My Top 10 Films

Wow! Since I've read "High Fidelity" by Nick Hornby, I too love making 'top something' lists, so this assignment is top notch.:) So, here goes, just like Karm, from 10 to 1, one being my all-time favorite. :)Just to say it now, these are subjective opinions, and of course people can think each and every of the following are pure crap. So what, I like them, if you don't, well... tough. ;)

10)Don Juan de Marco with Johnny Depp, by Jeremy Leven. I simply adore Johnny Depp in this feature, but what amazes me the most is the duett that Marlon Brando and Faye Dunaway make - I've never seen such a beautiful old people love.;)

9)Four Weddings and a Funeral with Andie McDowell and Hugh Grant, by Mike Newell. Ok, ok, I know, crap, barf, vomit, blah blah blah. I love it. It makes me cry and laugh and I simply can't get enough. I don't care what you think. Hate me all you want, I also love Pretty Woman!! :P

8) Love! Valour! Compassion! with John Glover, by Joe Mantello. Eight men. One summer. Figure it out. (I like the gay movie genre, and it would be here that Brokeback Mountain and Philadelphia probably also belong).

7) Dogma with Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, by Kevin Smith. Ok, dig this: two renegade angels, kicked out of heaven because they pitied people too much (alright, and drank excessively), now on the run, chased by the descendant of Jesus Christ - Bethany, the 13th Apostle, Rufus, left out of the Bible because he was black, the Voice of God - seraphin Metatron, Azrael the Devil and his three evil Skaterboy sidekicks, the muse Serendipity and, of course, Jay and Silent Bob. Great fun, and just see WHO is God!! :)

6) Dead Poets' Society with Robin Williams, by Peter Weir. Terrific teachers' mannual, love every second of it, and admire Robin Williams' performance. Also, great young cast of later-to-be film stars, with Ethan Hawke bearly out of highschool. Touching and inspiring. BTW, I find most films with Mr Williams great. Yes, even Jingo, Mrs Doubtfire and whatnot. I simply love his incredible talent and ability to change like a chameleon.

5)Equilibrium with Christian Bale and Sean Bean, by Kurt Wimmer. Cult movie extraordinaire. I've NEVER cried like this before, never have I been SO emotional on a movie that talks about a world without emotions. Love it and hate it.

4)Love Actually, with a great cast of British actors, by Richard Curtis. I always watch this film when I need comfort and I'm feeling down, because it's got everything it takes to cheer me up, plus Hugh Grant and Colin Firth, yummm...:)

3) Dangerous Liaisons with John Malkovich, by Stephen Frears. I just love the relationship between Marquise Isabelle de Merteuil (Glenn Close) and Vicecomt Sébastien de Valmont (Malkovich). Also, note how beautiful Michelle Pfeiffer and Uma Thurman are there. Love it.

2) Interview with a Vampire with Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise, by Neil Jordan. There should be a 'slash' here, because from the vampire genre I also love F.F. Coppola's Dracula. I think they are both terrific adaptations of books, although I like the former better, simply because the book it was based on is way better. What can I say - Brad and Tom suck, literally. :)

1) American Beauty with Kevin Spacey, by Sam Mendes. This movie is perfect, I've seen it a million times and every time I watch it, I fall in love with it all over again. And the soundtrack - a beauty indeed.
