Twelve Monkeys
I saw this movie for the sixth time.
I love this movie, and I remember that the plot was too complicated for me and that it took me about three viewings to get it. Now, I understand everything and hence the joy of watching comes from noticing the extras that Gilliam puts in or for the first time relating the movie to La Jeteé. The movie is inspired by "La Jeteé", but I had never seen it before, the first time I saw it was last month. An interesting scene was when James and Dr. Railley are in a movie theater watching Vertigo, in "La Jeteé" there is also a reference to "Vertigo". I loved the scene between James and Dr. Railley where she has the blonde whig and he has the moustache and the music is the music from "Vertigo". "Vertigo" being one of my favorite films, I get a big kick of hearing its music and seeing an homage scene in other movies.

Other notable scenes are:
-Brad Pitt's character explaining how Dr. Railley mapped out every possible decision of his life in a computer and factored it out using a probability matrix.
-The powerful ending scene
-Imagining the shock of the guy that saw James get his tooth out. A guy that was fearing for his life after James kicks his ass. (Note James is the character played by Bruce Willis).

Things I still can't explain to myself:
-Who the hell is Bob? How is he talking to James? Is James a little crazy?
-Did the tooth thing actually work?

This movie is just excellent.

Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Last Ark
Second time I see it. It is a really fun movie to watch. The scene with the monkey and the chasing reminded me a lot of the Looney Tunes. There seem to be many logic mistakes in the movie, but it is forgiven because the movie is incredibly fun and doesn't try to be realistic. A fun movie to watch, but I don't love it nearly as much as Twelve Monkeys as you can notice from the lenght in words dedicated to each movie.
