This will be a simple repository (Not a ranking!) where i will place Movies i liked and not. Possibly, for some of them, i will give a brief explaination of my opinion. I hope that this list would be useful for someone that find its taste similar to mine, i think that the most useful part of this list is the ‘no’ part, much more informative, and with more entries, than the ‘yes’ part. This page is useful especially for me, because i can file movies in my mind in a better way and, hopefully, save same neurons for this useless knowledge. A special section about mathematical movies is given and also one about Kim Ki Duk director.

Unfortunately this is a Yes or No opinion, if i would have to give marks i would say
Yes: 9-10, No:1:8, so in practice many good movies will end up in no. I do this because however this is a suggestion about spending the reader time, so a difficult one.

Avoid any comment like ‘You don’t understand anything about movies’, this my taste, if you think i am stupid keep it for yourself (this counts only in this movies section, in the math section you can say if you think i am)

Math Movies

A general comment about Math Movies: unfortunately a movie about Math would not be comprehensible by a lot of people, because of the lot of notion you have to know all around, so usually a movie about Math is a biography or some strange stuff where some guys look like to genius that do incomphrensible stuff, also mathematics in these movies is associated to useless phenomena in nature. This is a lot chagrining for mathematics, so in general i would suggest to not watch this kind of movies.

Yes

Pi - mystic mathematics, can’t lose this one (the beginning is a little boring)-

No

The butterfly effect (didn’t like at all), The proof , A beautiful mind ( however a good movie )
