Yay! Me too! I've seen it a half a dozen times at least, and love it each time.

(Noting the colour of Kate Winslet's hair was the key.)

If you liked this, i recommend:

Magnolia & Punch Drunk Love

Jim Carrey is much under-rated as a 'serious' actor: i think his performance as Andy Kaufmann in 'Man On The Moon' is a tour-de-force.

Wouldn't say 'Eternal' was anywhere near my favourite ever, but i would put 'Magnolia' close.


Hooray for "Eternal Sunshine"! !!

P.S. for Kosmonaut- I did not like Punch Drunk Love too much...I found it a little too creepy, with the whole phone sex thing......but I have not seen Magnolia, I will have to check it out.

P.S. for everyone - You should see "The Fountain", very original movie. It was just in theatres a bit ago, you might have to wait for video.

My Longest running favorites have to be, "Annie," "Summer Rental," "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" and "PeeWee's Big Adventure." I have been watching these movies since I was REALLY little and I still watch them now. However I do have a LOOOOOONG list of movies that I love but it would take FOREVER to list them all.

Has anyone here seen Amelie? I found it ... 'fun' is probably the best word for it.

It's a great film. Had I not been in such a rotten mood when I watched it, it might have gone on my list of favorites. As it is, I still adored it, which says something.

My favorite movie of this year: Running Scared with Paul Walker, that just owned from top to bottom.

As far as an absolute favorite of all time sorry, can't to it because there's too many dimensions and angles.

Some stuff I'd rank as just way up there and really good IMO:

4 Brothers
Belly
The Rock (not the wrestler, the Sean Connery and Nicholas Cage movie)
24 Hours In London
Salton Sea
Training Day
Runaway Jury
X-Men 2
Ocean's Eleven
The Italian Job
Batman Begins
Chronicles of Riddick
Swordfish
Dark City
13th Floor
Bladerunner
The Dark Crystal
Event Horizon
Gladiator
Road to Perdition
American History X
Mystic River
Bourne Identity & Supremacy

Really well-made film. While I kind of hated some things about it (the seriously brutal and bloody violence and the constant threat of kids getting injured, for example), I have respect for it because it won me over despite making me cringe so much. The camerawork, the editing, the mood, the sets, etc. were all really awesome. Great acting, too, which was surprising given it starred Paul Walker--that was the performance of his career! What I really liked about "Running Scared," though, was that it was the closest anyone had come to making a movie of my beloved "Max Payne" games.

All truly great films, an inch away from getting on my own favorites list.

That movie is really great!! !

I was in paris for the second time a few years back, and I pretty much visited the places where a lot of those scenes where filmed....the first one was by accident....I was walking through the park where she was laying clues for the guy she was taking pictures from, and I was thinking to myself, "I have seen this before, in a movie".

Completely unrelated, they are making a new transformers movie coming out in july....I remember when I was 6, and my dad took me to see Transformers the Movie (the awesome animated one with Galvatron, Ultra-Magnus, and Unicron) and I remember crying when Optimus Prime died. :cry: :cry:

For me it has to be LOTR. I love trilogies, and I had read Lord of the Rings as a teenager, but I didn't remember a lot about it before I saw the movies. Now I'm a LOTR semi-geek. I've got the DVDs (special extended version, naturally), AND the BBC radio version. I've even played the trading card game, although I don't play too often.
