Netflicker 5# - The Machinist, Stardust, Chicago

The Machinist: Thriller, psychological, suspense
premise: Trevor is a lonely machine worker who hasn't been able to sleep for a year and is
beginning to have flashes and lapses.
Please ignore the poor description and the questionable year long lack of sleep and just carry on with that idea. 
This was one of those films that i heard was really good and always meant to watch but didnt till now and it was my mistake because it was just so well done. I knew the premise and that the lead (Christian Bale) was fabulous and he is but in truth its far more beautiful and iconic then i could have ever imagined. 

Stardust:Fantasy, fairytale, comedy, drama(ish)
Premise:Tristan makes his way accross the wall to the magical realm to retrieve a fallen star and win the heart of victoria.
If you havnt seen this then seriously what are you plating at , its out since 2007 (yes im very  up to date this week). Its one of the best fairytales ive ever seen, tales of adventure, courage and magic. It sounds cheesy but it contains everything a fairytale should and more which just adds to how brilliant it is.

Chicago: Musical, Drama
Premise: The love of murder in chicago during the 1920s told through music, focusing on two cases and there scheming lawyers.
Another beautifully shot film, it has this cool glamerous edge to everything about it, the costumes, the sets, the people everything just speaks of wealth glamour and sex. I think its a good lead up to the great gatsby despite the difference in  topic it has a very similar style
