I'd have to think about my favorite movies in general, but I just saw Alfonso Cuaron's Children of Men and really liked it. Believe the hype (at least most of it). Lots of visual details to feast your eyes on, but with a solid story line.

Also, just watched White (Krysztof Kieslowski), the first of the Red/White/Blue triology that I've seen. I liked the fact that there were so many surprises, especially in how the characters reacted to particular situations. (I could do without the typically French thing of making romance always have to be some kind of love-hate thing, but there's a lot more to the film than that.)

Frex and I were talking up about this the other day.

My fav movie of all time is Back to the Future.

Others that follow:
Finding Nemo
The Incredibles (well, every Pixar movie...)
The Science of Sleep
Jurassic Park (the best fun is making analogies to this movie.)
Leon [The Professional]
Go (the best late 90's teen movie was the least "teen movie" of the late 90s)
Serenity
Saved! (almost any starring Jena Malone, really. Cheaters was good too.)
and lets go aheadand throw some Empire Strikes Back up here to boot

I love HK and Korean cinema.

Favourite HK movies:
1. In the mood for love by Wong Kar-Wai (WKW doesn't get better than this)
2. Chungking Express by Wong Kar-Wai (a movie about the little things in life)
3. Fulltime Killer by Johnnie To (gunfighting action!)
Honourable mention: Infernal Affairs aka the original "The Departed"

Favourite Korean movies:
1. 3-iron by Kim Ki-Duk
2. Save the Green Planet (I think EVERYONE should watch this, the director basically manages to fuck with everyone's expectations of the movie. damn amazing stuff.)
3. Shiri, the first Korean movie I watched.
Honourable mention: Old Boy; Choi Min-Sik is the most amazing actor in the world.

Favourite non-asian movies:
1. Lost in Translation by Sofia Coppola
2. Millions by Danny Boyle
3. Fight Club (save for the disappointing last 20mins of the movie)
4. La vita è bella by Roberto Benigni
5. Singing in the Rain (yes that one with Gene Kelly)

I'm probably the only person who likes the first half as much as the second half. But yeah, Faye Wong's great in the movie. "You're not daydreaming... you're sleepwalking!" hahaha.

Oh Hero! I actually hate that movie. Haha. It's so beautiful visually, but the storytelling sucks. What the hell is Zhang Ziyi doing in there, besides to take off her clothes? That Zhang Yimou needs a lesson or two about subtlety and restraint. and oh, Hero so visually stunning because the cinematography is done by Christopher Doyle, who partners with Wong Kar-Wai most of the time.
