Okay here's my top nine, because I know that one of my favorite books is turning into a movie, Invisible Monsters:
9. Ultra Violet
The reason for this is because I feel like there's so many movies out there that have the whole, "Supressed Society/Messed up Society/Two sides fighting" thing going on, but in my book, this one really touched me because I feel it's just one of those movies that really go over and beyond emotion and possibly what it means to be human. I don't know. They may have sounded retarded. Oh well.
8. Labyrinth
I like this movie because it has David Bowie and I love him to death. I also first watched this as a little kid and movies that I watch as a little kid that I still love today is significant in my life because I'd watch them with my grandma, which for me, made it very special because she died when I was nine and I still feel a special bond with her when I watch this movie.
7. The anime little mermaid [that was made in like 1977 or something like that]
This movie had such a simple plot, and the prince was sort of dumb in it, but I loved that damn little dolphine that Marina [the mermaid's name] swam around with. They made this movie intended for little kids cause yes, I watched it when I was little, but it also has a deeper meaning that I didn't even see until I found the VHS and watched it a couple months ago. Just so you know, in this version, the prince doesn't fall in love with the mermaid and the mermaid commits suicide.
6. The nightmare before Christmas
I also watched this when I was little and I think it turned my direction of growing up a completely different way. It's really hard to explain what I mean by this one, but this will always be a favorite of mine.
5. Edward Sisscorhands
Yet ANOTHER old one but I like this one because it reminds me of the rich area that I live in, where all of the houses are huge and look the same and whatnot and people here don't take to different people that well. So this movie represents what kind of world I live in.
4. Shoujo Kakemei Utena: The Movie
I'm putting this in my list because this really defines love in my book, what you will do for love and how love is percieved by various characters in the movie. This movie also represents life after death and how your actions in life affect where you'll end up.
3. Pulp Fiction
I put this in cause this movie makes you think a lot. Well at least for me it did. And I found it really funny in a way that probably wasn't supposed to be too funny. But hey, it's directed by Quentine Tarentino, what do you expect?
2. Pi
Darren Arronofsky...the greatest director ever to me. This movie illustrates my mind in pictures and how I percieve things. Not everything mind you, but this movie really defines math and religion to me and how the two really do cross, just not many people [Like Maximillion] really think about this while solving math equations to find a pattern in the stock market and get really rich =D lol.
1. Requiem For A Dream
If you saw what I said about Darren Arronofsky, you probably saw this one coming. Why is this one significant for me? Because it turned my life around. It picked me up off the bad road and put me on the good one, as it probably has done to a lot of people, although you do have to brush of the feeling of wanting to commit suicide at the end. But still, best movie ever to me.
