+14
3 from my list came up!
Kill Bill vol 2 is my #9
The Pianist is my #12
Lost in Translation is my #18
Special mention to Royal Tenembaums that was one of the last movies I cut from my list. The only reason I didn't include it is that I've only seen it once, even though I remember loving it the time I saw it. The Needle in the hay scene particularly stuck with me.
Kill Bill: I just love Tarantino, everything he makes is a favorite of mine (almost). I see Kill Bill as one long film so I don't really distinguish the quality of the second and the first. It's incredibly unique, stylish, toony, but so much fun. It ranks among the film I just love for their entertainment value, it doesn't have anything to say about the world, I don't feel changed after watching it, I just have a good time.
The Pianist: I rewatched it for the list and I'm so glad I did. The movie is shocking, beautiful, I can't really explain why, but it has a whole different feel then other holocaust movies I've seen. I felt more the poverty, the despair in Adrian Brody's character then in almost any other character in any movie. The scene when he plays piano for the German soldier is among my favorite of the decade. I think Adrian Brody isn't the best actor in general, I have a hard time to forget he's Adrian Brody (so I don't get immersed in the character). However, he's perfect in this role, it's the only film I've seen from him that I really see the character and not the actor. Loved it.
Lost in Translation is a feel good movie to me. I just have a good time seeing Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson having a good time together. The film is also visually beautiful. There are flaws in the film, I think Giovanni Ribisi's character is poorly written, he's overly non caring for his wife, I don't find that realistic (to be that much indifferent). Overall a film I love.
