5 Favorite Movies Made During My Lifetime

kontextmaschine:

In arbitrary order

Children of Men (2006)
The Fifth Element (1997)
24 Hour Party People (2002)
Sucker Punch (2011)
Human Traffic (1999)

So on one hand visually intense one-off SF-ish action with a lot of worldbuilding-by-implication, on the other British humor about clubbing. Okay, I’ll take it.

(And yes, I was fond of Fury Road.)

HOW did I forget Interstella 5555 (2003)?

I don’t cry at sad things. (Usually. Fried Green Tomatoes is, say, #12, though the frame story blows. Yay Lilith Fair ‘90s.) What reliably makes me cry is

• spacecraft launches
• bravery set to music
• heroic sacrifice

so this movie gets me fucking bawling, every time. And I love it.
