Stormbreaker (Alex Rider: Operation Stormbreaker) (2006,  PG)
Stormbreaker (Alex Rider: Operation Stormbreaker)
This movie is bloody wicked!! I think I'd rather see Alex Rider than James Bond anyday. A young guy kicking serious butt! Definitely a wicked movie that is well worth anyone that hasn't checking it out! It's definitely worth it!
2
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006,  PG-13)
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest
I was worried this may not live up to the first one, but honestly... I think it is far superior!! The graphics, and some of the comedy action sequences are second to none. I'm so impressed I'm biting my knuckles for number three!!!!
3
Serenity (2005,  PG-13)
Serenity
This may be one of the best Sci Fi movies you will ever watch. It's simply brilliant. It ticks all the boxes for me, and carries straight on from Firefly, which is a series that should never have been cancelled. Action and fantasy galore. Bloody watch it!!
4
Casshern (2004,  Unrated)
Casshern
All I can say is... Wow!! You may get lost a couple of times, but this movie is one of the most beautiful things I have ever watched. It's like Matrix on acid. Mad colours and brilliant effects ending with a moral lesson. Awe-inspiring!
5
Ginger Snaps (2000,  R)
Ginger Snaps
Totally original in the genre of horror... It really does push most buttons. Werewolf time... Totally original story. I love this movie. The acting matches the story... in my mind,.... ground-breaking.
6
Koroshiya 1 (Ichi the Killer) (2001,  R)
Koroshiya 1 (Ichi the Killer)
This movie is completely f**ked up, but in a good way! It's sick as hell and I love it! The characterisation of Ichi is just bloody amazing. There's something sexy about Kakihara which is also weird. It lost me in some places, but gore-alicious I say!
7
Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988,  PG)
Who Framed Roger Rabbit
This film was totally ground-breaking for it's time. Freaked the crap out of me as a kid, but also put so many cartoon characters on one screen whilst intrigating the real world with the cartoon world. And tell me straight boys... Do you wanna put one in Jessica??!
8
The Color Purple (1985,  PG-13)
The Color Purple
Whoopi Goldberg, and also Oprah Winfrey... Both show just what amazing actresses they truly are. The book is one that really touched me, and unlike some screen representations this is a beautiful, touching, deep movie. Needs to be watched.
9
L.I.E. (2001,  NC-17)
L.I.E.
Brilliant coming-of-age story, but really quite shockingin places. The acting gives it the full five stars it deserves though.
10
Stay (2005,  R)
Stay
I cried. That's always going to show you that this was an amazing film. It was so bloody compelling I didn't know what to do! Watch this film now... I dare you. The acting, the filming, the theme...You name it. I'm in love with this film.
11
Piggy Banks (Born Killers) (2005,  R)
Piggy Banks (Born Killers)
This is actually a really good film. The cast are all brilliant, and you really feel for the main character even though he's a killer. Really good movie, and not one many know about.
12
Cote d'Azur (Crustaces & Coquillages) (2005,  Unrated)
Cote d'Azur (Crustaces & Coquillages)
This brilliant movie is better known as 'Cockles and Muscles' in the Western world. This film is bloody brilliant. All the characters are hiding secrets pretty much and they spin a complicated web with their relationships and issues. It's funny, yet serious at the same time! I laughed out loud when there was a musical number at the end!! Just bloody brilliant. I'm definitely going to buy it!
13
Pirates of the Caribbean - The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003,  PG-13)
Pirates of the Caribbean - The Curse of the Black Pearl
Orlando Bloom AND Johnny Depp?! Some movies just spoil you. Johnny is hilarious and the action is brilliant. Went on the ride as a kid. Can't wait for the sequel.
14
The Proposition (2005,  R)
The Proposition
The performances in this movie are totally amazing from Guy Pearce to Ray Winstone to Emaily Watson to the lesser parts. It's incredibly bleak, and makes you cringe at times, but hey, life isn't always pretty and wasn't when and where this film is set. You may not enjoy this movie, but it doesn't stop it from being a downright honest and brilliant piece of film-making.
15
Clue (1985,  PG)
Clue
This is the biggest whodunnit movie of my youth, and I love it. Tim Curry is a God (stay out of all these movies I love so much mister.. it's weird). I adore this film. Comedy, murder, and intrigue... You better know it!
