![]() | Amelie
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $7.30 I looooooove "Amelie". I caught it by chance in the park at the Telluride Film Festival way back in the day before it hit big. I was bundled up, there were fireflies, and there was Amelie. Perfect.

![]() | Night on Earth - Criterion Collection
Buy new: $35.49 / Used from: $27.95 Jim Jarmusch's film that is an ensemble piece with a very simple premise: take one moment in time and visit five cab rides that are happening in different parts of the world. Of course some of cab rides are better than others but overall this is a great movie.
|
![]() | 2046
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $3.74 A follow up to "In the Mood for Love", more futuristic. It is different than "In the Mood for Love" in a lot of ways but still compelling and with Wong Kar-Wai you can't go wrong.
|
![]() | In the Mood for Love - Criterion Collection
Buy new: $32.49 / Used from: $20.99 This is Wong Kar-Wai, a man with a very distinct vision in his movies. I also love the music and the dresses she wears in this film.
|
![]() | Criterion Collection Director Series - Jean-Luc Godard (Band Of Outsiders / Contempt / Breathless) - Amazon.com Exclusive
Jean-Luc Godard. My favorite Godard movie is Bande a part (Band of Outsiders), largely in part because I adore Anna Karina. Not to mention the dance and a run through the Louve.
|
![]() | The Audrey Hepburn DVD Collection (Breakfast at Tiffany's / Sabrina / Roman Holiday / Funny Face / Paris When It Sizzles)
Buy new: $30.99 / Used from: $20.00 Audrey Heburn was amazing, no doubt about it. She has a look and a style that is all her own. This collection has it all including my favorites, Roman Holiday and Breakfast at Tiffany's.
|
![]() | The Philadelphia Story (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Buy used from: $3.49 My favorite classic movie with all my favorite actors of the past. My first crush was on Cary Grant and I adored the very spunky Katharine Heburn. The old Hollywood movies were a tad simplistic in their story plots but there are always some gem of dialogue in them as well.
|
![]() | Harold and Maude
Buy new: $14.98 / Used from: $8.48 My favorite movie ever.From the opening scene, the soundtrack is perfect, you watch as Harold prepares and then hangs himself. This is one of several brilliant scenes where he fakes his own suicides desperately trying to get the attention of his rich mother. Enter Maude, an eccentric old woman he meets at a funeral. It's a love story. A love story with life.
|
![]() | American Movie
Buy new: $17.49 / Used from: $6.98 A documentary about a guy making a horror film, COven, or is it C-oven? Both guys in this film, Mike and Mark, are such characters that you swear they must be made up Hollywood characters but they aren't and you just can't help but love them. SOme VERY funny scenes!
|
![]() | High Fidelity
Buy used from: $1.70 This is the first film that I ever noticed Jack Black and fell in love with the guy. Of course you have Cusack who is a one of those guys you just can't help but adore. The film is about love and music, two things that breath life into everything. Taken from the book by Nick Hornby and directed by Stephen Frears so really with all these brilliant minds on one project, how can you go wrong?
|
![]() | The Virgin Suicides ( Sofia Coppola's the Virgin Suicides ) ( The Lisbon Sisters ) [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.2 Import - Netherlands ]
Buy used from: $18.99 First time I was ever introduced to Sofia Coppola. A movie that flew under the radar for the most part but for some reason I fell in love with it. As always with Sofia Coppola's movies there is a fantastic soundtrack.
|
![]() | American Beauty (1999) / The Virgin Suicides (1999) (Double Feature)
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $3.17 This was such a gorgeous movie with a human touch to it that for days after I was still thinking about it.
|
![]() | My Life to Live
Buy used from: $11.88 Another Godard film that I adore. Anna Karina again, is just lovely.
|
![]() | Martin Scorsese presents Luis Bunuel's masterpiece ~ Belle de Jour ~ (English and French soundtracks) [Import](All-region)
Buy used from: $6.46 Some similar threads as in Godard's "Vivre Sa Vie" ("My Life to Live"). Exploring a woman and her sexuality can be a delicate thing, this movie doesn't flinch. As you would expect, Catherine Deneuve is divine in this movie.
|
![]() | Run Lola Run
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $3.94 I still can't get that damn hunter song out of my head!
|
![]() | Brick
Buy new: $4.99 / Used from: $2.63 A movie that was overlooked by many but for me I loved it. A modern film noir with witty dialogue. I don't think any older generations would like this in the least; it appeals much more to younger generations. I think of it like a mix of a film noir, with a dash of Lynch. Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays his part to perfection.
|
![]() | Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind [HD DVD]
Buy used from: $3.80 I simply love this movie. Everything about it. And I'm not a fan of Jim Carrey so I was completely caught off guard when I watched it and fell in love. If you haven't seen it, do.
