DVD's I own

Fucking incredible. Danny Boyle is a genius and is one of the most promising directors around, right next to P.T. Anderson and Christopher Nolan. But I think Boyle thought he was making part of 28 Days Later during the filming of the final part of Sunshine. It's the only explanation.

It's amazing how much I missed the first time I watched this. The visual gags are hilarious and everything Leslie Nielson does will put a smile on your face.

Thank you Bill Paxton for delivering one of the greatest, most quotable lines ever. The world is forever in your debt.

Despite it's numerous flaws and cliches, this is still a highly enjoyable film with great cameo appearances by Zooey and Dwight Schrute.

Basically Will Ferrel's best comedy. He hasn't been able to match this sort of talent yet.

It's ridiculous how amazing this movie is. Watching back some clips on Youtube, I notice the subtle things that just pop out at you without even realizing it. Woody Allen is a comic genius, and this is his masterpiece hands down.

This is easily the best Vietnam war movie ever made and it's not even mainly focused on the war. It's more of a journey into the darkness of the human psyche and the soul, done very well I might add. Back in the time when Coppola made really compelling and important movies, this shines as one of his most important works. The whole cast is amazing, and you gotta love the appearance of an out-of-his-mind Dennis Hopper. Then again, does he really play any other type of character? Despite all the troubles of the production of the movie (nearly going bankrupt and an overly-fat Brando, to name a few), Coppola achieved his grand vision, despite how convoluted the Redux seems to be at times.

Another good Scorsese film, though not his best, proves to deliver on all fronts of emotion and DiCaprio really does steal the show.

I could watch this a thousand times and still not get tired of it. It's a classic for any generation and should be appreciated by all for what it is. I would consider this, along with Raiders and Empire Strikes Back, as Pantheon movies, meaning they are movies that I will never grow tired of, no matter what. When I watch these movies, they bring a mix of nostalgia, joy, thrills, and a sense of wonder. These movies are the reasons why I will always love cinema to the day I die.

A great sequel to a perfect movie.

Flying trains are the shit.

One of the greatest comedies ever, it's the subtle things that are truly hilarious, like the unbelievably hilarious John Goodman and Steve Buscemi's bumbling idiot character Donny. And of course the star, Jeff Bridge's amazing "The Dude" who everybody wishes they could be. Or at least have his attitude. The Coen Brothers are pure geniuses, even if they are a bit strange.

The Godfather reference is brilliant, and the whole movie is just a guilty pleasure. Miles Davis would be proud.

UPDATE - After watching the original cut on a whim, all I have to say is...wow. Ford's VO is so obnoxious and stupid it ruins such a beautiful film. Thank God for the Final Cut.

The Sci-Fi genre is easily one of my favorite genres to watch. These movies usually offer one of two things: either a completely different world in which the director immerses the audience into full of wonder and excitement, or a futuristic look at the way our world is progressing and different possibilities of how certain aspects of society, if not all of mankind, could turn out to be. These type of social commentaries are always interesting to watch and give the audience an insight into the world of ethics. Blade Runner is one such movie.

Genius minds like Fritz Lang, George Lucas, Stanley Kubrick, and Ridley Scott have all contributed immensely to the Sci-Fi genre. Scott first made his impact with a little film called Alien. All throughout the 70's, many filmmakers were trying to bring back the classics that the 50's brought about like Forbidden Planet and The Time Machine, but attempts like Soylent Green and The Omega Man failed commercially and failed at what they were attempting to do. But at the end of the decade, Ridley Scott entered with his sublime masterpiece. How was he to top that after shaking the genre forever? With this of course.

From the get go however, Blade Runner was plagued with way too many production problems. Harrison Ford and Ridley Scott did not get along. Producers were pushing ideas on to the film that made no sense and dumbed the film down. Companies backed out of financing the movie. It seemed like a disaster. Scott did manage to salvage a great movie and managed to polarize critics, whether it was a masterpiece or just another sci-fi piece. And from there everyone knows the stories about the future releases of The Director's Cut and so on. Finally the Final Cut came out in 2007 and Scott's true vision fully realized. But enough about the history. Why is the movie brilliant?

The visuals from Blade Runner, much like 2001, hold up even to this day. They simply blew most people away and had a truly unique view of the future and how globalization will affect us all. The cinematographer knew what he was doing and the dark, surreal atmosphere is the stuff of brilliance.

Harrison Ford gives one of the best performances of his life here as the confused and torn Deckard. Without the stupid VO, he really shows that he has the acting chops to be a serious actor. All the supporting cast were great as well, especially Rutger Hauer who seems like he was born for this role.

The movie keeps up enough ambiguity to have viewers constantly questioning what is real and what is not. The obvious big moral issue is over genetic engineering, or cloning, and the religious and moral debates that ensue over the topic. It's definitely interesting to see these clones have some of the same feelings as real humans and how its unclear whether what our scientists are doing are moral or not. All these issues make Blade Runner as relevant as the day it came out, reinforcing its status as a classic.

I could go on all day about the magnificence of Blade Runner, but most of it has to be viewed for yourself. One of my closest friends watched this once and said it felt generic to him and he didn't see its significance. But I respect his opinion. You are either going to see Blade Runner as one of the best sci-fi movies ever or just another run-of-the-mill movie. If you find it as something special though, you will most likely have the same thought running through your mind: utterly mind-blowing.

This was hilarious. Period.

"Hey everybody, we're all gonna get laid!"

Stunning, breathtaking, and very disturbing. Kubrick at his best. Like art, it just keeps getting better and better with each viewing.

The 2nd of the great Vietnam epics, Walken gives the performance of a lifetime and De Niro, Streep, and yes, even John Cazale, no matter how far he has a stick up his ass, give great performances as well.

Besides having an all-star cast, this Scorsese film completely delivers everything you could possibly want, music, editing, etc.. Honestly there's not one thing wrong about this film that I can point out. Jack in this movie is the reason why De Niro and Pacino have no reason for sucking in their old age.

Surprisingly still entertaining and thrilling, despite being re-spun into a thousand different other types of robbery movies, i.e. The Inside Man. Pacino delivers and a well thought out movie through and through.

Jim Carrey's first good role in god knows how long.

Kubrick is one of the most talented directors to ever make a film. He doesn't make movies man, he makes fucking art. This is no exception. Plus, I could quote this all day. Seriously.

If the world is destroyed by a giant monster, I vote for Stay Puft the Marshmallow Man to lead the destruction.

The best of all the Bond films, the plot is cunning and the antagonist ruthless. Sean Connery was always the best and this movie just proves it as his best performance.

This just keeps getting better and better each time I watch it. Dances With Wolves can burn in hell for stealing GoodFellas glory.

1/3 comedy, 1/3 character study, 1/3 love story, this is an all-time classic. Simon and Garfunkel's music is classic/perfect and Dustin Hoffman is in the performance of his lifetime.
