My favourite movies. I'm not going to list them in order but I'm just going to list the movies that just popped into my mind at that time. The first is definitely "The Prestige". Hahaha. My friend, Chang Wern Sern, recommended this movie to me. I wanted to watch it when it was doing it's rounds in the theatres but I didn't have the chance. I didn't have a clue what the movie was about, only that it was about magicians doing magic tricks. Hahah. I think when you watch a movie, not anticipating anything, you'd find the experience even more enjoyable. Don't worry, I wont spoil the movie for those who have not watched it yet. But the movie captured me from the very beginning. I love these type of movies. Movies that don't keep you checking out what time it is? How long has the movie played? When is it gonna end? These kinda movies keep you on the edge of your seat every second. You just don't want the movie to end. And when it does finally end, you'd think about the movie. Over and over again. How brilliant it was written and all. Hahaha. "The Prestige" gave me that feeling. Hahah. Between "The Prestige" and "The Illusionist", I found "The Prestige" the superior movie.
Next, I would say "The Green Mile". Its a prison type of movie. You would think that its your typical 'good guy goes to jail, gets beaten up, bullied, makes friends with people, then digs a hole and escapes from the prison' type of movie. Well, you're sooo wrong there. This is a different genre of prison movie. Not like "Shawshank Redemption" or "Escape from Alcatraz", it has more meaning that just escaping from prison. Its about life as itself. Appreciating what life is all about. "The Green Mile", although is approximately 3 hours long, is a tear busting movie. Do expect your emotional dam to collapse while watching this movie. Its so wonderfully written, you don't realise that you have spent 3 hours of your life watching a 'box with colours'.

Now this is not really a favourite of mine but I just love the intro to the story. "28 Weeks Later". The sight of Don running away from countless zombies is mesmerizing. Just watch the intro, you'd love it. Actually, the grass that he runs on, its green. Like seriously damn green. Hahaha. Damn, i wonder how it feels like to be chased by countless zombies. You think i could outrun em? Hahaha What a thought.
