So I was looking at the list of movies I watched in 2017
and I'm surprised to see that it's really short.
I know that there are a lot of movies that I didn't go see
but that I'm sure I would have liked.
Wonder Woman.
But did it came out this year or last year?
I didn't go see the last Thor either.
I started to avoid Marvel after the last Captain America.
But I will see Black Panther.
So the movies I've seen this year: Moonlight by Barry Jenkins.
I also went to see Logan by James Mangold.
I really, really liked it.
I also watched Mystère à la Tour Eiffel by Léa Fazer
because I saw gifs of this movie on Tumblr.
It was a disappointment.
I also watched Neruda by Pablo Larrain.
And I remember that it was in a plane in April,
they had this movie and I watched it. It was really great.
But I have almost no memories of it.
I also watched Mojave by William Monahan.
I watched this movie just for Oscar Isaac.
I think it's the worse movie I've ever watch-.
Next I watched Annie by Will Gluck because
I wasn't able to watch it when it came out so I watched it when it was available on Netflix.
I really liked it.
Next I watched Okja by Bong Joon-ho.
Really this movie is awesome. Wonderful. Incredible. One of the best movies I've seen this year.
Next I watched Baby Driver by Edgar Wright.
Snowpiercer by Bong Joon-ho.
The same director who made Okja.
Snowpiercer is good but I was a bit disappointed
because I was waiting for something absolutely incredible.
All the reviews I'd read about this movie said that it was completely fantabulous.
So now I would like to talk about my favorite movies.
Which movies I really love with an unconditional love.
Which movies make me feel good, inspire me.
The first movie on my list is a Ghibli movie and it's Spirited Away by Hayao Miyazaki.
Spirited Away is magical. I could watch this movie a thousand times
and still be taken away by the adventures of the first character,
taken away by the animation, the music, everything, everything.
This movie is magic.
There are a lot of Ghibli movies that I adore,
for example The Castle In The Sky.
I also really like Nausicaä from the Valley of the Wind.
I also have a lot of affection for Kiki's Delivery Service,
Marnie which is one of the last Ghibli movies
and which always make me cry all the tears in my body.
But Spirited Away... Spirited Away is magic.
The second movie on my list is My Own Private Idaho by Gus Van Sant.
And if you're in my friends circle, you're probably not surprised.
This movie is on my list of favorite movies since the first time I watched it.
I was maybe 13 or 14.
And since then, nothing was ever capable of dislodging this movie from this favorite list.
And yet, I've probably seen it a thousand times,
but it still makes me feel the same emotions, the same
empathy and emotional distress for Mike, the first character.
The same twinge of sorrow when Mike tells Scott that he loves him
during this famous campfire scene.
I'm taking out my cup of tea incognito.
It's becoming a meme on this channel.
The end of My Own Private Idaho is so terrible,
in the sense that it leaves the story of the first character unresolved
but in such situation that it doesn't promise anything positive.
And it's so painful because he so doesn't deserve this.
The third movie on my list is another classic and it's the movie
Pride and Prejudice by Joe Wright.
Someone really needs to explain this movie to me.
Someone needs to explain what is this thing that this movie has
that puts it above everything.
I've read the book Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
and I hated it.
I disliked most of the characters, I disliked the love story,
I also disliked the way the youngest sisters are treated in this book.
I know the webserie The Lizzie Bennet Diaries.
It's an adaptation of Pride and Prejudice on Youtube
and it's really good and it finally gives justice to Lydia and her story.
But I don't like it as much as Joe Wright's movie.
This movie makes me like this story.
There is in this movie a magic that I can't explain.
I don't know if this magic comes from the actors.
I don't know if it comes from Keira Knightley's beautiful smile.
Or from the grumpy demeanor of the actor playing Darcy whom I can never remember the name.
Matthew Macfadyen!
I don't know if it's the setting, I don't know if it's the music.
It's probably the music. The music is so beautiful.
I don't know if it's the staging.
Darcy, miserable under the rain, telling a furious Elizabeth that he is in love with her.
I don't know if it comes from this last scene at the end of the movie,
when Darcy walks toward Elizabeth, the sun rising behind him,
the smog spreading out to reveal him.
The fourth movie on my list is actually 3 movies,
and it's the trilogy Pirates of the Caribbean.
Those movies are the movies that I watch when I'm sad
and want to laugh a bit.
They never fail to succeed.
I can watch the insane chase from the second movie
560 000 times and still be completely into it.
Those movies are the movies that make you want to live like never before,
well they are the movies that make me want to live like never before.
There's also in Pirates of the Caribbean, in my opinion, some magic,
in the three first Pirates of the Caribbean, in the three only Pirates of the Caribbean,
a sort of magic that doesn't exist in any others movies.
And finally the last movie on my list is Inception by Christopher Nolan.
Same thing, I probably watched this movie a thousand times but I still have
the heart beating super fast when they are doing this inception in that part
of the movie that is one hour long but only lasts a few minutes in the actual story.
I still jump when the first character's wife, Leonardo Di Caprio's wife, Marion Cotillard,
attacks him in this hotel room.
And I still don't care about the signification of the top still spinning at the end.
All my friends have watched Inception,
and if you're one of my friend and you haven't watch it,
Soon you will have.
And that's it, that was the five movies that I love from an unconditional love.
Today, the 10th of December 2017.
Maybe tomorrow it will be different.
Well maybe not. Maybe in a year, the list will be different
because maybe I would have watched more movies in 2018.
But for now, this is my list.
What are your magical movies?
You can tell me in the comments just below.
And thank you for watching this video, thank you for following me during this Vlogmas adventure.
I really have a lot of fun even if I always look completely tired in my videos.
If you have questions or videos you would like to see, don't hesitate.
And that's it.
I will see you tomorrow, bye!
I find it interesting that this list is so white and american.
