Ad Fundum (1993,  Unrated)
Ad Fundum
Great Belgian thriller. exciting, sometimes funny (lovely conversations between Flemish and Dutch students) and tragic ending. For those who understand Dutch, it's definitely worth watching!

This is one of director Eric Van Looy's best films!

Ali (2001,  R)
3
American Beauty (1999,  R)
American Beauty
Saw it two times on the big screen.
BEST BLACK COMEDY EVER!!!

SEE IT !!!!!!
Definitely worth all the oscars...
4
An Unfinished Life (2005,  PG-13)
5
As Good As It Gets (1997,  PG-13)
6
Bandits (2001,  PG-13)
7
Big Fish (2003,  PG-13)
Big Fish
I just read that this movie is based on a novel. I liked this story very very much! And this fairy tale is brilliantly directed by the ever-fantastic Tim Burton! One can learn some wise lessons from this movie! More Tim Burton please!
8
Bowling for Columbine (2002,  R)
Bowling for Columbine
I totally agree with Michael Moore! There is no reason to sell guns at supermarkets or give them away when opening a bank account! People, YOU DO NOT NEED GUNS TO PROTECT YOUR FAMILY! JUST FORBID THE PURCHASE OF GUNS IN THE STREET! If people can't buy guns at Wal-Mart, the chances that your family will be hurt are extremely small!
Mr Henson from NRA seems a nice man, but he does not know how to show respect. That's bad!
I feel bad for the black woman whose son shot a girl at school, while she was travelling 80 miles to do one of her 2 jobs after being evicted. People doing 2 jobs should receive SOCIAL STATE HELP, as we have in Europe and Canada, where we DO NOT HAVE GUNS IN STORES!
I am a proud white female European and NOT scared of anything Americans are scared of. I never saw a gun in my life!
I AGREE WITH THE CANADIAN PEOPLE!
And Marilyn Manson seems to be a right guy, apart from his make-up, I'd prefer him above ANY American President. No metal music ever has caused me feeling murderous! :)
The best scene in this movie was the cartoon "A brief history of the USA" Absolutely hilarious and oh so ironically true!
AMERICANS DON'T BE SILLY, BECOME EUROPEAN MINDED! FOLLOW MICHAEL MOORE!

Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992,  R)
Bram Stoker's Dracula
I AM TRULY IN LOVE WITH THIS MOVIE! This is by far the best horror movie I saw in my entire life. Nothing in this movie can improve, everything here is perfect. Gary Oldman in his best role ever, Winona Ryder & Sadie Frost give brilliant performances and Keanu Reeves, Anthony Hopkins & Tom Waits are great supporting actors. The soundtrack of this movie is the best one I've ever heard. See it and you'll love this version! AND BE AWARE THAT LOVE NEVER DIES!
10
Breaking the Waves (1996,  R)
11
Brokeback Mountain (2005,  R)
Brokeback Mountain
Movie is so real, it could be anyone's story. Beautiful scenes, great performances and director Ang Lee once again proved to be one of the world's best.
12
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969,  PG)
13
Shattered (Butterfly on a Wheel) (2007,  R)
Shattered (Butterfly on a Wheel)
I was about to rate this film much lower because I expected it to have a happy end. Moreover the script irritated me because I would have called the cops immediately and told the criminal to kill my kid if he so much wished instead of obeying him.
However the end of the movie wasn't expected and I liked it. It took up my rating.
About Pierce Brosnan, he didn't convince me in this role at all. He's just too nice but maybe that was how this role was supposed to be played?
14
Citizen X (1995,  R)
Citizen X
I read the book a long time ago, and the book was terrible. That's why I was interested to watch that movie. I can tell you that I was not disappointed at all. Brilliant performances of all actors. The facts are filmed in a very good way, no bloody or scary images but you will not forget the movie, I guarantee. Too cruel.
15
City by the Sea (2002,  R)
City by the Sea
The appearance of both Robert de Niro & Frances McDormand did much positive to the movie. The script in itself was not so special but those two made it just much more interesting.
James Franco was not bad either. I just thought the ending would be different.
