Martin Scorsese’s The Departed

The movie that changed my life and made me realize that movies, for me, were more than just entertainment. I remember going to the Phoenix, with a vague understanding that Martin Scorsese must be somebody important. I left blown away. I didn’t know what to think. Everything changed for me. The dialogue, the acting, the directing, the editing, for the first time, I noticed it all. This is why the Departed holds that place for me. It changed my life. I could add more Scorsese movies to this list; Goodfellas, the Aviator, Raging Bull and fucking Taxi Driver, but the Departed was the one for me.

Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds

When I started making this list, I knew I wanted one movie from each of my favorite directors. When I was deciding which Tarantino movie I wanted, I knew it had to be Inglourious Basterds. It’s my favorite. The movie is a testament to Tarantino’s dedication to cinema, evidenced by his tributes to specific genres and actors placed throughout the movie, to the final climactic scene, that takes place in a fucking movie theater. Quentin Tarantino loves movies. Inglourious Basterds showcases that. As a fellow adorer of film, there was so much I could appreciate. First off, it was just a fucking awesome movie. The Basterds were so badass, I would have enjoyed the movie if it just chronicled their experiences throughout Europe. But it didn’t just do that. It also focused on two other absolutely amazing characters, Col. Hans Landa and Shosanna Dreyfus. The way all the characters were related, Hans, Shosanna, and Lt. Aldo Raine and the Basterds, and the way the story came full circle, was incredible. Tarantino is a fantastic director, and I admire him for it, but sometimes I forget he’s a fucking amazing writer. So yes, I love Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, the Kill Bills and Jackie Brown, but Inglourious Basterds has the most demension and meaning for me. It’s just so great.

David Fincher’s Se7en

From the brilliant cinematography to the underrated dialogue to the steadfast acting, this movie marked a change in how I view movies, similarly to the Departed. Stylistically, this is the movie that made me notice setting and aura, and how important the background is to the scene. This is the one that did it for me. How it’s raining every scene except for the last one, and a viewer can go the whole movie without noticing. It’s beautiful. It’s also terrifying, but in a subtle way.

Any Wes Anderson Movie

If you want to talk about style, Jesus. Rushmore and the Royal Tennenbaums are tops, but I also love Bottle Rocket, and some scenes in Fantastic Mr. Fox were visually beautiful. Life Aquatic and Darjeeling Limited were also visually very incredible.

Mike Nichol’s the Graduate

The first time I watched the Graduate, I loved it. The music, the acting, the story, it was all so wonderful to me. It was pure enjoyment as a viewer. I loved every second of it. The second time I watched it, which happened to be about a week ago, I loved it even more. I noticed things done with camera shots that I didn’t before. I noticed imagery and motifs I paid no attention to on my first viewing, and I only enjoyed the movie more. The way that shots are done, where adults will block the viewer’s view of Benjamin, are wonderful. The shots of Benjamin going from right to left, against a crowd going left to right, are fantastic. And it holds one of my favorite movie endings of all time.

The Original Star Wars Trilogy

There is no greater coming of age tale. There is no greater iconic badass than Han Solo, except for maybe Aragorn of Lord of the Rings. Pretty much any Sci-Fi story that has come after is not comparable. That’s because it’s not just a Sci-Fi story. It runs deeper. Whether you look at the Biblical imagery, or the political allusions, it’s just an incredible story. The quintessential hero’s journey. The quintessential feel-good epic. George Lucas, for all his brilliance here, has never come close to matching it again.

Pete Docter & Bob Peterson’s Up

I love a good all-ages movie. My first memory of a movie theater is Toy Story, and I remember being completely amazed, and loving every moment of it. Pixar is above and beyond most other production companies, and Up is their finest output. The movie could have ended twenty minutes in, and I would have still put it on this list. That montage, with no dialogue, is seriously up there with the finest cinema I’ve ever seen. The love story of Carl & Ellie is so sweet, and so sad, but so wonderful and heartbreaking, when watching the movie I forget that Up is aimed at kids. Forget the brilliance that is Kevin, and how much I love Dug, and the fact that for once, the kid in a kid’s movie isn’t smarter than the adults, and the absurdity that the climactic battle scene was between two old men. This is an amazing movie, and a modern classic.

I have other favorites, but none I want to go into detail on. These are the movies that I love, that made me feel compelled to give them a detailed description as to why I loved them. I’m aware that most of them were made in the 2000s. This is my decade, though. This is the decade that’s going to leave an impression, and those are the movies that I’m going to remember. I’m also aware that Brad Pitt was in two of these movies. If I chose to include Fight Club or 12 Monkeys, he’d be in three or four. He’s a great actor. He’s been in some great movies. Anyway, those are my favorites. Here are some honorable mentions:

Thank You for Smoking, Chasing Amy, Being John Malkovich, American Beauty, Toy Story, The Breakfast Club, the Dark Knight, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, American History X, the Godfather

I look forward to hearing from you.

