The Last Great Movie You've Seen - Part 1

I'll definitely check out Frozen in the next couple of weeks once the holidays slow down.
 
Frozen
Saving Mr. Banks
The Desolation of Smaug
 
Saving Mr. Banks. Nice old fashioned film and Tom Hanks is fantastic as Disney.
Also maybe not last great movie I've seen but last great character I've seen: Smaug in The Hobbit. DOS.
 
I saw a few great ones:
- Captain Phillips
- Saving Mr. Banks
- The Wolf of Wall Street
- Blue Jasmine
 
Seven Psychopaths. What a brilliantly weird and clever film.
 
No Country For Old Men- I showed it to my fiance' a couple of days ago, and I was so thrilled that she not only loved it, but immediately got it. She understood the game it was playing, the points it was making, the themes it was immersed in. I love her to death. Anywho, I think this one of THE great movies. Like, Seven Samurai-Citizen Kane-Taxi-Driver-Apocalypse Now-all-time GREAT. There isn't one performance or even line reading that falls flat. Every cut is perfectly timed down to the nano-second, every shot perfectly composed. The sound design and mixing is some of the best I've ever heard (seriously, if I ever taught a class on sound in film, we would spends weeks on this movie). And Anton Chigurgh? Jesus. I've seen this movie probably a dozen times now and that character still scares me. He's the greatest villain of all time. Everything from his philosophical grounding to his costume design/haircut is dead-on the money. No Country For Old Men is perfect cinema.
 
Wolf Of Wall Street and American Hustle
