Note : It is probably the movie I have most seen in my life (20 times ? 30 times ?). I saw it when it came out. I was 15 years old and I was struck by how it was simple and complex at the same time. A great movie.
Note : It is a really weird movie and I find it great. I have seen quite a few movies with Rupert Everett and it is his only great one. Nice story and direction. A real cult classic.
Note : This movie is the stuff of legend. When it came out, almost nobody saw it. Gradually, it gained a cult status and is now considered by many as the best movie ever made. The best movie ever made? Not to me. One of the best ? Definitely ! In its genre, it is absolutely the number 1 (Forget "Prison Break"...). A great achievement.
Note : The first movie directed by Danny Boyle. One of the first starring Ewan McGregor. It mixes very different genres with success. I think it is very original and a great masterpiece.
Note : Though not my favorite Tarantino movie (I think Reservoir Dogs is better), it is still a great movie. The story is very entertaining and the writin, directing and perfomances are just top-notch.
Note : Amazing movie describing the harsh realities in America involving the life in the ghetto and what is at stake for the boys who get a shot at becoming a professional sportman.
Note : The first movie directed by James Gray (We own the night) and actually is best one.
A great crime movie about Russian maffia in America (I make it sound like "Eastern Promises" but the plot is completely different).
It is about a hitman coming back to his childhood neighbourhood to complete a job. Very intense movie with great parts given by Edward Furlong and Tim Roth.
"Dellamorte Dellamore" (Cemetery man) cannot really be compared to Shawshank or Pulp Fiction (both great pictures). I like "Dellamorte Dellamore" more because I think it is more original but it is a rather personal choice. Most people haven't seen it and the ones who has wouldn't probably say that it is better than Pulp Fiction or The Shawshank Redemption.
and good pick on Little Odessa
You're missing Leon and Natural Born Killers. Go see em' if you haven't. ;)
