Without a doubt, my favourite movie has got to be The Perks of Being a Wallflower.
The very first time I watched it, I sat in silence for a few minutes, then rewatched it.

Well the movie Solaris 1972 by Andrei Tarkovsky is carved in my mind and it's one of the best movies that I've watched so far that has a great content about the meaning of life...

It's "A Walk to Remember" .. because it's simple yet complicated. Complicated because the male lead changes his behaviour a lot just after an impromptu kiss on stage. Simple because they fell hard for each other and really deep.

I don't think I make sense :(

Out of Africa because its beatiful to watch and listen to. The fact that it is based on a book written by Isak Dinesen (aka Karen Blixen) makes it even better!

My overall favorite movie is On the Waterfront. Watching the magnificent performances of Brando, Steiger, Cobb, Malden and Saint is breathtaking. It's a great story, the dialogue is crisp and poignant courtesy of Budd Schulberg, and the direction by Elia Kazan is masterful. Which reminds me. I think I'll watch it today!

I agreed with this as it always touched my heart how Charlie coped with his struggles despite how unlikable he was to others. I love the movie adaptation. There was no other perfect cast for Charlie other than Logan Lerman, also Emma Watson as Sam and Ezra Miller's appearance. Also, who was I to critique if the author of the book is also the director of the movie? It's a must read and must watch!!!

Ezra Miller was simply amazing in the movie! I thought they portrayed his dependencies quite good as well. My only real critique of Emma Watson’s performance was her heinous American accent.

Lord of the Rings. All three of them. I read the books as a kid. And then saw the movies. They fulfilled my imagination.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind starring Kate Winslet and Jim Carrey. Kirsten Dunst and Mark Ruffallo as supporting. It was so heartbreaking, especially Kirsten's plot. Ugh. I've watched this too many times, and the feeling is the same.

I have two favorites, based on my mood. The first is Pride and Prejudice, with Kiera Knightley. Makes me cry every time!
The second is the Die Hard movies!!! I love the action, the one-liners, and Bruce Willis. I can watch Die Hard every day.

My favorite movie has to be Skate Kitchen, it's a beautiful coming of age movie focused on the friendship between teen girls. It's beautiful and has a majestic soundtrack.
