lock_stock_and_two_smoking_barrels_ver2One of Guy Richie’s main references, this movie is definitely in my top 50 list. The action is about 4 young British lads, who make cash doing small time street scams. In their try to change their luck by entering a highly dangerous card game, they mix themselves with the town’s big boys. The action is changing very quick and you never know what’s around the corner. Follow the dialogs and the characters carefuly and you’ll find it all quite funny. I think I know some parts by heart :) )

casinoCasino is the type of movie that you know you will enjoy just by looking at the actors. But then, later when you are actually seeing it, you realize that all this fuss about it actually makes sense. It simply has everything: casinos (obviously), mobsters, de Niro, money, sex, violence, drama, revenge, emotion and a damn good story. On my “go and see list”! Oh and as a piece of advice: watch it with friends – it increases the fun. That’s it! I’m done.

PulpFictionIf this movie would have a d*** probably a lot of people would knee down and blow it. This right here is Quentin Tarantino at his best. The scenes are great and concentrated, the characters are colorful and charismatic, the dialogs are short, spicy and funny. There are some memorable speeches that are part of the best in the industry. It full of unexpected and keeps you on your toes, but it always seems to give you that “It’s just a movie anyway” kind of glow. Definitely one of my top 10.

4-roomsAs the title suggests the action takes place in 4 rooms, in a hotel, where 12 guests decide to spend their New Years Eve. Nothing outrageous so far, nothing until a group of witches decides to stay in, a “game-loving” psychopath is “playing” with his wife, a dead body pops out of a bed and in the VIP room someone is betting with the “chop my finger” money. And all this trough the eyes of a terrified bell hopper, played by Tim Roth. Not such a common movie and yes, it is hilarious!

trainspottingMost of my favorite movies are either based on a true story, either the screening of a book. Trainspotting is in the second category. The movie features a group of young Scottish lads, fighting in one of life’s biggest traps: heroin. Some of them attempt to quit the habit, but it turns out to be difficult and with impact on the people close to them. I would recommend this movie for those who want to have a mouthful of some realities which most of us are ignorant towards. Anyway besides the movie I recommend the soundtrack and the book too.

fear and loathingYou definitely have to be in a certain way to get your head around this one. Johnny Depp plays the role of a funky reporter and Benicio del Toro is his lawyer. In order to cover a sporting event and to find something known only as the American Dream, they head straight to Las Vegas. The trip is fueled by every drug known to man which they purchased and tucked away earlier in the trunk of their red convertible. In a nutshell, this is the adaptation of the psychedelic novel with the same name by Hunter Thompson.
