13. Moulin Rouge (2001)
There are moments in Moulin Rouge that were so chilling that I couldn’t take my eyes from the screen, Nicole Kidman so startlingly beautiful and delicate that my heart rose to my throat and Ewan McGregor so innocent and vulnerable that my heart ached. Even the music, though modern and distracting at times, manages to get a rise of emotions in me few films have done. Had the director been able to do that with original music Moulin Rouge would have been in the top ten, but as it stands it’s still one of the best ever.
