My Dinner with Andre
Unrated
If I could make a film, this would probably be it. It's for writers, artists, or anyone else who thinks way too much about their existence.
2.
The Decalogue
Unrated
What can be said? A masterpiece of moral confusion and powerful humanism. Watch it in bits. I love the first and fifth. They have the most moral tension. It's *gorgeously* shot.

There Will Be Blood
R
Complicated with no easy answers, Anderson made a movie about America by focusing on one man -- in the tradition of Citizen Kane and Gatsby. Some say it isn't political enough -- I think that misses the point. Some say the end isn't satisfying -- I think that represents more our anxieties about capitalism than anything else. The score is brilliant, the cinematography flawless. I loved this movie (and I normally hate movies set in the West)

Happy Together
Unrated
One of the best gay movies ever. Period. (Of course, that isn't saying much.)

A Raisin in the Sun
PG
Such an American play/film. The shots are stunning, the acting superb, and themes so American and relevant for today. The ending is not perfect, in my opinion, but I'm nitpicking. Fabulous film about the (black) American experience.

Before Sunset
R
One of my all-time favorite romances - maybe #1. It's talky and smart, really well-conceived. Should've won the Oscar for the screenplay.
