These are my current favorite movies, and are certainly subject to change. Keep in mind that I'm a huge film geek.

1. Magnolia--directed by Paul Thomas Anderson. (possibly the ultimate culmination of everything that I value in cinema. Incredible (and I mean fucking incredible) script, beautiful long camera shots/zoom technique, and incredible acting. I personally think that PTA has found the perfect artistic blend of the styles of Jonathan Demme, Marty Scorsese, and Jean Renoir. I think that PTA picked up where Boogie Nights left off, it really shows how he has matured as a filmmaker. While Boogie Nights was an incredible film, his inexperience really showed in it.)

2. Notre Musique--directed by Jean-Luc Godard. (Godard truly pushes the limits of cinema in this movie. He is truly a master filmmaker in every sense of the term. Notre Musique just fucking....beautiful.)

3. Taxi Driver--directed by Martin Scorsese. (Scorsese is a master, especially when he's working with DeNiro. However, I think that alot of credit should go to Paul Schrader, the writer. I recently had a chance to read a draft of the first speculative script of this movie (speculative drafts are alot like novels in a way, much moreso than a shooting script. A spec script is still a screenwriter's medium, and hasn't been adapted by the director for shooting, it explains alot of emotion, backstory etc. and I have to say that I was awestruck when I read this one.)

4. La Ronde--directed by Max Ophüls. (I love Ophüls' work. His cinematography is fucking beautiful--characterized by a constantly movie camera, with many closeups mixed in.)

5. Reservoir Dogs--directed by Quentin Tarantino. (I included this film in my top 5 because it shows us just exactly how fucking incredibly talented Tarantino is as a writer and director. This movie was filmed for 75,000 USD which is very, very cheap for a feature film. It was shot on a rented Super 16mm camera, which I would have shot this film on even if I had a large budget because 16mm gives the film that surrealistic, grainy, dream-like look. Tarantino's creativity, though, is what really impresses me--such as the K-Billy's Super Sounds of the Seventies voice-overs. Also, Tarantino is the absolute best at writing bullshit chit-chat dialogue--I fucking love it.)

Bah, I've rambled so fucking much. Whatever.
