86 The Talented Mr. Ripley

How far would you go to become someone else.

Ripley is sent to Europe to retrieve a rich and spoiled millionaire playboy, but when the errand fails...

"I always thought it'd be better to be a fake somebody than a real nobody."

Ok I have to clarify something here. Some movies already on my list I like better then this one as far as stories go but this beat them out simply for execution of style. This movie is rich with style and easily one of the best mysteries out there. Its dark brooding and very creepy at times. This movie also introduced me to Philip Seymour Hoffman who I hope to one day have a chance to work with, that would be great. Oh sorry dreaming a bit. Anyway this movie Nails intrigue and deception. If I need a reference for a charecter who wants what isnt his this is it.
