Kristin's Recomendations

On this page I'm making recomendations for you in terms of movies and music that I think you should check out. Got some for me? I'd love to hear them.

Movies:
1. Titanic- a lot of people think this movie is a sappy chick flick but I don't. Its got everything. Action, romance, suspense. The story of Jack and Rose will haunt you forever, as will images of the victims of this tradgedy.
Best Line: "Sorry! It's just that you look like, you know, kind of an 'indoor girl."

2. Empire Records- a teen movie but a very, very good one. The movie follows a group of kids who work in a music store as they have the craziest day of their life. I want to work in a place like this!
Best Line: "Lucas, what is the money doing in Atlantic City?"
"Recirculating."

3. Moulin Rouge-a musical and love story!!! Featuring many of thebest songs ever writtem such as Smells like Teen Spirit, re-worked to fit this amazing tale of undying love.
Best Line:
4. Casablanca- one of the greatest love stories ever, you HAVE to see this movie.
Best Line: "I am shocked, shocked to discover that gambling is going on here!"
"Your winnings sir."
"Thank-you."
5. Man in the Iron Mask- the cast (Leonardo DiCaprio, Gabriel Byrne, Gerard Depardieu, Jeremy Irons, and John Malkovich) is AMAZING, the Three Muskateers saga is always gripping and the story is exciting and moving.
Best Line: "Wear until you love it! And die in it."

6. Brokedown Palace- wanna see Claire Danes in a great movie? This has got to be the most underated movie ever. It moves me to tears every time I see it. A must see. Get it in the 5.50 bin at Wal-Mart.
Best Line: "If i say it was the truth, you'll hate me. And if I say I lied, then when you go home and all the time that you're there you won't be happy. So lets just say it was the right thing to do okay? Lets just leave it at that."

7. The Haunting (the original 60's version)- The only truly scary movie I have ever seen.  Watch it with the lights out.
Best Line: "In the night, in the dark."
8. William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet- Baz Luhrman's take on Shakespeare in this modernized Romeo and Juliet. Its like Romeo and Juliet-the music video, its awesome.
Best Line: "Prodigious birth of love it is to me that I must love a loathed enemy."

9. City of Angels- This amazing movie will change how you think about Angels and leave you with something you cant quite explain. Nicholas cage gives a stellar performance.
Best Line:"Some things are true whether you believe in them or not."

10. A Walk to Remember-another sappy love flick but it's so good. It's a love story featuring no sex! None at all. Just real, true innocent love.
 
11. Just Married-It;s so fricken funny you just might pee your pants. It's everyhting that could go wrong on a honeymoon or in a relationship with hilarious results.
 
12. Terminator 2: Judgement Day-yep it's 2003 and I just saw this movie. So good, humor, action and drama and Arnold. Quite possibly the best action movie I have ever seen.
Best Line: "I know now why you cry."
13. Head Over Heels- you might dismiss this as a dumb Freddie Prinze Jr. movie but it really is so good. Monica Potter plays Amanda a klutz who finds herself living with four hilarious models. When she thinks she sees a murder she must team up with her roomates to solve the crime and find out what find of guy Freddie really is.
 
14. Face/Off-this movie has EVERYTHING you could ask for in one movie. Suspense, action, gore, mystery, drama, romance. Nicholas Cage and John Travolta are amazing as each of them takes a turn playing the good guy and the pyscho.
 
15. Freaky Friday- In this surprisingly good movie, Lindsey Lohan and Jamie lee Curtis play a mother and daughter who can't see eye to eye. When a fourtune cookie forces them to switch bodies they have to be each other and learn to respect each other. Very funny and the music is awesome.
16. Mallrats- a bunch of kids loafing around a mall having the most dramatic of days. So Funny!
Best Line: "That kid is back on the escalator again!"
