Pan's Labyrinth (2006)
#12 on my Top 100 List
What I love most about this movie is that you can interpret it however you want. You could see it as a fantasy movie about a little girl who discovers a magical world that she didn't know she was a part of, or you could see it as an intense drama about a little girl who creates a fantasy world to retreat to when the real world becomes too much to handle. I prefer to think of it as the former - that Ofelia really is Princess Moanna and must complete Pan's tasks in order to go back home. Make no mistake, it's a disturbing movie, but it's also one of the best.
My Netflix rating: 5 stars