16
Clerks (1994,  R)
Clerks
It's just so entertaining and funny :-)
You either hate it or love it!
I loved it :)
17
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (Wo hu cang long) (2000,  PG-13)
18
Dahmer (2002,  R)
Dahmer
The real story about Jeffrey was a lot more scarier than the way the director put it on screen. It was not scary at all and the movie was very slow, sometimes even boring. I saw other and far better directed movies about real-time serial killers. The actors' performances were good, though.
19
De Zaak Alzheimer (The Memory of a Killer) (The Alzheimer Case) (2005,  R)
De Zaak Alzheimer (The Memory of a Killer) (The Alzheimer Case)
Belgium's best thriller ever based on a novel by flemish writer Jef Geeraerts.
Same class as the best stuff in Hollywood and better than the majority of Hollywood flicks nowadays.
Jan Decleir rules!!
20
Dead Man Walking (1995,  R)
21
Downfall (Der Untergang) (2004,  R)
Downfall (Der Untergang)
Not like any war movie I have ever seen!!
22
Desperado (1995,  R)
23
Day Watch (Dnevnoi Dozor) (2007,  R)
24
Dr. Strangelove Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964,  PG)
Dr. Strangelove Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
Brilliant comedy! Full of sarcasm and actually I think that Peter Sellers is a genius. Nevertheless George C. Scott made me laugh a lot too and so did Slim Pickens, sitting and screaming on his flying bomb! :-))
But Peter Sellers did it. I heard he just improvised most of the conversations, that's just terrific.
Maybe this is THE best Kubrick movie, but that is a though one to decide after all.
25
The Driller Killer (1979,  Unrated)
The Driller Killer
Very odd horror movie! The first half an hour it is quite boring, nothing happens but then all of a sudden the killer gets mad and there's awful scenes! Those murder scenes are then interrupted by a live rock band playing rock'n'roll. Not good rock'n'roll, a gang of losers, but loud it is. So then I understood why at the beginning of the movie there is the following message:This film should be played LOUD.The sound quality of this film is very bad and that's a pity. But I like the ending of the movie very much. It is left to the viewer's imagination.
26
Ed Gein (2001,  R)
Ed Gein
Very good horror based on a real story. Do not watch it at 10 pm at night, as I did, because you probably won't be at ease after it. The soundtrack is also scary. It looks almost as if this is a story written by Stephen King, unfortunately it was real...
27
8MM (1999,  R)
8MM
Not bad, this thriller was quite exciting at some moments. But the presentation of the relationship between the character of Nicolas Cage and his wife (played by Catherine Keener) was disastrous. Not at all convincing. The role played by Joaquin Phoenix was much more convincing. Swedish actor Peter Stormare is ice cold as always... Bra jobbat Peter!
28
Elizabeth (1998,  R)
Elizabeth
One fantastic costume drama, one of the best I've ever seen. Such a good acting, lovely medieval music score, very well-directed piece of art.
29
Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007,  PG-13)
Elizabeth: The Golden Age
I found this movie not as good as the first part from 1998 but it still had much beauty. The soundtrack was more that of a romantic movie. This movie had way too much romance in it. The costumes were great and Cate Blanchett was super!
30
Festen (The Celebration) (1998,  R)
Festen (The Celebration)
When you see it the first time it may be very shocking, so BE WARNED! But I've seen this movie a hundred times and still I'm enjoying every minute of it. In my opinion the best Danish movie ever made, and that is a surprise since it is not directed by the insane genius Lars von Trier, although it is part of von Trier's Dogme series! Thomas Vinterberg did a fabulous job! The entire cast in fact! Endlessly brilliant!!!
31
Garfield - The Movie (2004,  PG)
Garfield - The Movie
I watched this movie with my favourite attention seeker Sirius purring on my lap. I LOVED this movie 'cause I recognize a lot of similar behaviour in my own two cats. The movie made me laugh a lot. A must see for all cat & dog lovers.
32
Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties (2006,  PG)
Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties
I like this movie as much as the first Garfield movie. It's the ultimate cat lover movie but I think that it is not a good movie if you don't really care about cats.
