26. "Children of Men"
Clive Owen is super cool. He drinks and smokes in all of his movies. He wears a trench coat and swears and has sex with pretty ladies. He doesn't take himself too seriously because he's usually drunk.
"Children of Men" is one of those movies you put off seeing because it looks dark and you know it's good but doesn't seem easy to watch whereas a film like "Knocked Up" is obviously a fun romp. You won't remember the light romp but "Children of Men" will stick with you. It has an ending that is somewhat clear. It has a compelling story. It's beautiful and horrific. It looks expensive but natural at once.
I don't think I could watch "Children of Men" enough to grasp everything in the film. The sound mix alone is mind blowing. See this film as soon as you can. Give it your full attention.
