I decided to rewatch my 100 favorite movies of all-time. What those are,
you can check HERE. I watch them in random order, there is no rhyme or reason
there, just watching those movies I love so much.
16/ 100: Heat (1995)
Policeman Vincent Hanna hunts down bank robber Neil McCauley. Two professionals, with sad private lives. Extremely stylish portrayed crime drama, tightly edited and very well directed. Yet this is primarily the film of two acting masters: Robert De Niro and Al Pacino. An absolute highlight of the genre. You can read my full review HERE.
17/ 100: The Silence of the Lambs (1991)
Rookie FBI-agent Clarice Starling is tasked with unblocking a stalled investigation into a serial killer. To do so, she must interrogate another brilliant serial killer in prison, Hannibal “the cannibal” Lecter. That character promptly became an iconic villain, in part because of Anthony Hopkins’ inspired (and Oscar-winning) performance). Jodie Foster is also really strong. Several sequels and prequels followed, but not one of them reached the level of this classic. Read my full review HERE.
18/ 100: E.T. The Extra Terrestrial (1982)
A movie I loved as a child and still love today. “E.T. The Extra Terrestrial” is a fairy tale as comical as it is compelling. A young boy takes in a lost alien, but must hide it from uncomprehending adults. Spielberg’s ode to childlike innocence and thirst for adventure puts a smile on everyone’s face and a made us all tear up as well. You can read my full review HERE.
19/ 100: Monsters Inc. (2001)
The monster employees of Monsters Inc. emerge from closet doors at night to collect the screams of scared children, for the purpose of powering Monstropolis. At the top are Sully and his partner Mike. They accidentally bring in a human girl, Boo, who in Monstropolis is believed to be toxic and dangerous. Still my favorite Pixar movie. The sequel, or prequel actually, was also very funny and entertaining, but never lives up to the original. Read my full review HERE.
20/ 100: The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)
This macabre stop-motion animated film follows the adventures of Pumpin King Jack Skellington, who has had enough of his dark Halloweentown and its monstrous inhabitants. By chance, he discovers blissful Christmastown, and he and his creepy friends decide to kidnap Santa. Nearly three years of fiddling with the characters resulted in a fairy-tale like viewing film that is still a worthy alternative to “The Grinch”. HERE you can read my full review.
