Important Thing: What you should be watching, movie edition!

This is a follow up post to the music post I posted a little while back. This one, will be dealing with film recommendations on different films you might have missed, or just some of my favorites.
Disclaimer: This list is not for everyone, these films are of my personal taste and what I consider "good". I will try to go across different genres to appeal to different tastes.

-Children Of Men: A film disgustingly unappreciated at the 2005 Oscars, Children Of Men shows Alfonso Cuaron's gritty, beautiful, dark, detailed, and grim look of the future when women infertile. This movie is very intense and not for the faint of heart but definitely worth a look. It is on my top five films ever made. Ever.

-The Darjeeling Limited: Wes Anderson is one of my favorite directors and here, his cinematography, dialogue, and the way he captures family relations really shine. A quirky, touching, funny, poignant, and overall well executed film simply about three brothers on a train in India.

-Before Sunrise/Before Sunset: A film and it's sequel both directed by Richard Linklater focus on the simple relationship between Jesse and Celine as they are captivated by one night in Vienna and reconnect seven years later in the sequel. These films are for the more romantic and dialogue-driven audience and are not for everyone.

-Moon: Playing in select cities and some other venues, Moon is a building, character driven science fiction/drama featuring Sam Rockwell in a practically one man show as he harvests an energy source alone on the moon for 3 years, and at two weeks before his term is over, he kind of loses his shit.

-BladeRunner: A slow, noir through back, science fiction, detective story, which is one of, or possibly my favorite film. Very loosely based on the short story Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (hint hint hint stop asking me about my blog title).

-Special: An independent film about a man, after being a guinea pig for medication, believes he has superpowers. A superbly acted, funny, sad, exciting film showing the fragility of the human mind, body, and soul.

-Adaptation: A Charlie Kaufman written, Spike Jonze directed, Nicolas Cage and Meryl Streep starring, movie which is part adaptation of a Susan Orlean book, part auto-biographical writing process of Charlie Kaufman adapting the Susan Orlean book into a movie entitled Adaptation, and part Hollywood satire on today's cinema. Lost? Just watch the movie.

There shall be further posts such as these in the future and I do hope you check out at least some of the movies on this list.

Thanks for reading.

Martin.
