My favorite movies
A little while back, I asked the Stibb-man what his top three favorite movies were. My main intention of this question was really to help me decide what to buy next.
However, I never expected him to send the question in return... But as he did, I'll try to answer as best I can...
Now, I just bought 7 new DVDs, that I havn't seen yet - in addition to six others I have bought, but not yet seen - so this list may change (Finally getting to see Rosemary’s Baby, for instance) - but for now, this is the list:
No. 3: American Beauty
Oh, this is the tough one... There are so many films that could take the third place title... The Panic in Needle Park, Kingdom (Lars von Trier), LOTR, Der Untergang... However - American Beauty is one of the best movies made. Not only that - it's one of those movies I initially didn’t even want to like.
No. 2: Magnolia
Now, this is a movie you probably won't love fully until you've seen it a couple of times - and the first time you see it, you'll probably try to ask yourself “what is this movie really about”...
Well, Magnolia is about life. It's an intricate web of stories, all tied together; building up to a bizarre, yet completely natural climax...
No. 1: The Pianist
Roman Polanski is probably one of the greatest directors of our time - and with this film he gets to let all his moviemaking magic play out. It's the true tale of one jew during the world war 2 - told in the ever most sincere, honest and beautiful way possible. A definite must-see...
Hey, notice how all my favorites have a dark or black cover? I'll have to remember that for my next cover-design...
Hei, hei, det er fine filmer det ja. Men hvor er Lynch oppi dette? Hvis du liker det litt skrudde men estestiske ville jeg trodd han var en selvfølge. Han er i hvert fall min favorittregissør. Og Ang Lee. Selv om “Hulken” av Ang Lee ikke akkurat var en perle. Håper du har det fint, hei og hopp fra mig.
Og hva med Lord of the rings? Og Fear and loathing in Las Vegas? Og Titanic? og Dirty dancing? og mens vi er inne på dansefilmer: Footlose fra 1984 (den må være den verste ever)..
Rållserau: Lynch er en god regissør, du har helt rett i det - Ang Lee er jeg litt mer usikker på. Har det strålende hopping og heiing tilbake…
Paaskeharen: Lord of the rings var, som nevnt, en (eller tre) av kandidatene til tredjeplassen. LOTR-triologien er en genial produksjon, men genialiteten er størst på underholdningssiden - det er ikke fullt like mye å hente på “tenkesiden”…
