I have a really hard time choosing from these 3 great films
Traffic
Family Man
Unbreakable
Traffic is one of those movies that "curves" the entire medium, you might not remember this (because for now that type of directing has become just common) but at the time Soderberg broke every directing rule by directing the way he did this movie, every shot was handheld, very rough looking, his choosing of filters to tell each individual story was unique, the realism of his directing, this movie was awesomely directed, and apparently other important people saw this too as Soderberg took the Academy Award that year for directing. If its on filmmaking merits alone, this movie should take it
Unbreakable is in my opinion the best super hero movie made in the last 20 years, fuck Marvel with all their stupid fantasy shit!! This is how super heroes movies start! the building of the character, the building of the villain, the twist at the end, this movie was awesome!
Finally Family Man holds a VERY special place for me because to me it shows how I have grown over the years, when I first saw this movie I remember thinking how "selfish" was the Tea Leoni character, how can she not let him have everything that is important in life!... I remember thinking that.... I saw the movie again after 13-15 years again and fuck man... I got goosebumps seeing how much I had changed, how fucking stupid was Nicolas Cage, he had everything in his life to be happy, everything that is important in life, and he was risking everything for what! for his stupid ego??? shit man! this movie hit me hard.... and since the thread is called "your FAVORITE movie...." then I voted for this one. How this movie made me see my own life and my own self is amazing
