Worth every cent (get it, punny, right?)


95. "Millions"
Danny Boyle can do anything. "Trainspotting" still holds up. "Slumdog Millionaire" is ambitious enough to be a poverty drama and a musical. "A Life Less Ordinary" made me want to make films at 14. "Millions" makes me want to try new things with light and camera speed, try to write a film that's family friendly but not a kids film and not be afraid to keep things quiet. Boyle's film making isn't easy to spot and maybe that's what makes him so great. He has no Tarintino schtick, but he can sure tell a story. I will be watching this film again, taking full advantage of the director's commentary.
