    The Big Lebowski. Simultaneously ridiculous and incredibly sophisticated. People who think its “just” a stoner comedy may have some more viewings to go 🙂

      I never realized it was considered a stoner comedy! It’s quite a bit better than one I’ve seen in that category!

    Liar, liar.

    Nearly every single line in that movie that Jim Carrey delivers is not only funny but his delivery and antics are a work of art. It’s like watching Messi dribble the soccer ball. Cary ewles gets an honorary mention for playing the straightman and absolutely killing it.

    For me it’s The Matrix.

    I never like to retread old ground, but this one’s an exception. It’s hard to overstate how much it blew our minds 26 years ago. I might have a soft spot for it too because I was raised sheltered and it was the first rated R movie I saw.

      It’s a shame they didn’t make any sequels. The creators probably decided it was a complete story rather than milk it to death like Star wars. Guess that’s for the best!

      I know they say it has nothing to do with them and their transitioning… but nothing can change my mind on how the whole movie can be seen as a struggle to choose who you really are…
