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.Kubrick and Sellers at their very best.

- DirectorRichard KellyStarsJake GyllenhaalJena MaloneMary McDonnellAfter narrowly escaping a bizarre accident, a troubled teenager is plagued by visions of a man in a large rabbit suit who manipulates him to commit a series of crimes.Richard Kelly. The special brand of melancholy that is prevalent through this film is what makes it so special to me. 9

- DirectorRobert WieneStarsWerner KraussConrad VeidtFriedrich FeherHypnotist Dr. Caligari uses a somnambulist, Cesare, to commit murders.Robert Wiene. Brilliant!!!! Fathered german expressionism in the movies. 10

- 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.Coen brothers. Might not be the best movie ever made (though it's very good indeed) but this could be my all time favorite:) John Goodman has never been better.

- DirectorWoody AllenStarsWoody AllenDiane KeatonTony RobertsAlvy Singer, a divorced Jewish comedian, reflects on his relationship with ex-lover Annie Hall, an aspiring nightclub singer, which ended abruptly just like his previous marriages.The very best Woody Allen movie imo. Filled to the rim with very funny and intellectual comments. If you only see one Woody Allen movie, then there can be no doubt that this should be it. 10

- DirectorJean-Luc GodardStarsJean-Paul BelmondoJean SebergVan DoudeA small-time crook, hunted by the authorities for a car theft and the murder a police officer, attempts to persuade a hip American journalism student to run away with him to Italy.Godard. On my top 3. I love this film so much I'd consider marrying it.
General opinion is also that the 3 movies that made the biggest contributions to cinema conventions are Birth of a Nation (1915) Citizen Kane (1941) and A bout de souffle. 10 - DirectorBilly WilderStarsWilliam HoldenGloria SwansonErich von StroheimA screenwriter develops a dangerous relationship with a faded film star determined to make a triumphant return.Billy Wilder. William Holden is good. Gloria Swanson is brilliant. "I AM big. It's the PICTURES that got small!" 10
- DirectorF.W. MurnauStarsGeorge O'BrienJanet GaynorMargaret LivingstonA sophisticated city woman seduces a farmer and convinces him to murder his wife and join her in the city, but he ends up rekindling his romance with his wife when he changes his mind at the last moment.F.W. Murnau. The most beautiful love story I have seen. And it is from 1927!!! A definite must-see. Murnau died shortly after waaaaay to young. We will never know what we missed, but I have a strong feeling that he would have went on to make nothing short of the finest movies in history. Sunrise is certainly one of them imo. 10
- DirectorStanley KubrickAnthony MannStarsKirk DouglasLaurence OlivierJean SimmonsThe slave Spartacus survives brutal training as a gladiator and leads a violent revolt against the decadent Roman Republic, as the ambitious Crassus seeks to gain power by crushing the uprising.Stanley Kubrick. 9
- DirectorYasujirô OzuStarsChishû RyûChieko HigashiyamaSô YamamuraAn old couple visit their children and grandchildren in the city, but receive little attention.Yasujiro Ozu. Tokyo Story is regarded as one of the great classics.. I've started watching this at least a couple of times without getting very far. Be in a patient mood, and be awake! ;P
- DirectorAndrei TarkovskyStarsMargarita TerekhovaFilipp YankovskiyIgnat DaniltsevA dying man in his forties remembers his past. His childhood, his mother, the war, personal moments and things that tell of the recent history of all the Russian nation.Andrei Tarkovsky. The Mirror. This movie has warped my fragile little mind! A masterpiece for sure, but there is sooo much I didn't understand :P I promised myself that I wouldn't see it again without reading something about it first. I have a book about it now, but still haven't gotten around to reading it. 8
- DirectorBille AugustStarsAdam TønsbergPeter ReichhardtMorten HoffIn the early '60s, 3 Danish classmates join a "den"/tree house. Steen likes his pet fish Zappa because it eats the weaker fish.

Follow the yellow brick road. Complete acidtrip. Made Judy Garland the number one saint for the gay community. She drank herself to death. Not that those things are related in any way. I'll stop writing now. 8
- DirectorVittorio De SicaStarsCarlo BattistiMaria Pia CasilioLina GennariAn elderly man and his dog struggle to survive on his government pension in Rome.Vittorio De Sica. 8

Kung Fu Hustle. Daaamn it's funny. I love the jazz musical scenes, and some great fighting too! :) From a film critics pov it's probably more of a 7,5 but I have to give it a nine for great entertainment! :)
- DirectorJohn CassavetesStarsJohn MarleyGena RowlandsLynn CarlinA middle-aged man leaves his wife for another woman. Shortly after, his ex-wife also begins a relationship with a younger partner.

