Sometimes I wonder if I'd be writing more songs if I watched less movies... Ah, but movies are so inspiring! Books, too. But this is about movies.

In the past couple years, while living in New Zealand, I've watched a good share of movies. Some Kiwi made (like Eagle vs Shark - a goodie - and Scarfies, Out of the Blue...), and some foreign films.

I thought I'd share my top 7. Two of them are old, which I'll comment on. But they're all great movies, so if you're looking for something to watch, try one of these. Who am I kidding? You've probably seen them already.

1. Das Leben der Anderen (The Lives of Others) (2006, Germany)
   
2. Eden (2006, Germany)
   
3. Amadeus (1984, USA) - I was too young to appreciate this film when I first saw it... but now I love it.
   
4. Adams æbler (Adam's Apples) (2005, Denmark)
   
5. Once (2006, Ireland)
   
6. La Science des Rêves (The Science of Sleep) (2006, France)
   
7. A Beautiful Mind (2001, USA) - I've never seen it till this year - oooooh I love a good twist - plus I love anything to do with mathematics!
