Being a movie buff & being surrounded by movie buffs,
I think this entry is totally necessary!
In fact, Buttons & me got into quite a debate
when we’re coming up with this following list.
It got us totally excited and orgasmic as well.
It’s true – good movies can really bring you to a new high.
I know there will probably be a lot of debate and ideas coming up from you,
especially if you’re a movie buff yourself!
So if you’ve got other movies not mentioned here and
you think everyone should watch them before they die,
please do us a favour and share!
That’s why, here is a list of my
TOP TEN FAVOURITE MOVIES!
ONE

In no particular order, I’d first like to introduce CLOSER.
Starring Jude Law, Julia Roberts, Clive Owen and Natalie Portman,
this show has probably already won half the battle with its impressive cast.
This movie is believable, accurate and
probably a little too harsh showcasing how fucked up
adults, relationship and sex can turn out to be.
I love the intensity of the show and particularly the dialogues.
TWO

SILENCE OF THE LAMB needs no introduction.
Total pure classic.
All it takes is one cold stare from the intelligent and psychotic
Dr. Hannibal Lecter to send chills down your spine.
I always liked thrillers and particularly this one,
because it’s really god damn sick.
THREE

Oh! I love GHOST by Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze.
I’ve watched it around three times & I adore everything
from Unchained Melody to Demi Moore‘s short crop in that show.
It left me at the edge of my chair
feeling angry & heartbroken all at the same time.
I’m sure everyone would know that classic scene at the pottery wheel.
This one is a must watch!
FOUR

AMELIE is my favourite girl.
Enchanted, whimsical & unimaginably amusing.
She seeks solitude and loves it.
I love the cinematography of this movie and
how little details are always brought to the viewers’ attention.
It taught me how to appreciate small things in life.
How I wish I can see the world through Amelie’s eyes!
I can still remember the scene when Amelie asked herself -
“How many people are having an orgasm in Paris right now?”
And she can randomly decide on “Fifteen”.
My favourite quote from the movie?
“You’ll never be a vegetable – even artichokes have hearts.”
FIVE

Yet another nervewrecking, mind effing movie.
Buttons & I totally agreed that this movie has got to be in the top ten!
Firstly, there’s Ashton Kutcher in it.
Secondly, I totally love “Stop Crying Your Heart Out” by Oasis.
And even if those two reasons are invalid,
the plot of this show has got to be rated as TOTALLY AWESOME.
BUTTERFLY EFFECT – what a perfect name for this movie.
SIX

I remember watching this movie when I was still a kid.
The scene with the dog escaping the fire in the tunnel is truly memorable.
I haven’t watched this one in a long time though.
But from what I could gather (based on my memories of the show),
this movie is totally fantastic!
Will Smith rocked.
And if I remember correctly,
the actor who was the US President was quite cute too.
SEVEN

HORS DE PRIX, also known as Priceless.
I caught this show in the theatre twice when it was being screened.
Again by one of my favourite actress, Audrey Tautou.
I just cannot take my eyes off Irene (played by Audrey) in this movie.
It’s the love story between a gold digger and a poor waiter.
But some twists came along & made this one a really adorable film!
EIGHT

BEFORE SUNRISE is about two strangers spending a night in Vienna.
The affinity between them is almost magical but yet very convincing.
The movie doesn’t boast of a lot of action or whatsoever,
just packed with intriguing and interesting conversations.
The sequel, BEFORE SUNSET is shot 9 years after the first movie.
1995 & 2004.
In the movie, it was exactly 9 years apart as well.
So you can really see Ethan Hawke & Julie Delpy aging a little.
I love the song “Let Me Sing You A Waltz” in this one.
Love it!
NINE

Leonardo Dicaprio‘s acting was totally awesome in this.
Period.
TEN

Who doesn’t love the whole espionage-gone-wrong,
‘the corporation is turned against you’ idea?
I think somehow Singaporeans loved this one for the
whole anti-establishment, sanitised and removed ‘agency’ in it.
Besides, Matt Damon was real beefed up for the film as well.
Yummy.
?
Sorry that I ain’t no Star Wars or Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter fan.
There are really too many shows that I adore!
Actually I’m one big sucker for chick flicks too.
Bring It On. Sex And The City. Devil Wears Prada. Mean Girls.
I TOTALLY LOVE THEM!
I didn’t include any Chinese shows as well – WAY TOO MANY to mention!
Here are other shows I think I should watch before I die too.
I better get down to watching them soon!
Memento
Talented Mr Ripley
Reservoir Dogs
Trainspotting
Godfather
Okay, time for Kill Bill!
