♣ - not the first time I see it.
01.
14-11-2009
Star Trek
I guess I loved it so much because I'm a fan of the whole series. I missed the retro charm of TOS, though.
02.
15-11-2009
Casablanca
Beautifully written. Now I can see what all the fuss is about.
03.
15-11-2009
Gone With the Wind ♣
No matter how many times I watch it, I am still amazed by how much emotion it conveys.
04.
20-11-2009
Barry Lyndon
Loving Kubrick, as always. It was far too long, though.
05.
21-11-2009
Trainspotting ♣
It had some good parts, but overall it seems exaggerated. The Kubrick references were cute.
06.
26-11-2009
Dr. Strangelove
Surprisingly funny. LOVED IT.
07.
27-11-2009
Lost Highway
Aah, David Lynch. I've always found his illogical dream world to be highly disturbing, in a good way.
08.
28-11-2009
Forest of the Hanged
Remarkable acting. I enjoyed it much more than the book, but the music was annoying for the most part.
09.
28-11-2009
Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain ♣
I've always considered it a beautiful film, but now that I watch it again, some parts are just too artsy for my taste.

Amadeus
Mozart's story is shown from an extremely interesting perspective. Alas, I found the film much too long. I was too bored by the final part to properly enjoy the ending.
11.
30-11-2009
Next Stop Paradise
Surprisingly good, even though I'm starting to get tired of all the Romanian comedy-dramas.
12.
01-12-2009
The Godfather
Pretty much flawless, yet somehow fails to captivate me entirely.
13.
05-12-2009
The Rest Is Silence
The ending ruined it for me. Sacrificed the atmosphere for the sake of clarity. I think an open ending would have been much more fitting.
14.
06-12-2009
Down With Love
Its style pays great homage to the sex comedies of the sixties, but nothing more.
15.
06-12-2009
District 9
I see why it can appeal to certain people, but I simply hated it, despite my love for sci-fi. I expected so much more from it.
16.
07-12-2009
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Visually and mentally exhausting. I guess I should have been stoned in order to properly enjoy it.
17.
10-12-2009
Chicago
In spite of my general dislike of musicals, this one was pretty good.
18.
17-12-2009
Fargo
The characters are extremely well-written, but the plot isn't very captivating.
19.
17-12-2009
Bande à part ♣
One of my all-time favourites. Amazing in its simplicity.
20.
18-12-2009
The Big Lebowski
The Coen brothers, yet again. Amazingly funny, but a bit overdone.
21.
18-12-2009
Reservoir Dogs ♣
I love pretty much anything Tarantino makes.
22.
19-12-2009
Lolita (1962)
It was kind of boring overall, but I liked Kubrick's vision. It's different from the way I'd pictured the book, but good nonetheless.
23.
21-12-2009
The Doors
Utter crap. It made me feel disgusted with The Doors, in spite of my love of their music. It's not artistic. Just annoying.
24.
23-12-2009
The Illusionist
/
Extremely overrated. The ending was well-written, but it struck me as rather boring otherwise.
25.
25-12-2009
Stardust
Beautiful story. A fairytale with a twist.
26.
27-12-2009
Igby Goes Down
Beautiful, yet much too similar to The Catcher in the Rye.
27.
01-01-2010
Lolita (1997)
Much more explicit than the '62 version. Also, <3 Jeremy Irons.
28.
02-01-2010
Open Your Eyes
Amazing. Makes me want to take up Spanish again.
29.
03-01-2010
Vanilla Sky
You take a good movie, you ruin it, end of story.
30.
10-01-2010
The Sea Inside
Amenabar yet again. Pure brain food.
31.
18-01-2010
The Road
/
I haven't read the novel it's based on, but overall it's a great film.
32.
24-01-2010
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest ♣
Stunningly dramatic, in its own way.
33.
03-02-2010
The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus
Beautiful visuals, wild plotline.
34.

Paris, je t'aime

I got bored halfway through. Expected more from it.
