5 Favorite Movies Made During My Lifetime
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.
