From bottom to top in order of viewing:
- Breakfast at Tiffany's - How can you not like Audrey Hepburn in this classic? Super quirky girl. I want to get a vintage poster of her.
- Persepolis - Excellent storytelling with a historical/political slant
- 2046 - Lovely visuals
- Babel - One international event weakly links 4 other stories. Must watch.
- Chungking Express - Love this! Faye Wong is very likeable. Except when she goes into stalker mode. Only slightly creepy. But still likeable.
- A Clockwork Orange - Interesting issues presented, if you can see past the violence and heavy sexual references. Might turn off a lot of people from the first 20 minutes or so.
- 881 - Ah lian-ness. Very very extravagant costumes.
- Singing in the Rain - Oh. My. Goodness. This is the best! Too many things to say about this. Just too awesome.
- Donnie Darko - I so did not understand this at all. It's like Butterfly Effect except waaaaay too subtle in what's going on. So not obvious.
- In The Mood For Love - I actually did not know that this was a "prequel" to 2046. Which explains a lot. Love the old film grain feel and Maggie Cheung is ever so elegant.
- La Chinoise - Waaaay too much political theory and so not understand most of what they are talking about. Interesting cinematography though and there was one conversation that resembled a lot of the confrontation seen in Lei Yuan Bin's White Days, the clash of two ideologies, which I like.
- おくりびと (Departures) - Wonderful soundtrack and pieces written by none other than Joe Hisaishi. Paying respects to the dead has never looked so meaningful, even if you are just the encoffiner. Somewhat predictable but still good to watch. Plus eye candy that is Ryoko Hirosue.
- Beneath Clouds - The Australian outback looks really good here. Pretty slow movie and takes a little getting used to the heavy-ishly thick Australian accent.

The Low Orbit Ion Cannon (LOIC) has such a cool name. And scary too. Just 800 computers needed to bring down Mastercard and 1000 for Visa using this.
