Nothing will compare to the book, however this version is better than Kubrick's because it allows for more open interpretations (as to whether or not the narrator is a pedophile, whether Lolita is a "nymphet," etc). Kubrick's is a bit too facetious, although Nabokov did help in the production of Kubrick's version.

The Fifth Element (1997) - Rated 24 Apr 2009

Perfect combination of action, drama, comedy. If you watch it now, you probably won't think much of the graphics, but they were unparalleled in 1997.

2046 (2004) - Rated 24 Apr 2009

Strange, but good. His stories are always nearly touching (just a bit of aloofness and disconnection between the viewer and the movie).

Suzhou River (2000) - Rated 24 Apr 2009

Great Story. Can be compared to Hitchcock's Vertigo, or the style of story-telling in Wang Kar Wai's films.