16
An American Haunting (2006,  PG-13)
An American Haunting
I thought this was one of the best poltergeist movies I've ever seen and highly original! Very impressive, and the actress playing Betsy has done a role opposite from Wendy in Peter Pan as you can get! Brilliant!
17
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989,  PG-13)
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
One of the best trilogies there is. Love it, and all the cheesy action. Harrison Ford at his utter best in my opinion.
18
Party Monster (2003,  R)
Party Monster
Macaulay and Seth are both brilliant in this movie. Colourful, crazy, and well worth a watch!
19
Wolf Creek (2005,  R)
Wolf Creek
Brilliant. Very disturbing and twisted. Was quite shocked by what happened to the lead female.
20
A Lot Like Love (2005,  PG-13)
A Lot Like Love
This is the perfect Rom Com in my opinion. It's a great story with great characters. I love how they always remember each other and will contact each other after years have passed. A really lovely film. Now where can I get my own Ashton?
21
Tristan & Isolde (2006,  PG-13)
Tristan & Isolde
This film is just brilliantly acted, and is very similar to Romeo and Juliet in some ways. It's beautiful, and a brilliant period drama to make sure you check out.
22
Weekend (Week End) (1967,  Unrated)
Weekend (Week End)
A brilliant piece of film-making that I had to study at university. It is just incredibly odd at the same time though. Definitely not for everyone, but if you wanna screw with your mind then smoke ten joints and watch this movie!
23
I Spit on Your Grave (Day of the Woman) (1978,  R)
I Spit on Your Grave (Day of the Woman)
This movie is gross, and a real shocker, but in a way that's what makes it so good and unique. It was banned for ages! There are some cringing moments where you don't wanna look like the rape, and when sje seeks revenge on one of the guys cocks, but hey... That's why people love it I guess!!
24
Adam & Steve (2005,  Unrated)
Adam & Steve
This movie has some of the best one-liners. I love it. I'm a huge Parker Posey fan and this proves why. She's so dry! I love her! A really cute romantic film, with funny moments and a couple of stomach churning ones! All the better! Watch it I say! Double dare you...
25
The Trip (2003,  R)
The Trip
The relationship between the two guys is so touching that the ending is heart-wrenching. The main character's bf looks like a young Brad Pitt, but they are both so cute. Really well acted with a different storyline. It's a really good movie.
26
Ginger Snaps 2 - Unleashed (2004,  R)
Ginger Snaps 2 - Unleashed
In some ways this movie is darker thn the original even though it isn't!! I still think this is a better sequel than most!! Love it... but it's a different kind of love.
27
The Clearing (2004,  R)
The Clearing
Wow!! seems people hate this movie, but if you can honestly fault the acting then tell me now. The lovely Helen Mirren nearly out-acted Defoe and Redford. Actually, maybe she did. I'm sorry, but because of the acting and the story this deserves to be in my favourites. It's a brilliant film.
28
Trick (1999,  R)
Trick
I haven't watched this film in years, and definitely get the feeling it is time to watch it again. I remember really enjoying it, and fancying Neve's brother rotton though!
29
Comme un frère (Like a Brother) (2005,  Unrated)
Comme un frère (Like a Brother)
Quite a lovely heart-warming coming of age gay film. Definitely worth watching the once. Check it out.
30
Love in Thoughts (2004,  Unrated)
Love in Thoughts
I thought it was well acted and an interesting story. Very touching, and the feelings and emotions that run through the characters are displayed strongly.
31
Slither (2006,  R)
Slither
Totally f**ked up, but great fun! Gotta love it!! I certainly did! The effects were brilliant and the comedy hilarious!
32
Hellbent (2005,  R)
Hellbent
A gay slasher flick. I collect horror movies so I have to love this!! I think it's well worth a watch and a giggle.
33
Cowboys & Angels (2003,  Unrated)
Cowboys & Angels
This is a beautiful movie about the ups and downs of starting to live on your own and of friendship and curiosity. Really lovely movie and I highly recommend it.
34
Legend (1985,  PG)
Legend
Tom Cruise is absolutely beautiful in this film. I had a total crush when I first watched when I was younger. Yummy. And Tim Curry is genius as ever.
