#14 THE PRESTIGE

The Prestige is a fantasy film directed by Christopher Nolan. The film was adapted from Christopher Priest's 1995 Fantasy Award winning novel of the same name. Its a story that follows Robert Angier, played by Hugh Jackman, and Alfred Borden, stage magicians engaging in a rivalry over a stage illusion. The rivalry starts when Alfred Borden, played by Christian Bale, accidentally kills Robert Angier's wife played by Piper Perabo, following that incident both magicians do whatever it takes to steal each others magic tricks. I love this movie because it seems so realistic, it had me thinking that all the events really happened I thought it was based on a true story when I first saw the movie. I loved everything about The Prestige, I liked how every scene had dark lighting because it made the movie seem more dramatic and mysterious. This movie had me trying to guess what would happen next, I like not knowing what is going to happen next in a movie and The Prestige is definitely not a predictable movie. It's also a movie that every one can enjoy watching. It may be a little confusing for some people though but if you watch and pay attention to every detail in the movie you might know what is going on with out having to wait until the end. I really enjoyed watching this movie because I like how at the end every question you had about what happened in the movie is answered by a quick recap of the movie. I liked all the characters in the movie because they were so realistic and the machines that Jackman's character used to do his trick was one of my favorite things about The Prestige. Every one who appreciates great movies such as this one will really enjoy The Prestige and will want to watch it more than once. The Prestige definitely lives up to its name because with all the awards it won it gained a lot of prestige. I strongly recommend every one to go and watch The Prestige because I'm sure any one who watches it will enjoy it.

#13 RUSHMORE

Rushmore is a comedy-drama film about a young teenager named Max Fishcer, played by Jason Schwartzman, that becomes friends with a rich guy named Herman Blume portrayed by Bill Murray, who is much older than him and they both fall in love with an elementary school teacher Rosemary Cross played by Olivia Williams. I didn't really like this movie because I didn't find the plot of the story interesting. There is nothing funny about this movie, every scene was boring, there was no hook to it. Nothing in this movie made me want to keep watching it, I was bored since the beginning of the movie but I kept watching it in hope that it would get better but it never did. I honestly don't understand how critics said this was "the best comedy of the year" in 1998 there is nothing good about this movie it didn't make me laugh not even a grin. I also disagree with what the other critics when they said Rushmore was "the best and most beautiful movie of 1998" I disagree because it really is not a good movie and I doubt that it was the best movie of 1998 because I'm sure there were funnier and better movies in 1998. I didn't find any of the characters funny, I mean sure the main character was funny looking but that is not enough to make a movie a good comedy. Rushmmore is definitely not a movie I would watch more than once because I didnt find anything in the movie funny. I didnt think the plot or the characters were funny. I dont think any one looking to get a good laugh would enjoy watching this movie.I really wouldn't waste my time watching Rushmore again because it just isn't worth it. I don't recommend this movie to anyone who loves comedies because this movie just shouldn't even be considered a comedy, it's not funny at all.

#11 THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a fantasy-drama film and its such an amazing movie. I loved everything from the characters til the last detail in every scene. The whole setup for the movie was great, the make up for Brad Pitt's character Benjamin was so realistic. It makes you really think he really looks like that. The plot for the movie was so good, and different from other movies I have seen. Its amazing how this movie turned out because I normally wouldn't be interested in watching a movie that is not so realistic like this one. I didn't think it was going to be so good with a plot about a boy being born old and instead of growing old he gets younger. I just can't get enough of this movie its so amazing, I never thought I would get to see such an awesome movie. I love how this movie isn't just another romance movie about a couple that falls in love, although Benjamin does have a love interest, Daisy, played by Cate Blanchett, the movie isn't just about them but she does play an important part in this movie. She was great as Benjamin's girlfriend, she did such a great job and Brad Pitt and her made such an outstanding job as a couple in love. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button was such an interesting movie that made every one want to watch it over and over again and I'm sure we will never get over watching it. The movie is just so great you can never watch it enough times. This movie deserves every prestigious award there is because it truly is the best movie of 2008. I definitely recommend every one to watch The Curious Case of Benjamin Button because im sure any one who watches it will really enjoy it and would agree with me that its the best movie ever made.
