Movies

My favorites are usually a mixed bag of middlebrow movies: a few dramas, sci-fis, comedies, documentaries, and some of the 20 or so screenplay Oscar and Chlotrudis nominated movies.

Author Comments:

75-79, 80-89, 90-100.
I'm using the IMDb title and year even if I prefer a special version released years later. Including TV movies ("(TV)" in IMDb title), straight to video/DVD movies "(V)", and short films; but excluding TV series, episodes ("), and TV mini-series.

Great list! Good to see Fight Club and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind on here.

Jeandré01/20/2009

Like those two, Memento also has a disrupted narrative and is about memory. Have you seen it?

sunset44801/20/2009

Memento is one of my favourite movies! Takes a little while to understand fully- I might buy it so I can watch over and over again...
