Date: 2016-06-11 09:17 pm (UTC)2 - Baymax - Cause really he's all kind of awesome. And he gives you hugs.
3 - Mr Incredible (the whole family really, but I feel like if I start listing all the cool superheroes from The Incredibles it'd be cheating).
4 - Iron Man - Cause I like the fact that Tony Stark doesn't abide by the superhero rules (well, at least in Iron Man 1 and 2, which are the only one I've seen and liked) and that he's having so much fun with being a superhero. Also RDJ.
5 - Spiderman - I enjoyed the first 2 films with Toby McGuire. And I had to find a #5.
(wouh I've done much better than I thought I would given I'm not into superheroes LOL)

Date: 2016-06-11 10:51 pm (UTC)1- The Three Musketeers - my childhood favorite. D'Artagnan was my first serious crush. I got obsessed with everything sword and buckle, sword fights and all. Also, it's a story about friendship. And Alexandre Dumas had such a way with words. playful and precise. Nobody writes like that anymore. (Also I guess it probably doesn't come across as well when not in its original version)
2- Flowers for Algernon - So beautiful and so heartbreaking...
3- The Help - One of the best books I've read the past few years
4- Les Aventures de Boro, reporter photographe - it's a series of books following an hungarian immigrant living in Paris in the 30s and 40s. He's a photographer for a news agency (a fictional Cappa if you will), and we follow his adventures through historical events (Nazi Germany, Civil war in Spain, then WWII). It was written by 2 authors and one died a few months ago, so I'm guessing we'll never get a 7th book *cries*
5- The Martian - best book I've read last year.

no subject
Date: 2016-06-12 01:55 am (UTC)There hasn't been any really decent adaptation of The Three Musketeers. Ironically the closest one is the Disney version (with Chris O'Donnell and Kiefer Sutherland). Unfortunately it's obvious they had read only 1/3 of the book... It goes all of a sudden completely sideways...
The Man in the Iron Mask isn't too bad if you're not too attached to the story, nor History... But it's so "Americanized", so full of clichés...
This one is actually an adaptation of part of the third book of the series, and it's even bigger! Those books, like many of the French classics from the 19th century were the TV shows of their times, published one chapter at a time in the newspapers. :)
Yes, The Martian is the book the movie is based on. Both are great, and the movie is pretty faithful to the book (which is rare!).

no subject
Date: 2016-06-12 04:06 pm (UTC)2- Sherlock - the only show that I gives me as many feels as White Collar. If only there were a little more episodes per year...
3- In Treatment - The most addictive TV show *ever*. It all takes place in the shrink's office and it is so fascinating. Also Gabriel Byrne ♥♥ There's no way you can't fall in love with him while watching this show.
4- Person of Interest - The more I watch it, the more I love it. Awesomely badass characters all around, great concept with very high quality writing, and a solid and precise backstory. Also, despite the fact that it is rather pessimistic and a bit violent, I like the idea of saving people, instead of investigating their murder.
5- The Good Wife - Just one of the most brilliant TV shows of the past few years.

Date: 2016-06-12 04:54 pm (UTC)2- The Great Dictator - Charlie Chaplin made a bunch a timeless masterpieces, I had to pick one. This guy was a genius.
3- Le Bossu (1997). It's a French film, and the best "sword and buckler" film ever.
4- Into the West - An Irish film kinda for kids but treating kids like adults, dealing with serious problem (loss, identity...) and a horse called Tir Na nOg. And an heartbreaking Gabriel Byrne.
5- Moon - my favorite Sci-Fi movie. Very little special effect, but a great story, and an amazing Sam Rockwell.

Date: 2016-06-12 05:13 pm (UTC)1- Roberto Benigni's character in La Vita é Bella. What this father did to protect his son from the horror of the death camps was hearbreaking and so beautiful. And at the same time requested so much strength.
2- Lagardère, from the movie Le Bossu (1997 - I precise the date cause there's a ~1950 version that is definitely not as good). My idea of the true hero. With a sword. ♥♥
3- Snape - It's really the movie version of Snape that made me fall in love with him the moment he walked into his classroom, in the first movie. "Harry Potter, our new celebrity." I was doomed. If he had turned out to be a villain, I would have turned to the dark side...
4- Danny Ocean - Doesn't get any better than George Clooney in a tuxedo with his bow tie untied... ;)
5- Mike Wasowsky from Monster Inc. :D
(There's probably a few really important characters I'm missing but off the top of my head, it's hard to remember all the movies I've seen!)
no subject
Date: 2016-06-12 05:34 pm (UTC)1- Peter Burke! Naturally :) My real superhero, my ideal man, my inspiration. Doing his best to be the best agent, the best friend and the best husband, but that's not always an easy thing... (To be honest, I could just make a top 5 just with the WC characters, but let's try to put some variety, so one character per show)
2- John Reese, from Person of Interest. Yes, he did some terrible things. But as Harold puts it, "John has the heaviest heart of all of us, but he's fighting the hardest to be good." I find it touching how desperate he is to make up for his past sins, and his gratitude toward Harold for giving him that chance. Also, he's just a big softy wrapped up in an assassin. He didn't truly have what it takes to be a CIA operative. Also, he's the most badass lefty, and that's a clear bonus point! :)
(again that show is full of awesome characters. With a special mention for Detective Fusco)
3- Dr. Paul Weston, from In Treatment. I guess the transference was just inevitable...
4- Jonesy, from Carnivale. It's not just that it's Tim DeKay, but he's truly an amazing character. A fallen angel, good, and loyal, and strong, and adorable...
5- Zorro, from the Disney series with Guy Williams. I did have a serious crush as a kid. Should have I added him in the superhero list? Does he count? Cause he's definitely my favorite then. I like that he's a positive hero. He's not of the tortured kind. He just came back from Spain and was like "oh look how many injustices here, someone has to do something. Let's pretend I'm a bookish idiot and secretly fight crimes at night." And I do love how he makes sure his Diego persona makes him the least plausible suspect. :D And those ridiculous Spanish costumes, especially in the colored version ROTF. Guy Williams did look good in them.