35
Red Eye (2005,  PG-13)
Red Eye
Brilliant thriller. I'm a huge fan of Cillian Murphy, and this film shows why.
36
Cats & Dogs (2001,  PG)
Cats & Dogs
Brilliant kids movie. The effects and comedy make this film hilarious.
37
Flightplan (2005,  PG-13)
Flightplan
Some people slate it, but I really enjoyed it. Jodie was brilliant as ever right to the very end.
38
Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005,  PG-13)
Mr. & Mrs. Smith
Some people hated it! I loved it. Imagine a threesome with these two? Hell yeah! Throwing each other around? I'd so pop a viagra for Ms Jolie!
39
Hitch (2005,  PG-13)
Hitch
One of the best comedy romances recently. Hilarious, but touching. Love it.
40
A Walk to Remember (2002,  PG)
A Walk to Remember
So, you think... oh no, Mandy Moore as an actress? She's brilliant as she proves in this film. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll feel so fuzzy you puke...
41
Dazed and Confused (1993,  R)
Dazed and Confused
The best stoner movie EVER! End of. Bloody brilliant cast. Think there must be something wrong with me to fancy someone called Wiley Wiggins in real life, but hey!! Totally LOVE this movie!!
42
Superman Returns (2006,  PG-13)
Superman Returns
I was hooked from start to finish with this movie! Welcome to Hollywood Brandon Routh you sexy sexy man! Love it. Can't wait for the next one!! Bring it on I say! And Parker Posey is as fierce as ever!!
43
V for Vendetta (2006,  R)
V for Vendetta
I was worried I was going to hate this movie, but I think it is bloody brilliant, and a great pointer as to what can happen with political dictatorship, as well as having some great action. V is one of the best characters I've seen in a while!
44
Imagine Me & You (2006,  R)
Imagine Me & You
This movie is so cute I couldn't help but love it. I totally fell in love with Matthew Goode's character and wished he'd run off with me!! One of the better lesbian flicks. Much better than Kissing Jessica Stein!! Watch it!!
45
Lords of Dogtown (2005,  PG-13)
Lords of Dogtown
This is the best skateboard movie you will ever see! Based on a true story with a hot cast of amazing characters it is simply brilliant. One you could probably watch again and again. If you haven't seen it, then take a couple of hours out of your life to do so!
46
Imaginary Heroes (2004,  R)
Imaginary Heroes
One of the best movies I'd seen in a long time. Watching each member of the family struggle with their own demons after the death of the oldest son is just amazing. They are all completely different characters with their own slight similarities. It is really funny in places and completely poignant. Sigourney Weaver and Emile Hirsch steal the show and rightly so. If you haven't seen it then check it out NOW. You won't be disappointed!!
47
The Emperor's Club (2002,  PG-13)
The Emperor's Club
This definitely sounds like my kind of film. One to own methinks. Maybe watch it first!
48
Elephant (2003,  R)
Elephant
This movie sounds wicked, and right up my alley. I adore Gus Vant Sant anyway, so wanna check this out.
49
Havoc (2005,  R)
Havoc
This has a couple of my fave actors and sounds good! I want it now!!
50
Mrs. Henderson Presents (2006,  R)
Mrs. Henderson Presents
Very funny, yet touching at times, and a brilliant slice of entertainment. I've always been intrigued by burlesque, and some of the images remind me of that. Oh yes, and can I have Will Young for Xmas please? Thanks....
51
El Laberinto del Fauno (Pan's Labyrinth) (2006,  R)
El Laberinto del Fauno (Pan's Labyrinth)
A truly phenomenal modern fairy tale masterpiece. This movie had me gripped throughout. I was sympathetic to certain characters from the start and intrigued what my eyes would behold as I carried on watching it. True brilliance.
52
The Hitcher (2007,  R)
The Hitcher
Sean and Sophia act their pants off in this film. It is an absolutely brilliant thriller, and definitely one that will keep you on the edge of your seat so check it out!!!
53
The Guardian (2006,  PG-13)
The Guardian
Just a brilliant drama movie to be honest. Brilliant cast. It must have taking some serious training for the actors to be put through their paces as they were. Demi Moore is one lucky lady to have Ashton. I'd definitely fake drowning if he'd come and save me!!
