Donnie Brasco (1997)


































  An undercover F.B.I agent is infiltrating the Italian mafia. His job takes him so deep inside the criminal organization that he has to make bonds with the people he originally set out to imprison. Eventually, his two faces collide and he starts feeling more "at home" with the mafia than with his previous life...
  Ain't that just right? Aren't we all even a bit fascinated by the wild life? Living outside of the law, bending rules to our own will and desires, leading a double life? Director Mike Newell uses just this plot twist and presents a truly nice and thought-provoking film. The film uses the usual Italian mafia set up with all the comforting cliches and delves deeper into the the mobster persona and all its thrilling ingredients. The good guy turns bad in an identity crisis. What is good and what is bad after all?
  Al Pacino and Johnny Depp ; a weird combination indeed but definitely one that worked. This feels like Depp's qualification test role, as if he is tested for his quality as an actor in order to be given bigger parts afterwards. And Pacino is a hard judge! Michael Madsen is a usual mob face, hard-mofo,with Bruno Kirby following in the same style. Anne Heche is the unlucky wife who can't bare her husband's status quo weight.
Must watch this : right after graduation. It will help you choose path wisely!

Edward Scissorhands (1990)


































  Edward lives in the outskirts of a small American town. up high in a tower. His unique figure doe snot allow him to go out and meet the world ; instead of hands, Edward has scissors. A stroke of luck brings Edward being accepted by a family and venturing his way through modern society...
  Tim Burton uses his secret recipe and brings forth a lovely pre-Christmasy movie. Although, Burton could stay on the beaten track and just make another great weird movie like he always does, he strayed off a bit and delved deeper into social and psychological issues. Scissorhands is a fine depiction of the person in all of us who fights to get accepted in society but most of the times the society is not even ready for this little guy. All in all, a great movie about love, acceptance and being unique!
  There must be something about Depp and his pick of roles. I mean, you can check every one of his films and you will not find a single role as a normal character. He always goes the extreme way and probably that's we like him. Winona Ryder is exquisite as Depp's forbidden love and we would really love to see that happen. And of course, like in any other love story, there is a douchebag he just won't get out of the way, in this case it's Anthony Michael Hall who plays so could that you can hate him!
Must watch this :  on a cold December night, when your fever is running high and you are trying to lose the shakes by wrapping yourself in blankets. Enjoy with a cup of hot chocolate and after the film, weep for your lost loves, if any!

21 Jump Street (2012)


































  Two goofy and ever-failing cops are assigned on a secret mission ; they are to infiltrate a high school as students and put a stop to the rise of a new and dangerous drug that has been making its way to the kids...
  All right, you got me. This is too modern to be considered cult but I beg to differ! Given its cult past already (it used to be a series starring Johnny Depp in the days of yore), 21 Jump Street has all it takes to make it as a classic cult stoner comedy and it should as it is one of the few American comedy films that made me laugh recently. Hats off to directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller for that sixpack-making combination. Drugs? Plenty. Boobs? Could be more. Cheesy humor?Duh! Carefree vibes? Count me in!
  It's nice to see Channing Tatum in something else other than his usual cute-face bullshit. OK, it's not that he changed his career with this film but at least he can take some comedy lessons by not-so-fat-anymore Jonah Hill. The addition of Ice Cube elevates the level of the film and so does that of Dave Franco, Rob Riggle,
Brie Larson and a cameo from Johnny Depp as the a cult reference!
Must watch this : roll a fat one and enjoy this film with the dudes. Laugh your ass off during the Phases scene and cool off with that fucker afterwards.

Dark Shadows (2012)


































  Barnabas Collins, an imprisoned vampire doomed to eternal life, is woken up after a 200-year sleep.  He returns to what his family's house only to find his descendants having dishonored the family name. Trying to set things right, he meets again the woman that cursed him and she once more tries to stop him from finding true love...
  Tim Burton revives a long forgotten television series by the same name that made it big between 1966 and 1971. Being the amazing storyteller that he is, it must have been a piece of cake for Burton to direct this and this is meant both good and bad. For one thing, Dark Shadows is a fun gothicee film with all the right touiches of cult references and a cool soundtrack but at some points it gets too Hollywood even for Burton. Still though, it surely won't make you feel you lost your time!
  Where there's Burton, there's always a hint of Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter and this film is no exception. Depp stars as the dusty vampire trying to settle in the confusing present, Bella Heathcote plays the girl who will make him fall in love again but Eva Green has other plans for that. Helena Bonham Carter, Michelle Pfeiffer, Jonny Lee Miller, Chloë Grace Moretz (dayum) and Gulliver McGrath fill up the rest of the seats on this crazy train!
Must watch this : you should have watched it in the cinema theaters. But if you lost that chance, you can still watch it on DVD on the first rainy days of autumn with a cup of herbal tea or Glühwein.

Rango (2011)


































  Rango, an "ordinary" pet chameleon, finds himself in the Mojave desert, in the town of Dirt, after an accident.For the first time, Rango gets to interact with other living creatures and has to find his true identity while trying to put an end in the misery of his fellow townspeople.
  Gore Verbinski's previous is indeed a bit on the childish side but this film, however juvenile it may seem it holds some serious lessons for adults in it. Through beautiful, fully-digitized animation techniques, Rango manages to get through his messages and create a good-vibe atmosphere for both kids and grown-ups. Extra points for the cheesy old Western films references!
  Johnny Depp in yet another one of his roles as an aloof and weird personality. He is quite enjoyable as the goofy lizard trying to pose as a real man-lizard and so is the rest of the cast; Isla Fisher, Ned Beatty, Alfred Molina, Bill Nighy and Stephen Root. It's also amazing in these films that each character gets to look like the actor-actress that gives their voice for this character. I guess technology never seizes to amaze me.
Must watch this : alone or with your friends for some quality time! Spend time to make a good dish and enjoy with the film and a cold Desperado beer.

Ed Wood (1994)


































  The story of Ed Wood and how he got from a wannabe director, editor, scriptwriter , etc to the worst director of all times. The story explains how he got his first break, his relationship with Bela Lugosi and Vampira, his strange vice to wear women's clothes and how he finally came to make his best worst film.
  Tim Burton decides to take a huge risk and direct the biography (or as close as it can get) of the most notorious filmmaker in the history of world cinema. The movie has a great pace and progress, filled with comedy and weirdness and with enough drama to make you feel melancholic. Interesting narration through the first anxious steps of cinema, an inside view in the problems of film making and funding and a personality that was just too poor for his times and profession.A great film about vanity and how life should be to make your own visions true and not others'.
  Johnny Depp in yet another one of his strange roles and he really does it well. He doesn't try to reenact as Ed Wood himself but he tries to portray the strangeness of his personality in his own way. Sarah Jessica Parker is his first wife and in this film she says the best line of her career. Martin Landau is incredible as horror legend Bela Lugosi while Patricia Arquette, Jeffrey Jones and Bill Murray fill the rest of the seats.
Must watch this : on a cool night after a big dinner at a Mexican restaurant and a couple of Margaritas. Let the story of Ed Wood inspire you into starting your life all over again and making it your own this time and do so with that chillout mothermother as a soundtrack!

Sleepy Hollow (1999)


































  Introvert and socially awkward detective Ichabod Crane is sent to Sleepy Hollow to investigate the the murders of 3 people. All three were beheaded and during his stay there, the bodies start to pile up. Soon, Ichabod will find out that he is in the middle of a carefully planned assassination plan that has much darker motives than he ever thought...
  Tim Burton goes beyond all borders and directs probably the best pure horror movie of the 90's. Creating an eerie web of witchcraft and dark folklore and setting it in an atmosphere where grey is the lightest color, Burton manages to give you the creeps without using any cheap tricks. The amazing photography and carefully executed settings make the film more realistic and so believable.The gloomy mood of the film sets the bar high, takes you by the balls and drags you through its muddy forests.
  Johnny Depp ,sometimes, is more than the pretty boy that every girl loves. He has great talent when it comes to impersonating weird characters and he is the only one who could star in this film for sure. Christina Ricci and Miranda Richardson are equally good in their roles, giving amazingly heavy performances. Michael Gambon and Christopher Walken complete the cast for this masterpiece of modern goth horror film!
Must watch this : on a frightful night when outside there is heavy, unstoppable rain and strong wind. Dim the lights, lights some candles, make some Bloody Mary and enjoy this with your girlfriend in your arms. Let the weather combine with the movie and put you in its creepy mood.

A Nightmare On Elm Street (1984)

  A group of teenagers in a small American town start having very vivid nightmares. They discover that all of them dream of the same man, a slim figure with a burned face and blades on his fingers. When the dreams start getting too real, the truth must come out...
  Wes Craven was already a known reference in his genre when directed this classic film. Exploiting the scary realm of dreams, this film builds up a fantastic atmosphere with thrilling action and lots of blood all along the way. The horror essence of this film lies beautifully on making you think what if it happened to you and it is probably why it was so successful!
  Young Johnny Depp in his big early steps along with Heather Langenkamp, Amanda Wyss and some other people. The acting is somewhat disappointing (for my taste), especially when you get a story like that to acto on. Classic American acting with no sharp edges or waves, just what you paid for ! But don't let that draw you off this film. It is worth the time anyway!
Must watch this : with the entire year from your high school as part of reunion. When everyone remembers how making out feels like, you will get your chance to kill everyone you didn't like back then. Hue hue hue hue!

Dead Man (1995)


































  The wrong man in the wrong time, accountant William Blake ,after losing his chance at a job, gets caught up in a weird situation which results in him killing a man. On the run, trying to survive in the harsh American nature, he meets a Native American called Nobody who prepares for the next step of his life.
  Jim Jarmusch directs this poem of a film, a nostalgic black-and-white dream into the untold stories of the cowboys' era. Unique characters harmonically developed in 115 minutes, imprisoned by the complexes of their confused times (but then again what times weren't confusing?), captivated in an environment that looks out to kill them, all mystically bound together by old-time legends and Indian myths.
  Amazing cast, giving  life-time performances. Johnny Depp and Gary Farmer grab the wheel here with their unique style. Iggy Pop, Billy Bob Thornton, Alfred Molina and other notable actors fill up the rest of the scene and they all make one sick specimen of society. A must-see for anyone who appreciates anything tasteful.
Must watch this : on a windy November afternoon just as the sun sets. Leave the windows open to let the chill in, grab a well-done steak and your poison of choice and watch this alone or with a company that's worth it. Listen to that afterwards and let the darkness and cold take your mind away.
