INSIDE I’M DANCING
2004
By Damien O’Donnell
104 minutes

This film is a gems ... Much like last year’s in America, the film goes from being extremely funny, to distressing, upsetting, and truly moving without once seeming saccharine sweet.

MY FAIR LADY
1964
By George Cukor
170 minutes

Audrey Hepburn is great in the role. It would be unfair to say that she didn’t deserve the role just because her voice was dubbed. The supporting cast is first rate as well. This film is more than just good, it is great. If you have not seen it yet you certainly should.

TODO SOBRE MI MADRE
(All About My Mother)
1999
By Pedro Almodovar
101 minutes

What Almodovar makes to this movie is just incredible. He makes us cry and laugh- specially in the scenes where the transvestive Agrado is. But, in fact, the film is a deep drama, studying carefully the female universe with strength and realism, and also explaining the importance of a mother.

ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT
1930
By Lewis Milestone
145 minutes

‘All Quiet on the Western Front’ remains one of the must-see movies of its decade, and it’s easy to see why, after all this time, it still has such a firm hold on that classic status - it may have arrived on the scene as far back as 1930, but its emotive edge is timeless.

BIG WEDNESDAY
1978
By John Milius
120 minutes

This truly is Hollywood’s “perfect waves”, the only time the surf culture was portrayed accurately in a studio film. The surf community consistently refers to this film with reverence, citing it’s depiction of the “soul” of surfing as being worthy of their hallowed endeavors in the water.

IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE
1946
By Frank Capra
130 minutes

The message in this film is one of courage and sacrifice for the greater good. The second message is that each life important. No matter how insignificant we feel we are, we are all inextricably linked to each other and play an important part in the fabric of one another’s lives.

21 December 2010
VOLVER
2006
By Pedro Almodovar
121 minutes

Almodovars movies display a wide range of emotions, where a person is a Saint and a Whore, where people laugh and cry at the same time, achieving a sense of truth that other movies seldom touch.

28 December 2010
BAD SANTA
2003
By Terry Zwigoff
91 minutes

The performance of Billy Bob Thornton, makes the film what it is. His foulmouthed, cynical, suicidal character might look two-dimensional on paper, but he finds just the right blend of humor and reality. It’s a masterpiece of dark comedy and the best holiday film of the last 5 years.

“JAIL IN A(U)CTION”

He was arrested on his 24th birthday… a now more matured Myuran lives in remorse for his actions and is working towards contributing to others.

Our intentions are to raise money to help continue and create a self-sustaining concept for re-habilitation projects including painting, design and sculpture workshops. Other initiatives are, silversmithing, kick boxing, graphic-art, sewing and T-shirt printing facilities. The guys are making limited edition T-Shirts and silverworks customized for the event! Some of them will even attend.

LADRI DI BICICLETTE
(Bicycle Thieves)
1948
By Vittorio De Sica
93 minutes

This film remains one of De Sica's greatest achievements. The Bicycle Thief, is based on a very simple ideal for a story- man against the elements. In this case the elements are of a society that is often cruel and unforgiving, and that a job in post-war Rome is looked on as the luckiest of good luck charms.

OLDBOY
2003
By Chan-wook Park
120 minutes

Many people accuse this film of being unrealistic. These people forget that this a film, not a documentary Films have a right to stretch out reality, don't forget the reason it does this is to be entertaining. ATTENTION, THE MOVIE CONTAINS EXTREMELY VIOLENT MATERIAL.

16 November 2010
LAWRENCE OF ARABIA
1962
By David Lean
216 minutes

Yes it is a long film; a very long film. But you know what? I wish it was 3 or 4 times longer. If you haven't seen it yet I envy you, because you get to experience it for the first time.

23 November 2010
ANIMAL HOUSE
1978
By John Landis
109 minutes

This is the best college comedy ever made. Nothing has ever come close to comedic perfection, and never will again. The early bird director John Landis directs this film into greatness bringing stars John Belushi, Tim Matheson, Tom Hulce, Mark Metcalf and Donald Sutherland to the screen in brilliance.

