- DirectorQuentin TarantinoStarsJohn TravoltaUma ThurmanSamuel L. JacksonThe lives of two mob hitmen, a boxer, a gangster and his wife, and a pair of diner bandits intertwine in four tales of violence and redemption.I dont have anything to say about this movie its just perfect all around perfect. Thank you Tarantino for this and a lot of other movies that came out of your brilliant head i cant wait getting blown away by the next one
- DirectorDavid FincherStarsBrad PittEdward NortonMeat LoafAn insomniac office worker and a devil-may-care soap maker form an underground fight club that evolves into much more.I'd love to tell you more about this one but the first rule of the fight club is you do not talk about the fight club...
just watch it, believe me if you get one of the most brilliant storys of all time you can't NOT love it. - DirectorLana WachowskiLilly WachowskiStarsKeanu ReevesLaurence FishburneCarrie-Anne MossWhen a beautiful stranger leads computer hacker Neo to a forbidding underworld, he discovers the shocking truth--the life he knows is the elaborate deception of an evil cyber-intelligence.Just watch it, nothing more to say about this one.
- DirectorNeill BlomkampStarsSharlto CopleyDavid JamesJason CopeViolence ensues after an extraterrestrial race forced to live in slum-like conditions on Earth finds a kindred spirit in a government agent exposed to their biotechnology.I thought I would never see a good Sci-Fi movie with aliens AND a great story after the alien movies but thank god Neill Blomkamp made it possible. I wanted to cry when I saw the credits of this film and my eyes get tearyeyed just thinking about the movie its just a masterpiece.
- DirectorIrvin KershnerStarsMark HamillHarrison FordCarrie FisherAfter the Rebel Alliance are overpowered by the Empire, Luke Skywalker begins his Jedi training with Yoda, while his friends are pursued across the galaxy by Darth Vader and bounty hunter Boba Fett.I just took Star Wars V because its my favorite of the old trilogy but i also absolutely love episode IV and VI its just like Casino and GoodFellas the whole OLD trilogy of Star Wars shares one spot.
- DirectorQuentin TarantinoStarsHarvey KeitelTim RothMichael MadsenWhen a simple jewelry heist goes horribly wrong, the surviving criminals begin to suspect that one of them is a police informant.Well as you can see I'm a big Tarantinofan (probably his biggest but everyone says that). I love Reservoir Dogs its unbelievable Tarantino had me with his first film i love everything about it the actors, the characters, the brilliant brilliant dialogs its just awesome.
- DirectorChristopher NolanStarsChristian BaleHeath LedgerAaron EckhartWhen the menace known as the Joker wreaks havoc and chaos on the people of Gotham, Batman must accept one of the greatest psychological and physical tests of his ability to fight injustice.Christopher Nolan the first. I dont know how many times I've seen the Dark Knight everyone wanted to watch it again and again and again. Why? Because it becomes not a bit boring even after the 20th time and thats something that just a handful of movies can do, still thrill me after the 100th time I'll never get tired of a good old magictrick.
- DirectorFrank MillerQuentin TarantinoRobert RodriguezStarsMickey RourkeClive OwenBruce WillisAn exploration of the dark and miserable Basin City and three of its residents, all of whom are caught up in violent corruption.You have never seen a movie like this and you will never see one like this, that would sum up this movie already Robert Rodriguez just knew how to take a dark cruel comicbook and creat a dark cruel adaptation that just makes me thank god I dont live in SinCity
- DirectorChristopher NolanStarsLeonardo DiCaprioJoseph Gordon-LevittElliot PageA thief who steals corporate secrets through the use of dream-sharing technology is given the inverse task of planting an idea into the mind of a C.E.O., but his tragic past may doom the project and his team to disaster.Christopher Nolan for the second time. Anyone who hasnt seen this movie what are you waiting for? In the past...lets say 11 years there hasnt been a movie with such a complex story.
- DirectorQuentin TarantinoStarsBrad PittDiane KrugerEli RothIn Nazi-occupied France during World War II, a plan to assassinate Nazi leaders by a group of Jewish U.S. soldiers coincides with a theatre owner's vengeful plans for the same.Once upon a time in Nazi occupied france...
isnt that an great way to start reading a fairytale to your kids? Tarantino shows again that great dialoges can create more thrills then the most awesome bulletfights and explosions michael bay could ever produce. - DirectorMartin ScorseseStarsRobert De NiroRay LiottaJoe PesciThe story of Henry Hill and his life in the mafia, covering his relationship with his wife Karen and his mob partners Jimmy Conway and Tommy DeVito.I think that GoodFellas and Casino are equal to each they both would share one spot.
- DirectorMartin ScorseseStarsRobert De NiroSharon StoneJoe PesciIn Las Vegas, two best friends - a casino executive and a mafia enforcer - compete for a gambling empire and a fast-living, fast-loving socialite.I think that GoodFellas and Casino are equal to each they both would share one spot.