33
Hector (1987,  Unrated)
Hector
I can watch this movie again and again, it never gets boring. A real classic Belgian comedy and a worthy director debut for Stijn Coninx.
34
Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer (1986,  NC-17)
Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer
Ouch! This movie is f***ing TERRIBLE, AWFUL, I think I will never see it again. During the first 10 minutes you see at least 5 bodies cruelly murdered in every way possible. And you see the killings, struggles with much blood, and hear the necks cracking. That is too much for me. Don't watch it while eating... HORROR!
35
Hitler: The Rise of Evil (2003,  Unrated)
36
House of 1000 Corpses (2003,  R)
House of 1000 Corpses
Isn't there a negative rating??
This movie is BAD, WORTHLESS, STUPID, NOT SCARY, RIDICULOUS, IRRITATING, TOTALLY NOT WORTH SEEING!
Maybe I'll see it a second time and then I hope that it will get any better, but I sincerely doubt it.
Thank God it was a rather short movie, but I think I started checking the time at a rather early stage in this boring movie.
37
Ice Age (2002,  PG)
Ice Age
Super movie. Remember I was laughing out loud in theatre. I'm still smiling over and over again when watching it.
38
The Idiots (2000,  R)
39
Jackie Brown (1997,  R)
Jackie Brown
Great action movie with a super cast and fantastic soundtrack! Pam Grier is brilliant here!
40
JFK (1991,  R)
JFK
"Movie far too complicated. Too many facts are being thrown at the watcher during the first 2 hours. The beginning of the trial scene could draw my attention. Overall this movie is not recommended if you don't have any interest in american politics at all.
Nevertheless I'm gonna watch it again and gonna try to concentrate for another 3 hours. Maybe I won't sleep during the second hour, who knows?
Gary Oldman is the only bright light in this movie. Kevin Costner is just ok, he gives a good performance but at the same time a very boring figure.
Tommy Lee Jones? uuurgh.
Kevin Bacon? Oh no please stop the torture.
Sissy Spacek: see Kevin Bacon
Donald Sutherland: good as usual
41
Kill Bill: Volume 1 (2003,  R)
Kill Bill: Volume 1
Quentin Tarantino is a living legend! I love this crazy man because he's so passionate in what he's doing!
Like he says himself this first Kill Bill movie has everything, western, horror and even animated. The blood gushing around, it's all one big joke. The revenge was meant to be serious but the underlying feeling is laughter. Because Quentin is so sick!!
Like in all his movies the soundtrack is a party on itself, even without the picture!
42
Kill Bill, Volume 2 (2004,  R)
Kill Bill, Volume 2
I like this one better than Kill Bill Vol. 1 because you see all those exciting one-to-one encounters between Beatrix Kiddo (played by Uma Thurman) and the separate members of The Deadly Viper Assassination Squad. The meeting between Elle Driver (played by Daryl Hannah) and Beatrix Kiddo is the climax of all meetings while that between Elle Driver and Budd (played by Michael Madsen) is in my opinion the cruellest. Many will not agree and will find the grave scene far more cruel but then every one knows Beatrix Kiddo is gonna make it...
Again, the soundtrack, as in all Tarantino movies is fascinating...
43
Laws of Attraction (2004,  PG-13)
44
Amelie (Le Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain) (2001,  R)
Amelie (Le Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain)
Amazing and beautiful story, with very amusing scenes, funny lines, causing laughter and tears.
Wonderful. See it!
45
Run Lola Run (Lola rennt) (1999,  R)
Run Lola Run (Lola rennt)
This is a great movie with an original script. The viewer is confronted with a series of facts which leads to the death of the main character. And you wonder why she is dead already after only 20 minutes or so. But then the viewer sees the same series of scenes over again but now with minor differences leading to the death of the second main character. Then the same scenery all over again, a third version of the script.
If you like watching MTV then you may like the way this movie is made. The viewer is dragged into an MTV-alike video clip, which even includes the main character as a cartoon, including background music with a steady beat. I do not know which artist but it sounds like something similar to Moby.
I could not believe that the very same director Tom Tykwer made the german book "Perfume" into a movie!
