assumes the identity of the criminal Castor Troy who murdered his son through facial transplant surgery, but the crook wakes up prematurely and vows revenge.Because sometimes Woo makes good films. This guy is quite random.
- DirectorTony KayeStarsEdward NortonEdward FurlongBeverly D'AngeloLiving a life marked by violence, neo-Nazi Derek finally goes to prison after killing two black youths. Upon his release, Derek vows to change; he hopes to prevent his brother, Danny, who idolizes Derek, from following in his footsteps.An important movie which should be part of every educational system.
- DirectorYôjirô TakitaStarsMasahiro MotokiRyôko HirosueTsutomu YamazakiSoon after buying an expensive cello, Daigo learns that his orchestra is disbanding. He moves back to his hometown with his wife, where he answers an ad for what Daigo thinks is a travel agency but is, in actuality, a mortuary.After this film I almost wanted to work in the coffin business. For ten seconds. Then I changed my mind. I really changed my mind.
- DirectorJonathan DemmeStarsJodie FosterAnthony HopkinsScott GlennA young F.B.I. cadet must receive the help of an incarcerated and manipulative cannibal killer to help catch another serial killer, a madman who skins his victims.And if you have AIDS you also want to see Philadelphia. If you don't have AIDS you still want to see Philadelphia because you or one of your friends might have it some day.
(Use condoms.
Or watch Twilight.) - DirectorKar-Wai WongStarsTony Leung Chiu-waiMaggie CheungSiu Ping-LamTwo neighbors form a strong bond after both suspect extramarital activities of their spouses. However, they agree to keep their bond platonic so as not to commit similar wrongs.If you like this movie you have to watch Chungking Express.
If you don't like it I cannot blame you. I loved this movie only because of the poetry of the idea that : there is a time when you can seize something, maybe you want to seize it but you don't dare, maybe you don't want to, maybe you just don't know what you want to do, but anyway, this time doesn't last forever and when it's gone it's gone forever.
2046 is less good, but Wong Kar Wai makes movies you'll never see elsewhere. - DirectorSpike LeeStarsEdward NortonBarry PepperPhilip Seymour HoffmanCornered by the DEA, convicted New York drug dealer Montgomery Brogan reevaluates his life in the 24 remaining hours before facing a seven-year jail term.I don't have a 99 yet but I'm working on it.
Great, great movie. - DirectorJee-woon KimStarsLee Byung-hunChoi Min-sikJeon Gook-hwanA secret agent exacts revenge on a serial killer through a series of captures and releases.Lee Byung-Hun again.
This movie is a lesson of psychological and physical gore, American people, just shut up and watch (haha, am I being too sassy ?). - DirectorAkira KurosawaStarsToshirô MifuneMachiko KyôMasayuki MoriThe rape of a bride and the murder of her samurai husband are recalled from the perspectives of a bandit, the bride, the samurai's ghost and a woodcutter.The best of Kurosawa.
Seven Samurai, Yojimbo, Ran and Throne of Blood are also good, watch them if you like swords, landscapes and strange people speaking japanese (and Shakespeare). - DirectorBong Joon HoStarsSong Kang-hoKim Sang-kyungKim Roe-haIn a small Korean province in 1986, two detectives struggle with the case of multiple young women being found raped and murdered by an unknown culprit.Did you like Zodiac ? Well, this korean movie is far better.
- DirectorEdgar WrightStarsSimon PeggNick FrostKate AshfieldThe uneventful, aimless lives of a London electronics salesman and his layabout roommate are disrupted by the zombie apocalypse.I didn't like Hot Fuzz at all, but Shaun, you're the best. A real comedy with real zombies and real fun.
- DirectorQuentin TarantinoStarsBrad PittDiane KrugerEli RothIn Nazi-occupied France during World War II, a plan to assassinate Nazi leaders by a group of Jewish U.S. soldiers coincides with a theatre owner's vengeful plans for the same.I am this very strange guy who finds that reservoir dogs is just ok, who thinks that kill bill (whatever the number) is shi**y but who loves PF and Inglourious Basterds. Why not.
