3/3


FFH is not that very well known and it's one of my favorite movies. Todd Haynes great direction, beautiful cinematography, reference to Douglas Sirk movies and one of my favorite Julianne Moore performances ♥

love this idea ;)

so i thought a lot which movie to pick and finally decided on this one. i saw it recently and it immediately became one of my ultimate favorites.it deals with love,loss and heart-break in a very unique way.it has a sci-fi aspect and idea it's really intersting imo.a sort of treatment that allows you to erase your memories of someone and the releationship you had with them,but it actualy really makes you appreciate and fight for waht you had to begin with.
it has the always amazing kate winslet and one of jim carrey's best roles.:)


p.s. i have seen and LOVE leon and will make sure to watch far from heaven soon.;)
over a year ago nandacavalieri said…
I watched Leon. Loved it! ♥ the end ;_____; and I really liked Natalie Portman performance,I didn't think that would be possible after last year madness. The shots are so beautiful! Gary Oldman creeping me out


I wished more jisters would join us here...

Howard Hawks movie with Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn, it couldn't go wrong. It's a classic romcom and absolutely amazing and delightful imo. And have I mentioned Cary Grant? *sigh*

^ first of all it's NOT horror movie. Not at all. It's thiller. second of all, I think everybody is spoiled with ending. it's one of most shocking endings, therefor also one of the most talked about :/


I watched it for the first time when I was still internet free so I was suuuper shocked witht ending. And it's one of my favourite movies now. A M A Z I N G. Bruce Willis, (young) Haley Joel Osment ♥ Best ending ever.

So, finally joined. :P
Life Is Beautiful, Italian comedy about... Holocaust. Jewish family is taken to concentration camp, and father is trying to keep spirit in his son, saying that all is a game and if they will play with the rules and get 1.000 points, they will win a task. Despite everything, you're laughing, you can't help but smile. And at the end you cry river. Such an amazing movie, it gave me all the feelings. :') </3

and I've seen both Leon and Sixth Sense, totally amazing! One of my favourites, actually.
Wanna see Eternal sunshine... so badly. The rest too. :)

omg, Ola. I just looked at my Life is Beautiful dvd today and thought I needed a rewatch. Last and only time I watched it was in 2005! I bought the DVD after but it hurts too much so I was never able to go through that again. I'll try to watch it asap

Wow, some great choices that I've always wanted to see are on here! I haven't seen any though, so it looks like I have some great movies to be introduced to.
The presteige is one of my favourite movies, its got Hugh Jackman, Scarlett Johanson, Micheal Caine and Christian Bale in it. Its about two magicians in the eighteenth century who are trying to outdo each other. What I love about it is that it keeps you guessing.Hope you like it if you decide to watch it!

I watched The Sixth Sense. Loved it! And it wasn't scary at all (wondering if all those movies I thought were scary aren't and I avoided them for nothing). The last few scenes *jears* I was so angry I knew the ending already, it would have been interesting to see if I could figure it out.

If I had a top 10, Sunset Blvd. would definitely be on it. A noir classic, a must-see. Gloria Swanson is incredible and William Holden, oh William Holden *sigh* my favorite Billy Wilder movie ♥

So I have at least 3 movies in mind to reccomend you atm, but this time I'm picking the one I have seen the most recently. Amazing movie that makes you cry cry :'( I actually have one problem with it. Small little thing that bothered me. But beside that it's perfect. And Edward Norton *__* I'm sorry, but I have so many feelings for him. And it's deffo the movie he looks best in xD

yes! Really well directed

I'm so predictable. Choose just one movie is hard!

Oh American History X has been on my list forever!

I watched The Prestige. I felt pretty meh about it, I wasn't engaged in the story and I didn't care at all about the characters (actually they annoyed me) and the performances were pretty weak. Also I realize I have a problem with Nolan and Bale

Guillermo del Toro is definitely interesting director. And this movie... One of my ultimate favourites. It's hard to actually describe it. It's like a classic fairytale... set in a horror. But it's not horror. It's fantasy in a violent reality. Also, it's so pretty, shots are seriously gorgeous. You just need to watch it by yourself.

YES! I love him! I haven't seen that many movies with him though. Did you know he and Audrey were engaged for a while? this: "I was determined to wipe Audrey out of my mind by screwing a woman in every country I visited. My plan succeeded, though sometimes with difficulty. When I was in Bangkok, I was with a Thai girl in a boat in one of the klongs. I guess we got too animated, because the boat tipped over and I fell into the filthy water. Back at the hotel I poured alcohol in my ears because I was afraid I’d become infected with the plague. When I got back to Hollywood, I went to Audrey’s dressing-room and told her what I had done. You know what she sad? “Oh, Bill!” That’s all. “Oh, Bill!”. Just as though I were some naughty boy. … She was the love of my life." <3333333

because he didn't want kids (he had a vasectomy, i think) and audrey wanted, i don't know if that was the only reason but it was the reason. they remained friends though ♥ (and she married the douchebag, ugh)

Pan' Labirynth - beaitiful and creepy. depresing and giving hope. the ending is pure ripping my heart out of my chest and at the same time so wonderful. *masochist in here*

Sunset Blvd. - LAST SCENE! LAST FREAKING SCENE. "people sitting in dark" ♥ Not a huge fan of william holden's face like you guys seem to be, but he was great. but NO ONE can beat the main acctress. WONDERFUL ♥

Amelia - AGAJAHAK! So beautiful! THE KISS SCENE *__* And I simply adore weird, magical, fantastic movies like this one ♥ even french didn't borther me (that much)
