Rushmore (1998)
One of the most beautiful movies I've ever seen.
This 1998 film written by Wes Anderson and actor/writer Owen Wilson is without a doubt one of the most beautiful movies I've ever seen. The gorgeous visuals set a perfect backdrop for some of the greatest movie dialogue of all time. Between the amazingly witty comments made by both Max Fischer (Jason Schwartzman) and Herman Blume (Bill Murray, in a truly Oscar worthy performance, he was unjustly robbed of a nomination), the producers implement some great, offbeat music that fits perfectly into the film. This music accurately projects what Max is feeling, and it progresses as he does throughout the film, as we see just how far a young man will go in the name of love.
Il silenzio dei prosciutti (1994)
Funny at times, overall decent.
This parody of several movies packs some amusing moments, such as Billy Zane flipping open his wallet to reveal a waffle and saying, "FBI have an appointment", and a humourous turn by Dom Deluise as a cannibal, which overall make this movie a decent turn worth a look. How long a look will depend on how much you enjoy slapstick comedy and one-liners. There are times it drags, and some of the jokes are corny, but overall the funny moments outweigh the not funny ones, so give this one a look if you're in the mood for a light laugh.
The Usual Suspects (1995)
This is my favourite movie of all time.
Let me begin by stating that this is my favourite movie of all time. The cast is phenomenal, and Kevin Spacey in particular shines, as was clearly recognized by his winning of a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his role as Verbal Kint. His performance is simply breathtaking, and this crime thriller is one of the most astonishing stories ever. The plot packs all kinds of twists and turns, and the mystery remains just that until the final few minutes. Just when you think you know everything, you find out that you don't. Few movies can maintain a mysterious air until the end, but this one not only does that, it delivers a tremendous story along the way, brought to life by one of the best ensemble casts in the history of the movies.
