30th March 2010 by Kujali van Kalken

Movies which get us thinking and wondering about what’s surrounding us. One may often have these conversations where everybody give their thoughts on their best movies ever and why others have to see them. Well, I here take the opportunity to post a few of mines for which the soundtracks also have a big part in the success of the film. Therefore watch the trailers and if you do not have them yet buy the DVDs and add them to your collection. Enjoy it.

  1. Mr. Brooks

    Surprisingly and brillantly well shot movie of a killer’s point of view. Kevin Costner as never seen before.

  2. Babel

    A master piece on human nature and on how simple things could get far out of control.

  3. Coffee and Cigarettes

    11 short stories shot in black and white setting each characters in quite hylarious situations. You may feel like a coffe and a cigarette after it.

  4. Antichrist

    An intense movie from begining to end on growing physical and sexual insanity after the lost of a couple’s son. A must see and must be talked about afterwards.

  5. Survive Style 5+

    5 simultaneous, loosely linked plot lines, that intertwine and scramble together. In one of them a man keeps killing his wife and burying her in the woods only to find her alive, furious, and waiting for him when he returns home.

  6. Central do Brasil

    I highly recommend to watch this emotive journey of two souls looking for different things while being together until they finaly find each other.

  7. Tsotsi

    Six days in the violent life of a young Johannesburg gang leader in a beautiful yet disturbing film.

  8. Crash

    A well chosen title describing what happens when we let our doubts and uncertainties get the best of us.

  9. Into the Wild

    The adaptation of the life of a young tenager who eventualy decides to leave society behind for nature in an attempt to find who he really is.

    The film depicts different forms of addiction, leading to the characters’ imprisonment in a dream world of delusion and reckless desperation that is subsequently overtaken and devastated by reality.
