Here are a few of my favorite all-time films. Films that I think about on a semi-regular basis:
Amelie
Stroszek
2001 (don’t think of it as a movie, but rather as an allegory for human evolution)
just about anything by Hitchcock, but especially Rope, Rear Window, The Trouble with Harry
Thank you! I’ll add them to my list :)
I was totally going to suggest Up, but I see you already have it on your list. :) I recently saw it in the theaters, and I really liked it. Very good! Also, if you haven’t seen Amelie, I would highly recommend that movie as well. It is a French movie too, so you could work on your French at the same time.
I’m trying to talk my husband into taking me to Up, but he wants to see Land of the Lost :)
Go to both. Problem solved. ;)
Sounds like a plan to me!
Did you see Wanted yet?
Also Death Note (2 movies) a must see. =)
I love Wanted, but I haven’t seen Death Note… I’ll have to look it up. It sounds scary and I tend to not like scary movies.
Not scarry at all. It’s a movie with a very good plot. It’s a movie about a book (The Death Note) when ones name is written in it he dies in 45 seconds, the owner of the book is really smart, also there’s an investigator who’s pretty smart too and he’s trying to solve the case.
Not scarry, just a good plot and some funny japanese acting. Not sure if there’s a dubbed version but I’d recommand watching the original Japanese one with subtitles. =)

OK good. I’ll add it to the list :) I just don’t watch scary movies very often lol.
OMG Up made me fight back tears for a good chunk of the movie! Curse Pixar and their incredible ability to tell a story!
Also One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest is a really good movie. You should also put Closer on your list. It’s one of those romantic tragedy movies that’s rather haunting. Very good actors in it, too.
Thanks for going without me… :(
Wall-E (if you haven’t seen it)
Clue
Shopgirl
Garden State
And the Band Played On (total sobfest)
I love Garden State and Shopgirl, but I haven’t seen the others. I added them to the list :) Thank you!!
“A Clockwork Orange (1971)#”
I really disliked that movie.. I wasted my time.
