egh, so here goes. i’m not much of a movie buff, since i don’t go to cinemas that much, and the only time i watched a movie twice was Inception. no theory guessing here, but i postively think Cal is still stuck in limbo. as in, up to the point he went to in limbo with Ariadne was real, but he never really got out of that. Or did he?
but i do have a penchant for awesome movies, which somehow differs greatly from the vast collection of some other people. so i have taken the liberty to collect and scourge movies from internet for my own viewing pleasure, and would only mention them only to very few people. i think i only know about five of them. sad, isn’t it?
at any rate, here are the movies i think everyone should watch, if they somehow are not content with the idea that movies are just for relaxing times. entertaining, yes, but it has to be cleverly done. neatly edited. memorable dialogues and characters. interesting themes. witty.
i don’t know how i should go about this list, so yeah, bear with me. no reviews, because i’m too lazy to type and think. click on the links.

I couldn't agree more with you for giving three (!!!) for Pan's Labyrinth though I cant say the same for Children of Men.You have exquisite taste in motion picture.

pan's labyrinth is somewhat one of the best movies i've seen. what's wrong with children of men? i thought the car chase and the running away to that sewer scene was awesome. the start was kinda shaky but it was all retributed in the end. long shots. i like Needle in the Hay btw. Elliot Smith is (was) a great songwriter. zaim, sila abaikan kalau tak minat.

Yes, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind memang terbaik.

There's some hole in the plot of Children of Men. I might have missed it, but i think the real reason for the infertility was never properly explained. My favorite scene was right at the beginning, when the coffee shop was blown and we can see the extremely terrified look on the hero's face.So your taste in music is as awesome as your movies'. I really like your blog, gonna keep reading it. 🙂

abe sapien > there's more to come. haven't gotten round to R-Z. I forgot to add Amelie. perhaps maybe Cloverfield.needle in the hay > the premise was one of infertility, but yeah but it was never quite explained. but that's not quite the point of the movie. i could be food consumption/ low sperm count or whatever. uh, i like when the baby started to cry and everyone simply stopped shooting and stared in awe. epic. oh, and thanks.syazana > aku suka gila weh Lost in Translation. sangat relevant (mungkin).OFOTCN cam tak tengok lagi. nanti aku usha. buku un tak bace lagi. sangat clueless.boxofjuice > yeh somehow aku macam selalu re-use certain phrases macam \”saying one thing and calling it another\” beberapa kali masa debate. lunch scene. uh burn after reading is funny. it's not overly funny. just tragically funny. absurd characters, perhaps. atau bongok kalau mahu lebih tepat.alice of p> eternal sunshine is just superb. buat kau rasa nak naik train kadang kadang (tapi bukan line ktm ugh).
