 1232  8.3  8.5 Definitely the greatest animation ever made and also one of the most important films for me personally. It's kinda impossible not to love the film's world and characters, Miyazaki truly deserves all the reputation they've given to him.

1686 7.4 7.9 This one really has a good chance to beat old man Coppola's best works (the director Sofia Coppola is Francis Ford's daughter, in case you didn't know). City landscapes of Tokio are photographed brilliantly and acting is superb, Scarlett hasn't ever looked as beautiful and Bill Murray's performance is perhaps the best of his career, alongside with Groundhog Day of course.

332 7.6 7.3 Easily one of the most shocking films I've ever bumped into. Chaotic hand-held camera combined to incredible music, especially vicious rape and quite sick murder with an extinguisher all create something that I won't forget right away.
Banaanipalmu's rating:
2204 8.1 8.5 Much of the film is reckon on it's ingenious screenplay by Charlie Kaufman, but it's OK 'cause, believe me, it really is ingenious in all meanings of the word. The film also has Jim Carrey making a serious and arguably his greatest performance without forgetting absolutely superb score by Jon Brion.
Banaanipalmu's rating:
616 7.6 7.9 Von Trier's decision to leave off the props is simply brilliant and quite renowned cast does it's job as good as you'd expect. Hand-held camera works really well and the ending is pretty brutal yet also the best possible one.
Banaanipalmu's rating:
592 8.4 8.6 I was really happy to notice that Tarantino still can make a good film after more or less terrible Kill Bill Vol. 1 and 2. Gotta give credit to the man for the fact, that the Germans and the French actually speak German and French, not English with some horrible accent. Oh, and Brad Pitt's tongue-in-cheek-performance is fun to watch.
Banaanipalmu's rating:
298 7.9 8.1 In many ways a touching and beautiful film. I love the photography and Mathieu Amalric does great work on the lead.
Banaanipalmu's rating:
1299 8 8.5 Visually stunning, Aronofsky's second film as a director truly stucks to it's viewer's mind. The soundtrack is very hearable stuff and I didn't know that Jared Leto can actually act before seeing this.
Banaanipalmu's rating:
475 7.3 7.7 I saw this on big screen back in -07 (or was it -08, not sure), and after the film I was truly impressed with it's stunning visuality, which by the way resembles the films of Terrence Malick. Really fascinating one, could use a rewatch.
Banaanipalmu's rating:
438 7.9 8.3 The most impressive film of -08 and also Mickey Rourke's greatest performance. Photographed entirely with hand-held camera, the Wrestler manages to be really touching one, especially with the ending.
Banaanipalmu's rating:
381 7.7 8.4 Definitely the most realistic movie about Hitler, nazism and all that stuff. Bruno Ganz is incredible and the film keeps you in hold through it's length.
Banaanipalmu's rating:
647 7.6 7.8 A brillant combination of drama and comedy, and in many ways truly original flick. The film shows the last socialist years of East-Germany very believable way and the score (especially the theme song) by Yann Tiersen is just so goddamn touching.
Banaanipalmu's rating:
 
