I was pretty much speechless after I saw this movie = not necessarily in the blown away sense, but in the I really need to reflect sense. As you'll see in this list, I enjoy Sofia Coppola's directing skills and her integration of imagery, lessening of dialogue, and music when presenting a story. This story is extremely haunting and captivating and still leaves me pondering everytime I see it.

Marie Antoinette (2006)

Description

Another Sofia Coppola movie that I enjoy immensely. Again, the music and imagery blew my mind. Not only that, but the film truly captures the young Marie Antoinette (this film is based on a biographical book).

Description

This film follows a teenage girl through various foster homes following the arrest of her mother who she was very close to. The theme of searching, constantly seeking and the contrasting worlds through which Astrid wanders are intriguing and thought-provoking. The exploration of the mother-daughter relationship is also shown in both unique and familiar forms lending more thought on a confusing relationship to begin with.

Description

This film is probably my least favorite of Wes Anderson movies but it's still one that I enjoy immensely. All the characters are amusing and unique, and together, this all-star cast creates a terrificly detached family.

Almost Famous DVD

Description

Unquestionably my third favorite film of all time. Not only does it have the all time music scene of any film (Tiny Dancer sing-a-long), but also it's the film that got me to my degree in journalism.

The Darjeeling Limited

4 people recommended this item

Description

"I want us to be completely open and say yes to everything, even if it's shocking and painful." This is just the type of sharp witted dark comedy you can expect from Wes Andesoon and his newest film. Not to mention, it stars Adrian Brody and the second good movie he's ever been in (the first being The Pianist). It also stars Owen Wilson, pre suicide attempt and, the always amazing, Jason Schwartzman.

This is my favorite Wes Anderson movie. I even have a favorite part - the rainbow seahorse. I want one of my own. No joke, someone buy me one.

One of the few movies I've seen that actually does the book justice. It's a breathtakingly beautiful film, with a heartbreaking story. it's well worthy of all the praise.

Waking Life

Description

I was introduced to this movie by a friend and it was a terrific film to see. Pondering and wandering through life's many meanings is no easy task, let alone animating it all. However, this movie got it, and they got me.