This film is totally different!
46
Marie Antoinette (2006,  PG-13)
47
Meet The Fockers (2004,  PG-13)
Meet The Fockers
This was definitely a disappointing successor to a good comedy. I can hardly remember any joke that has not to do with tits, breast milk, assholes or sex. Always the same similar shit.
Still three stars though because I have seen worse. And Robert DeNiro & Dustin Hoffman are in this flick.
48
Meet the Parents (2000,  PG-13)
Meet the Parents
Oh this must be one of my favourite comedies of all time! Mostly because the combination of Robert DeNiro & Ben Stiller is almost perfect. The humour actually made me laugh when I saw this one in theatre, unlike most American comedies where boredom reigns. But not in this one!
49
Memoirs of a Geisha (2005,  PG-13)
50
Michael Clayton (2007,  R)
51
Mifune (2000,  R)
Mifune
Seen this movie tons of times since it has been in my movie collection for several years. Today I watched it for the first time with Danish subtitles, the movie is spoken in the Danish language.
It is the most wonderful love story you can imagine. The performance of Jesper Asholt who played the elder mentally disabled brother Rud is just beyond brilliance. His character is funny, soft, sweet and serious at the same time. He received two awards for this role, totally deserved.
The story itself is a very beautiful one. It never goes down to the Hollywood level of romantic comedies. Why not? Because this is a Danish movie made according to the Dogme certificate, which was signed by a bunch of skilled Danish directors. The director of this masterpiece is Søren Kragh-Jacobsen.
As you can see is the first Dogme movie Festen on number 4 of my all time favourite movies. This one is definitely into the top 10.
52
Mission Impossible (1996,  PG-13)
53
Mission Impossible 2 (2000,  PG-13)
54
Mission: Impossible III (2006,  PG-13)
55
Monty Python's Life of Brian (1979,  R)
Monty Python's Life of Brian
oh well, this was not too bad... varies from really bad humor to really good humor!
56
Monty Python's The Meaning of Life (1983,  R)
Monty Python's The Meaning of Life
According to myself this is the funniest Monty Python movie made!
57
Mr. Brooks (2007,  R)
58
Nattevagten (Nightwatch) (1994,  R)
Nattevagten (Nightwatch)
This movie is a very exciting thriller with a great plot! This danish story is about a student who takes a night job at the morgue to finance his studies. There he enters a very scary web of murder and ... worse!
This movie was released in Denmark with an all danish cast in 1994 and was directed by danish director Ole Bornedal. Four years later this same director made a new american version with american actors. This movie called NIGHTWATCH can be found here!

Once again, this is NOT the russian movie!
59
Night Watch (Nochnoi Dozor) (2006,  R)
60
Original Sin (2001,  R)
61
Panic Room (2002,  R)
Panic Room
Very good thriller. Seen it for the second time now and it was still as exciting as the first watch. All quite believable!
62
Paths of Glory (1957,  Unrated)
Paths of Glory
The oldest movie in my collection and certainly one of the very best ones I own!
This is a movie about extreme unjustice in 1916 in France, during the First World War. It is not for soft hearts, but I recommend it to everyone!
One of Kubrick's and Douglas' most outstanding movies!
63
Pauline & Paulette (2001,  PG)
Pauline & Paulette
Realistic and beautiful story about two sisters who have to decide what will happen to their retarded sister after the fourth sister dies, the one who took care of the retarded sister.
Dora van der Groen as the retarded sister Pauline is absolutely brilliant in this film. The movie is in flemish (Dutch) but has also french subtitles. To those who can understand any of those languages I recommend you this very touching movie.
64
Premonition (2007,  PG-13)
65
Proof (2005,  PG-13)
Proof
Apparantly this film is based on a play. I did not find the movie exciting, neither emotional. I love movies which touch my heart. The story was interesting but there's something missing in this movie. Also the mathematical geniuses make me laugh because the stuff that they were reading didn't sound like something a genius could have written. It's a bit difficult to show that on screen.
Anyway the performances in this flick weren't bad at all. So give it a try.