- DirectorStanley KubrickStarsJack NicholsonShelley DuvallDanny LloydA family heads to an isolated hotel for the winter where a sinister presence influences the father into violence, while his psychic son sees horrific forebodings from both past and future.I think for the most part everything has been said about this one. The Shining is my most favorite Kubrick Film. I had to choose between Shining, A Clockwork Orange and maybe Full Metal Jacket but the Shining had one thing the others didnt have, Jack Nicholson and he is the perfect cast for an insane murderer in a horrormovie because I think he practically IS an insane murderer. I cant describe it, Jacks performance doesnt feel at all like an performance, its no comparison to Silence of the Lambs which is a very good movie but when I was introduced to Hannibal Lecter I saw Anthony Hopkins playing a canibal, in the shining I freaking saw Jack Torrance getting completly insane. What a shame Stephen King himself hates this movie.
- DirectorHayao MiyazakiStarsDaveigh ChaseSuzanne PleshetteMiyu IrinoDuring her family's move to the suburbs, a sullen 10-year-old girl wanders into a world ruled by gods, witches and spirits, and where humans are changed into beasts.Before anyone says oh a cartoon how childish first see it then tell me again its just for kids.
- DirectorRobert ZemeckisStarsMichael J. FoxChristopher LloydLea ThompsonAfter visiting 2015, Marty McFly must repeat his visit to 1955 to prevent disastrous changes to 1985...without interfering with his first trip.I love every part of back to the future so much i cant even describe it. I've chosen the second part for the list but you can also include the first and third part they are all totally wonderful movies.
- DirectorJames CameronStarsArnold SchwarzeneggerLinda HamiltonEdward FurlongA cyborg, identical to the one who failed to kill Sarah Connor, must now protect her ten year old son John from an even more advanced and powerful cyborg.James Camerons best movie, and my most favorite mix of action, sci-fi and actually a lot of heart. Often when I talk about Terminator 2 everyone just says: "yeah great action", but for me it's so much more than that, everytime *SPOILER* The Terminator turns to John at the end and says: "I know now why you cry" *END OF SPOILER* I get a little shock all over my body, I love it
- DirectorJean-Pierre JeunetStarsAudrey TautouMathieu KassovitzRufusDespite being caught in her imaginative world, Amelie, a young waitress, decides to help people find happiness. Her quest to spread joy leads her on a journey where she finds true love.Probably the best movie coming from France. This movie has everything i love a nice story, extremly over the top AND down to earth characters at the same time (is that even possible?) and a style and art of filmmaking i've never seen before or after and that definetly deserves a spot on this list
- DirectorSteven SpielbergStarsHarrison FordSean ConneryAlison DoodyIn 1938, after his father goes missing while pursuing the Holy Grail, Indiana Jones finds himself up against the Nazis again to stop them from obtaining its powers.I'm a big Indiana Jones fan and the last crusade is my favorite part but i also love the other movies of this awesome trilogy
and before you wonder no i'm not including the newest part it's such a shame i just try to erase it out of my memory and continue living with my perfect indi-trilogy - DirectorHarold RamisStarsBill MurrayAndie MacDowellChris ElliottA narcissistic, self-centered weatherman finds himself in a time loop on Groundhog Day.I would love to see Bill Murray more often on the big screen its a pitty i'm a bit too young (this movie was released when i was born^^) to see his movies in the cinema. Bill Murray is a great comedic actor and i have to deal with jacka****s like Vince Vaughn or even worse Adam Sandler...
- DirectorJoel CoenEthan CoenStarsJeff BridgesJohn GoodmanJulianne MooreJeff "The Dude" Lebowski, mistaken for a millionaire of the same name, seeks restitution for his ruined rug and enlists his bowling buddies to help get it.One of my favorite comedys and by far my favorite coen movie. I love the actors (especially steve buscemi as donny, i dont know why its just something about him that i realy like). Great jokes, fantastic dream sequences, a movie i can practically watch all the time.
- DirectorJames CameronStarsSam WorthingtonZoe SaldanaSigourney WeaverA paraplegic Marine dispatched to the moon Pandora on a unique mission becomes torn between following his orders and protecting the world he feels is his home.Avatar is more then a movie. I love it not because everyone else does but i think for the same reasons. This is a movie that doesnt have 3D as a cheap gimmick to get 2€ more out of my pocket it has 3D as a storytelling element. AND YES the story of avatar isnt the most brilliant never before seen story in history but if you seriously came out of the cinema thinking to yourself: wow that was a stupid movie then I'm realy sorry for you because you missed an experience. A journey to another world for more then two hours I freaking left earth and enjoyed Pandora, the Navi and their life. Avatar is so much more then a nice looking movie with a cheap story its an adventure that tells story and atmosphere through its visuals and if you hate that I can't help you.