- DirectorChristopher NolanStarsLeonardo DiCaprioJoseph Gordon-LevittElliot PageA thief who steals corporate secrets through the use of dream-sharing technology is given the inverse task of planting an idea into the mind of a C.E.O., but his tragic past may doom the project and his team to disaster.Because yes, dreams and movies are meant to be together. Yes.
- DirectorJohn CassavetesStarsBen GazzaraPeter FalkJohn CassavetesAfter the death of a common friend, three married men leave their lives together, seeking pleasure and freedom and ultimately leaving for London.Because I'm a man (ok, a boy).
(If I were a woman I would have selected A Woman Under The Influence, but as I said I'm a man (ok, a boy)) - DirectorStanley KubrickStarsMatthew ModineR. Lee ErmeyVincent D'OnofrioA pragmatic U.S. Marine observes the dehumanizing effects the Vietnam War has on his fellow recruits from their brutal boot camp training to the bloody street fighting in Hue.Unusual movie divided in two parts. My favorite one is the first one, even though I find it utterly depressing.
- DirectorAlejandro G. IñárrituStarsEmilio EchevarríaGael García BernalGoya ToledoAn amateur dog fighter, a supermodel, and a derelict assassin, all separately struggling to find love, find their lives transformed by a devastating car wreck in Mexico City.Like 21 grams but better than 21 grams.
And with this quotation I love : “If you want to make God laugh, tell Him your plans.” - DirectorYimou ZhangStarsJet LiTony Leung Chiu-waiMaggie CheungA defense officer, Nameless, was summoned by the King of Qin regarding his success of terminating three warriors.If you like it, watch House of Flying Daggers and Curse of the Golden Flower.
I personally find great poetry in many Chinese movies. - DirectorSteven SpielbergStarsHaley Joel OsmentJude LawFrances O'ConnorA highly advanced robotic boy longs to become "real" so that he can regain the love of his human mother.I love the end.
Spoiler : Have you ever seen a movie which is divided in two parts, one happening nowadays and one happening in ten thousands years ?
(What ? You said 2001 ? Ok, yes, but it's different...) - DirectorFederico FelliniStarsMarcello MastroianniAnouk AiméeClaudia CardinaleA harried movie director retreats into his memories and fantasies.Better than La Dolce Vita.
- DirectorSteven SpielbergStarsLiam NeesonRalph FiennesBen KingsleyIn German-occupied Poland during World War II, industrialist Oskar Schindler gradually becomes concerned for his Jewish workforce after witnessing their persecution by the Nazis.Sorry for not being original.
But I didn't select Indiana Jones (1,2,3,4), Jaws, Jurrasic Park, Munich, the Third Kind, Hook and the Terminal. So I'm still a bit original, am I not ? - DirectorAkira KurosawaStarsToshirô MifuneMasayuki MoriKyôko KagawaA vengeful young man marries the daughter of a corrupt industrialist in order to seek justice for his father's suicide.Yes it's Kurosawa, and there's Toshiro Mifune but not a single samurai ! Can you believe that ?
This movie is a brilliant adaptation of Hamlet. - DirectorStanley KubrickStarsRyan O'NealMarisa BerensonPatrick MageeAn Irish rogue wins the heart of a rich widow and assumes her dead husband's aristocratic position in 18th-century England.Because Barry is nothing but the average dude.
- DirectorLuc BessonStarsJean RenoGary OldmanNatalie Portman12-year-old Mathilda is reluctantly taken in by Léon, a professional assassin, after her family is murdered. An unusual relationship forms as she becomes his protégée and learns the assassin's trade.Jean Réno also plays in good movies ! It happens !
This is the only really good movie Luc Besson ever made. The 5th Element, the Big Blue, Joan of Arc and Arthur and the Invisibles don't compare with Léon. - DirectorTomas AlfredsonStarsKåre HedebrantLina LeanderssonPer RagnarOskar, an overlooked and bullied boy, finds love and revenge through Eli, a beautiful but peculiar girl.You need such a movie after watching Twilight to purify your spirit.
