23. Woody Allen’s Scoop, with Scarlet Johannsen as a rookie journalist trying to get the scoop on supposed-serial-killer and House-of-Lords-member Hugh Jackman.

24. Casanova, great recreation of 18th century Venice, where anyone could be anyone else by simply introducing themselves by a false name and claiming a castle as their own. Heath Ledger plays up Casanova’s mischievous side, but fails to embody the philosopher that Casanova claims to be.

25. The Lives of Others—wow, what a movie! It hits you like a speeding truck. It’s 1984 and the East German Secret Police, the Stasi, are secretly monitoring anyone and everyone, recording phone conversations, amassing secret files on people… The story follows the life and intrigues surrounding an idealistic East German playwright. Horrible and inspiring. Great drama. Superb acting. Fascinating history.

15. Thank You for Smoking, not a single cigarette is smoked in the whole film. Sex, drinking, kidnapping, bribery… but not one cigarette.

16. Ratatouille, Pixar’s clever and brilliantly animated new movie.

17. Der Untergang, Swiss actor Bruno Ganz portays a waning Hitler holed up in an underground bunker during the final days of WWII. Chilling scene in which Magda Göbbels dopes up her six children and poisons them by cracking cyanide capules in their sleeping mouths.

18. Roman Holiday starring Audrey Hepburn, as princess of a country that shall remain nameless, and Gregory Peck, as an American journalist. Filmed entirely on location in Rome, this was Hepburn’s first movie – for which she got an Academy Award. The story isn’t deep or new, but the stars have great chemistry and there are many brilliant visual gags that are a throwback to silent films: plainclothed agents in a Keystone Cop-like chase, Hepburn meandering around town on happy drugs, Peck dumping Hepburn onto a chaise. Very good movie, funny and well-directed.

8. The Big Sleep

CLASSIC 1945/6 film noir, doesn’t get any more noir than this. Faulker co-wrote the screenplay, and it shows. What flowery language, and sharp wit! Bogart was great as a private detective, and Bacall wasn’t bad as Wealthy Wild Daughter #2. I love Bogie’s transformation into “undercover” as a bookish dweeb, by flipping up the brim of his hat and putting on spectacles. And the cutaway from his witty seduction of the sexy librarian-type who takes off her glasses and unpins her hair and pulls down the shades of the bookstore.. Car chases, gamblers, crippled gazillionaires, gunfire, locked drawers, secret cameras… and brilliant dialogue. Loved it all! But I have no idea what the plot was.

9. Frank Miller’s 300

Mmm. Beefcake and eight-packs. Heaps of dead Persians. Graphic novel blood splatters. It looks EXACTLY like the book, pretty much page by page, pane by pane. Extraordinary, violent, merciless, and fascist. The battle scenes in this movie are different from any I’ve seen before—the most violent things happen when the action freezes. I LOVE the blood splattering, and also the humorous dialogues. Thanks be to you Frank Miller!

10. The Apartment

It’s Billy Wilder’s. But is it a comedy? The story is pretty sad, for both Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine. I guess it all works out in the end, but it’s a pretty morbid journey. Attempted suicides on Christmas Eve. Secretaries and elevator operators treated as meat. One black man shines a shoe, another empties the office trash. Womanizing, philandering, alcoholic, and abusive yes-men. And you thought office buildings full of cubicles were sad, try aisles and aisles of office drones at desks, typing on typewriters, with no partitions at all! What hell!
