in German. directed by Oliver Hirschbiegel.
FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS
based on the book by Hunter S Thompson. directed by Terry Gilliam.
in Korean. second installment of The Vengeance Trilogy. (the best of the three, in my opinion). directed by Park Chan-wook.
directed by James Cameron. won 11 oscars. (dont judge me, ive watched this over 30 times.)
in English/French. directed by Julie Delpy. a gritty real-life story about love. no sugar coated nonsense here.
original script by Quentin Tarantino. directed by Eli Roth. the concept of killing presented in this film got me thinking for weeks.
directed by Roman Polanski - one of the most powerful films, about the resilience of the human spirit, that ive ever seen.
a Tarantino masterpiece. Christoph Waltz's performance was stunning.
directed by Tim Burton. this is my happy film. i watch it whenever i need to renew my faith in the magical things in life.
LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL (LA VITA E BELLA)
in Italian. directed by Roberto Benigni (who also won an oscar for best actor in this film)
directed by Mark Herman. one of the most disturbing, yet beautiful, film endings ive ever seen.
documentary by Peter Joseph (watch it for free by clickin on the link above the poster)
based on novel by Chuck Palahniuk. directed by David Fincher. this film is quotes galore. class A.
based on a German novel of the same name by Bernhard Schlink. written by David Hare and directed by Stephen Daldry. very intrigueing story of love and discovery.
directed by Rob Reiner. i turn to watching this whenever life gets me down.
