Några filmer man skulle kunna kalla fantastiska mästerverk, eller i alla fall väldigt väldigt bra. Om ni frågar mig.
Some movies that are well... pretty much what we call - masterpiece, or at least very very good. If you ask me.
#1
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind
"Valentine's Day is a holiday invented by greeting card companies to make people feel like crap."
"Sand is overrated. It's just tiny, little rocks."
"Blessed are the forgetful, for they get the better even of their blunders."
#2
Le fabuleux destin d'Amelie Poulain
"At least you'll never be a vegetable - even artichokes have hearts."
"If Amélie chooses to live in a dream-world and remain an introverted young woman, she has every right to mess up her life!"
"Nino is late. Amelie can only see two explanations. 1 - he didn't get the photo. 2 - before he could assemble it, a gang of bank robbers took him hostage. The cops gave chase. They got away... but he caused a crash. When he came to, he'd lost his memory. An ex-con picked him up, mistook him for a fugitive, and shipped him to Istanbul. There he met some Afghan raiders who too him to steal some Russian warheads. But their truck hit a mine in Tajikistan. He survived, took to the hills, and became a Mujaheddin. Amelie refuses to get upset for a guy who'll eat borscht all his life in a hat like a tea cozy. "
#3
Babel
"This is your fucked-up country, it's your responsibility!"
"
My mom said Mexico is dangerous.
Yes, it's full of Mexicans."
"I'm deaf, not blind!"
#4
Pan's Labyrinth
"You're getting older, and you'll see that life isn't like your fairy tales. The world is a cruel place. And you'll learn that, even if it hurts."
"And it is said that the Princess returned to her father's kingdom. That she reigned there with justice and a kind heart for many centuries. That she was loved by her people. And that she left behind small traces of her time on Earth, visible only to those who know where to look."
"The men in his battalion said that when General Vidal died on the battlefield, he smashed his watch on a rock so that his son would know the exact hour and minute of his death. So he would know how a brave man dies."
#5
Juno
"You should've gone to China, you know, 'cause I hear they give away babies like free iPods. You know, they pretty much just put them in those t-shirt guns and shoot them out at sporting events."
"Yeah, I'm a legend. You know, they call me the cautionary whale."
"Oh, and she inexplicably mails me a cactus every Valentine's Day. And I'm like, "Thanks a heap coyote ugly. This cactus-gram stings even worse than your abandonment.""
#6
V for Vendetta
"Remember, remember the fifth of november."
"But if you see what I see, if you feel as I feel, and if you would seek as I seek, then I ask you to stand beside me one year from tonight, outside the gates of Parliament, and together we shall give them a fifth of November that shall never, ever be forgot."
"But again, truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty you need only look into a mirror."
"A building is a symbol, as is the act of destroying it. Symbols are given power by people. A symbol, in and of itself is powerless, but with enough people behind it, blowing up a building can change the world."
#7
Inception
"Dreams feel real while we're in them. It's only when we wake up that we realize something was actually strange."
"You're waiting for a train, a train that will take you far away. You know where you hope this train will take you, but you can't be sure. But it doesn't matter - because we'll be together."
"You mind telling your subconscious to take it easy?"
#8
Garden State
"Wow! I cannot believe you're not retarded!"
"I know it hurts. That's life. If nothing else, It's life. It's real, and sometimes it fuckin' hurts, but it's sort of all we have."
"It's amazing how much of my life has been determined by a quarter inch piece of plastic."
#9
Fantastic Mr Fox
"Honey, I am seven fox years old. My father died at seven and a half. I don't want to live in a hole anymore, and I'm going to do something about it."
"Redemption? Sure. But in the end, he's just another dead rat in a garbage pail behind a Chinese restaurant."
"They say all foxes are slightly allergic to linoleum, but it's cool to the paw - try it. They say my tail needs to be dry cleaned twice a month, but now it's fully detachable - see? They say our tree may never grow back, but one day, something will. Yes, these crackles are made of synthetic goose and these giblets come from artificial squab and even these apples look fake - but at least they've got stars on them. I guess my point is, we'll eat tonight, and we'll eat together. And even in this not particularly flattering light, you are without a doubt the five and a half most wonderful wild animals I've ever met in my life. So let's raise our boxes - to our survival"
#10
Big Fish
"I know better than to argue romance with a French woman."
"There are some fish that cannot be caught. It's not that they're faster or stronger than other fish. They're just touched by something extra."
"A man tells his stories so many times that he becomes the stories. They live on after him, and in that way he becomes immortal."
"There comes a point when any reasonable man will swallow his pride and admit he made a mistake. The truth is... I was never a reasonable man."
"The grass so green. Skies so blue. Spectre is really great!"
#11
Romeo and Juliet
"And when I shall die, take him and cut him up in little stars, and he will make the face of heaven so fine that all the world will fall in love with night and pay no worship to the garish sun."
"Thy drugs are quick. Thus with a kiss I die."
"Death, that hath sucked the honey of thy breath, hath had no power yet upon thy beauty."
#12
Pride and Prejudice
"And those are the words of a gentleman? From the moment I met you your aroggance and conceit and your selfish disdain for the feelings of other made me realize that you are the last man in the world I could ever be prevailed upon to marry."
"Either you are in each other's confidence and have secret affairs to discuss, or you are conscious that your figures appear to the greatest advantage by walking. If the first, I should get in your way. If the second, I can admire you much better from here."
"You mistake me, my dear. I have the utmost respect for your nerves. They've been my constant companion these twenty years."
#13
Dead Poet Society
"O Captain, my Captain. Who knows where that comes from? Anybody? Not a clue? It's from a poem by Walt Whitman about Mr. Abraham Lincoln. Now in this class you can either call me Mr. Keating, or if you're slightly more daring, O Captain my Captain."
"I SOUND MY BARBARIC YAWP OVER THE ROOFTOPS OF THE WORLD."
"Welton Academy, hello. Yes he is, just a moment. Mr. Nolan, it's for you. It's God. He says we should have girls at Welton."

#15
Kill Bill
"Thought that was pretty fuckin' funny didn't you? Word of advice, shithead - don't you ever wake up."
"I might never have liked you. Point of fact, I despise you. But that doesn't suggest I don't respect you. Dying in our sleep is a luxury our kind is rarely afforded. My gift to you."
"I am finished doing what I swore an oath to God 28 years ago to never do again. I've created, "something that kills people." And in that purpose, I was a success. I've done this because, philosophically, I am sympathetic to your aim. I can tell you with no ego, this is my finest sword. If on your journey, you should encounter God, God will be cut."
About me | Kommentarer (17)
This blog is written by a seventeen year old girl named Angelina Belle Bergenwall, living off sunshine, pretty clothes and sushi. 
Today I'm turning 19. Which isn't the most exciting number but still, it's a birthday. I celebrated by eating Prinssesstårta (Princess cake, which is a delicious Swedish pastry, don't know if you have it abroad). And tea of course.
