Good stuffs 1 month ago
  • 80-81: Im Juli(2000) and Across The Universe(2007) for one more time (Across the Universe must be the 5th, Im Juli must be the 3rd time)
  • 82- Fame(1980): What a fun school! I always liked it’s song which has lyrics like “Faame, I’m gonna live foreveeer, I’m gonna learn how to fly, HIGH…”
  • 83- Koktebel(2003): Was one of the nicest foreign also road movie I’ve seen recently! It’s a Russian one and the story is about a boy and a father who’s escaping to the city Koktebel which is located in Crimea/Ukraine. (This is where my mother’s origin is from.) So I watched it carefully!
  • 84- Almost Famous(2000): Was hillarious + some parts were touching.


Pedro Almodóvar 1 month ago

is becoming one of my favorite director since

  • 77- Todo sobre mi madre (1999) aka All About My Mother
  • 78- Hable con Ella (2002) aka Talk to Her
  • 79- Mujeres al borde de un ataque de nervios (1988) aka Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown

Especially the first two were simply Masterpieces. And I simply fell in love.

Don’t waste a minute, go watch! (Especially if you like foreign movies)



Miyazaki 1 month ago
  • 75 – Spirited Away
  • 76 – Howl’s Moving Castle

W-O-N-D-E-R-F-U-L! I don’t think that there’s any other word to say, I luvvvvvv them.



Masterpieces 1 month ago
  • 70 – The Godfather(1972): I watched this movie with my brother and to be honest if he didn’t make some explains there would be details that could be easily missed! But amazing though…
  • 71 – Jules and Jim(1962): Great movie of a perfect love triangle! Made me want to watch all the French new wave movies that were made! <3
  • 72 – The unbearable lightness of being (1988): Was wonderful !!! I’m gonna read the novel too definitely! <3
  • 73 – 8½ (1963): Watched again but still didn’t really fall in love. But I understood it better this time, I’m gonna watch more films by Federico Fellini and try to understand because they have got smart metaphors though they are annoyingly too much!
  • 74 – Dancer in the Dark (2000): This is not so old, but I think this is a masterpiece too, at least means a lot to me. I cried like hell at the end as I always do.

Emir Kusturica rules !! 3 months ago

There are still much to watch from his great work!
