Martyrs looks interesting.

Of course like always, people who find spiritual enlightenment from pain and suffering are always portrayed as evil in motive. Can't blame them, it's an interesting angle, lol. But it would be nice to see something different.

Any zombie fans? I think my favorite is 28 days later, and 28 weeks later for the #1 spot. But I also like the spoofs like Shaun of the Dead, and Zombie Land. Both are hilarious, if you like zombie flicks. And yes.... of course I am a big Walking Dead fan. World war Z was good but some what disappointing, and I never did veiw I am legend as a zombie flick.

1. Braveheart

2. Return of the King

3. Fargo

4. Secret of Kells

5. Blade Runner

Song of the Sea and Secret of Kells are about tied for favorite animated [though Kells might lead by an inch].

Can't stress enough how great these two films are and how much of a storytelling genius Tomm Moore is. Both should have won Oscars.

Here are the trailers:

Still Casablanca. Check it out if you haven't seen it already. ☆☆☆☆☆ and one more for good measure. ☆
It took me 2 viewings to really get into it. There'S a lot to be said about knowing the ending that adds a whole lot to it's magic.
Bogart at his very best. Every character brilliantly cast.

2001: A Space Odyssey
The Godfather
The Graduate
Citizen Kane
The Apartment

A Man For All Seasons
A Few Good Men
United 93
Full Metal Jacket
Unforgiven
Network

1. The Secret of Kells [about the creation of the Book of Kells, the most beautiful decorated manuscript ever]

2. Song of the Sea

I'm pleased at the publicity that Secret of Kells has received in this thread, and in CF Singles in general. That film was a stunning work of art. I've been thoroughly impressed with everything I've seen from Cartoon Saloon, and I'm pleased that others have been introduced to this lovely thing.

As far as Song of the Sea goes, I can't understand how I didn't learn before now that it had been released. I have torrented it, and plan to both watch it and buy it as soon as I can.

I would also recommend Over The Garden Wall for fans of Secret of Kells. It has a slightly different flavour, but has many similarities.

I just finished this, and I think I liked it even better than Secret of Kells. The animation and art, I think might be superiour to Kells, and the climax was nothing less than stunning. 10/10 would watch again.

Now, time for La Belle et la Bête.

I really enjoyed Song of the Sea as well. I haven't seen Secret of Kells yet though.

1. Napoleon Dynamite
2. The Fifth Element
3. Home
4. Forrest Gump
5. Anastasia

It's not a solid top 5, but the first that would come to mind..."favorites" that I have a strong personal connection with:

1. Life of Pi
2. Interview with the Vampire
3. The Lord of the Rings trilogy
4. Braveheart
5. The Last Samurai

Back To The Future Trilogy (I count it as 1)

The Last Samurai (In spite of me disliking Tom Cruse)

Suicide Kings

Weekend at Bernie's (1-2, 2 Was bad, but I enjoy the nostalgia)


I also liked a movie called "At First Sight..." that is rather hard to find 1996 movie that changed names to "Two guys talkin about girls". Its not the best movie and is ridiculous, but IMO is underrated and worth the laughs.




I love many movies though, so the list changes on mood.
