Here’s my list:
1. Brokeback Mountain (2005) – The only movie I have ever seen in my life back-to-back. I literally watched it again after finishing the movie.
2. Junebug (2005) – The movie that people will go back to 20 years from now to trace how Amy Adams became a bone fide star. She stole every scene she was in, as in ALL SCENES. The masturbation scene is one of the saddest and most poignant scenes I have ever seen.
3. Requiem for a Dream (2000) – An all-out depressing movie. Julia Roberts stole Ellen Burstyn’s Oscar
4. In the Bedroom (2001) – Sissy Spacek (three way tie with Heath Ledger and Amy Adams) gave the performance of the decade in my opinion. As much as I love Meryl Streep, I don’t think she has reached the depth and natural acting that Spacek has shown in this movie.
5. Gosford Park (2001) – Unexpectedly engaging and compelling. Helen Mirren’s “I am the perfect servant…” monologue is unforgettable. Brilliant dialogue!
6. Atonement (2007) – The editing and screenplay was brilliant. I don’t remember being technically impressed and emotionally compelled at the same time.
7. In Search of a Midnight Kiss (2008) – Crass and romantic at the same time.
8. United 93 (2006) – The most haunting ending I have ever seen, made me cry. Brilliant!!!!
9. The Departed (2006) – I don’t remember seeing a movie recently where the entire audience gave a collective grasp.
10. Lars and the Real Girl (2007) – What a brilliant screenplay. The scene with the doll will remain as one of the most adorable and romantic scenes ever. Ryan Gosling was phenomenal
Honorable Mention:
Traffic (2000)
Stardust (2007) – I just love Michelle Pfeiffer!
Before Sunset (2004)
Mystic River (2003)
Memento (2000)
Overall, I think I slightly prefer Tasoulla’s list (mainly because of the Junebug and Before Sunset love). Even though I would not put Love Actually in my top 100, I like the movie as well. The only one that I absolutely did not like was My Big Fat Greek Wedding, I did not get that film! Even for its genre, the movie is not good! But I agree with her comments on Eternal Sunshine, as much as I love that movie, there were some scenes that I did not like. It’s a weird movie, I love it, but I wouldn’t put it in my top 50.
