Must see...

First the movies i enjoyed the most from the class.

Volver - i liked the tone of the movie and the story circling around family issues and conflicts. it was a nice clean shot movie, which i tend to lean towards, and has it's dark humor mixed in really well.

Brazil - This movie reminded me a lot of The Fifth Element, i guess because that movie probably borrowed it's style from it. It's a crazy story that after seeing it i see references to it in alot of movies since it came out.

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest - Jack Nicholson is a great actor and deserved winning the Oscar for his role in it. it a movie that holds up well with time.


3 movie you should see

Requiem for a Dream - this movie is just epic. The song named after the title is used so much in scenes that need to be epic. the story is a sad one following three mid 20's drug users as they rise and fall. I'm a sucker for good music at just the right time and this is a great example of what i mean.

Catch Me If You Can - this is a movie that i never get bored of. It's a well paced movie with a great story and actors who portray their characters perfectly.

Reservoir Dogs - Quentin Tarantino is the master of making and hour and a half of dialog in one room more interesting then any other movie out there. Tarantino really knows how to write and this movie shows it off more than any of his other movies. It's a bank heist gone wrong and you never see what exactly happened, just the aftermath and some back story on the survivors. Besides that the whole of the movie takes place in a small warehouse where they try to figure out who set them up.

I'm just adding this extra, Animated Films (Anime films) you should see.

The Girl Who Leapt Through Time - The title kinda describes the basic premise of the movie, it's a girl who can time travel, mostly small amounts like weeks, days, hours. The movie is nicely animated and paced well, it has been dubbed and the dub is great, just as good if not better than the original.

Tokyo Godfathers - this one is subtitled, no dub that i know of. The story is about three homeless people who find a baby while savaging through some trash on Christmas. It's a nice and touching story that has it's light and dark moments that blend nicely.
