Impossible not to love this movie. It's like candy for your eyeballs. I recommend watching it twice ~ the subtitles make it a little difficult to pick up on all the nuances.

The Social Network

Such great filmmaking. Everything is on point, but the score shines especially. I couldn't help but watch it twice in two days. The Asian girlfriend literally gave me nightmares.

My favorite movie of recent memory. The wonderful actors are hilarious and touching at the same time, and the story is wild. I want to watch it over and over.

Amazing. The best movie I've seen in a long time. Inspiring.

So inspiring I went through the whole blog post by post and put a "10" as a keyword for all films anyone has rated a 10. This way you can search for "10" to find some great movies.
