Reward: eternal fame and EB appreciation
- Four Weddings and a Funeral:
Enjoy life and love, trouble comes in anyway. - Le fabuleux destin de Amelie Poulain
The movie inspires people to see new better inspiring ways by creating games out of simple things, in this case a garden dwarf travelling around the word. Joy is in simple things, imagination creates worlds full of perspectives, play and inspiration. - Pulp Fiction
This is an American neo-noir movie that tells several stories of criminal individuals. Tarantino plays creatively with the different perspectives in the movie – the perspectives of the characters, revealed through monologues and dialogues, new camera angles, and references to other (seminal) works in the history of film. It’s creativity and unconventional structure inspired many other films and media. - Spinal Tap
A tale about a metal band on steroids, since this one goes to 11. - The hateful eight
Nearly a whole film takes place in just one room, so much happened before the encounter of the 8 main persons and so much happens in the room, it is an explosion in the broadest sense of the word. - The life of PI
A mans tells a remarkable story from a seemingly phantasy like perspective…it is unbelievable but true.
