Equilibrium was great, although not great enough to be in my top ten...

1) Serenity
2) Blade Runner
3) Star Trek TMP
4) Superman TM
5) Legend
6) Back to the Future movies
7) Star Wars original trillogy
8) Indy's movies
9) Army of Darkness
10) Aliens

They change with the wind, but that's it this week. Honourable mention to Matrix, Mummy Returns, Die Hards, Batman, Spider-man, Desperado, Somewhere In Time, The Road Home (objectivly, the BEST movie ever made), Who Am I, Legend of the Drunken Master, 2002, Abyss, Terminator 1+2, Demolition Man, geeze, I could go on, and on...

Cybersnark:

Yeah, I've seen all the Inuyasha episodes there are. I got impatient and downloaded them all in subbed Japanese :). Unfortunately, Inuyasha, like Firefly, is cut short before its time. Still excellent though. And the Band of Seven episodes are some of my favorite. Also, Swords of an Honorable Ruler is a very good movie. And I agree with you about the epilogue in Inuyasha 2. That was so unnecessary and spoiled the whole kiss that finally happens. Sigh. Oh well. Still a great movie.

P.S. There is zero reference to Naraku, the Shikon Jewel, or anything like that in Swords of an Honorable Ruler. Which really surprised me.

Interesting picks.

I'll take this literally as my "fave" movies and not necessarily "the best films."

1. Moulin Rouge
2. The Goonies
3. Heavenly Creatures
4. Secretary
5. Practical Magic
6. Clue
7. The Princess Bride
8. Wild Things
9. Murder on the Nile
10. Gone With the Wind
11. Love Me If You Dare

I'm no longer sure that any of us is fit to judge a good movie from a bad one! ;)

Equilibrium

YES! I totally forgot about that one. Lead man is Christian Bale, who played Batman. Man, thank you for reminding me!

4. Bill and Ted movies: Hehe. I love these movies. I can't help it. Humor in spades, some sci-fi. Surprisingly good special effects.

EEEE-hehehheeee, YES. Those amuse me.

Also in no particular order...

Devdas (It's a Hindi costume drama. Just stunning all the way through.)

Mystery Science Theater 3000 - The Movie (This still makes me laugh so hard, even though I've seen it 50 million times.)

Last Night (I haven't seen this in years, I have to admit, but I remember loving it so much.)

Princess Mononoke

Donnie Darko

Interview with the Vampire

Monty Python's Life of Brian

Quills

Akira

Hero (such good music.)

when you watch this, keep in mind the special effects are in camera and not produced by a computer!! Fantastic visuals accompanied by Philip Glass' best musical score.

I loved all the 'qatsis. What incredible filming.

and as usual, OT alert: when you have time, take a peek at the photography of Robert Polidari:

http://www.billcharles.com/polidori/robertpolidori_1.htm

Much resonance with the 'qatsis
He works some as an architectural photographer, so some of his stuff is mostly for the gloss, but oh, the underlying social commentary he has such a hard time muffling! He has 3 spectacular books:
Havana (fab pics of a ruined Havana)
Pripyat and the Zones of Exclusion (the Ukraine, Chernoble, nowish)
and a brand new one, pictures of cities, with rabid SC ravings.

Changing things by gettin' all bendy
