Some of my favorite movies…what’s yours?
I'm one of those people who can:
- tell you what's going to happen within 15 min of the movie starting - the Sixth Sense stumped me, I'll admit.
- Can identify someone's voice in a movie or commercial within seconds
- can get involved with a movie I've never seen even if it's 10 min from the end
Therefore, I'm going to suggest some movies for you to watch.
Leon (The Professional) - watch the directors cut, it's much better and delves into the relationship much deeper. Jean Reno was BRILLIANT.
Amelie - really touching/silly/heartfelt movie. (Oh yeah, the guy in the movie is the guy in the Fifth Element that tries to hold up Corbin in his apartment - the guy with the hat. Yeah, I'm that good)
Shaolin Master Killer - okay, this is a corny chop-socky movie from the 70's but an ABSOLUTE classic kung fu movie.
300 - A Great adaptation of a graphic novel. If you like the style, watch Sin City as well.
Wedding Crashers - Rachel McAdams, nuff said. Well, okay, it's funny as hell too.
Shawshank Redemption - great Stephen King book, wonderful movie. (Thanks for the reminder Kent)
Seven Samurai - classic Japanese samurai movie. Must see.
Last Samurai - I have to admit that I actually liked Tom C in this, but Ken Watanabe who plays Katsumoto deserved an oscar for his performance. Must Must Must See.
So what are some of your favorites?

I tend to like quirky little movies that focus on characters. Like The World’s Fastest Indian. Once. The Visitor. Wilbur Wants to Kill Himself. I’m going to review a couple of recently seen ones on Monday, too.

I have only seen three of those movies, but you did include what is probably my all time favorite, The Shawshank Redemption. Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.

That’s all I can think of for right now….

One of my favorite parts is when Red gets out and carves his name in the room next to Brook’s name.
