Must-See Movies


Last Updated - March 28, 2014.

Video I made a few months ago about films in general.


Video on Tsai Ming-Liang & Lee Kang-Sheng.



The films I recommend everybody to watch are the ones by Tsai Ming-Liang and Lee Kang-Sheng so this is why I put them first in the list. I left out Face because it's already in my 2009 list.

This list will only feature films from 2008 and before in no specific order. I will be adding 10 more from time to time. The first 10 are no better than the last, it's simply because I have so many of them that I can't do it all at once.

  1. wow.
    I am glad i cyberflaneured my way to this. Youve compiled a wonderful list of movies, all of them similar in tone, bounded by melancholy and a delicate yet beautiful sadness.
    My favorite from this list is Yi Yi and in my experience, anything by Koreeda Hirokazu iz phenomenal. There are some movies ive never heard of on your list, ill be shure to watch the most appealing ones, thanks for compiling the list, makes life easier for others.
    I found this via your youtube screamo video, and im glad i did.
    I always refer to movies in this halcyon tone as "screamo", because of the general feel they have and portray, its kind of the same, but expressed in different art forms and ways.

    Thanks.

  2. In these uncertain days of our social existance completly based on mainstream media, which is in the hands of major players, they define, mould & impose their cheap & shallow taste by every means on masses. So now a days it became very difficult for ppl to differentiate between good & bad.
    Even our good taste is being chalanged & questioned because it's not popular.
    So the myth of Popular & mainstream & good is created as they are majorly talked & highest grossing.
    Pple dont' allow to create taste & if they crate then they forced to modify by propoganda.
    Hope above list will create confidance in our good taste & resist shallow & cheap hush thrown at us from every corner of everyday lives...

  4. TGIF is not just an expression for workers who are super happy that the weekend has arrived, it is also relevant to the millions of movie aficionados who love going to see new releases on Fridays- the day when most new releases hit the theaters. Each dedicated movie-goer has had the experience of waiting eagerly in anticipation for a sequel of their favorite movie to come out. However, not every Friday can be this interesting. Despite that, many great films come out each month and there is never a shortage of https://freenetflixacc2019.weebly.com/ to see. Here is the list of three current movies you should go see in the movie theater.

  6. Parties have been a part of almost everyone's life, if not all. Every once in a while we attend several parties that have different themes and are intended for a particular purpose. Most of the time or normally, a party includes a wide variety of foods, drinks, games, presents, giveaways and of course many people. If one of these things is missing, a party will not be complete. There are different types of parties and some of the most popular parties that we often hear or attend are birthday parties, wedding parties, barbecue parties, Halloween parties and Christmas parties. stag parties

  9. One of the latest trends in the entertainment business has been the push by the movie industry to get people going to the movies again. There was a time when the public rushed over to their local movie theater to check out the latest crop koktale new movie releases, but over the years, people started to stay home figuring it was a better experience.

  12. Everybody in Hollywood should be taking notes. This is exactly how a blockbuster movie should be done. Let's not kid ourselves, blockbuster action movies will continue to be the bread and butter of Hollywood for some time to come. While this is alright, the problem usually lies in that they're so shallow and cliche and just "eh". movie box app

  13. Technology has made life easier and enjoyable. The communication world has continued bringing cell phones and gadgets that combine a variety of important activities together. The transport industry recently comprises fast airplanes, automobiles, motorcycles, bicycles and many other powerful machines. Instead of sending letters, which used to take long, e-mails, Skype, Google talk, yahoo messenger, Facebook, and many live-chat mechanisms have taken communication to another level. At the moment, technological advancements have continued in areas of computers, business, medicine, aviation, food processing and others. But, how does nature fare when technology is in action? Will technology eventually supersede nature? free youtube premium

  33. There are fewer words that make a movie buff happier than 'new movie releases'. After all, movie buffs understand that watching as many movies as possible isn't the actual goal, but they are intrigued & guided by the want to have a front-seat to new movies as they are released. Given the "dog eat dog" world of movie reviews either in print or via video, scoring an early viewing lets your voice be heard before anyone else's. It even makes the guy typing, "First" a little late to the party. ดูหนังออนไลน์

  36. The Small Business Administration says family-owned businesses account for 90% of all businesses in the US. This number includes huge, family-owned corporations like Mars Inc. and Wal-Mart and top earners like Berkshire-Hathaway. But most family businesses are small ones. The Census Bureau says 28% of small businesses are family-owned, which in turn account for 42% of all small business receipts. 80 Lower