- DirectorMichel LeclercStarsSara ForestierJacques GamblinZinedine SoualemA young, extroverted left-wing activist who sleeps with her political opponents to convert them to her cause is successful until she meets her match.A french comedy, and it's still not Amelie Poulain.
Come on guys look at this movie it's great !
No you're not interested ?
Ok, in a scene the main actress takes the subway while she's totally nude !
Interested now ? - DirectorMartin ScorseseStarsLeonardo DiCaprioEmily MortimerMark RuffaloTeddy Daniels and Chuck Aule, two US marshals, are sent to an asylum on a remote island in order to investigate the disappearance of a patient, where Teddy uncovers a shocking truth about the place.Almost a masterpiece. Almost.
- DirectorJae-young KwakStarsCha Tae-hyunJun Ji-hyunIn-mun KimA young man sees a drunk, cute woman standing too close to the tracks at a metro station in Seoul and pulls her back. She ends up getting him into trouble repeatedly after that, starting on the train.I was surprised, I thought Korean movies were only about revenge.
This one is a comedy and is quite fun. - DirectorPark Chan-wookStarsSong Kang-hoShin Ha-kyunBae DoonaA recently laid off factory worker kidnaps his former boss' friend's daughter, hoping to use the ransom money to pay for his sister's kidney transplant.Here we are. Pure revenge, pure gore.
Prohibited under 48 years old.
(I'm not 48 but I didn't know so I watched it anyway, now I've warned you) - DirectorCameron CroweStarsBilly CrudupPatrick FugitKate HudsonA high-school boy in the early 1970s is given the chance to write a story for Rolling Stone magazine about an up-and-coming rock band as he accompanies them on their concert tour.Because I love this line :
"I am dark and mysterious and pissed off !" - DirectorFrancis Ford CoppolaStarsGary OldmanWinona RyderAnthony HopkinsThe centuries old vampire Count Dracula comes to England to seduce his barrister Jonathan Harker's fiancée Mina Murray and inflict havoc in the foreign land.My favorite from Coppola (Yes, more than the Godfather, yes).
- DirectorHayao MiyazakiStarsYôji MatsudaYuriko IshidaYûko TanakaOn a journey to find the cure for a Tatarigami's curse, Ashitaka finds himself in the middle of a war between the forest gods and Tatara, a mining colony. In this quest he also meets San, the Mononoke Hime.I didn't like Chihiro and the others, but Mononoke is different and great.
- DirectorKen LoachStarsCillian MurphyPádraic DelaneyLiam CunninghamAgainst the backdrop of the Irish War of Independence, two brothers fight a guerrilla war against British forces.Because Barbie's family can also make films.
...
Because it's Ken Loach...
You know, Ken...
What a terrible joke.
Anyway, this is the third movie that made me cry (less than Dancer in the Dark though). - DirectorDarren AronofskyStarsEllen BurstynJared LetoJennifer ConnellyThe drug-induced utopias of four Coney Island people are shattered when their addictions run deep..Best soundtrack ever.
- DirectorMichael MooreStarsMichael MooreCharlton HestonMarilyn MansonFilmmaker Michael Moore explores the roots of America's predilection for gun violence.F9/11 was less striking than this one.
And Marilyn Manson's interview is cult. - DirectorAntoine FuquaStarsDenzel WashingtonEthan HawkeScott GlennA rookie cop spends his first day as a Los Angeles narcotics officer with a rogue detective who isn't what he appears to be.Perfect mix between fun/suspense/sociology/twists.
- DirectorJoel CoenEthan CoenStarsJeff BridgesJohn GoodmanJulianne MooreJeff "The Dude" Lebowski, mistaken for a millionaire of the same name, seeks restitution for his ruined rug and enlists his bowling buddies to help get it.Dude, this movie had to be here dude.
- DirectorJim SheridanStarsDaniel Day-LewisPete PostlethwaiteAlison CrosbieAn Irish man's coerced confession to an I.R.A. bombing he did not commit results in the imprisonment of his father as well. Meanwhile, a British lawyer fights to clear their names and free them.This film made me wonder what is the most ridiculous between :
-Being accused and found guilty, but without any reason, you're guilty, that's all (cf Kafka).
