Her by Spike Jonze.

Visually stunning, perfect tone and setting. Awesome people. A heartfelt romantic movie. Joaquin Phoenix and Scarlett Johansson doing a spectacular job.

Not much like favourite movie but some interesting ones. I recently listened to podcast about Czech cinematography and there are some worth watching.

“Marečku podejte mi pero” is fun comedy with lots of puns and remembered lines. It stars first Czech professional actor and some that are active to this day.

If you want something from the same guys but more serious “Nejistá sezóna” and “Kolja” (this won Oscar for best foreign film) is also worth watching.

My favorite movie is probably Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure. It certainly isn’t the best movie ever made by any stretch of the imagination, but something about the way the jokes are written land perfectly for me every time.

It’s not for everybody, but I definitely quote it more than a reasonable person should.

Pan’s Labyrinth
The way it’s telling this dark fairy tale with the backdrop of fascism in Francoist Spain, combining real world and fantasy, is just so incredibly well done. It also has one of the most memorably evil antagonists of any media I’ve experienced, and some very creepy and beautiful creature designs done with practical effects. Everything just comes together perfectly in this movie.

Top Gun. It has everything. Super well done, just enough cheesy 80’S. Lots of great one liners, and a really well written story.

Can’t find a better movie.

Alien (1979)

like its a scifi horror movie with incredible effects work (i love the xenomorph soso much!), and it just makes really good use of like sexual horror, like the alien itself is designed by H.R. Giger, so there’s gonna be some horniness to it, but like its just a really well put together movie ^_^

Clue, from 1985. (An adaptation of the board game, yes.)

It was a total flop when it was released but It has gained a bit of a “cult” status since then. Characters are over the top, it’s full of puns and corny jokes but I totally love it. The rhythm at which it delivers jokes is incredible. You’ll miss many jokes the first time you see it but it doesn’t matter because another one is coming almost immediately.

And it doesn’t even feel rushed or fast paced. All of the many characters have a chance to be developed and the fact that the whole thing happens on real time is very interesting. It even has multiple endings which they showed in different theatres when it was first released!

If you like murder mysteries and light comedy this is for you. Go watch if you haven’t.

ps- Can I interest you in fruit or dessert?

Castle in the Sky. I just recently started watching some Studio Ghibli films, with Castle in the Sky blowing me away with a simple, but amazing story, concept and beautiful execution. Hayao Miyazaki is a genius.

The Downfall

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb is my favorite movie. It’s got great characters, including three played by the same actor, is well written with some very quotable lines, and the story is both absurd and believable (even now).

I’ll be the first to admit that it’s not for everybody, but if you’re asking for movies to watch it’s probably for you. With movies I always recommend going in knowing nothing.

I could quote the whole thing probably, but I’ll spare you and just say that the way the Russian ambassador says “fresh fish” is weirdly seared into my brain.
