It's time for another Thursday Movie Picks, the weekly series hosted by Wandering Through the Shelves. The rules are very simple, each Thursday we pick three to five films to fit the week's theme.
This week is pretty self-explanatory so I'll leave you with my picks
This week is pretty self-explanatory so I'll leave you with my picks
Little Miss Sunshine (2006)
Olive is a seven-year-old with one goal, to win a beauty pageant. In order to achieve that, she takes a cross-country trip with her dysfunctional family. Needless to say, it'll be a bumpy trip. This is one of the most brilliant dark comedies ever made. It's as charming and sweet as its leading actress, Abigail Breslin.
Memento (2000)
Leonard is a man with a huge problem, his short-term memory has been destroyed and he takes note and Polaroid photos to keep track of what happens to him over the course of a day. He also has one goal, to find the man who raped and murdered his wife. Nolan's made a lot of fantastic movies but this one is easily my favourite. It's twisted and intriguing and Guy Pearce is fantastic.
The Usual Suspects (1995)
Verbal Kint is one of the only two survivors of a massacre at the Port of Los Angeles and when interrogated by the police, he tells a story about the events that led him and his partners on that ship and about a mysterious Turkish criminal known by the name of Keyser Söze. If you still haven't seen this one please watch it asap, it's a fantastic neo-noir with fantastic performances and one of the best plot twists ever. This one is also one of my all-time favourites.