54
The Departed (2006,  R)
The Departed
Wow... What a twisted but brilliant movie. Phenomanally acted, and a real credit to Martin Scorsese's direction. Twists and turns a plenty and more uses of the f-word than most movies! Bloody amazing.
55
The Host (Gwoemul) (2007,  R)
The Host (Gwoemul)
This movie is completely original. I was really impressed. Great special effects, and a a thoroughly modern creature feature. Asian film-makers have done it again! Let's hope it isn't American-ised like so many other great Asian movies have been ruined in doing so. Check it out!
56
The Fountain (2006,  PG-13)
The Fountain
Holy wow... This is one of the most amazing movies you will see. Sometimes it tries too hard, but it has great themes, symbolism and the most amazing cinematogrpahy that is second to none. Astonishingly beautiful shots that will simply surprise you. Keeps your brain ticking...
57
Keeping Mum (2005,  R)
Keeping Mum
There is nothing like a good black comedy, and this film does not disappoint! Dame Maggie Smith is an absolute diamond as ever, and the rest of the cast are hilarious. This movie is great fun and nicely twisted. Mum and I had a good giggle.
58
The Holiday (2006,  PG-13)
The Holiday
This is definitely one of the best romantic comedies you'll see. Loved the originality of the house-swapping idea. It was a bit predictable in places, but is utterly fantastic in my opinion. Loved it. I adore Kate Winslet.
59
Stay Alive (2006,  PG-13)
Stay Alive
I actually thoroughly enjoyed it! It has a great B List cast and is incredibly original in a way, using computer graphics so much. I alwfays loved this one death on one of the Nightmare On Elm Street movies where a kid is sucked into a game, and this kinda reminds me of that. Worth checking.
60
Strange Days (1995,  R)
Strange Days
I stumbled across this movie late at night, and boy am I glad I did! Just a great and original sci fi concept which you can completely relate to. Action and fantasy combined with Angela Bassett proving she can kick some ass. Highly recommend this!
61
Twelve and Holding (12 and Holding) (2006,  R)
Twelve and Holding (12 and Holding)
Wow... An absolute unexpected pleasure. You follow the lives of these three twelve year olds as three plots, but linked from their friendship. It's just a surprisingly honest look at problems many people can hjave to a lesser extent. Brilliant cast, and brilliantly original. I adore it!
62
The Hamiltons (2006,  R)
The Hamiltons
I was totally impressed by this movie! If you're a horror fan like me then it is a breath of fresh air! A movie about a killer family may not be original, but when it's from the point of view of the family, and one doesn't wanna take after the rest? A recipe for brilliance. Totally loved it, and had a great twist...
63
Taxidermia (2006,  Unrated)
Taxidermia
An incredibly original and grotesque look at obsessions, which leads into in being a stroke of genius. Is is definitely a movie you cannot compare to any other, and is incredibly bizarre, which is it's beauty. There's some amazing cinematography as well...
64
11:14 (2003,  R)
11:14
This movie is bloody brilliant. One of the best movies I have seen recently. It's very clever the way everyone's stories intertwine and how one small action can affect you or someone else. Marvellous...
65
Sunshine (2007,  R)
Sunshine
This is one of the best sci fi movies I have seen. Completely original and amazingly well done. I also like the fact that as with The Day After Tomorrow... It could actually happen.
66
Fracture (2007,  R)
Fracture
Brilliantly acted. As if it wouldn't have been! There's a little bit of Hannibal in Hopkins' character, and Gosling is broody and sexy as always. Really loved the relationship between their two characters and how a look means a thousand words. Great stuff.
67
Black Snake Moan (2007,  R)
Black Snake Moan
This movie is bloody brilliant! I was worried I wasn't, but I thought it was a great concept. There are a few people I know that need to be on a chain to repent and several I'd like to help myself!! LOL. Even my mum got into it in the end! Justin & Christina... Hot hot hot...
68
Pathfinder (2007,  R)
Pathfinder
This could well have some of the best natural cinematography you have ever seen! Brilliant action, and story, and characters too. Pretty bloody though, and I'm surprised there wasn't a higher rating for it. Check it out though, definitely!!
