So I consider these rules to live by and unrealistically expect the same from everyone else.
Stumbled across this and now I want to watch Cinema Paradiso again!
I know I’m not like most normal people my age. I’m more likely to rock out to vintage Neil Young than the latest Jay-Z record. I didn’t think Anchorman was the funniest movie ever made and I didn’t realize there was someone famous in the Sketcher’s Super Bowl ad until the next morning. But if there’s one thing I think that I can get everyone on board with, it’s my love for going to the cinema. This probably comes as no surprise to anyone who knows me. I don’t just mean watching movies; I mean I love physically going to the movie theater.
When I was around 10 years old, my dad showed me “Back to the Future.” Instantly I fell in love with the idea of time travel. But I must say “Back to the Future” spoiled me; because it was so well thought out there are really very few holes to poke in it’s logic. But then I saw films like “Deja Vu” and “Premonition” that try to take the bait of changing the rules they want to use half way through the film. It also didn’t help that they just weren’t very good movies beyond their basic logic problems.
That all goes a a long way to say that I was very skeptical of the new film “Source Code.” It looked like a standard “I could save the world (or at least this train) if only I could time travel film.” I was wrong.
Help me pick my movie tonight! “La Dolce Vita”? “Shadows? Or “Pierrot Le Fou”?
If you don’t know I’m a nut for lists. And as the decade comes to a close I’ve decided to come up with my top 10 movies that I saw that were released this decade. I don’t claim to have seen everything I was supposed to see but here are ten movies that I liked and meant a lot to me (Movies made in 2009 are not on the list due to the fact that I like at least a year to mull over what I think about a film).
The list is pretty varied and includes a superhero, a spy, a neo-noir, 2 musicals and another film about music, a period piece, a french film, an animated film and an apocalyptic sci-fi.
I had a great (though excruciatingly difficult) time making this list. Feel free to tell me where I’m wrong. So enough of me here are the movies you should check out:
