Millions (2005)

I really loved this movie. I admit, my expectations were really high, I wanted to see it from the moment I saw the preview, and I was so angry that I never even noticed it playing anywhere. I thought the premise looked great, and that kid looked adorable. The preview alone gave me chills. The movie did exactly what it was supposed to for me. It was inspiring, in a way that I really needed to be inspired after recent events. I was able to put some things into perspective that I was having trouble with, and it really eased my mind. Danny Boyle is such an amazing director, and this movie really surprised me. I have been a fan since I saw Trainspotting, but I wasn't sure if he could pull off the sensitivity that this story seemed to have. But it was incredible. I had such an emotional response, and I thought the imagery was incredible. It was almost like a fairy tale in a very magical way, without making it be about special effects, or anything like that. I would actually consider buying this movie so I could watch it over and over again.
