The Fall – 2006 Director: Tarsem Singh Genre: Fantasy, Drama Why I LOVE it: I love every scene with the little girl (Catinca Untaru) and Roy (Lee Pace). I feel like I’m watching something in real life, not on a tv screen (or computer screen, as the case may be). Anyway, Catinca wins the prize [...]

The Prestige – 2006 Director: Christopher Nolan Genre: Drama, Thriller Why I love it: This is one of those films that you get a little more out of each time you see it. Each time is different, and the first time you see it, you will want to immediately watch it again because, simply put, [...]

Top Hat – 1935 Director: Mark Sandrich Genre: Musical, Comedy Why I love it: My siblings and I grew up watching Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers movies (and no, I’m not 80 years old, thank you very much).

The Princess Bride – 1987 Director: Rob Reiner Genre: Fantasy, Comedy Why I love it: Let’s face it, this list wouldn’t be worth a used piece of chewing gum if it didn’t include this movie. I grew up with this movie and pretty much have it memorized. The wonderful thing about it is that there [...]

Hero – 2002 Director: Yimou Zhang Genre: Martial Arts Why I love it: This film has everything going for it: enthralling story, gorgeous cinematography, lovely score, and fight scenes that look more like dancing than fighting (all while defying physics).

Schindler’s List – 1993 Director: Steven Spielberg Genre: Drama Why I love it: This is a powerful, moving film that shows how important a human life is.

Casablanca – 1942 Director: Michael Curtiz Genre: Drama Why I love it: This movie is so classic! Ingrid Bergman and Humphrey Bogart… can’t go wrong there. The story is sweet, romantic, and sad.

Kind Hearts and Coronets – 1949 Director: Robert Hamer Genre: Dark Comedy Why I love it: The first time I saw this movie I was in shock that such a hysterical movie existed. It’s beyond amazing. Basically, a bitter young man finds out that he is in line to inherit the title of duke. The [...]
