This is very hard to do because I really liked most of these movies, so I love some of the ones really far down on the list.
1. The Devils Backbone - I am a little biased on this one because I really just love it because it is directed by Del Toro. I pretty much love anything directed by him and his style was very noticeable in this film. And although it wasn't scary it was a really cool story.
2. Zero Dark Thirty - I loved this film. It was suspenseful even though it seemed not much was going on. It told a good story in an awesome fashion and had an extremely strong female lead which we do not often see.
3. Do the Right Thing - This was my very first Spike Lee film, and at first I was nervous about it, but I ended up enjoying it a lot and even bought the movie (although it was only $1 at target). I love movies that take place only in one day or a short amount of time, and I enjoyed the topic of race throughout the movie.
4. Seconds - I loved how this movie was sort of scary in a way, with its cinematography and strange storyline. It kind of reminded me of Ingmar Bergman.
5. Double Indemnity - An awesome Film Noir about a man and a woman murdering the woman's husband. I loved the use of shadows, flashbacks, voice over, and the cinematography.
6. M - This film was strangely eerie with the whistling of the molester, and the emotion portrayed by him and other characters. Fritz Lang is just amazing.
7. Blancanieves - This film was just okay in my opinion. I loved how it was a retelling of Snow White in a weird way, and the cinematography and music was awesome, but the story itself really didn't catch my attention as much as some of the others
8. Sherlock Jr. - I have to appreciate this film for its place in the history of film. These kind of films were important to what we see today, and also it was hilarious to me, I love that kind of slap-stick humor.
9. The Hitch-Hiker - I actually really did like this film which is why I'm even surprised I put it so far down on my list. I think the only reason was because it was pretty boring to me. I feel that it could have been more exciting or something, I don't know.
10. El Topo - This is another film that I think that I really did like. The problem is that I didn't understand this film enough to put it near the top. It was by far the strangest western I have ever seen and is at the top of my list of movies I don't understand much.
11. The Piano - This was by far my least favorite film. I just really didn't enjoy it and it was the only one that I can say that about. I was bored the whole time, I thought the symbolism was a stretch, and the acting really wasn't all that great. I just didn't like it.
