What an interesting group. Let's see if I can torpedo my credibility still further!:)
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Blasphemous as this may well be, it's very funny but I only ever needed to see it once.
Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl
For me, easily the best of the trilogy and Jack's initial appearance is, hands down, one of the highlights of 21st Century cinema to date. But, it suffers a little from Matrix-itis (Great opening movie, law of diminishing returns from there on in).
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Just gets smarter every time I watch it. There's something really honest about the relationships in the movie, something very, very convincing about convincing about the mundanity of how people interact and the way that we cherish the tiniest things and nurse the tiniest grudges.
God I sound like a pretentious ass today. Moving on.
It's a lovely movie that manages to be both romantic and pragmatic. The fact that I'm very fond of Kate Winslet with blue hair is simply an added bonus. This gets my vote.
The Matrix
Loved it, bought it, watched it many times. Watched the sequels and now...I can't make it past twenty minutes in. All I can see is the dance sequence in Reloaded, or Hulk Agent in the car chase, or the point where we spend twenty plus minutes in Revolutions in the company of a character who is A)Irrelevant and B)Someone you've never seen before unless you've watched The Animatrix and even then, is put in place to do nothing but effectively be a placeholder.
Bah.
Of course, that being said Speed Racer looks astounding so it's clear I've learnt nothing.
Hellboy
I have near total Hellboy love, it's one of the first comics I got into back when I ran the store and the combination of pulp adventure and the supernatural never fails to entertain me. I especially like the joke that he's only actually a great paranormal investigator because he's functionally impossible to kill and isn't really that bothered about finding out WHAT it is he's supposed to hit:) Really lookin forward to the second one too.
