FIFY

Bram Stoker's Dracula.

Just a nice movie, It's the closest movie to the novel than any other.

Adaptation: Mind bending metafictional twists and Nick Cage. Simply wonderful.

Adam's Apples: An incredibly dark and deliciously quirky black comedy from Denmark starring Mads Mikkelsen . It explores religeon, destiny, suffering, and apple pies. I love it.

Pusher 2: Also starring Mads Mikkelsen, this is a gritty crime drama with a darkly comic streak. (I like my comedy black.) It shows how crime affects the people involved and their families, and is so realistic they even got real criminals to show them how to steal cars. A highlight is two guys trying to work out how to change a baby's nappy.

Bronson: A biopic of notorious Brittish criminal Charles Bronson, played by Tom Hardy (aka Eames from Inception). He has been in solitary confinement for almost all his adult life, and this film shows how a man (albeit a slightly crazy man) deals with that. It makes you think about the nature of humanity and the justice system.

The Dark Knight: Batman being awesome, and Heath Ledger also being awesome. Heath Ledger didn't play the Joker. He became the Joker. Watching him on the screen was terrifying and hypnotising.

28 Days Later: A great zombie flick. I also loved the interactions of the characters as they all try to deal with their situation in different ways, and almost become a family. And the chick with the machette was awesome.

Re-Animator: I watched it last night. It was gory and terrifying and hilarious.

Cube: Again the interactions of the characters and seeing them evolve and reveal their true natures is what makes this a fantastic movie. Leaving the ending so ambiguous makes it perfect.

Inception: Amazing! All of Chris Nolans movies are brilliant, but this is his magnum opus. Having to juggle five layers of thrillers could have gone horribly wrong, but this is done perfectly, making the tension and payoff five times better!

My Neighbour Totoro: A beautiful film about a small family's trials, from the perspective of two young daughters. Also, forrest spirits. Insanely awesome forrest spirits. Hayao Miyazaki's Princess Mononoke also has awesome forrest spirits, but with action and adventure instead of slice-of-life family drama. Both are worth checking out.

Little Shop of Horrors: In my opinion, the best movie musical. Seriously, nothing can beat a giant talking plant from outer space. I love how a cheesy musical deals with poverty and domestic abuse with such compassion. Also, Steve Martin and Rick Moranis in my favourite of their roles. I just wish they had kept the original ending

Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction: Sharp dialogue and sharp suits, what more could you want?

Life of Brian: Absurd comedy, social commentary, perfect.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: The darkest of the film adaptation yet, but with wonderful comic relief that is pitch perfect and feels like real people trying to stave off oppressive bleakness with a few laughs. Simply amazing.

Also the Fisher King and Fear and Loathing and many more, but this post is getting too long already...

Ginger Snaps, the Hunger, Harry Potter, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Scary Movie, all those spoofs, Nightmare On Elm Street series, and Child's Play series.

oh and Nightmare Before Christmas, Sweeney todd... tim burton stuff

I think any of Miyazaki's movies are worth checking out. I have not seen My Neighbor Totoro, but I have seen Princess Mononoke, Kiki's delivery Service (which should appeal to steampunks I'd imagine), Howl's Moving Castle, Spirited Away, and Whisper of the Heart. All of them were excellent and worth watching.

Rear Window
It´s probably the only movie I can watch more than once (okay, there is one more that´ll be mentioned later). I have a huge problem with watching the same movie, reading the same book or even playing the same game more than once, but Rear Window is definitely worth of doing an exception. Every time I watch it I see something new and I´m always fascinated with James Stewart´s acting. I can almost feel what he feels and almost see things the way he sees them
Not to mention that the whole story has the proper beginning and end, there´s no messing up between times or involving the characters that do not belong in there.
Even though there´s no murder directly showed, you know something has happened, and you know who did it but you still can´t stop watching it.
I´ve seen this movie first time when I was 13 and since then this has been my all time favourite movie.

Det sjunde inseglet (The Seventh Seal)
Well, I´m not quite sure why is this movie on my list or why do I like it so much.
It has a charm, something that makes me feel ´blessed` when I watch it. I don´t know is it because of characters or because environment ... I simply like it.
It´s funny too or, at least, it was funny to me.

