Man on the Moon - Saw it in theaters years ago, just had to see it again 
Elvis and Anabelle - really nice
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time - well... not that it is not fun and all... but...
The Sunset Limited - more movies like this, please
Watchmen - omg, why is this so long? I had a version of 3 hours and 24 minutes... this story could be well jammed into 1h30 (not that it is that bad of a movie, it is just toooooo loooong). The visuals are amazing, though.
The Man Who Planted Trees - No words to describe this masterpiece. You just have to see it!
28 Days Later... - I regret watching this.
The Chronicles of Narnia - The whole trilogy, actually. And I liked it!
House of Flying Daggers - A couple inconsistencies aside, this is an amazing piece of cinematography. The story has a few very interesting twists which spice up the movie.
Sucker Punch - Stunning visuals, hot girls and that is probably it. But it is entertaining!
Nineteen Eighty-Four - This is fucked up.
Koyaanisqatsi - Beautiful...
Norwegian Wood - I must admit I was pleasantly surprised. Having read the book I can say they didn't ruin my memory of it. In fact, they found quite good actors to bring this story to life. Of course, they left a lot out and Midori had a lot shorter hair in my imagination, but film has some of its own rules... Perhaps making movies out of books is not such a good idea in general. Perhaps it would be better to write stories for movies separately.
Bathory - A good story ruined with bad directing.
Battle: Los Angeles - What we have here is an alien invasion movie WITHOUT a presidential address, secret UN meetings, NASA expert groups, new-age lunatics all the rest of the ET welcoming protocol. What is left is just another rescue mission and that is all there is to it. But you don't need aliens for that. All the money spent on CGI seems kinda wasted.
Letters from Iwo Jima - Damn good movie. Nuff said!
Fight Club - Every now and then you just have to rewatch this.
Rabbit Hole - Despite the fact that Nicole Kidman is giving a superb performance and that this movie has some stunning cinematic qualities, I believe this story would function much better as a book.
The King's Speech - OK, it is a very good movie, but not that good. It is certainly not better than Black Swan.
Water for Elephants - Really nice. Good story, good cinematography... perhaps even good enough to watch this movie more than once.
2046 - This is a marvel... perhaps a bit too long, but the cinematography and the story are both amazing!!!
Elvis and Anabelle - really nice
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time - well... not that it is not fun and all... but...
