My 10 favorite Art and Independent Films from the last five years.

Hi :)

So I don't know about you, but I love art films. I can't get enough of them. I love movies in general, but art films especially because they stick with me. I love getting new ideas and drooling over beautiful acting and clothes, but most of all I love all the innovative stories. Sigh.

Here are my top 10 favorites from the last five years.

#1. Never Let Me Go

Rating: R

This movie was lovely. It had a sortof choking depth through the whole thing that kept you from feeling happy, but in a way that wasn't unpleasant. It was extremely thought provoking and I thought about it for days afterword.

#2. The King's Speech

Rating: R

I loved this movie! It was hilarious and poignant. Colin Firth plays his role with such brilliance and dignity.

#3. Bright Star

Rating: PG

Oh, this is such a beautiful movie. Gorgeous clothing and styling and fantastic acting. The story is breathtaking and so sad...

#4. Coco Before Chanel

Rating: PG-13

This movie is so inspirational! Audrey Tautou is lovely as Coco Chanel and the clothes are to die for. And it's in french, which makes it all the more wonderful!

#5. The Young Victoria

Rating: PG

Wow, what a beautiful story this is! The romance between Queen Victoria and Prince Albert is so amazing and I love the historical pieces of this movie.

#6. Me and Orson Welles

Rating: PG-13

A fun movie. :) Zac Efron does a good ol' job with his young character Richard who "makes it big" in a production of Julius Ceasar. Claire Danes is fantastic as usual.

#7.An Education

Rating: PG-13

Loved this movie. Carey Mulligan is so beautiful and does a great job portraying a young schoolgirl looking to grow up a little too fast. The clothes in this movie are incredible!

#8. Ballet Shoes

Rating: PG

What a sweet movie. A gentle story and good acting make this easy to watch, and I adore movies about old-time theater!

#9.Phoebe In Wonderland

Rating: PG-13

This movie is eclectic and eye opening. Elle Fanning plays a little girl struggling with a disorder known as Tourette's syndrome.

#10. Bella

Rating: PG-13

This movie is beautiful and sad, but so full of redemption and forgiveness. It shows that even when an earth-shattering event threatens to tear up your life, it's still possible to find hope and light again.

Yay for amazing movies. :) Have a great Thursday everyone!
