Top five (revised)
Hello, all. This weekend I got a chance to finally rewatch There Will Be Blood, and it was great! So good, I think it's actually not high up enough on my top five. So, I've made some rearrangements. See what you think: 1.) Raging Bull - see comments on previous top five. 2.) Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (2011) - I've been going through a David Fincher phase lately, and I think this one is the cream of the crop. I regretted not having any Fincher on my previous top five, and now I'm correcting that. This one says so much about our modern, technological world, and at the same time takes place in some very old- fashioned places that are just fascinating. Some great themes concerning feminism are in here, too. One of my very favorite movies. 3.) There Will Be Blood - In addition to the comments made on my previous top five, I'll say that this one has a lot to say about the limits of capitalism and the dangers of living in a wrecked economy. Daniel Day-Lewis is a powerhouse! 4.) Prometheus - Okay, I decided to put it on here. The inspiration for Elizabeth Shaw: Security Officer and the movie I've seen more times than any other. A great parable about the nature of religion (and true faith). 5.) Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice - Rewatched this over Memorial Day weekend. Sure it borrows heavily (lots of dialogue) from The Dark Knight Returns, but it's the most fun I've ever had at the movies. A real treat for us Bat fanatics. Until next time!