Or :
-Being accused and found guilty of something real, but which is crazy and absurd (cf DDL and co).
Interesting movie about how the police can make you sign a confession, by the way. - DirectorDavid LynchStarsAnthony HopkinsJohn HurtAnne BancroftA Victorian surgeon rescues a heavily disfigured man who is mistreated while scraping a living as a side-show freak. Behind his monstrous façade, there is revealed a person of kindness, intelligence and sophistication.Fourth movie that made me cry.
It's from Lynch, nothing to do with the guy who directed Mulholland Drive. Even though it's actually supposed to be the same guy. - DirectorFrancis Ford CoppolaStarsMarlon BrandoAl PacinoJames CaanThe aging patriarch of an organized crime dynasty transfers control of his clandestine empire to his reluctant son.Good movie.
Totally overrated. - DirectorWoody AllenStarsRebecca HallScarlett JohanssonJavier BardemTwo friends on a summer holiday in Spain become enamored with the same painter, unaware that his ex-wife, with whom he has a tempestuous relationship, is about to re-enter the picture.Javier, you bl**dy bast*rd.
- DirectorCurtis HansonStarsKevin SpaceyRussell CroweGuy PearceAs corruption grows in 1950s Los Angeles, three policemen - one strait-laced, one brutal, and one sleazy - investigate a series of murders with their own brand of justice.The girl on the poster isn't so important in the movie, I assume she's just here for the poster.
Hey ! I'm not being sexist ! Just telling facts. - DirectorWoody AllenStarsScarlett JohanssonJonathan Rhys MeyersEmily MortimerAt a turning point in his life, a former tennis pro falls for an actress who happens to be dating his friend and soon-to-be brother-in-law.Scarlett ! Oh, Scarlett.
- DirectorAlain ChabatStarsGérard DepardieuChristian ClavierJamel DebbouzeAsterix and Obelix go to Egypt to help architect Edifis who is building a palace for Cleopatra.Only french people can understand this one.
- DirectorMichel HazanaviciusStarsFrançois DamiensJean DujardinKhalid MaadourSecret agent OSS 117 foils Nazis, beds local beauties, and brings peace to the Middle East.Comment est votre blanquette ?
- DirectorDavid FincherStarsJesse EisenbergAndrew GarfieldJustin TimberlakeAs Harvard student Mark Zuckerberg creates the social networking site that would become known as Facebook, he is sued by the twins who claimed he stole their idea and by the co-founder who was later squeezed out of the business.If you have a Facebook account...
- DirectorWoody AllenStarsWoody AllenDiane KeatonMariel HemingwayThe life of a divorced television writer dating a teenage girl is further complicated when he falls in love with his best friend's mistress.Beautiful movie, and this amazing quotation :
They're in a taxi : (Woody to Diane)
"You’re so beautiful I can hardly keep my eyes on the meter". - DirectorNeill BlomkampStarsSharlto CopleyDavid JamesJason CopeViolence ensues after an extraterrestrial race forced to live in slum-like conditions on Earth finds a kindred spirit in a government agent exposed to their biotechnology.A South African movie ? Unbelievable, and awesome.
- DirectorMartin McDonaghStarsColin FarrellBrendan GleesonCiarán HindsAfter a job gone wrong, hitman Ray and his partner await orders from their ruthless boss in Bruges, Belgium, the last place in the world Ray wants to be.Great, great film.
The end with Ralph Fiennes is amazing. - DirectorStanley KubrickStarsMalcolm McDowellPatrick MageeMichael BatesIn the future, a sadistic gang leader is imprisoned and volunteers for a conduct-aversion experiment, but it doesn't go as planned.Crazy film. Sometimes films need to be crazy.
- DirectorAlejandro AmenábarStarsNicole KidmanChristopher EcclestonFionnula FlanaganIn 1945, immediately following the end of Second World War, a woman who lives with her two photosensitive children on her darkened old family estate in the Channel Islands becomes convinced that the home is haunted.Kidman definitely have problems with kids. Great and strange movie.
