I wonder if anyone was paying attention when the very dramatic movie Monster came out late last year/early this year. That movie had such an impact on me, which was based on a true story, I was feeling very shakey inside right after watching for the very first time. It was a VERY amazing movie. It is #1 on my favorite movies list. Charlize Therone gave an excellent performance, but so did Christina Ricci who's performance was a bit overlooked because everyone's eyes were on the shocking look and performance of Charlize. The DVD comes out June 1 in case anyone did miss it.
Another excellent movie was Mystic River. Again, very powerful performances but with a big cast. This was another movie that left a big impact on me. Though not as big of an impact as Monster due to the fact that Monster REALLY happend! It gets pretty close and everything in this movie is very moving. Very strong drama. And you will be blown away by Sean Penn and Tim Robbins. It lands at #2 on my favorite movies list. And if you missed this one too it will soon be released on DVD June 8.
I hope anyone who considers themselves real movie fans will check the above mentioned movies.
By the way, ROTK lands at #3 on my list if anyone is wondering about that. But I also wish you would have included Kill Bill Vol. 1 and 2 in your poll. The Kill Bill movies and The Last Samurai are somewhere near the top of my list.
Now I know there are many other great films to note, but that will do for now...
cheers,
Twisted Chains
