Goodfellas (1990)
Influential and Unforgettable
You'll see 'Goodfellas' in the every list of the best movies of all time. Along with 'The Godfathers' this movie brings you insights of the tumultuous but interesting mafia world.
Acting from De Niro, Liotta and specially Joe Pecci and of course, the direction from Scorssese, makes this movie unforgettable.
Loraine Bracco and all women in the movie are fantastic and we have to believe their performance here opened the door for their characters in the 'Sopranos' TV series for some of the actors here.
You can watch it several times on different stages of your life and it's not gonna lose the entertainment.
Green Book (2018)
A must see movie with exceptional actors
More than the main topic treated in the movie, which is very well depicted, I think this movie is a must see because it brings the best from every person. It touches those sentiments and emotions that are almost forgotten nowadays, like compassion, true friendship, solidarity, courage, and obviously love. This is an story rare for today's superhero and marvel blockbusters, it's about being humans, good humans. And what makes this movie really unforgettable is the acting from these two individuals that captivate the audience, and make us feel that we are with them all the way. Vigo and Mahersala are superb in their roles and regardless of getting oscar nods or not whoever sees the movie will understand why movies last forever. This one stays forever, it's exceptional.
The Elephant Man (1980)
I finally watched and didn't disappoint me
After a long time debating myself if I really wanted to watch this movie, I finally got the courage to rent it and watch it and to be honest with you, I really love it. I was afraid of start crying or to have pity or to feel sorry or having all type of sad emotions all together.
Movies of this nature, with people with such denigrating conditions are usually sorrow and at the end you feel that you were in hospital of hopeless people, this movie brings you from sadness to happiness, to reality, but most of everything to understand what the human race is capable and that is: a melting pot of feelings from the most good to the most evil.
Even though the elephant man knew that his ill was incurable, that he might have had an inconsolable childhood, that he was treated like a freak even worse than an animal, he was a normal person, smart and really sociable. Similar to real live, most people just see the exterior and don't see inside, most of the times the opposite happens when you see beautiful people with an ugly heart, this movie was great in showing all the contrary. In the bright side, there are and always will be people that help others and don't worry about their external characteristics and their actions resonate louder and louder, in a way that fights the barriers of social classes, fame and time.
In summary, it was a really a great experience to watch this movie, please watch it without prejudice.
Hodejegerne (2011)
Great thriller
I found this movie by coincidence and gave it a shot just to have a sense on what a Norwegian film was gonna look like. It turned out as a great thriller that keeps you guessing what's gonna happen next. The introduction of the film is interesting: a high end recruiter guy that has a job on the side (stealing paintings from his top candidates houses so he can sell them and make good money). The guy has a very expensive life style and his main job can't afford it. But even with a good script, movies can fail if the acting, the direction and the whole rhythm of the film don't fit. This is not the case with this one.
The direction was superb and the acting, specially the main character, looks very real in his role. The movie has some of the script twists as other action movies but they're worthy because you don't want the character to die before going to the bottom and see how everything is broken down.
In short, this is a great thriller and you'll have a good time watching it.
Inception (2010)
What an excellent Movie!!!
This is one of the most interesting movies you will ever see. It has great performances, starting with Dicaprio whom, from my standpoint, is the actor that choose the best movies to be in nowadays. The theme is completely outstanding. It's well thought, it's different, it keeps you thinking, it keeps you guessing and if you loose only one minute of the movie you'll be lost.
So, when you combine all what makes a movie a classic, one that will be studied after ten years of release it, then you have to agree that the directing work is magnificent and that's what Christopher Nolan has demonstrated in other movies (Batman, Memento), but specially in this one with a such complicated script (also written by him).
Don't loose this movie, watch it more than once,watch it with company, and I know for a fact that you won't forget it and you'll talk about it for a long time.
Crimes and Misdemeanors (1989)
One of the Best from Woody Allen!!
Excellent film. For me this is one of the best, if not THE best of Allen's movies. Landau is fantastic and Angelica Houston as well. Please, see this movie and at least you'll remain with the taste of: "Am I right about the meaning of living?".
Probably the second history with Allen character and his former real life wife could be deeper or with more details, but many things are treated in the movie that, at the end, leave you with different thoughts in your head, and that's probably why the movie is ageless and material for any philosophical discussion.
Don't miss it. You'll see why Allen is still admirable.
Per qualche dollaro in più (1965)
One of the best westerns
Just seeing the quality of the images, the photography, and the cool faces (I can't imagine a western hunter with other type of face), makes this movie excellent. The plot is not very complicated and you can argue some decisions made by the villain, but even with that, I think is very intelligent and probably by that you can't guess what is next. Eastwood, Cliff and 'El Indio' are good in their roles and the direction of Leone is superb. No doubt, Leone can be considered the best western director of all time, not by one movie but for his complete work.
Please, watch this movie and rank it. Definitely, it will be in your list for the best westerns of all time.
Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story (2004)
Not good messages in this comedy
The comedy itself is good because it makes you laugh and that's the objective, but behind this movie you can't see any good message. The world is modern and times have changed but i think that some behaviours could be showed in other sense. There are sexual moralities that can be acceptable but they are not normals. Oh, another thing, it's disappointing to see some old stars with just too little scenes, it's almost a shame. Comedies have to be evaluated in different perspectives, cause their main purpose is make you laugh but remember that children are exposed to this type of movies and you don't want your children think that life don't worth nothing.
The Time Machine (2002)
A good idea but not as good movie
Action in this movie only begin after one hour or so. It has some good special effects but the real thing is that you come out of the theater with not a good taste.
You think the movie doesn't have any sense and there are some pieces out of order.
E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982)
A tender master piece for all ages
Really, this is one of the most memorable movies I have ever seen. I saw the movie two or three times when it was displayed. I was a child and now that I have my kids I just saw it again because I wanted that they feel the same.
The magic is still there.
