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.
42/ 100: Stand By Me (1986)
A writer reminisces about his childhood friendship in the 1950s. Flashbacks take us back to a summer in Oregon, when four young boys go looking for the body of a missing teenager. Director Rob Reiner made a moving an effective film of the story written by Stephen King, which he named “The Body”. Beautiful and believable acting by the young actor, especially River Phoenix. HERE is my full review.
43/ 100: Fargo (1996)
Tragicomic masterpiece by the Coen Brothers, in which Jerry has his own wife kidnapped because he needs money for a business deal. The evil scheme fails miserably because of, on the one hand, the botched work of the criminals involved and, on the other, the exceptional detective skills of the pregnant police chief Marge. Frances McDormand as Marge is a delight, she created one of my favorite female movie characters of all-time. And “Fargo” is my favorite film by the Coen Brothers. You can find my full review HERE.
44/ 100: Ratatouille (2007)
The film is about the young rat Rémy who dreams of becoming a chef in a top Paris restaurant. Rémy ends up in the former 5-star restaurant of his great idol, the late top chef Gusteau, where he makes an alliance with the talentless but ambitious kitchen help Linguini. Not only does the technical mastery impress, the film superbly combines seriousness and fun. The story is layered and offers top entertainment for all age. Check out my full revies HERE.
45/ 100: American History X (1998)
Edward Norton plays Derek Vinyard, an American neo-Nazi with intellectual ambitions. His little brother Danny sees him as his idol, even when Derek ends up in prison for the murder of two black men. In prison, Derek repents, while Danny falls further and further under the spell of a local leader of the extremist movement. When Derek is released things escalate. Edward Norton plays fantastic. The story is intense, which makes “American History X” an excellent film that is still topical. You can read my full review HERE.