293 6.4 6.9 Visuality of Malick's films is simply stunning, you could actually stop the film at any time and you'd have a perfect photo to hang on the wall. It also describes the meeting of two cultures really good and the love story fits in well.
Banaanipalmu's rating:
1001 7.3 7.6 Anderson mixes comedy and drama almost as superbly as Wilder with the Apartment in 1960. Casting in magnificent, both Wilsons and Stiller aren't as annoying as usual and Genie on the lead is great. Soundtrack is buyable, contains i.a. Velvet Underground, the Stones, Beatles and Dylan.
Banaanipalmu's rating:
659 7.5 7.8 Snyder has captured the apocalyptic feeling of world near nuclear war truly superb. Soundtrack happily differs from mainstream (it's got Dylan, Simon & Garfunkel and Leonard Cohen for example) and the action is really cool with all the fancy slow-motions and stuff.
Haven't read the original achievement, but based on this I guess I should. Banaanipalmu's rating:
1434 8.1 8.4 Can't remember too much about it, but I have this really strong feeling the film being very watchable fantasy with good drama, fascinating creatures and a nasty villain.
Banaanipalmu's rating:
782 7.7 8 David Lynch's mindfuck with amazing main performances by Naomi Watts and Laura Harring. The love story (if you can call it that way) beats at least half of the man-woman-relationships I've seen on screen.
Perhaps I should watch this again, I might get a better touch with the stuff. Banaanipalmu's rating:
1113 8.1 8.5 Perhaps Polanski's most personal work is also his finest, alongside with Chinatown. The movie captures the brutality of Holocaust incredibly well and successes to do it more touchingly than Schindler's List for example.
Banaanipalmu's rating:
1434 8 8.6 Guess the best thing in this is the storytelling, which goes backwards and actually works in that way. You've got to keep your eyes on the screen all the time, or you're most likely going to get confused and lose the whole thing.
Banaanipalmu's rating:
937 7.9 8.3 Contains Coenesque black humor, brutal violence and one of the nastiest villains ever, played brilliantly by Javier Bardem. Southern USA's landscapes are beautiful to watch too, guess I could call this Coen brothers' best film after Big Lebowski and Fargo.
Banaanipalmu's rating:
1652 8.5 8.9 Well, the film IS overhyped, can't deny that, but still very fine one to watch. Ledger is really convincing as the Joker, beats Nicholson's performance by far and action is watchable, though editing sucks at some points.
Banaanipalmu's rating:
713 7.1 7.6 The best film of Cronenberg's later career. Violence is brutal as always in Crone's movies and I could claim that Viggo Mortensen is better than in Lord of the Rings.
Banaanipalmu's rating:
406 7 7.1 Bob Dylan is one of my biggest personal idols and this film depicts his life as well as it's possible. It was a weird decision to cast Cate Blanchett as Dylan in his mid-60's time, but believe me, it was worth it.
Banaanipalmu's rating:
998 8.2 8.8 A very realistic and brutal movie about the slums of Rio de Janeiro. The film's got this amazing authentic feeling, which lasts from start to finish and nonprofessional actors are very convincing too.
Banaanipalmu's rating:
716 6.9 7.2 A nice piece of Anderson's humor that truly makes you laugh. Bill Murray is, once again, brilliant and even Owen Wilson doesn't make you wanna rip your heart off. I think I'd give the movie a better rating after rewatch.
Banaanipalmu's rating:
 
300 8.1 8.1 Wong Kar-wai's hypnotic love story with absolutely amazing acting and atmosphere. Christopher Doyle's camerawork is kinda undoylesque (no hand-held camera as in Chungking Express, Happy Together and others) but actually it is, if possible, even more incredible this way.
Banaanipalmu's rating:
108 8.1 7.7 This isn't my favorite Kaurismäki-film (that would be 1988's Ariel, I think), but still a very watchable flick about poorness, homelessness and stuff. As in every movie by Kaurismäki, the dialogue is once again literary language and on the background you can hear many Finnish classic songs.
Banaanipalmu's rating:
486 7.7 8 Needs rewatch, remember it being bloody and truly entertaining one.
Banaanipalmu's rating:
9 5.3 7.3 Now this is actually a documentary, but I think I can count it in. I've always loved the music of the 60's and 70's, so watching this is very interesting to me and I guess that's the reason for such high points.
Banaanipalmu's rating:
987 7.6 8 I think I'd rank this as the best superhero film I've seen after overrated but still excellent Dark Knight. Doesn't contain anything we haven't seen before but it manages to be fully entertaining from start to finish.
Banaanipalmu's rating:
537 7.4 7.4 Woody Allen made his greatest works on 70's and 80's, but this one shows that the man can still make nice movies after working 40 years on film industry. Watching the sunny Spain makes you want to take a flight and go there as soon as possible and if you want to watch two hours of two of the world's cutest girls, you've got the right flick. Only bigger barrier is the annoying narrator, but it's still alright.
In the end, a movie where you can see Penélope Cruz and Scarlett Johansson kissing each other (!!!) can't be THAT bad, right? Banaanipalmu's rating:
17 6.9 7.5 An interesting documentary about perhaps the most fascinating period in Hollywood. The facts, the interviews and all the footage kept my interest on the top and the soundtrack has a couple of really good songs, some Jefferson Airplane for example.
Banaanipalmu's rating:
183 7.6 7.3 Haneke's perverse love story is kinda disturbing but also an compelling one. Again, I've just gotta praise the performances and the film really keeps you in hold from start to finish.
Banaanipalmu's rating:
1763 8.2 8.6 I've gotta say that in all the happiness and stuff, at some points the film goes on the annoying side, but still remains as a very likeable one. Tautou on the lead is fine as hell and candy-world-visuality of Jeunet's world is nice to watch, though I personally like Delicatessen's apocalyptic feeling much more.