66
Reservoir Dogs (1992,  R)
Reservoir Dogs
I enjoyed this movie as much as I enjoyed Pulp Fiction! They are very similar but Reservoir Dogs is not as complicated as Pulp Fiction. It's a typical Tarantino movie, you either love it or hate it. There's not an other alternative!
67
Resident Evil (2002,  R)
Resident Evil
Not my favourite science fiction movie, it's rather bad. Seeing zombies in a movie usually makes me laugh. Based on a pc game I'd rather play the game than watch the movie. Sounds fun to play it.
None of these actors or actresses could interest me.
68
Roger & Me (1989,  R)
Roger & Me
Michael Moore tries to talk to Roger Smith (president of General Motors during the 80ies, a company based in Flint, MI, hometown of Moore) and asks him if he wants to join him for a visit to Flint, to spend one day with the unemployed formerly GM workers. MM says "USA is the only western country that tells the unemployed to fuck off." In Europe there's social security for the disabled or unemployed. Better than in this film where a woman sells rabbits, as pets or as meat, to avoid starving. We see people being evicted from their homes on X-mas, while Roger Smith is giving his yearly (hypocritical) X-mas speech. MM says: "By laying off people you get less consumers and eventually lose on it". Pat Boone sings at the end: "I'm proud to be an American". RS certainly shouldn't be proud to be an American. MM asked the film company for a deal, which the company kept: to show the movie for free to every unemployed and to pay the rent and mortgages during 2 years of all the people shown in this movie while being evicted. The aim of the movie was in fact to raise the spirits of the umemployed Flint people. THIS FILM SHOULD BE SEEN AND TOLD!
69
Salem's Lot (2004,  PG-13)
Salem's Lot
A typical movie about vampirism. Something we all have seen before. But it is a good attempt to be scary, I would have been scared ten years ago but not anymore.
I expected a much better movie when I bought this DVD!
70
Schindler's List (1993,  R)
71
Seabiscuit (2003,  PG-13)
72
Sid & Nancy (1986,  R)
Sid & Nancy
Gary Oldman as Sid Vicious "performing" Frank Sinatra's "My Way". That is truly one of the best scenes I have ever seen in a movie, absolutely brilliant. Gary is super, but then again, I believe he was a teenager in London in the late seventies if I'm not mistaken, so who else could have performed Sid Vicious better than Gary Oldman?
I absolutely LOVED that soundtrack!
73
Sliding Doors (1998,  R)
74
Sophie Scholl: The Final Days (2006,  PG)
Sophie Scholl: The Final Days
If you like stories based on true facts, you should absolutely not miss this movie!
Early 1943 Sophie Scholl and her brother and a few friends are arrested by nazi's in Munich for having written and spread thousands of pamphlets with peace messages against Hitler's power and Nazi Germany.
Must see movie...
75
Speed (1994,  R)
76
Speed 2 - Cruise Control (1997,  PG-13)
77
Stauffenberg (Operation Valkyrie) (2004,  PG)
78
Stephen King's It (1990,  Unrated)
Stephen King's It
After Stanley Kubrick's The Shining and The Green Mile in my opinion the best Stephen King story on screen ever released.
This tale takes three hours to tell but it feels like an hour. No second of boredom. The acting is superb of all children and adult actors involved, The plot has no holes, the directing is fabulous. The switching back and forth between now and then is very well made.
I have owned this movie on VHS since I was 16 and recently bought it on DVD. I used to be very scared but when I watched it tonight I hardly jumped. Maybe I've watched it too often and knew what was coming?
Anyway, that doesn't matter. I always feel very sad though when I see young actor Jonathan Brandis and his tragic end in real life. I can't stop thinking about that.
Rest in peace Jonathan Brandis & John Ritter.
79
Super Size Me (2004,  PG-13)
Super Size Me
Morgan Spurlock is in the same league as Michael Moore! The movie may persuade people to avoid or (in my case) to keep avoiding fast food restaurants. And the only way we can stop them from being powerful is making our own dinner at home and eat healthy stuff. That's what I do! And I'm glad!
