Hello ! I'm Catherine from Quebec, Canada. I don't have any talent in arts but i loooove it ! I adore music and movies and I'd like to have suggestions of movies i should watch. I named a lot of movies i loved in my descriptions but i'll name a couple of them here! Cashback, Control, 500 days of summer, big fish.
As directors, i love Danny Boyle, Martin Scorsese, Christopher Nolan, Quentin Tarantino, Tim Burton and so many more.

By the way, I speak english and french so feel free to write me in either languages !
See ya !
Cath
 
Hello!

Have you watched everything by Scorcese, Burton, Boyle and Tarantino yet?
If not, id do that.
Based on those 4 directors, u might like Brian DePalma, Guy Ritchie and McG.
(ok, McG was a joke!)

And if u want to know which movies to watch in general, id say the imdb top 250 is a basic list to start although the results are kind of skewed for the movies made post 1999 in there.
try the AFI 100 list.
with these lists, ull get a general scope of movies and then can pick out the styles or directors ur more interested in and watch other movies made by them.
 
Movie Suggestions for Catherine

That's such a wide-open query, but I always like to suggest the following- Tarantino's "Reservoir Dogs", gritty, bloody, violent, but unbelievably great dialogue that made Quentin a star; "The Commitments", a Danny Boyle (I think) movie about an Irish band trying to revive Soul music. It's an acquired taste, but the music is phenomenal; "Love Actually"- a Hugh Grant and many others movie. I'm not a rom/com guy, but this is the best of the best. Target this one for the holiday (Xmas) season!

Ditto.

Set design, costuming, location scout, makeup, there's so many things, I'm sure you're talented at one of them. Heck, for all we know, you could be the World's Greatest Boom-op in the waiting.

I'm gonna toss out a few documentaries that you maybe haven't seen.

"Why We Fight" would otherwise be your classically-boring "talking-heads" style of documentary, but the subject matter is so meticulously documented, that I find it to be a fascinating revelation.

"Waltz with Bashir" is a visual masterpiece, stunningly beautiful, and full of emotion.

My absolute favorite -- "Born into Brothels". Don't be fooled by the subject-matter -- you might expect it to be depressing. On the contrary, though there are a few sad moments, overrall it's an absolutel joy -- an incredible story about hope and opportunity.

Haha thanks for the suggestions. I actually have reservoir dogs and love actually. I adored both movies they're simply incredible. In Reservoir dogs, the dialogue about tips was so funny ! And love actually is so cute but yet not cheasy. I'll watch Commitments when I can! ^^