69
Next (2007,  PG-13)
Next
This is an ultimate action movie that keeps you guessing, which is the best kind!! Completely original with simply amazing scenes. Absolutely loved it. I just wish Nicholas Cage could stop being Nicholas Cage as he is exactly the same in every movie despite whatever hair-style and how great the movie is!!!
70
The Blossoming of Maximo Oliveros (Ang Pagdadalaga ni Maximo Oliveros) (2006,  Unrated)
The Blossoming of Maximo Oliveros (Ang Pagdadalaga ni Maximo Oliveros)
This is one of the sweetest foreign movies I have seen in a long time. It has a big heart. It's like a grittier 'Ma Vie En Rose'. Much better characters and actors. The lead makes you realise how beautiful he is without hardly trying, although he does have more mince than the local butcher's!! Brilliant.
71
Letters from Iwo Jima (2007,  R)
Letters from Iwo Jima
This movie has a lot more heart and soul than Flags of Our Fathers. It shows the Japanese showing more mercy than the Americans which was surprising, although not at the same time. It shows the futility of war when one nation is a giant compared to the other. You can relate it to any war you like. I love the bleakness of the cinematography colours too.
72
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007,  PG)
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
This is definitely one of the best Superhero movies. The action and effects were phenomenal. It had a great story. I love the actors, and you get Chris Evans with his shirt off... What more could you want in a movie?!
73
Zodiac (2007,  R)
Zodiac
It is great watching this movie unravel. It unravels slowly, but so did the case over the years, so why should the movie be any faster? I actually cringed at the killings. Probably because I knew this happened to actual people. I'm sure the Zodiac is smiling from his grave that this movie was made. All I can say is great drama, and at least it did the actual case justice...
74
Spider-Man 3 (2007,  PG-13)
Spider-Man 3
The effects are phenomenal as ever, and you definitely cannot get bored watching this!! Totally loved it. My only issue is that maybe they had too much going on, what with the Green Goblin, Sandman, black Spidy, and then Venom. Venom deserves a whole film to himself, so they better bloody resurrect him!!
75
Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon (2007,  R)
Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon
This movie is genius in my opinion. It completely deconstructs the mind of a serial killer, and in a way sympathizes in a clever way as we follow the killer with a film crew, and see what he is really like. Clever and original. Love it!
76
Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End (2007,  PG-13)
Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End
Bloody brilliant action... Amazing effects. Johnny Depp stealing the show as ever. Exactly what you would want to see in the Pirates third installment. Geoffrey Rush is excellent as ever as well, and I still want to sit on Orlando's face. Great stuff!
77
Hairspray (2007,  PG)
Hairspray
I was so worried at the beginning as it started off quite slow in a way, but as a movie and as a musical it got better and better. The songs got better, and the characters got better. I was loving John Travolta as Edna Turnblad, although I was really confused as Edna sounded exactly like Dr Evil from Austin Powers!! Anyway, this movie is colourful and is sheer and absolute entertainment. Brilliant.
78
Azumi (2003,  Unrated)
Azumi
Bloody brilliant martial arts action movie. One of the best I have EVER seen, and if you think you could have fit any more action sequences into this movie then your nose must be bigger than Pinocchio's! Keeps you gripped from beginning to end with an amazing amount of gore and awe-inducing sequences. I cannot fault it!
79
Transformers (2007,  PG-13)
Transformers
Wow!! You could not wish to see more special effects in a movie. Completely jam-packed, and if you tell me you got bored watching it then there is something wrong with you! It is a stunning action film. The only thing lacking for me was not seeing enough of the Transformers' personalities. That's a small shame...
80
The Slumber Party Massacre (1982,  R)
The Slumber Party Massacre
This may be a generic slasher, but it was actually pretty good in my eyes. A bit of a classic. There's no real explanation for why the guy is picking off the girls, until the end when he's telling a girl "You know you want it..." with a big drill in his hand. Very phallic. It's almost as if as he kills them he is violating them, but the penetration is with an actual weapon. I just found the analogy interesting. Anyway, if you like classic horror then don't miss it!
81
Reality Bites (1993,  PG-13)
Reality Bites
Brilliant cast, and a completely classic romantic drama. Ahh... the issues of falling for one of your friends. I think we've all been there! Just brilliant!
82
Them (Ils) (2007,  R)
Them (Ils)
I hadn't seen a French horror before and I've got to say I was pretty impressed. Just enough suspense, or maybe not quite enough! But it was interesting and disturbing to realise who 'They' actually were...
83
Jet Li's Fearless (Huo Yuan Jia) (Legend of a Fighter) (2006,  PG-13)
Jet Li's Fearless (Huo Yuan Jia) (Legend of a Fighter)
This movie is a flawless martial arts movie in my opinion... It has the most amazing story-line which is actually true as the protagonist was the founder of an actual martial arts federation, and just some of the best moves you will see in one of these movies. Jet Li hasn't disappointed yet again!
84
Surf's Up (2007,  PG)
Surf's Up
This is even better than Happy Feet and that is one of my fave animated movies of all time! You can't beat this movie... It's an animated mockumentary with such comic humour I wanna kiss Chicken Joe before I turn him into nuggets. It's a movie that is a real joy and made me laugh far more than a lot of real-life comedies. F**king brilliant. And I mean that!
85
The Brave One (2007,  R)
The Brave One
This is a movie that reminded me what a phenomenal actress Jodie Foster is. It is a completely brilliant revenge movie as well, and really makes you question what is wrong and what is right? I completely went on the journey with Jodie's character and in my opinion this is a must see movie...
86
Knocked Up (2007,  R)
Knocked Up
This is one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. It is absolutely hilarious! Some of the best lines in it, and very honest in a lot of ways I think. You totally sympathise with the two main characters, and the supporting cast are equally brilliant! This is a movie most people should be able to enjoy!!
87
Disturbia (2007,  PG-13)
Disturbia
Wow! David Morse is generally scary as the neighbour in suspicion. Definitely an amazing drama/thriller. It actually scared me more than most horrors and is a brilliant concept! What would I do if I was under house arrest? Probably go insane! I definitely wouldn't spy on mnay of my neighbours as this neighbourhood is dull! Sheer genius though!
88
Ratatouille (2007,  G)
Ratatouille
This is one of the most beautiful movies to watch! The animation is second to none, and it's great fun for anyone of any age. Some of the shots they've created are just stunning. A complete must-see...
89
Stardust (2007,  PG-13)
Stardust
This is a completely original fairy tale I was thoroughly impressed by... Really enjoyable from Ms Danes as a star in human form to Mr DeNiro as a gay pirate. Great fun, great effects, and yet again Ms Pfeiffer makes a great b***h, and Charlie Cox is a loveable nerd. Brilliant casting.
90
Wrong Turn 2: Dead End (2007,  Unrated)
Wrong Turn 2: Dead End
This is the daddy of all horror sequels! Even better than the first in my opinion. The body count is higher on both sides, the deaths are some amazing effects, and it has the ultimate original story-line. Bloody brilliant! And I mean BLOODY!!
91
Shoot 'Em Up (2007,  R)
Shoot 'Em Up
This movie does exactly what it says in the title... But it is ridiculous beyond belief! You can't get bored, it has one of the best sex scenes ever, and you barely go without action, but completely far fetched! The fact it kept me hooked means I give it slightly more than I would of done!
92
The Golden Compass (2007,  PG-13)
The Golden Compass
Just a brilliantly done beautiful fansy flick that anyone can enjoy! I can't wait for the next ones. Nicole Kidman makes a great villainess, and the CGI is bloody brilliant. Even the casting of the voices rocks.
93
Halloween (2007,  R)
Halloween
This is a great re-invention of Halloween. It was really great to see some more of Michael as a kid and trying to get your head around how he works. Has a really great cast and Rob Zombie has shown himself to be a great horror director once more! If you're a fan of the original and want to stay true I understand, but this is equally as brilliant and definitely worth a watch...
94
Black Sheep (2006,  Unrated)
Black Sheep
This is a movie that is completely original and entertaining! Hilarious points to it, and great mix of characters and gore! There are times when it pays homage to movies like 'An American Werewolf in London' with the effects amongst other things, but bloody brilliant and a complete riot! If you haven't seen it yet then you're missing out! Love it!