- DirectorJohn CassavetesStarsGena RowlandsPeter FalkFred DraperAlthough wife and mother Mabel is loved by her husband Nick, her mental illness places a strain on the marriage.John Cassavetes. Gena Rowlands and Peter Falk are excellent in this one imo. 9

Haven't finished it yet. Saw most of it though, and have to admit that I couldn't help but feel that it would have been a greater experience to see it when it originally got out..
- DirectorRoman PolanskiStarsAdrien BrodyThomas KretschmannFrank FinlayDuring WWII, acclaimed Polish musician Wladyslaw faces various struggles as he loses contact with his family. As the situation worsens, he hides in the ruins of Warsaw in order to survive.Roman Polanski. Was hard to abstract from the knowledge of Adrien Brody being who he is irl... However it is decent movie, even if it doesn't bring out anything new. 7
- DirectorGeorge WaggnerStarsClaude RainsWarren WilliamLon Chaney Jr.Larry Talbot returns to his father's castle in Wales and meets a beautiful woman. One fateful night, Talbot escorts her to a local carnival where they meet a mysterious gypsy fortune teller.George Waggner. 7

- DirectorArthur LubinStarsNelson EddySusanna FosterClaude RainsAn acid-scarred composer rises from the Paris sewers to boost his favorite opera understudy's career.Arthur Lubin. The silent version from 1925 with Lon Chaney as The Phantom is waaay better. 4
- DirectorLaurence OlivierStarsLaurence OlivierJean SimmonsJohn LauriePrince Hamlet struggles over whether or not he should kill his uncle, whom he suspects has murdered his father, the former king.Laurence Olivier. Lead is Laurence Olivier as well. I haven't seen this one yet.
- DirectorJohn CassavetesStarsGena RowlandsJohn CassavetesBen GazzaraA renowned actress teeters on the edge of a breakdown as she counts down the days toward a big Broadway opening.John Cassavetes. Haven't seen this one yet
- DirectorSteven ShainbergStarsJames SpaderMaggie GyllenhaalJeremy DaviesA young woman, recently released from a mental hospital, gets a job as a secretary to a demanding lawyer, where their employer-employee relationship turns into a sexual, sadomasochistic one.Steven Shainberg. 7
- DirectorJacques TatiStarsJacques TatiBarbara DennekRita MaidenMonsieur Hulot curiously wanders around a high-tech Paris, paralleling a trip with a group of American tourists. Meanwhile, a nightclub/restaurant prepares its opening night, but it's still under construction.Jacques Tati. Starts as a description of a more or less dystopic sexless Paris where people are more or less reduced to machines and concrete skyscrabers are tourist attractions. The last hour of the film in the restaurant livens up though. It becomes more of a classic Hulot story.
Everything is falling apart but even though there's nothing but cold chicken, the ceiling is falling down as the floor comes off and the door breaks down people are still having fun and with the aid of alcohol and music they dance the night away.
The cinematography is elegant in it's own way and what stands out is definitely the soundscape with the experimenting with diegetic and non diegetic sounds throughout. 7 - DirectorIngmar BergmanStarsIngrid ThulinGunnar BjörnstrandGunnel LindblomA small-town priest struggles with his faith.Ingmar Bergman. Winter Light. I haven't seen this one yet.
- DirectorLouis MalleStarsJeanne MoreauMaurice RonetGeorges PoujoulyA self-assured businessman murders his employer, the husband of his mistress, which unintentionally provokes an ill-fated chain of events.Louis Malle.

- DirectorMichael CacoyannisStarsIrene PapasGiannis FertisAleka KatselliLiving in exile after the death of their father, the grown children of a murdered and usurped king converge to exact eye-for-an-eye revenge.Mihalis Kakogiannis. Electra. Haven't finished this one yet. Slow paced, but definitely worth watching - at least the first half ! :P
- DirectorDavid SladeStarsPatrick WilsonElliot PageSandra OhHayley's a smart, charming teenage girl. Jeff's a handsome, smooth fashion photographer. An Internet chat, a coffee shop meet-up, an impromptu fashion shoot back at Jeff's place. Jeff thinks it's his lucky night. He's in for a surprise.David Slade. 5. Impossible dialog. Self righteous, very written, and highly intellectual. The words belongs in an essay written by an outraged 45 year old woman. Not a 14 year old girl. The camera work doesn't make the viewing experience more involving, quiet the opposite actually. It creates a distance between the viewer and what's being showed. 5 for the decent acting. Would have been 3 if it hadn't been for that.
- DirectorJohn HughesStarsMatthew BroderickAlan RuckMia SaraA popular high school student, admired by his peers, decides to take a day off from school and goes to extreme lengths to pull it off, to the chagrin of his Dean, who'll do anything to stop him.John Hughes. All I ever did on my "sick" days was to play computer... 7
- DirectorJulie BertuccelliStarsEsther GorintinNino KhomasuridzeDinara DrukarovaThe one joy in the lives of a mother and daughter comes from the regular letters sent to them from Paris from the family's adored son, Otar.

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.Alejandro González Iñárritu. Love's a Bitch. The first, and my favorite, of the trilogy. (second installment is 21 grams, and third is the somewhat overrated Babel). 8
- DirectorHideo NakataStarsNanako MatsushimaMiki NakataniYûko TakeuchiA reporter and her ex-husband investigate a cursed video tape that is rumored to kill the viewer seven days after watching it.Hideo Nakata. The original "The Ring".
People in tv should most definitely stay in there!! ..Scary stuff! :P 8 - DirectorJean-Pierre DardenneLuc DardenneStarsJérémie RenierOlivier GourmetAssita OuedraogoRoger uses his son Igor to ruthlessly traffic and exploit undocumented immigrants.
