American Beauty - Sam Mendes (1999)
Sam Mendes is widely known for only three productions: Road to Perdition (2002), American Beauty (1999), and James Bond - Skyfall (2012). He is a born talent, able to carry in his back everything authentic in the re-dramatization of musicals such as Cabaret (1994), and Oliver! (1994), Company (1996), Gypsy (2003), Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2013), and the famous Donmar Warehouse in Covent Garden - West End - London owe much of its worldwide glory to him.

Forrest Gump – Robert Zemeckis (1994)
I've never met anyone like Forrest Gump in a movie before, and for that matter, I've never seen a movie quite like "Forrest Gump." Any attempt to describe him will risk making the movie seem more conventional than it is, but let me try. It's a comedy, I guess. Or maybe a drama. Or a dream.

Gravity - Alfonso Cuaron (2013)
"Gravity" is a science fiction film with exceptional electronic processing, present in 80 out of the 91 minutes of the projection. It is a film that must be seen in 3D and only with a sound processor suitable for the number of channels for which the soundtrack was made. The renowned special effects company Framestore Oxford Street from England took three years to produce the digital processing and a whole host of single-use equipment was built specifically for key scene filming.

Kung Fu Hustle -Stephen Chow (2004)
"This movie…it’s like Jackie Chan and Buster Keaton meet Quentin Tarantino and Bugs Bunny." I don't like martial arts movies, I consider China a country that doesn't have much to say in cinematography, and I don't like directors who play the main roles in their own movies, according to their own scripts... (with a few exceptions... Citizen Kane among them...)

Dark Shadows - Tim Burton (2012)
Since we've already delved into the outskirts of cinema with Kung Fu Hustle, why not talk about vampire movies as well? It's a significant segment with dedicated, faithful, and steady audiences (unlike myself, who feels no affinity toward it).

Pan's Labyrinth - Guillermo del Toro (2006)
It's about obsessions, the balance between good and evil, the huge dimension of any story, reality, and imagination, about their relationships and hierarchy. It's a fairy tale with fairies and monsters built from dreams and daydreams, opposed to extreme but concrete events, in an ambiguous escapist commitment. Visceral, terrifying frames, the indispensable blue-green/amber (Torro brand) alternations, grandeur, surrealism, historical allegory, mythical and religious level, horrors of war; compose an extensive metaphor in which nothing is more present than the expressive.