Peter Pan
Okay, this it the another exception of a movie I can watch more than once.
I´m watching this movie with my sister almost every month for the past five years and I still can get enough of it. I have it synchronized in my native language and it´s sooo funny that I can´t even describe it. Yes, story is nice, too but the ´light` around the text is even nicer. I don´t want to stop watching this movie ever

Sunset Boulevard
Hmm, hard to say why. We got the strange English teacher that showed us that movie in one of our classes. The movies was ... weird, because I think we were too young too see it at that time, but now I think it was too generous of him for introducing such a great movie to us. I haven´t watched it again, and I don´t think I will, but it still has its own place on the list of my favourite movies.

The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari
Funny. And this was the movie that got me into Christian Death, actually.
Since I really enjoy black and white movies, I though this movie is a must watch for me so I watched it and liked it. Then I browsed web trying to find scenes from the movie and found this.
It´s not showing the whole beauty of the movie but it shows the beauty of the music. I don´t have to say that everytime I hear Deathwish (and I must say that chosen song fits well with the movie), I see The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari

It´s A Wonderful Life
I watched this one because people say they cry at it. Since I´m curious I wanted to feel what they feel when they watch the certain movie. It´s not the plot that made me like it, but the characters, George Bailey (and lucky me, James Stewart in this one, again) and his feelings. And the environment is lovely, of course.
Nice video: Nice video

´The Ninth Gate`
Ambient and books

´The Black Cat`
Cat was lovely
Worth watching
Song and scenes beautifully combined together

´The Lord of the Rings`
Excellent

Another movies worth mentioned:
Corpse Bride
The Birds

Oh, I love Hitchcock! I have seen all of his films with the one exception of the most popular - North By Northwest



The original has to be better than the remake. Demi Moore was just baaaaaaaad in that one.




We are going to get along. A lot of people can't even sit through this flick, let alone admit they love it.

~spidey

Totally agree, love that film, and I usually hate musicals.

Feed me Seymor!

I saw this movie a couple of days ago! Love it!

Some of my favorites would include...

Fargo (oh, yah)
Miller's Crossing
The Big Lebowski
Blood Simple
Pulp Fiction
Jackie Brown
LA Confidential
The Usual Suspects
Heat (the Michael Mann one)
Klute
Dog Day Afternoon
The Shining
Star Wars
The Empire Strikes Back
The Muppet Movie
The Breakfast Club
Say Anything (Lloyd Dobler is my fantasy boyfriend)
Pretty In Pink (terrible movie, but I'm in love with Duckie Dale)
Ghost World
Welcome to the Dollhouse
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Cabaret
Chicago (I'm not a '30sgirl for nothing)

And for those who enjoyed Tim Burton's version of Sweeney Todd, you should check out the televised version of the original Broadway play with George Hearn as Sweeney (the original and best Sweeney, imho) and Angela Lansbury as Mrs. Lovett. The play actually has a dark sense of humor, which the movie doesn't, and I much prefer to laugh when I'm dealing with dark issues.

Check it: the wonderfully eerie intro, which Burton completely eliminated from his movie, although he used instrumental themes throughout the soundtrack. And the blackly hilarious A Little Priest, far funnier in the play than the movie.

Did you mean The Seventh Sign?
The movie I was talking about is The Seventh Seal, directed by Mr. Ingmar Bergman.
I should´ve been a bit more precise

Still, I highly recommend it, if you haven´t seen it.

Don't read too much into Bronson. That film is a work of utter fiction. In reality, that particular inmate was sentenced for a relatively short period of time then spent the rest of the time behind bars for assaults and killings that he performed inside mainly without provocation - the number of his cell mates (who were actually his lovers in some cases) who ended up being stabbed in the middle of the night is ridiculous. He didn't end relationships - he ended / tried to end lives instead when he got bored with them.

He was listed as the UK's no.1 most dangerous man purely because of total lack of any morals and desire to knife people at the slightest even perceived slight. Anyone in the know in the UK thought that it was a travesty that the film was made at all, then even more so when it was seen that he was being portrayed as some sort prison-system anti-hero. Nothing so bad has been made since McVicar.
