If you know me at all, you know that I adore Edgar Wright and his Blood and Ice Cream trilogy, those being this, Hot Fuzz, and the upcoming The World's End. When having to chose between this and Hot Fuzz, I decided that I enjoy Shaun better simply because I think it's slightly funnier. I think it has to do with the fact that I know more about the zombie/horror genre then action buddy-cop films. What makes this film so funny is that it's throwing jokes at you every half second and it throws different types of jokes at you. This makes the film infinitely rewatchable and even funnier the next time you see it. I might be going over the same points that I did in my review, but hey, that doesn't mean it isn't right.

"Attack the Block" is a film that when I first saw it, I didn't review it honestly. I was so hyped for this movie that when I saw it, I was genuinely dissapointed. The why is it on this list? Well, after seeing it multiple times with multiple different people, I've come to the conclusion that this film is as great as I thought it was going to be. It does the impossible and makes you love characters that you hate at first. It also has great gore and acting from unknown and first-time actors. Overall, I love this film and I gurantee most people will too.

This movie is perfect for anyone who wants to get into the film industry in any way. It's all about the love of film and the love of making a film. It's all about a young man who understands what a good movie is, but he just can't make a decent movie to save his life, and there's something really endering about that. The performances are great, the recreations of Ed Wood's movies are great, and Martin Landau as Bela Lugosi is spectacular and haunting at points. This is a great and criminally overlooked film.

Intresting story about this spot on my list, I knew I wanted either Up or this film on this list, but I couldn't have both. After thinking about it long enough, I decided that I enjoyed Spirtied Away slightly more then Up. Spirited Away was the first Miyazaki movie I saw that really affected me, that hit me in just the right way. After my first viewing, I watched it three more times just because I loveed it so much. It's so visually rich and has a simple but effective story. The score is amazing, my personal favorite being the song played during the train sequence. My only problem with this movie, well actually it's a problem with Disney, is that they've yet to release this and many other classic Studio Ghibli films on Blu-Ray! Either way. this is still an amazing movie and an experiance I'll never forget.
I have yet to review this movie, key word being "yet".

I've discovered recently that I like watching documentaries, but what made me become more open to them was this film. Exit Through the Gift Shop shows you that a documentary can be fun and informational. It's endlessly entertaining with it's main subject Terry, and the situations he gets into. In my opnion, it never feels like a documentary, it feels more like am actual story driven film that happens to follow a real-life exactly as it happened. I also love this movie for introducing me to one of my favorite muscians Richard Hawley. I've seen this film many times and probably will see many more times.

Brutal, hopeful, haertbreaking, funny, and infinitly rewatchable, those are words I would use to describe The Shawshank Redemption. What else can I really say? I've seen it, you've seen, we've all seen it and loved it. It's one of those films that was almost completely overlooked when it came out, and just like Fight Club or The Wizard of Oz, it was saved by rentals and tv play. It's a spectacular film that I will alsways love.

I'd always heard of the Evil Dead films and how amazing they were. I'd been dying to see this particular entry and when I finally did, I knew why people love this movie. It's funny, crazy, creative, and can be pretty scary at times. I've seen this movie at least 10 times and it never gets old. If you love horror and don't mind a lot of gore, why haven't you seen this yet?

When I saw this last year, it came as a complete surprise to me. I was expecting another overrated 4 hour epic from the 60's that would be boring and have like three scenes worth watching. Luckily, it was so much more then that. The story of T.E. Lawerence is so intriging and this film doesn't lose any of that intrige. While it is almost 4 hours long, it earns the right to be long and has few filler in it. I adore this film and if you have the time, I bet you will too.

A truly emotional experiance, "American Beauty" is another one that hit me in just the right way. Every character is deep and has multiple sides to them, everyone gives an amazing performance, and it was one of the first times I discovered the subtext and metaphor of a film on my own. It's a very important movie in my life and I don't think I will ever forget it.

This is one of the only movies that I at one time watched on a daily basis, why? I honestly don't have a clue. Maybe it's the endering and deep characters, maybe it's the playful, clever writing, maybe I'm just weird and like weird stuff. Either way, I simply love "Mary and Max" and I recommend it to anyone who will listen. If you've yet to see this masterpiece, you owe yourself a good experiance and should see this right now.