Movies are not mere entertainment. They are immensely informative and enlightening. Creativity indeed goes a long way in bringing about the willing suspension of disbelief. Here we are talking about our lessons from Hollywood in general but what are time zones in the world of fantastic cinema. Nothing I say. We have learned that

1. Cough is a sign of the deadly disease.
2. Detective can solve the case only if he has been suspended from duty.
3. A man will not show signs of pain while taking the most ferocious beating, but trembles when a woman tries to clean his wounds.

4. One match is enough to light up a room of any size.
5. Any lock can be opened for a second with a credit card or a paper clip – unless you are not at the door leading into the building in flames with a child trapped inside.
6. It is not necessary to say “good morning” or “good bye” when you are starting or finishing a telephone conversation.
7. Eiffel Tower can be seen from any window in Paris.
8. The man who shoots at the twenty men is more likely to kill them all,then to be killed by them. Of course if he is The One.
9. Kitchens do not have a light switch. When you enter into it at night, just open the door to the refrigerator and use their light as a replacement.
10. It does not matter if you over counted several times in the fight involving martial arts – your enemies will wait patiently to attack you one by one, playing around in a threatening position, until you tear down their predecessors.
11. Every morning, woman is preparing eggs, bacon and cakes for the husband and children, although they never have time to eat them.
12. Once applied, lipstick will never rub off even while scuba diving.
13. Cops are always getting partners who are their direct opposite.
14. Even when driving down the street completely level it is necessary to jolt the steering wheel vigorously from left to right every few moments.
15. Honest and hardworking police officers usually are wounded or killed few days before retirement.
16. If you want to present yourself as a German officer, it is not necessary to know German – German accent is enough.
17. The more a man and woman hate each other, the more likely they will fall in love.
18. Large, loft-style apartments in New York City are well within the price range of most people whether they are employed or not.
19. At least one of a pair of identical twins is born evil.
20. Should you decide to defuse a bomb, don’t worry which wire to cut. You will always choose the right one.
21. Most laptop computers are powerful enough to override communications system of any invading alien society.
22. When you turn out the light to go to bed, everything in your bedroom will still be clearly visible, just slightly bluish.
23. If you are blonde and pretty, it is possible to become a world expert on nuclear fission at the age of 22.
24. During all police investigations, it will be necessary to visit a strip club at least once.
25. It’s easy for anyone to land a plane providing there is someone in the control tower to talk you down.
26. You’re very likely to survive any battle in any war unless you make the mistake of showing someone a picture of your sweetheart back home.

Perfectly nerdy.

27 eh?? What’s that in human years??
If Hollywoodbeing famous can make Sarah Jessica Parker look at least passable, this girl is a lost cause.
The photo should be part of an anti-drug campaign.

Is this supposedly the first use of emoticons? I feel like I read that somewhere.

In 2008 a small commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn’t commit. These men eventually escaped from a minimum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by Hollywood as extras, they survive as soldiers of fortune.

If you have a small inconvenience, if no one else is available, and if it doesn’t involve getting things from high shelves, maybe you can hire the B-Team.

Many studios, one source of prop people.

Well.. actually what they’re describing on the page is extraction, not inception. They’re going in to find information, not plant an idea.

A woman who once made it her destination in life to get married and rear a family finds her priorities abruptly shifting in director Ryan Murphy’s version of author Elizabeth Gilbert’s best-selling memoir. In the eyes of many, Gilbert was a woman who had it all — a affectioned husband, a great apartment, and a weekend home — but sometimes one understands too little too late that they haven’t gotten what they truly desired from life. On the heels of a painful divorce, the woman who had previously looked forward to a pleased life of domesticated seventh heaven sets out to explore the world and seek out her true destiny.

Brad Pitt and Dede Gardner produce a movie starring Julia Roberts. Cast: Julia Roberts, James Franco, Javier Bardem, Richard Jenkins, Billy Crudup

The script is pretty defective. Liz complains that one character always seems to talk in bumper stickers, but she should look at her own speech patterns.

I could see how this movie would appeal to some people as an escapist fantasy — every once in a while, most people think about pushing the eject button on their life and doing something completely different. Still, the impulsive-decision, life-changing travel of self-discovery is a common movie type, and others have done it far better.
