Yeah, I think I finally start to know your tastes. I was thinking you wouldn't like this one too, don't ask me why!

There are lots of movies about fictional dictatorships and revolutions set in a near future, most of them too pretentious to be taken seriously.

V for Vendetta is NOT one of those movies.

Thanks to its brilliant script, brought to life by two wonderful perfomances (Natalie Portman and Hugo Weaving) and impeccable directing, it became one of the most quoted and influential movies of the XXI century. Influential not only to other films but to society.
Born from a comic book and massified by this film, the mask of Guy Fawkes left the cinematic world and became the symbol of hacktivism, thanks to Anonymous. Only a hanful of movies can be proud of that kind of deep influence, and that has to mean something.

Can I rep you a million time??

you OBVIOUSLY get a rep for this masterpiece. A huge favorite of mine

Simple but incredibly powerful and truthful... Teen years are not easy and this movie portrays it really well, using every highschool stereotype to make a point!
Something that I will always watch it in a different way depending how old am I, but that will never fail to make me nostalgious!

I used to worship V for Vendetta as a kid, but not really anymore. Gonna give you rep anyways because it's still a good film.

The Breakfast Club is great, and the improvised last scene is incredible.

The first review I ever wrote was about Rosemary's Baby. Here's an excerpt from it:

Rosemary's Baby is a gruesome and intense story adapted for the big screen by the Polish director Roman Polanski, from the novel with the same name by Ira Levin. Although it does not contain the elements that traditionally compose a horror movie (blood, sudden shock-moments, etc.) this film is a masterpiece of its genre because it does not depend on these same elements to create a truly frightening and unsettling atmosphere.

The unsettling and gloomy atmosphere present throughout the film is immediately introduced by the strange lullaby sung by Mia Farrow during the opening credits.
The architecture, decoration and lightning of the settings create in the viewer a constant sense of claustrophobia and the confusing succession of screenshots in some moments - particularly during the odd nightmare of Rosemary - implement in the public an almost asphyxiating feeling of anxiety that lasts for several hours after the end of the movie.
In general, all the actors are very convincing in their roles and contribute a lot in creating a great familiarity between the viewer and the scene. However, there are two representations that stand out: Mia Farrow is brilliant in the role of the innocent young pregnant woman, fragile and submissive, personality to which his avant-garde pixie hair cut offers an interesting counterpoint, and Ruth Gordon offers a sublime interpretation of the comic yet sinister Minnie Castavet.
Roman Polanski leads the suspense masterfully, revealing the whole plot progressively, creating a very intimate connection between the viewer and the main character. This turns to be particularly brilliant when, instead of ending the film with some unexpected and shocking happening, he chooses a predictable but inevitable conclusion, as if we all knew bad things were meant to happen and there was no way out. This makes the story even scarier.

Personally, I don’t like to feel anxious and scared, so to say that I have suffered every second of this film is the best thing I can say about it. It is undoubtedly one of the greatest masterpieces in the history of horror cinema and a must for all lovers of the genre.

V for Vendetta and Rosemary's Baby are both terrific, and The Breakfast Club is better than terrific.

It is a very Brazilian film in terms of dealing with the core of Brazil's corruption problems. The system is rotten to the core and high crime rates are a reflection of that.

Rep for The Breakfast Club and V For Vendetta. The first is on my own 100 and I've loved it from that first viewing back in the 80's. V was something I didn't think I was going to like and didn't watch for quite a while. But it's also one of those films which , for some reason, I change my mind about or see/hear something about it which appeals to me, and so I give it a chance. As I suspected, I liked it. Possibly a little more than I thought I would.

Rosemary's Baby, on the other hand, is just dull. I liked it more than I had the last time I watched it, but that's not the same as liking it. On that viewing I just found it dull and uninteresting rather than hating it.

Love The Breakfast Club and Rosemary's Baby. Really like Lock Stock much prefer it to Snatch. V For Vendetta is quite good too.

If this is not the most depressive movie I ever saw, it's really really close. I remember finishing this and being completely immobile looking at the screen for a really long time, with my eyes so red from crying they hurted.
I love the naive touch, the magic atmosphere and the contrast created by the innocence of a child and the horrors of an atomic bomb. It's really hard to ask for something more emotional than this.
Hotaru no haka is a work of a genius and, even if I know very little about anime, Takahata is still the director who impressed me the most, so far!

Not that big a fan of Grave of the Fireflies if i'm honest, no idea why it is extremely well made but it just didn't work for me.

I think I have a heart of stone because I didn't cry with this film

V for Vendetta is in my 100 too. The Breakfast Club and Grave of the Fireflies are 2 great 80s movies.
