Ten movies to watch

Now that I'm trying to accomplish the hard work of seeing 1001 movies before I die, I started thinking: So far, what are the top ten movies I think everybody should watch, and this is what I got:



1. Casablanca
Love is complicated. Life is complicated. Casablanca is a classic.

2. The Godfather
I think of it as a saga, meaning the 3 movies, eventhough the first one is magnificent.

3. Citizen Kane
As intricate as real. 21st century power men are portrayed there... Almost fifty years before!

4. Todo sobre mi madre
Everybody should see a Pedro Almodovar film. This one portrays his original scripts and his genious direction.

5. Kill Bill Vol. 1 and Vol. 2
Quentin Tarantino achieved perfection in this surreal asian-action-like movie in which he made most of his characters memorable roles.

6. Star Wars Saga
Do I really have to say what this movies are to sci-fi genre?

7. Y tu mamá también
If you want to understand what happens in central Mexico and why Alfonso Cuarón movies are so relevant, you should watch this film... with open eyes and open-minded.

8. Toy Story
There is a before and after regarding animation. Woody and Buzz got in the middle of that.

9. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
If there weren't magic in movies, cinema wouldn't be art.

10. Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956)
Everybody should know: A good movie lies in a good story, well told... Not in visual effects.
