Movies:

2046 (for the beautiful coloring and the incredible camera angles), 12 Monkeys (for the incredible vision and for Brad Pitt's performance), True Romance (for that wonderful dialog, Christian Slater's cool and for "The Scene" with Dennis Hopper and Christopher Walken), Usual Suspects (for the incredible story and the amazing Kevin Spacey), Leon (because Luc Besson is THE best director), Glengarry GlenRoss (for the on-fire performances and dialog), Momento (for the truly unique storytelling method), Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead (because Tom Stoppard is the king), Get Shorty (proof that John Travolta used to be cool), Hero (for the best cinematography ever captured on 35mm).

Television:
