No Country For Old Men, my #23, is a terrific film, but the Coens just love to throw curves towards the end at the audience. They did...

I'd say there is about 2% shouting in There Will be Blood, my #24. Plainview is a salesman, and if you haven't been exposed to a certain type of salesman, then you should count yourself lucky and use...

Mulholland Dr. is another film everybody seems to love, but I only slightly like. My favorite scene is when Naomi Watts "acts" with Chad Everett. That's "real" and doesn't need twists to make...

Spirited Away is toppish Miyazaki, a bizarre but surprisingly relatable fantasy that's massively popular. I had it at #18, so it must have hypnotized me too into forgetting a few other movies.

Tell No One, my #14, is a tense French movie-movie, which plays out as both a compelling mystery and an action-thriller, tells the story of Dr. Alexandre Beck (François Cluzet) whose wife is...

My #17, Pan's Labyrinth, begs the question, "How does one differentiate between a fairy tale and a historical tragedy?" Are fairy tales just tragic historical stories which have been passed down...

Since so many people have already announced how lousy The Return of the King is, I have to say it's my #2. Unlike others who say the F/X suck and the ending goes on way too long, what I actually see...

Zodiac is told in pseudodocumentary fashion a la All the President's Men. Great performances, great suspense. Definitely worthy of my list and this list, but I supported loser films, some bolded...

The Dark Knight is my #9.

I felt that the Joker was actually one of the more honest characters in the movie. Even if he changed the story of his origin depending exactly on who he was talking to,...

Wong Kar-wai's In the Mood For Love is a beautiful romance bordering on a mystery-thriller. Always interesting to watch but doesn't really affect me at all.

Memento is very entertaining and...

Kill Bill: Vol. 1 is a solid set-up for the epic saga. Is everyone aware that Tarantino stole part of The Candy Snatchers (1973) as inspiration?

I'm pretty sure that most people realize that...

Amélie is a gorgeous souffle of a romantic comedy, overflowing with visual and verbal humor as well as a fair share of surrealism. Some might find it too dense for something so light, but it's...

Maybe I just live in an Alternate Universe from everybody (or an alternate movie universe since there's no difference). You remember the awesome scene in Pulp Fiction where the Uma Thurman character...

I thought that the The Departed was meant to be commercial. The quick orchestration of what...
