Groundhog day

This has to be one of my favorite movies of all time. This was one of Bill Murray's best roles. He was definitely one of the best actors to pick to play an arrogant asshole. He would act as if he was better than everyone else and more sophisticated as well. My favorite scene in the movie has to be when he memorized everything that is supposed to happen during the day so he was able to easily steal the money from the truck. On the IMDB trivia for this movie, it said that the screen write wanted him to repeat the same day for ten thousand years but they later made it only three years. Also the scene when Bill smashes the clock against the floor, it really did keep playing that song even though it was broken. Just a funny thing to know.

Goldfinger

To be honest, this is the first 007 movie i have ever seen. Whenever i tell my friends this, its always hard for them to understand how that can be true because i watch so many movies. I basicaly expected this movie to be somewhat poorly directed but I did think Shawn acted great as James Bond. The acting was kind of fake and the decapatating hat was just funny. Theres not much I can say more about this movie except that James Bond is probably the deadliest, super rich ladies man who goes on secret missions to stop terrorists.

Double Indemnity

Right now, I will sadly have to admit that this is one of the first times that my opinion prior to watching a movie was completely different than after i watched it. Usually, I have like a sixth sense when a movie will be good or not but i was one hundred percent off on this one. In my opinion, this movie is very similar to Macbeth where all the women are evil and are able to corrupt even the most humble and honest men. I loved the scene when Walter kills Phyllis's husband and Phyllis doesn't change her emotion or expression on her face at all. Its as if her face is made out of stone and nothing can make her even blink once. I also enjoyed all the mystery and suspicion that was going on throughout the entire film. I would have to rate this in my top 15 favorite movies of all time.
