You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon

For a lot of my Top 20 favourite movies, i didn't know they were to become my favourites, even right after the show. It's like, after the end credits roll, if for days, weeks or months i keep thinking about it, i'll know just how much i like it.

Is that normal? I mean, think about it. Most of our best moments were spent not realising that those were to be the best. Just like Counting Crows said, "I can't remember all the times i tried to tell myself to hold on to these moments as they pass".

C.R.A.Z.Y. was different, though. Five minutes into the film i knew it was to be something i'd really like.

Besides the fact that i have a soft spot for most things set in the sixties/seventies, the story was absolutely enchanting. It was easy to identify with the main character, and even some of the others - the mother, the brother's (hot) hippie girlfriend, and sometimes even the brother (Raymond).

Zac, the lead is so goodlooking any guy or girl would want him. And why is it that a lot of foreign kids can act so damn well? They are so convincing in their roles!

Another contributing factor is the soundtrack. I love it! *melts* It features the best sounds as the story progresses through the decades, from Patsy Cline to Jefferson Airplane, to Pink Floyd and David Bowie. Wow wow wow.

Wonderful, wonderful coming-of-age story. Makes you feel a wide array of emotions. Go watch it, if you haven't. =)
