    The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is also a trilogy...and it consists of five books. So the word "trilogy" is a bit arbitrary. [/b][/quote]
    Okay.

    The View Askew store sells Clerks, Mallrats & Chasing Amy as the Jersey Triology (it's a box-set) though, thus the reason I brought it up.

    ok.... took a while to decide..... but:

    1) Requiem For A Dream- made me depressed for 2 weeks, a real eye opener, Darren Aronofsky(the director) is simply amazing....

    2) Donnie Darko- any movie that makes me cry is an amazing movie, i thought that i had no right to be alive after i saw it.... you can't beat that.... (besides, of course, Requiem)

    3) Crime And Punishment In Suburbia- During basically the whole movie, you think, wow, this is just a pointless movie about murder, a stalker, and how many times an obese man can swear... but the ending makes it..... one major theme is about hope, and a path to reach happiness and salvation.... not to mention, Vincent Kartheiser is beautiful

    4) Kinsey- lets talk...... about sex. what more do you need? oh, and i almost forgot, Liam Neeson is in it, and he's spectacular!

    5) Love Actually- such a happy movie!.... i LOOOOOOOOVE it! go love! go Hugh Grant!... not to mention my aunt hates me more because i like 'such an awful film'!


    honourable mentions: Another Day in Paradise, Les Miserables, Rocky Horror Picture Show, Dandelion, Moulin Rouge, Saw, and Star Wars (4, 5, 6)
    and i forget the name of it this one movie, about a prostitute, who becomes a serial killer.... and she's a lesbian...... whats it called?!.... whatever, you get the point. excelent movie...

    All time favorite movie!

    Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas.

    The Nightmare Before Christmas is a visual splendor. Done on the cheap, this could have been a gimmicky, unsatisfying experience, but, as the result of considerable time and effort, it is an absolute success. All of the figures move smoothly and naturally, and the attention to detail is exquisite. We are given a group of cleverly fashioned characters that look like refugees from Edward Gorey's sketchbook.

    Donnie Darko.

    Flooring, absolutely amazing. I was knocked flat. A gorgeous cast and plenty of golden quotes.

    "And how did it make you feel when you were denied these... hungry, hungry hippos?" :lol:

    Sleepy Hollow.

    Johnny Depp. *deceases* Christina Ricci. *resurrects and deceases* The Headless Horseman... heh. Tim captured the beloved American faerie tale flawlessly.

    What's Eating Gilbert Grape.

    5 stars. I highly, highly recommend this film. Leonardo DiCaprio captures the struggles of a 17 year-old boy suffering from a mental illness. His older brother, Gilbert (Johnny Depp) realizes that life is a terrible thing to waste when one's not living in it. While juggling his family, and his personal life, he finds where his true values lie.

    Girls and boys, I suggest stocking up on at least a dozen boxes of Kleenex and a chocolate bar. :lol:

    The Punisher.

    I hearted the film so much the first time 'round in theatres, I suggested Neil and his buddies take me out to town to see it a second time. :) Tom Jane - most widely known, if at all, for his leading role in the shark flick, Deep Blue Sea - is Frank Castle, a retiring FBI agent. A series of unfortunate events during a family reunion in Puerto Rico, tracks Castle back 6 months, where he must leave his past and the surname, Castle, and throw himself into the future for him that lies ahead. But you can bet, Frank Castle won't enter life unprepared. Great action sequences. (I must admit I balled both times during the chase scene between Maria, Will and the Saints and his wicked henchmen.)

    1- Run Lola Run

    I thought the concept was great. Beginning with one situation and having three possible endings is really great. I'm also a sucker for German/European movies so..

    2- Seducing Doctor Lewiss

    It's a Quebec movie that won the Sundance festival's public prize. I loved it because of how funnily it shows a stereotypical little village cut from the world. Also, some great Quebec's actors play in it (Benoit Brière, Bruno Blanchet, Rita Lafontaine) I know most of you probably haven't even heard about it, but it's definitely one of the best local movie ever.

    3- The Barbarian Invasions

    It won the Oscar for Foreign Language film at the last Oscar's ceremony. IMO, it's one of the deepest movie ever done. Denis Arcand played on the fears of the Baby Boomers but also made a constatation of today's society. Rémy Girard was excellent, but I still don't understand why Marie-Josée Croze is said to be excellent in this movie..

    4- Goodbye Lenin

    Because I'm a sucker for History, Germany and everything having a link with the russian communism. It pictures greatly how a city and its people have to accept and adapt themselves to majors changes in their environment. Simply amazing

    5 - Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind

    Best movie ever made on memory. I'm not a big fan of Jim Carrey and even less of Kate Winslet but I was greatly surprised by the movie. It was a bit hard to understand at first (I listened to it at midnight) but when I saw it a second time the day after, many things made sense.

    i think its called 'Monster'....starring Charlize Theron right?

    Requiem for a Dream is a really huge opener for me. i didnt really get what it meant until a few laters when the horrible truth sunk it. thats when i really lost it.

    2) The Lord of the Rings- that says it all
