Clawfire gave me one of these stupid chains. This time it's about listing your 10 favourite movies. So:

1. Gattaca because everything in this movie is good: the story, the subject, the photography, the acting...
2. The Truman Show because it's a funny and clever movie. The script is also by Gattaca's director/screenwriter, Andrew Niccol.
3. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, another movie with Jim Carrey, but once again clever, creative and funny.
4. Dracula, the most romantic movie of all. "Mina, drink it and join me in eternal life..."
5. 2001, a Space Odyssey, a crazy movie that asks the greatest questions of mankind: our origin, our part, our future... and that delivers a puzzling answer. I like Stanley Kubrick a lot, many slow and long sequences but a lot of weight.
6. Mulholland Drive, from one of my favourite directors, David Lynch. A movie impossible to understand before watching it several times. I won't say more but I identify to some scenes very well.
7. All the Alien: Alien is the best xenomorph ever designed. His body, his intelligence, his way to reproduce, everything is perfect in this monster. And Ellen Ripley is a true hero.
8. Exiles, because I had to cite a French movie and I like Romain Duris :)
9. Drop Dead Gorgeous, one of the only movies I can think of right now, a lot of dark humour for a beauty contest in deep America.
10. Secretary because it talks about sex and it's very funny.

I listed those that popped in my mind, there's probably other movies I like more, but anyway...