But if I ever feel suicidal again I will start doing as Morgan Spurlock is doing in this movie. Forget the gun, forget drowning, jumping, knives, drug overdoses. If you want to kill yourself do it in a pleasant way and eat your breakfast, lunch and dinner at McD or its competitors! And don't exercise!!
80
Surf's Up (2007,  PG)
81
Taxi Driver (1976,  R)
82
Ted Bundy (2002,  R)
Ted Bundy
We all know this story about America's most notorious serial killer. It is very scary when realizing that this man existed. The movie is not for weak hearts but it is filmed very well. Not too much blood. And the story is very close to the original events. It is very interesting to read Ted's original story though before watching the movie. You find the real story here
83
Terminator 3 - Rise of the Machines (2003,  R)
84
The Age of Innocence (1993,  PG)
85
The Bone Collector (1999,  R)
86
The Box Collector (2008,  PG)
87
The Deer Hunter (1978,  R)
The Deer Hunter
The movie doesn't leave you unaffected. See it , you will be touched!!
How sexy Robert de Niro is here! :-))
Christopher Walken must be the scariest actor on Earth... Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...
88
The English Patient (1996,  R)
89
The Glass House (2001,  PG-13)
90
The Good Shepherd (2006,  R)
91
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (Il Buono, il Brutto, il Cattivo.) (1966,  R)
92
The Great Gatsby (1974,  PG)
The Great Gatsby
This movie never gets boring. Real good. I recommend the book as well.
93
The Hills Have Eyes (2006,  R)
94
The Jane Austen Book Club (2007,  PG-13)
95
The King Is Alive (2001,  R)
96
The Lord of the Rings - The Fellowship of the Ring (2001,  PG-13)
The Lord of the Rings - The Fellowship of the Ring
Whenever I see this movie I am fascinated every time again by the beauty of the scenery.
In this part I absolutely adore the character of Ian McKellen.
GO GO GO IAN! YOU'RE SUPER!!
97
The Lord of the Rings - The Two Towers (2002,  PG-13)
The Lord of the Rings - The Two Towers
What would the Fellowship of the Ring do without the Ents? :) The Ents were the best part of this film.
Too many battles in this movie though, therefore I think it's worse than part one. But still 5 stars because it is another masterpiece of Peter Jackson.
98
The Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King (2003,  PG-13)
The Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King
As usual when I watch this movie my tears are flowing at the end, especially as the king says: you bow to no one.
Great movie, better than the previous!
99
Der Name der Rose (The Name of the Rose) (1986,  R)
Der Name der Rose (The Name of the Rose)
One of the best thrillers I have ever seen! Brilliant performances of all actors involved, suspense and witty dialogues... Never boring!
100
The Pianist (2002,  R)
The Pianist
Even better made than "Schindler's List"!
101
The Shawshank Redemption (1994,  R)
The Shawshank Redemption
From all the movies based on Stephen King novels this is my absolute favourite. A must see movie. So beautiful. Great actors!
102
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974,  R)
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Very poorly made horror movie. Scary? Yes! But the poor quality makes it a movie not worth seeing.
I've seen better horror flicks.
103
The War of the Roses (1989,  R)
The War of the Roses
This movie never gets boring, not even after seeing it a dozen of times. In my opinion the best work that Danny de Vito, Kathleen Turner & Michael Douglas ever did together.
104
This Divided State (2005,  Unrated)
105
Tim Burton's Corpse Bride (2005,  PG)
Tim Burton's Corpse Bride
Lovely piece of work!
106
To Die For (1995,  R)
107
Toto le Héros (Toto the Hero) (1991,  PG-13)
108
Trainspotting (1996,  R)
109
True Romance (1993,  R)
110
Walk the Line (2005,  PG-13)
Walk the Line
The music of Johnny Cash is great and also Joaquin Phoenix did a fantastic job, as well as Reese Witherspoon as June Carter. The movie was not as good as Ray but still a great piece of work worth seeing!
111
West Side Story (1961,  Unrated)
112
What's Eating Gilbert Grape (1993,  PG-13)
What's Eating Gilbert Grape
Lovely drama, very good acting of a young Leonardo DiCaprio.

    you own a lot of great movies you haven't seen yet you should give them a try