95
Enchanted (2007,  PG)
Enchanted
I honestly didn't think I'd enjoy this movie just as much as I ended up doing! It really is complete and thorough family entertainment... There are references that anyone can understand, and the fact that it is a Disney movie that takes the mickey (if you'll excuse the pun) out of itself is fab! The songs, the chipmunk, and the outright cheesiness are sheer brilliance!
96
The Invasion (2007,  PG-13)
The Invasion
I actually thoroughly injoyed this movie and thought it was like an alien version of 28 Days Later... The acting was brilliant, as I thought was the story-line. Many will disagree, but I highly recommend it... Well deserved paranoia thrown in for good measure, which I usually hate in movies!
97
I Am Legend (2007,  PG-13)
I Am Legend
It was about time there was a movie that was a tour-de-force for Will other than Ali, and this is it. A film with brilliant effects and amazing heart, but at the same time got a bit irritating in places. Nevertheless it is definitely worth a watch and is extremely well done. Would you have done things differently though?
98
Bloodrayne (2006,  R)
Bloodrayne
I actually really enjoyed this movie. The Terminator chick can kick some ass!! There's some fab sequences and loving the story-line, but as Rayne realises... shit happens!! This isn't great, but hey, we love some good fun!
99
Juno (2007,  PG-13)
Juno
This movie has got the biggest heart of any movie I've seen in ages. The dialogue is second to none, as are the characters. Brilliantly funny, brilliantly moving, and I can't fault it. My favourite movie for a long time. Love it!!!

Planet Terror (Grindhouse Presents: Robert Rodriguez's Planet Terror) (2007,  R)
Planet Terror (Grindhouse Presents: Robert Rodriguez's Planet Terror)
This movie rocks harder than Led Zeppelin and Nirvana mixed, with more guts than 50 abbertoires. Rose McGowan totally rules as always, and this movie can totally take the mick out of itself. Humour, action, gore... All in abundance! Completely original! Check it...
101
The Entity (1982,  R)
The Entity
This movie was incredibly well acted. It must have been extremely difficult for the main actress to put herself through the stress of the distressing scenes. Really quite disturbing and dramatic. Only main flaw is maybe it was a bit too long, but I was quietly impressed...
102
Definitely, Maybe (2008,  PG-13)
Definitely, Maybe
This is one of those movies where the ending really makes it a complete package of a great RomCom. The concept is original, and the cast is basically perfect in each role. The word for this movie is... Lovely... And it's thoroughly watchable with a great ending.
103
Mr. Brooks (2007,  R)
Mr. Brooks
This really seems to be a career defining role for Costner. It's completely different to anything he's done before and BLOODY brilliant. Literally. I love it. All of the twists and turns with respectful characters makes this a pretty great film. Check the acting!
104
W Delta Z (The Killing Gene) (2007,  R)
W Delta Z (The Killing Gene)
Wow... Wasn't expecting that in a movie. Especially wasn't thinking a movie like this would make you think about love. Great acting from the whole cast, and a film that really pushes boundaries. Much more impressed than I thought I would be in every way.
105
I Could Never Be Your Woman (2007,  PG-13)
I Could Never Be Your Woman
Now this is a romantic comedy! I could not stop giggling through most of it. The jokes and certain acting were hilarious. The daughter was the biggest drama queen. The cameos were brilliant. weirdly loads of UK cameos, and just very original, and definitely worth a watch. I think you could surprise yourself at how much you enjoy this movie!
106
Untraceable (2008,  R)
Untraceable
This movie is pretty sick in places, but then hey, more and more films are getting like that. The premise is pretty original, and it's done really well. Diane Lane totally steals the movie. Really good as long as you aren't squeamish.
107
All the Boys Love Mandy Lane (2006,  R)
All the Boys Love Mandy Lane
Oh yes they do... A twisted little slasher that is more impressive than you'd think. Love the madness of this movie and how you think it is set in stone. Me loves a good slasher and this one surprised me!
108
Cars (2006,  G)
Cars
This movie just got better and better, and was seriously funny, as well as original. I'm concerned as to how in a world of cars the first one came about and how they pro-create, but just genius in every other respect! The clips in the credits were even funny, and I loved the character of Mater. Good clean fun you can definitely watch time & again!
