One film you love and will love for the rest of your life? just one film, no cheating, treat it like a marriage!

The Big Lebowski, the only film i could watch once a week for life.

The Fountain

City Lights.
I had a few mistresses and flings in the past, but I feel like it’s time to settle down.
(yes i know i posted one two months earlier, and she is behind me baby, I promise.)

There will be many passionate affairs (including with most of its siblings) but
Uccellacci e uccellini
understands me completely. What more do you want?

There are many films that have changed the way I see cinema, but if I have to choose…

SPIRITED AWAY :D

I absolutely adore this movie, it changed completely my world since the very first time I saw it. It’s the movie that introduced me into cinema.

Cinema Paradiso

the movie for movie lovers, no?

The Kid BY Chaplin

Stairway to Heaven – a.k.a. A Matter of Life and Death by Powell and Pressburger

I am marrying Unbearable Lightness of Being because I can then live in a ménage à trois with Juliette Binoche and Lena Olin – just like Daniel Day-Lewis. Daniel needs to take a hike…

I’m a movie whore, I love too many to pick one and marry it. Though I think Blade Runner will always have a truely special place in my heart. Hope the others don’t get jealous.

Trainspotting!, I will never stop loving that movie!

There are so many amazing films I absolutely love right now, and have for a long time. But one film that I know I will love forever and wouldn’t even have to think twice about marrying… – Home Alone.

I don’t care if its due to nostalgia, I’m standing by it.

… if not than Hiroshima, Mon Amour. That one is definitely not based on nostalgia.

I just hope everyone who names a film is pretty old. I’d hate to think that people’s tastes no longer grow as the do. If you really love great cinema you will probably be seeking out films each year that may push whatever film you name here out of your top 10, 20 or even hundred. Love of art shouldn’t be like a marriage, it should be conditional and not devotional.

“King Kong” (1933).

From the first time seeing it on TV at age 12 to running it on DVD and film at age 50….38 years and the magic is still there.

That film, more than any other imaginative film I have ever seen, has The Mystery.
The notion, now so hard to come by today, that there are strange, faraway places where anything can happen.
Skull Island is the ultimate dark, scary and yet exciting place, in glorious B/W with the Dore-inspired glass paintings.
A jungle of the mind. A place that comes back in your dreams.
And that’s before we even get to the big ape and Willis Harold O’Brien’s work.
You can’t buy The Mystery with tens of millions. It happened in “Kong” and a few other films. Then, like Kong, it died.

“The Passion of Joan of Arc”
A print should be left on Earth, cued up and ready to go in a good 35mm theatre, if we ever have to relocate. Film-making stripped to its emotional bones, with a message that will never be old.
If Falconetti’s eyes don’t do it, nothing will.

Just my opinions, of course..;-)

High Plains Drifter

Marriage is about spending time together, so mine would have to be The Shining. It and I have been together so much. But if I wanted a trophy wife, La Dolce Vita.

L’Atalante

Its hard to choose between Harold and Maude and The Breakfast Club but fine…ill go for The Breakfast Club,the awesomest teen flick ever!

“Withnail and I”

Leon

Seven Samurai. There is no other film for me.

Le fabuleux déstin d’Amélie Poulain

Blue Velvet

Le salaire de la peur

gotta go wit my gut :

The Godfather Part II

Milo and Otis.

Think about it… when you’re senile and going blind and deaf, suffering from dementia or some other chronic ailment would you really have the patience for some multilayered drama with all that loud noise?

The Third Man
