Lost in Translation (2003)
Admittedly you won't like this film...
Unless you know what it's like to be in another country, feeling separate, detached... lonely. And you will not like this movie unless you are inexplicably drawn to living in another country for that exact reason.
Lost in Translation captures this very unique mood and that's what's so impressive. That someone could imagine the sounds, characters, visuals and connections that so perfectly express what those abroad feel and are drawn to is what's so impressive.
So it is a targeted film and one that will not ever be on the IMDB top 150. Because there is only a few that will relate and the rest will look confusingly on in the same way they will to their friends and family that choose to live or stay in another country as something other than a vacation. For that i give even more credit to the involved with this movie.
Dumb and Dumber (1994)
A movie hobbyists favoeite
See what I did there? :). I'm a movie hobbyist, and love the artistic, the thrillers, the mysteries, the art form, the movies! And this dumb movie is my favorite movie all time. I feel like I grew up with this movie. My friends and I have quoted this movie so many times it was like the skeleton of our childhood. I've seen it hundreds of times. And each time, as I grow older, wiser, and smarter, I see something new, and dumb... and laugh.
The Tree of Life (2011)
Will be a 1 or a 10
Depending on your background and how you grew to, this will be a 1 or a 10. For those that grew up in small town, Christian families, this movie will be unforgettable. The kind that gives you shivers down the spine. You'll remember it decades later. It will help you make sense of your experience both past present and future. For those of us that grew up this way, this is a gift of a movie.
For those that came up a different way this will be a 1, and I can understand that.
The Confession Killer (2019)
What about Becky?
Spoiler: would have been a 9 if they had been honest about the Becky case. How did Henry know where her body was? Lol let's be honest- he probably did kill her.
Chen mo de zhen xiang (2020)
Really good
Best Chinese cinema I've ever seen- world class! Great story, filming, acting... Best drama I've seen in a long long time.
