My top 10 movies

1. Inception 
It's simply brilliant.



2. A Beautiful Mind 
Touching true story about a brilliant mathematician John Nash, who has schizophrenia. Especially Russell Growe's performance as Nash is memorable.






3. The Phantom of the Opera 
It based on Gaston Leroux's classic
novel and Andrew Lyod Webber's popular musical. Story lean mainly great songs, which remain spinning in your mind.



4. Angels and Demons 
It based on Dan Brown's first Robert Langdon -novel, which I think is the best of them. It's a thrilling story about encounter of science and religion. In the major part is Tom Hanks as Robert Langdon and my personal favourite, Ewan McGregor, as Camerlengo.
 
5. Sherlock Holmes 
Guy Rithcie's vision about Conan Doyle's characters is fresh, exciting and funny. This time Holmes and Watson aren't middle-aged men.





6. Tim Burton's Corpse Bride 
Gloomy stop-motion-animation by Tim Burton. It's so weird that it can't be anything but great entertaiment.








7. Shutter Island
It based on well constructed novel by Dennis Lehane. It's a thrilling story about sanity and insanity.

8. Nightmare Before Christmas
Weird but fun tale about Halloween and Christmast. It's directed by Tim Burton just like in Corpse Bride.







9. Mouling Rouge 
To this musical is selected many very popular songs from 'The Sound of Music' to 'Like a Virgin'. And there is Ewan McGregor singing.





10. The Men Who Stare at Goats 
It's so weird, but also so hilarious.








+ 11. Ghost Writer 
I have to put this to here, because in this movie has the most brilliant end that I have ever seen.
