Babe (1995)
heartwarming
Little Babe is a piglet in a farm, owned by Mr.Hoggett. Though he is a newcomer, animals in the farm including sheep and sheepdog accept him as a family as they get to know his kind and polite attitude to others. After Mr.Hoggett realizes that Babe is different from normal pigs, he makes Babe participate in the sheep dog competition as 'sheep pig'. Even though the sheep refuge to obey the sheep dogs, as they are too afraid of sheep dogs, they decide to go after Babe, and Babe win the competition in the end. This film used to be one of my favorite when I was a kid. Beautiful sceneries and lovely animals made me dream of life in the countryside. As I learned to love animals and be kind to others from this film, this is definitely one of the most heartwarming film that I would recommend to my kids someday
(500) Days of Summer (2009)
reality
Tom works as a writer at a greeting card company in Los Angeles. One day, he happens to meet Summer, who has just started to work at the same office. He falls in love with her at first sight. They go variety of places together and get closer little by little. However, in fact, Summer does not believe in true love, and does not want a boyfriend. This film goes with Tom's reality and fancy.
We can touch with Tom because the construction of this film is similar to reality and the hero is ordinary man. Thanks to it, I am very moved and I am able to feel this film closer. This film makes us to think of many things about relations and feelings. Although this story is a little sad, I recommend you to watch this.
Brokeback Mountain (2005)
beautiful love
This is a story of two cowboys who love each other. They meet at Brokeback Mountain, work there together, and eventually start going out together. As many people have discriminatory attitude towards homosexuals now in 21st century, people around those two, back in 19th century, were a lot worse. In such a situation, they had to keep their relation as a secret. I love this film because the description and scenery are very beautiful. I think people all over the world should watch this film and think about homosexual love. Everyone has the right to love someone, regardless of own and partner's gender, and no one has right to stop other's love. This film tells us how unfavorable people are to homosexuals, and how beautiful loving someone regardless of gender is.
The Terminator (1984)
thrilling
A big strange man comes to the earth from somewhere. We all think he is crazy, because he doesn't wear any clothes. He is very strong and crazy, so people can't fight against him. Some women are killed by him, and one lady is being target of him even she does nothing. However, he targets on her for a reason.
This story is very thrilling, but has some emotional parts. I like the way to show that the strange man is very strong. He is in good shape, and also doesn't smile at all. Arnold Schwarzenegger played the part of the strong man. He makes the man more thrilling by his appearance. However, the content is a little bit complicated for me, especially, the relationships among people. You might enjoy this movie more if you got information before you watch it. Anyway, I was very excited and thought the actor is very important for all movies.
Paperman (2012)
heart-warming
A man with a lot of papers is standing at a station. A woman crosses in front of him and stands next to him. Then, a wind puts a piece of his papers on her face. He loves her at first sight, but she goes somewhere without saying anything and left a mark of her lipstick on the piece. After a while, he finds her in the building on the other side. To be noticed by her, he starts to make and fly paper planes. What will happen to him and her?

Embers (2006)
good
A woman is hoping that her husband comes back from the war. She always thinks of him, and starts to have hallucinations that he is executed by a Japanese soldier. Fortunately, he gets back, and she was delighted with it. However, she realizes that something about him has changed. How on earth does the war makes him?
This film makes us think about war and humans. Because people often forget fear of war and weakness of human in our daily life, I think that we need such a film. My only complaint about this film, for people who are not good at using English like me, it is difficult to catch what the actors say. To sum up, although it is a little hard to understand this film, I recommend everyone to watch it!

This film is about the great ties of a father and his daughter. One day, he goes far away somewhere by a small boat, when the daughter is still very young. Because she loves her father, she continues going to the port where they parted and waiting for him to return day in day out.
I like the story and the artwork. Her figure continuing waiting for her father is very impressive. I can feel the love of them very much. The artistic narrative makes me feel sad and painful. I could not understand the story at first because the opening of this film is a little difficult to comprehend. I think it should include more information in the opening. In conclusion, I like this film although it is a little bit sad to me.

The Lunch Date (1989)
interesting
A woman, who looks like rich person, is in a station. She misses her train, so she goes in a restaurant. She orders a salad and put it her table. To take a fork, she leaves her seat for a moment. However, when she comes back her table, a stranger is sitting there and eating a salad. Although she becomes confused, she also sits there starts eating the salad. Why such a thing happens that two persons who do not know each other eat a salad together?
I like the scene that the two persons eat a salad together. Although their appearances look contrasting, rich and poor, the sight they eat it together is very funny. I have no complaints about this film. I think we can simply enjoy this lovely movie.

great
In a big city, people walking outside start to die suddenly. However, the cause is not illness or something. At the same time, a man who works in a golf practice range finishes his work and goes somewhere with golf balls. How is he related to these death?
I like the idea of this movie. Although such a thing may not happen in the real world, I can get a thrill and enjoy it in this movie.

It will be enjoyable if you can take it as a fiction.
Otousan no tabako (2007)
impressed
A little girl, on her way home from elementary school, stands in front of a vending machine. She looks around and puts money into it. Surprisingly, what she buys is a pack of cigarettes. As soon as she arrives at her house, her mother tells her to show the contents of her backpack. Although she is reluctant to show it, at last, her mother finds cigarettes in her backpack. Her mother gets angry because this is not the first time that she buys them. Why does she go on buying them?
I think the reason why the girl buys cigarettes is very impressive. In fact, she seems not to want to buy them. however, because of the complicated reason, she decides to buy new cigarettes. Although this movie is a little cruel and makes me sad, I like this movie because it tells me fear of cigarettes and the value of family.
Lifted (2006)
funny
The film is a very funny tale about an ordinary man who is sleeping in his room. Suddenly, an enormous flying vehicle comes over his house. It may be a UFO. The UFO aims at him with a beam, and he starts to be lifted. But the UFO cannot lift him up well. He is crashed into the wall, furniture, and various objects in his room. What will happen to him?
My favorite scenes are these crashing ones. They are very crazy, but very funny scenes, although,the crashing is painful to behold. My only complaint is that it is too short and I want to enjoy such a funny film more. Although I do not know the director's purpose in making this film, I enjoyed it very much. I have no doubt the staff, like their movie, are very funny people.
Fish Out of Water (2005)
Fish Out of Water
The film is about the daily life of a man. He everyday goes to his work by a small boat. One day, a woman finds him and asks him to take her with him. He seems not to like her, but he can't decline her suggestion. From then, his daily life starts to change
I like his character. In this film, he is calm, and quiet. He seems not to like noisy things. I myself don't like noisy things, so I can understand his feelings. I don't like the concise story. It is too simple for me to understand the director's purpose of making this film. However, I like this film because the atmosphere and description is impressing.
