  1. I wached Slumdog Millionaire which is on fifth place. I think it was good film, but maybe you heard about father, who want to sold his doughter (she plaied in that film, she was about 4-5 years) becouse she is popular, and he want get a lot of money... I think it's cruel!

  2. I've heard about this scandal. It is terrible what money can do with people. And poor girl, how was she feeling.
    For me the best film is "Singing in the rain" because I like old musical.

  3. I'm Star Wars's fan. I very like this saga. Otherwise I like Godfather, Star Trek and I very like Forest Gump. If we talk about Polish movies I like our old comedies for example: Miś, Seksmisja, Sami swoi. And the last film which in my opinion is very great is musical Hair. This is movie about hippis and war in Vietnam. It has great music!

  4. I love movies. Very often I go to the cinema ILUZJON, where there are old good movies. I can't choose my favorite movie, just I like movies that are considered masterpieces of "Amadeus" as well as the type of gangster movies like "Scarface". At some level, it is difficult to compare the films.
