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.
21/ 100: Amélie (2001)
Truly overflowing with awards and nominations was this sugar sweet romantic comedy. Waitress Amélie decides one day to give other people a hand with happiness. Like a contemporary fairy tale character, she triumphs into the lives of someone who list a box of personal things as a child, of bar customers looking for love, and many others. Then she falls in love herself. With his film, director Jean-Pierre Jeunet paints a friendly, colorful, spotless imaginary Paris where anything is possible. A movie guaranteed to put a smile on your face. Check out my full review HERE
22/ 100: Singin’ in the Rain (1952)
Don Lockwood and Lina Lamont re undisputed box office magnets in the heyday of the silent film. But then Hollywood moves to sound film, and Lina turns out to have a voice like a crow. Perhaps, suggests friendly pianist and Don’t friend Cosmo, it would be an idea to have the sweet-voiced Kathy speak and sing her lines? Quite possibly the best MGM musical of all-time. In addition to the iconic title track, “Singin’ in the Rain” includes catchy songs like “Make ‘em Laugh” and “Good Morning”, which is of course combined with fantastic choreographed scenes. Another movie to always make me happy. Ready the full review HERE
23/ 100: Back to the Future (1985)
Seventeen-year-old Mary McFly travels to the past with the help of the time machine of his friend, Doctor Emmett Brown. There he meets his bumbling father and his charming mother. He will have to pair them up, or he will never be born. Director Robert Zemeckis and writer Bob Gale’s brillian, witty script of this, now classic, time-tracel film was approved by the Universal studios only after long hesitation. It turned out to be a perfect film in the genre, a favorite for many, including myself! HERE is the full review.
24/ 100: Groundhog Day (1993)
Bill Murray is perfect as the cynical weatherman Phil Connors, who keeps waking up on the same day in a North American town. Slowly, Phul becomes imbued with the philosophical sides of his fate and although he doesn’t lose his sarcastic edge, he begins each day, by necessity, with a new and gradually somewhat better life. One of the best comedies from the 1990s, with an otherwise standard story executed brilliantly. Check out the full review HERE
25/ 100: Halloween (1978)
Classic horror about an escaped psychopath who terrorizes his hometown. The film confirmed director John Carpenter’s talent for the genre and earned Jamie Lee Curtis the honorary title of Scream Queen. “Halloween” is successful because of the craftmanship of the acting, the effective lighting and use of the subjective camera, the excellent tension building and editing, and the ingenious music composed by John Carpenter himself. There were many sequels, but none of them matched the atmospheric original. You can read the full review HERE
