An all-time fav and a recent goodie.
Wong Kar-Wai's 2000 "In the Mood for Love" is one of the greatest and
most beautiful movies ever, ever, ever made. It is perfect! My kind of
movie. Everyone should give it a whirl. Christopher Doyle has
got to be the best living cinematographer around today. I especially
love the music, the slo-mo, the colors, and the play acting scenes. You
will fall in love with Tony Leung and Maggie Cheung. "In the Mood for
Love" deserves to be watched over and over again. Wong Kar-Wai is a
genius; simple as that. You have to pay attention though! He doesn't
spoon feed you a story. Check it out on Netflix Instant! The "prequel"
"Days of Being Wild," is, I believe, also available via Netflix. I don't
think the sequel "2046" is though. All are awesome. But "In the Mood
for Love" is the best.
Mike Birbiglia 2012 "Sleepwalk with me"
was a surprisingly good little gem from just last year. It tells the
true story of Mike Birbiglia (who also directs), a struggling comedian
with a very dangerous sleepwalking condition. The famous "hotel
experience" is crazy, hilarious, and fantastically delivered. It's worth
a shot for a few laughs. Check it out on Netflix Instant, yuns!
