DOCTOR DOLITTLE - Not the crap Eddie Murphy version of the movie with the actual talking animals, but the original Rex Harrison version that came out in the 60's. When it first came out, I think it was a huge bomb. You know, one of the examples of how Hollywood was losing touch with the people in the late 60's just before EASY RIDER helped revolutionize the indusry. But when you're a little boy who doesn't know the behind the scene stories, and you see the movie for the movie, you see that it's actually a very charming and highly imaginative kids movie. 3. THE ADVENTURES OF BARON MUNCHAUSEN - I have only three words to decribe this movie. Pure, uncompromising imagination. This was another movie that people couldn't see the movie for the movie. They focused on the behind the scenes stories coming out of it. I keep waiting for The Criterion Collection to issue out a packed to the gills DVD of it to show the world what a truly magical movie it is. 2. LAST NIGHT - This is one of the most amazing sci-fi movies I've ever seen. And it's Canadian to boot. The movie covers the last six hours of human existence before the entire world evaporates. The film follows a loner determined to face the end by himself and the various people connected to him. It's the complete antithesis of every disaster movie you've ever seen, and I loved every minute of it. And the ending, which is edited to Pete Seeger's "Guantanamara" is one of the most transcendent and beautiful endings I've ever seen. 1. AUNTIE MAME - This is an old movie from the late 50's starring Rosalind Russell about a boy who goes to live with his eccentric aunt in New York and the relationship they have over the years. I saw it when I was a little kid, and it was that flick that opened my eyes to classic Hollywood movies. This, as well as AMADEUS, BACK TO THE FUTURE 3 and CLERKS were the four films that made me want to be a filmmaker.

Quote:Originally posted by kaneman: ["GO" - It's a fun comedy movie about drugs and raves] Sixstring, call me crazy(I was also drunk while viewing this beauty), but isn't this movie about as noncomedic(?) as a movie can get? Maybe, I drank way too much when I saw this, because I would characterize this as a Heavy drama. But again I was drinking.

It will simply send you into a spiral of panic. Believe me. Don't make faces.

Quote:Originally posted by BornToFly: 4. Open Range- The only good western to come out since Tombstone and the only great one since Unforgiven. It did halfway decent box office so obviously some people saw it, but not anyone I've ever met. It's slow burn, but oh how it pays off! 5. The Proposition- An Australian/UK co-production. From a script by Nick Cave, you can almost smell the disgust, blood, sweat and hardship out in Australia's colonial outback. It's brutal, almost to a fault, but it all serves a purpose. Then there's the storyline..won't spoil it for anyone.
