# 21 Chinatown

This is such a good movie! But I knew it would be as soon as I saw that good ol' Jack Nicholson starred in it. This movie was full of twists and had everything- sex, murder, intrique....and Faye Dunaway's pencilled on eyebrows....ugh. It was kinda hard for me to really pay attention to her because I kept looking at those damn pencilled on eyebrows wondering who the hell told her they looked good? Seriously?! Her big eyebrows in Mommy Dearest were much better then those hideous things! Crap, now I'm being super catty, my bad. So I love that it took place in during the 30's and that our hero is a rough and tumble P.I.......Also...the movies opens with pictures of people having sex. Great way to start a film, huh? This was my second Polanski film that I had seen (the first was Rosemary's Baby...which BTW don't watch if you are pregnant) and I have to say that I am impressed with his style...doesn't make me like him any though....pervert.

# 98 Yankee Doodle Dandy

Well no one can deny that James Cagney was a helluva performer. The man could dance, sing and act but the movie just seemed like a two hour long concert. Number after number which was really entertaining but it seemed like there wasn't much in between the numbers, it was just like the boring little transitional chit chat crap they do during shows when they are changing scenery. It could be just be me, but as a movie, I couldn't really enjoy it. If they cut out the dialogue in between and simply had it as number after number (like sketches perhaps) I probably would've liked it, but I can't really grasp it as a movie.

# 3 Casablanca

We have all heard of this movie and the quotes from it ("Here's looking at you kid..."), but you really have to see it. The movie is beautiful and heartbreaking. To truly love someone is to love them so much that you place their happiness above your own, even if it means they are with someone else. You can tells that Ilsa and Rick still have a strong connection and that they love each other but you also know that Ilsa loves her husband very much and that he is the man she is supposed to be with. It's passionate and beautiful and I know that Kiel probably would've hated it because of the lack of violence. LOL. But still Humphrey Bogart was such a man's man in this movie wasn't he? Even with his wrinkley forehead he was still pretty sexy.

#30 Apocalypse Now

"You can kill me, but don't judge me."

Holy shit this movie totally blew my mind. The insanity and chaos of it all and nothing being as it seems. Holy effin shit! I wonder if there are times where it is like that for Kiel (not right now, though...he is too busy being bored. YAY!). This movie really showcases what an incredible director Coppola is because he is able to create movies that don't just stick him into one specific style or genre. I knew Brando would be amazing and Martin Sheen just floored me. You can tell that he really pushed himself to accurately portray Capt. Willard's journey to the depths of insanity and uncertainty while remaining a man that was relatable to in that situation. Great fucking movie! But I probably would've liked it more if Kiel was there to reassure me that things aren't that crazy for him. I miss him so much.
