Letterboxd — Your life in film

This movie changed my world. Well, at least until that typical 4 hour post-coital movie buzz wore off. But for those 4 hours, maaaan, I was tripping. That one continuous shot in the car is one of the most spectacular camera moves I've ever seen. Also, I can't get enough of Clive Owen, he's just so gritty and uncouth, just the way I like my leading men.

It's my belief that almost every significant life lesson can be learned by watching Ferris Bueller. Sometimes you just need a musical number.

I started this movie and 5 minutes in I wanted to punch something, probably my face. I loathe romantic movies. In fact, I can only stomach them if the lead love interest gets eaten by a zombie. It's this sort of tosh that brainwashes women into being utter saps for all the wrong reasons. There is nothing sexy about suffering for a generation just for one snog in the rain...

The American President is so charming, witty, and smart, it feels like an insult to call it a romantic-comedy despite that being the most apt description. It is filled with Sorkanisms and Sorkinisms—ferociously idealistic acerbic coworkers walk and talk and banter and argue. Much of the dialogue was eventually carried over to Studio 60 and (along with the sets) The West Wing. The humor really punches in the awkward personal moments that arise when dating the "most powerful man in the world" (and if that title is indicative of one’s sexual prowess). This film has always been one of my favorites.

it's a bit cliche to love this movie, but who doesn't? Kate is dazzling, Jim is adorable, Kirsten is a floozy, Mark is a giant dork, and Elijah is creepy to a tee. Gondry is a genius.

Watched this with my girlfriend and started sobbing uncontrollably at the end there. So embarrassing. Such a well crafted film, if the characters were perhaps a little frustrating at times.

Defined a generation. The basketcase, the nerd, the jock, the rebel and the princess.

Have you seen this? Be a lot cooler if you did. Everyone remembers the last day of school and waiting in line for beer and concert tickets.

For all you youngsters, yes this happened.

What year did I first see Oldboy? It's not important, because whatever year it was, whatever else I saw that year, Oldboy was my movie of that year. That wonderful, indeterminate, year-long year.