|
![]() | Lost in Translation [HD DVD]
Buy used from: $2.29 Antoher great movie from Sofia Coppola. I think this movie speaks to women more than men. If you ever have that feeling of being deeply lost and disconnected from your life this movie speaks to the heart of that. It is a quiet movie for the most part and is has three great characters- Bill Murray (played pitch perfect), Scarlett Johansson (beauty and brains), and the bright exotic city of Tokyo.
|
![]() | Baraka
Buy used from: $14.12 Not known by many. No words. Just a beautiful global soundtrack by Phillip Glass and spectacular images from 24 countries. Many themes with the images that speak to life. I read someone saying it was alot of hype for a screensaver but I think it has so much more depth than that. Very much like the movies, "Koyaanisqatsi" and "Powaqqatsi".
|
![]() | Koyaanisqatsi / Powaqqatsi (2 Pack)
Buy new: $19.49 / Used from: $16.00 See what I said about "Baraka".
|
![]() | Double Indemnity (Universal Legacy Series)
Buy new: $22.49 / Used from: $14.21 Personally my favorite film noir. YOu have everything a great film noir needs, Barbara Stanwyck as the femme fatale and Fred MacMurray as the anti-hero. The look of this film is clearly film noir as well. Some great cinematic moments.
|
![]() | Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (Superbit Collection)
Buy used from: $1.97 Director Ang Lee is truly gifted. I loved his Jane Austen film, "Sense and Sensibility" , and then saw this and thought how amazing he was. This movie has a wonderful plot but it is also just beautifully shot.
|
![]() | Memento (Widescreen Two-Disc Limited Edition)
Buy used from: $4.01 A very interesting movie but you really have to pay attention. I actually had to see the film a number of times to fully get it. Guy Pearce is amazing in this and the talented director, Christopher Nolan, is now very well known for directing Batman-Dark Knight.
|
![]() | Fight Club (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)
Buy new: $24.99 / Used from: $7.00 This is a great film, an even greater book. Some of the best lines ever!
|
![]() | The Lives of Others
Buy new: $14.94 / Used from: $4.06 One of the best foreign films ever.
|
![]() | The Coen Brothers Movie Collection (Fargo / Miller's Crossing / Barton Fink / Raising Arizona / Blood Simple)
Buy new: $27.99 / Used from: $22.39 The Coen Brothers are great directors, I would say legends. Raising Arizona was the first movie I saw of theirs a loooong time ago but you understand after now watching many of their movies that their style is very unique.
|
![]() | The Royal Tenenbaums (The Criterion Collection)
Buy new: $17.49 / Used from: $5.95 A modern classic (yes, wrap your head around that one).
|
![]() | Across the Universe (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Buy used from: $3.31 I think this appeals to women more than men. A love story with, of course, an awesome soundtrack based on Beatles songs. My favorite thing about this movie is a scene somewhere in the middle. A trip- a creative whimsical vision.
|
![]() | Everything Is Illuminated
Buy new: $15.49 / Used from: $6.25 Another movie that got overlooked but that I loved.
|
![]() | Kill Bill - Volumes 1 & 2 [Blu-ray] (Amazon.com Exclusive)
Buy used from: $34.38 Of course Quentin Tarantino needs to be recognized as the fantastic director he is.
|
![]() | The New World - The Extended Cut (+ Digital Copy)
Buy new: $19.99 / Used from: $9.49 This didn't get great reviews and I can understand why to a certain degree. But why I love this film is because it is directed by Terrence Malick and has some of the MOST beautiful shots captured on film. THe cinematography is breathtaking in this film. That alone is worth watching it.
|
![]() | Oldboy (Three-Disc Ultimate Collector's Edition)
Buy used from: $35.00 A very gritty movie but really good. If violence makes it squeamish, or you don't like subtitles, this movie is not for you.
|
![]() | A Tale of Two Sisters (Deluxe Edition)
Buy used from: $7.24 To make this a well rounded list I should have a least one horror movie on here so I'm picking another Korean foreign film that seriously creeped me out, but then again that is not really hard to do.
|
![]() | Antonia's Line
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $5.57 A great foreign film. I like movies that explore life. Corny, I know.
|
![]() | Donnie Darko - The Director's Cut (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Buy new: $16.49 / Used from: $5.15 I had a fear of bunnies after this movie but sooo worth it.
|
![]() | The Notebook (New Line Platinum Series)
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $3.10 Yeah, I'm a romantic. It's a craptastic movie. What's more to say?
|
![]() | Jesus' Son
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $7.13 Billy Crudup's breakout role, as well as Jack Black who I dearly loved when I saw this film.
|
![]() | Lars and the Real Girl
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $1.98 This movie was so expectantly sweet and funny without being over the top. I loved it and highly recommend it.
