F06 :: Feminist Film Studies

Hey everyone! I had a difficult time coming up with only ten movies that I love. I think that any movie I choose to watch more than once I love for different reasons. A few of my most favorite are the movies I remember from my childhood. Growing up in my country, Tajikistan, we were exposed to movies from all over the world. In the USA if I want to find a foreign movie I have to track it down on the internet. They are not as readily available as the American made movies. Well, here it goes (in no particular order):

1.Sex & the City – I love the tribulations of the lives of the single women in the big city and friendships that become a journey through life.

2.Breakfast at Tiffany’s – I just love Audrey Hepburn, talk about a woman icon in the film industry.

3.Mary Poppins – The Russian version is more appealing to me, maybe because I grew up watching it.

4.For Richer or Poorer – There is something to be said about a good mindless comedy flick.

5.Memoirs of a Geisha – I don’t even know where to start…This movie just touches me on so many levels.

6.Diamond Arm (Russian movie, Brilliantovaya Ryka) – In my opinion, the best Russian comedy there ever was. This movie is about 30 years old and after 20 years of watching it, I still end up rolling on the floor from laughter.

7.I Love You (Hindu, Man Tyro Dyst Medoram) – A creation from Bollywood about love. Very sappy but I still love it.

8.Three Heroes (Hindu, Tri Dev) – Another creation from Bollywood with colorful music and dance that most Hindu movies possess and some action.

9.Run Lola Run – This movie kept me “on the edge of my seat� the whole time. Its complexity relayed to me the complexity behind the main character.

10.Finding Nemo – It is the cutest animated movie I have ever seen. I just love that little clown fish!
