My Favorite Movies, Part 1 of ?

Recently, Hannah made a post of clips from some of her favorite movies, and it got me all excited to do the same. I can't even remember a time when movies weren't a central part of my life, I always tear up at least once during the Oscars, and being a Film Studies major means I get to spend many of my days sitting in the dark watching light take the shape of strange, beautiful, perplexing stories.

So here are some little chunks of a few films that mean a lot to me. I'm sure I'm making many vast oversights that I'll remember as I'm trying to fall asleep tonight, so you can definitely look forward to a part two (three? Four?)...



Harold and Maude (Hal Ashby, 1971)




Badlands (Terrence Malick, 1975)




Rushmore (Wes Anderson, 1998)




Black Cat, White Cat (Emir Kusturica, 1998)




The Passenger/Professione: reporter (Michelangelo Antonioni, 1975)
