Posted my 26th pick Raging Bull my next movie takes place in Philadelphia around the bicentennial.

I need to watch that movie again, it's been too long. I have a feeling it will be as pleasent a surprise as watching the last emperor again after 15 years.

My 26th pick has already been mentioned twice before. An animated master piece.


A story not often told in war movies, that what happens with those left behind at home, a heart-warming and heart-breaking movie at the same time. Grave of the fireflies has personal relevance too, my grandmother lost her first child from malnutrition during the 2nd world war. Having learned this at a very young age I never really understood what it must have been like for her until I saw this movie.

My next movie is a completely different story about children growing up. A quirky tale told from a children's point of view.

i have no idea :S

my next movie at number 23

25. Moonrise kingdom, 2012, Wes Anderson

The innocence and imagination of childhood captured on film. It feels like a Roald Dahl story and after Fantastic Mr Fox, Wes Anderson demonstrates he can write a perfect tale himself. Moonrise kingdom shows that stories specifically written for the screen work better then book adaptations. I still like Charlie and the chocolate factory, James and the giant Peach and Mathilda, yet Moonrise kingdom has that extra movie magic.
Like Roald Dahl's stories adults stay in the background, portrayed as seen through the eyes of a child. The filming is brilliantly tailored to make it look like a 2D simplified representation of the world, most shots are at a 90 degree angle and scroll along almost like a comic book strip. I love all the performances, the sets, the pacing, the dialogue and above all how it makes me remember all the great things from childhood.

My next movie is set in the 1930's and is well known for it's multi platinum selling sountrack.

I'm guessing its O Brother, Where Art Thou?

Posted my #25th pick which is Rocky next on my list is a movie that is based on a book written by Lothar-Günther Buchheim.

OK, top 25!

My #25 is The Seventh Seal,  a stark, uncompromising movie about God, death, faith, and faithlessness. Although it released in 1957, it doesn't really belong to that year; it barely belongs to the decade. Director Ingmar Bergman made The Seventh Seal as one might make a silent movie from the 1920s. Images are what makes the movie so brilliant: thick, heavy crosses; the scuplted, almost statuesque visage of Max Von Sydow; the immortal picture of Death playing chess. A unique masterpiece.
