Well, you know, this one's actually funny. I mean, sure I'll probably never watch it again, but it was fun, engaging and had a great soundtrack. Damn it feels good to be a gangsta. Whitebread nerds, hardcore rap and getting back at your Porsche-driving employer. What more could a guy want?
One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
Tackling great movies is hard, because, well, they're great movies. There's nothing new you can say about them, and you've probably heard the old "ooh-ooh-what a great movie of mystifyingly puissant proportions" shtick before at least half-a-dozen times, the greatness is just methodically hammered into you. This one though, this one deserves its reputation, it's so bloody funny and sad and tear-jerking without resorting to cheap audience-pleasing tricks and shallow narrative spins. Jack and the Chief are both great.
Citizen Kane
I cried.
I sat there for two hours, without moving an inch, staring at the screen, and at the end, I cried for a character, for a man that lost it all because of too much or too little love. I don't know. Who does?
By focusing on the technical innovations one tends to forget that at its core lies a great story. And that, my friends, is a shame.
These three are in my movie top 10.
