This year marks the 10 year anniverary o f these movies, making it a good time to remind everyone the importance of these films. It is this writer’s opinion that the following films are a mandatory watch for film students and college students in general. 1. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Creative dynamos Michel Gondry and Charlie Kaufman pair up to tell a love story so engrossing and intricate that it’s almost necessary to watch it twice. The story, told creatively in reverse, follows Joel (a somber Jim Carrey) through a post break-up med- memories o f ex-girlfriend Clementine (Kate Winslet). Carrey and Winslet blend palatable comedy and sweet, genuine drama to create two misfit characters you can’t help but root for. 2 . 1 Heart Huckabees Jason Schwartzman nails his best lead role since g ^ u s n ^ ^ O in this perfect cbmetlic story of a young man’s ek^ H wal crisis. Lily Tomlin and Dustin Hoffman pair up as <existential detec tives to solve the cases of a young environmentalist (Schwartzman,) a post-9/11 fireman (Mark Wahlberg,) a sexy spokeswoman (Naomi Watts,) and a savvy corpo rate climber (Jude Law). Everything from the costume design, the amazing cast, to the spot-on script by Jeff Baena and David O. Russell make this film one of the best alternative comedies of all tim e.| Bowie"^Bgs. sung by Seu Jorge. 4 . Man op “Man on Fire” is a gritty masterpiece about a young girl (Dakota Fanning) and Creasy (Denzel Washingon) a former assassin hired by her parents to protect her from the dangers of Mexico City. The action, suspense, and cringe-worthy violence provides a backdrop for a script that is at heart about love, friendship, and ven geance. Tony Scott’s styl ized direction and Brian Helgeland’s brilliant adapta tion create an action movie about more than superficial explosions and car chases. 5 . Shaun Of the Dead Following “Dawn o f the Dead”, which had been released the same year, Simon Pegg, Edgar Wright, and Nick Frost struck gold with a smart parody about two friends clumsily surviv ing a zombie apocalypse. The relatively low produc-' tion budget of $6 million stretched well across the CiriH tTvf* T a o n ia r mp1 iimen /■ 're g n a n t r e p o r t e r (Cate Blanchett) and a crew script and an amazing cask including Willem Dafoe, The movie’s successes led to Anjelica Huston and Owen a continuation of this partner Wilson follow Zissou to the ship in later films “Hot Fuzz” depths of the sea and beyond, (2007) and “The World’s soundtracked by beautiful End” (2013).

The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou Any fan of auteur direc tor Wes Anderson knows that his dry, stylized take on comedy is one of a kind. “The Life Aquatic” is no exception io that standard. It takes place on a Cousteau- esque expedition lead by Steve Zissou (Bill Murray) Get to know the code Here at The Clackamas Print, we love being able to help any bro or bro-dette with their everyday “bro-tastic” problems.
