Posted my 35th pick Gran Torino. My next movie involves a kidnapping that goes horribly wrong.



34. Big fish, 2003, Tim Burton

Tim Burton's finest. While I love most of Burton's work, his movies often feel a bit drawn out. He's best at making characters for short stories, many of his movies would be better at between 45 and 60 minutes run time. Big fish is basically a collection of short stories through which we get to know the main character. This works perfectly. Each story is beautifully made with wonderful characters which all tie together with the emotional discovery of a dying father's son. I love the message how loved ones will live on through stories.

My #34, as guessed by pezus, is Spirited Away. This is, in my mind, the best movie by genius director Hayao Miyazaki, who also gave us greats like Princess Mononoke and Howl's Moving Castle. The animation is beautiful, the story is touching, and the characters endearing. It's difficult not to become enraptured with the world Miyazaki has created in Spirited Away. His imagination and creativity are on full display here. If it wasn't for another movie in my top 20, this would be the best animated movie ever made.



Posted my 34th pick which is Fargo next on my list is my favorite Dreamworks computer animated movie.



my next movie is called Suspiria

33. There will be blood, 2007, Paul Thimas Anderson

Greed, power, religion, image, pride, competition, paranoia, projection and above all ambition define this movie, loosely based on the 1927 novel Oil! and partly inspired by the 1948 movie Treasure of the Sierra Madre.

The story starts in 1898 just before the discovery of oil in the western US. Daniel Plainview, a gold mine prospector finds oil instead of gold. He sees the opportunity and uses any method he can use to become the biggest oilman in the country, including adopting a dead workers son to build his image as a family man. His biggest adversary turns out to be Eli, a self made pastor who is determined to build his own church within the oil boom.

The movie is beautifully made and illustrates the time period very well, however it is the conversations and especially the confrontations between Daniel and Eli that set the movie apart. The final scenes are truly haunting.

Best movie of 2007. I was so disappointed when it lost at the Oscars. But at least Day-Lewis won. Probably his second best performance ever -- just brilliant. One of the greatest living actors.