30 November 2010
ROMEO + JULIET
1996
By Baz Luhrmann
120 minutes

Beautifully choreographed and shot, wonderfully acted by both the supporting cast and the main 2 stars, Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes, and extremely sly modernization techniques to the dialogue. All the elizabethan dialogue remains intact, yet it all seems coherent in the modern atmosphere.

Q! FILM FESTIVAL

The significant outcome is that The Human Rights Commission has added the protection towards queer people for the last 2 years. Furthermore, a non-profit organization for advocacy for queer people has been founded last year to accommodate the increasing needs.

Additional Learning: Team Work, Public Speaking, How To Play “Commedia Dell’arte”

Commedia dell'arte , the closest translation being "comedy of art", is a professional form of theatre that began in Italy in the mid-16th century, and was characterized by masked "types", the advent of the actress, and improvised performances based on sketches or scenarios.

While to be true Commedia the actors improvise around a pre-determined plot using stock characters as a guide, the works of several playwrights have been influenced by Commedia dell'arte if not directly featuring it. Perhaps the most famous of which are" Servant of Two Masters" written in 1743 by Carlo Goldoni and "The Tempest" written by William Shakespeare.

DR. STRANGELOVE
1964
By Stanley Kubrick
95 minutes

This movie is possibly the best comedy ever made, only with one fact against it: it's not very comical. Hilarious? Yes. Comical? Absolutely not. The horrors of the nuclear war caused by a simple mistake materialize before us, directed with skill by the late maestro, Kubrick.

12 October 2010
ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOOS NEST
1979
By Milos Forman
133 minutes

SINGING IN THE RAIN
1952
By Stanley Donen, Gene Kelly
103 minutes

When Gene Kelly sings the title piece, somehow time stands still as you're swept up in one of the most memorable scenes in film history. Just reading the title in print has likely caused you to hum a few bars, or sing a few words. Or maybe, just maybe, walk out without an umbrella when you know it's raining.

KRAMER VS KRAMER
1979
By Robert Benton
105 minutes

Everyone in this one turned in a flawless performance in a story dedicated to showing the ugliness of divorce. This is a solid, serious movie but it also has a humorous side as Hoffman deals with fatherhood, completely, for the first time.

7 September 2010
MODERN TIMES
1936
By Charles Chaplin
87 minutes

Chaplin's Modern Times has influenced the 20th century as much as any other film could have. His portrayal of man vs. machine, individual vs. group, love vs. industry...is the framework of classic modern American "anti-progressive" thinking.

14 September 2010
ALIEN
1979
By Ridley Scott
117 minutes

It's amazing that this is over 20 years old - apart from the actors looking so young, the film doesn't feel dated at all. The sci-fi visions here are still bleak and futuristic as they were then.

21 September 2010
CASABLANCA
1942
By Michael Curtiz
102 minutes

Casablanca remains Hollywood's finest moment ... This is the film that played by the rules while elevating the form, and remains the touchstone for those who talk about Hollywood's greatness.

NORTH BY NORTH-WEST
1959
By Alfred Hitchcock
131 minutes

Its Hitch's most briskly entertaining movie, and one of his most comic, adventure-caper type movies, largely thanks to the persona of Cary Grant. But its also one of his most suspenseful - in the fact that Grant is being recognised as someone else, and that he may be put in jail for someone else's crime.

PSYCO
1960
By Alfred Hitchcock
109 minutes

When you look up the phrase Horror Film in the dictionary a picture of Janet Leigh screaming in a shower should appear next to it. The story is incredible. The acting is near perfection. The cinematography is godly. The soundtrack is perfect. It's hard to find anything wrong with Psycho.

This movie is hypnotic. It's operatic. It's sad. It's funny. It's gritty. It's violent. It's art. It's action. It's pure entertainment. The film is just so incredible on so many different levels that EVERYONE should see it. And it's so cool that the greatest flick ever just happens to be a spaghetti western.

THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION

By Frank Darabont
142 minutes

What makes this film one of the best ever made is the message it conveys. It is one of eternal hope. Andy Dufresne, has been sent to prison for a crime he did not commit. But he never loses hope. His years of tenacity, patience and wits keep him not only sane, but it gives his mind and a spirit a will to live.