- DirectorZack SnyderStarsGerard ButlerLena HeadeyDavid WenhamIn the ancient battle of Thermopylae, King Leonidas and 300 Spartans fight against Xerxes and his massive Persian army. They face insurmountable odds when they are betrayed by a Spartan reject.I'm sorry for this one, guilty pleasure.
- DirectorStanley KubrickStarsJames MasonShelley WintersSue LyonA middle-aged college professor becomes infatuated with a 14-year-old girl.I kissed a 17 years old girl once. Well, in fact I was 17 too, but let me tell you : the problems are quite the same.
- DirectorDavid FincherStarsBrad PittEdward NortonMeat LoafAn insomniac office worker and a devil-may-care soap maker form an underground fight club that evolves into much more.Yes I also was a teenager once.
- DirectorTerrence MalickStarsBrad PittSean PennJessica ChastainThe story of a family in Waco, Texas in 1956. The eldest son witnesses the loss of innocence and struggles with his parents' conflicting teachings.I only liked the first half (the documentary part), I really have nothing to say about the second half.
(No I'm not kidding, I really liked the part with the volcanos and the dinosaurs...) - DirectorTerry GilliamTerry JonesStarsGraham ChapmanJohn CleeseEric IdleKing Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table embark on a surreal, low-budget search for the Holy Grail, encountering many, very silly obstacles.A comedy from the 70's still makes me laugh, quite an achievement.
If you like it watch Life Of Brian, if not already done. - DirectorWes AndersonStarsOwen WilsonAdrien BrodyJason SchwartzmanA year after their father's funeral, three brothers travel across India by train in an attempt to bond with each other.Excellent comedy. Owen Wilson surprises me more and more everyday.
- DirectorPaul McGuiganStarsJosh HartnettBen KingsleyMorgan FreemanA case of mistaken identity lands Slevin into the middle of a war being plotted by two of the city's most rival crime bosses. Under constant surveillance by Detective Brikowski and assassin Goodkat, he must get them before they get him.Guilty pleasure maybe, but I really like it. An amazing twist ending.
- DirectorAndrew NiccolStarsEthan HawkeUma ThurmanJude LawA genetically inferior man assumes the identity of a superior one in order to pursue his lifelong dream of space travel.I wanted to write a comment with only four letters : A T C G, but I didn't manage so...
By the way Lord of War isn't here but watch it if you have the time. - DirectorThomas VinterbergStarsUlrich ThomsenHenning MoritzenThomas Bo LarsenAt Helge's 60th birthday party, some unpleasant family truths are revealed.Give me a D ! Give me an O ! Give me a G ! Give me an M ! Give me an E ! What's that spell ?
(If you've understood the joke it means you can die peacefully.) - DirectorKevin MacdonaldStarsJames McAvoyForest WhitakerGillian AndersonBased on the events of the brutal Ugandan dictator Idi Amin's regime as seen by his personal physician during the 1970s.Because I like Whitaker and because this movie is still bleeding in my mind even though I saw it years ago.
- DirectorPaul Thomas AndersonStarsTom CruiseJason RobardsJulianne MooreAn epic mosaic of interrelated characters in search of love, forgiveness and meaning in the San Fernando Valley.And what about There Will Be Blood ? Totally overrated.
- 19641h 35mPG8.4 (519K)97MetascoreDirectorStanley KubrickStarsPeter SellersGeorge C. ScottSterling HaydenAn unhinged American general orders a bombing attack on the Soviet Union, triggering a path to nuclear holocaust that a war room full of politicians and generals frantically tries to stop.Hopefully you'll wait for me to die before lauching the first bomb.
- DirectorRichard LinklaterStarsEthan HawkeJulie DelpyAndrea EckertA young man and woman meet on a train in Europe, and wind up spending one evening together in Vienna. Unfortunately, both know that this will probably be their only night together.Personal reason, don't want to talk about it.
- DirectorGuy RitchieStarsJason FlemyngDexter FletcherNick MoranEddy persuades his three pals to pool money for a vital poker game against a powerful local mobster, Hatchet Harry. Eddy loses, after which Harry gives him a week to pay back 500,000 pounds.With this one, Snatch and Rocknrolla we could argue that Guy Ritchie always makes the same movie. It may be true but it's still very good.