109
WALL-E (2008,  G)
WALL-E
Action, romance, and science fiction... This is the only movie I need, an any child or adult should feel the same!! This is stunning... This is the way Short Circuit would have been if the animation was like it is now. You fall in love not only with WALL.E but EVE and MO too. It pushes every single button within you no matter what age you are. Thoroughly amazing, and if you haven't seen it yet then what's your problem?!
110
The Dark Knight (2008,  PG-13)
The Dark Knight
Wow... Heath Ledger is absolutely phenomenal in this movie. Talk about leaving this planet with a bang. I thought Brandon Lee in The Crow did that in style, but Heath gives us a Tour de Force as the ultimate Joker. This movie brings it all... From Bale's brooding Batman once more to Eckhart similarly rubbing Tommy Lee's Two-Face into the dust. More disturbing, dark, and brilliant than any of those earlier Batman films... Sheer genius of comic hero perfection...
111
Halloween Night (2006,  Unrated)
Halloween Night
I actually thought this wasn't bad for a generic teen slasher! The acting was bad from some of the actors, but the make-up and killings were pretty good, if a little predictable sometimes! I loved the lesbian beating up the killer until she got skewered with a coat hanger! Worth it just for that I think! Plus, I love Rebekah Kochan after Eating Out!
112
Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008,  R)
Forgetting Sarah Marshall
I'm not a big Rom-Com fan, but I adore this movie... Where can I get a man crying over me?! *sniff* No, really... Great concept and brilliantly pulled off. Even I'd go for the receptionist..
113
Tremors 3 - Back to Perfection (2001,  PG)
Tremors 3 - Back to Perfection
People can diss this sequel as much as they want, but I am now officially a fan... It goes the comic route, but in a good way... Bit like an Evil Dead. It's not the original, but I'm guessing it's nowhere near as bad as a number 2! I thoroughly enjoyed it! Great banter. Some good characters, some bad acting... Genius! I've had a few ass blasters in my day anyway!
114
Hancock (2008,  PG-13)
Hancock
I think Will Smith & Charlize do a pretty bloody good job in this. It's a really enjoyable twist on the superhero yarn... I do think that even more could have been done to be honest, but it's great fun, and definitely worth watching again, if just for the effects.
115
Iron Man (2008,  PG-13)
Iron Man
The casting is genius... Jeff Bridges as I've never seen him before, and Robert Downey Jr is amazing. The sequences are brilliant, but is it selfish that I wanted just slightly more?! This is what super hero movies should be like (take not Hulk), and I am definitely excited about the next instalment!
116
Doomsday (2008,  R)
Doomsday
This movie takes no prisoners... Even though the whole of Scotland is imprisoned within itself! If you worry about getting bored in a movie... Well, you don't have a chance to in this one... It is phenomenal... I can even let slide that while one faction ends up being cannibalistic punks the other have reverted to medieval times, because this is an action movie tour de force with a hell of a lot of guts (literally!) and well worth a watch!
117
Wanted (2008,  R)
Wanted
Well, he definitely left me with a point at the end! Angelina and James are so sexy my groin hurts! The effects are amazing, and the premise is cool. The movie itself is very cool, and full of action... Though, more is Wanted!
118
Paranoid Park (2007,  R)
Paranoid Park
There are some brilliant camera shots in this, and it has the most eclectic soundtrack I've heard in a while. Gabe Nevins plays the moody skate-boarding lead really well (although I'm guessing it wasn't a stretch), and is scarily beautiful. You can't help but want to watch him. Very interesting drama... But it does has dull points where you're willing something to happen!
119
[Rec] (2007,  R)
[Rec]
This movie just gets better and better... If you want a horror that could genuinely freak you out, and you don't mind it being world cinema then take a chance on this. It is filmed incredibly well, and blows Blair Witch & Cloverfield well out the water with hand-held freakiness! A couple of jump out your seat moments too, but I'll leave you to find them... Genius!
120
Pathology (2008,  R)
Pathology
This movie did keep me guessing, and made me a bit schizophrenic myself, as I wasn't quite sure where Milo's character was going as he got darker, and the other main actor was going right over the edge. At one point I was worried about a Fight Club ending, but actually the last half hour of the film, and the ending redeemed it no end! Just wish we could have got to know Alyssa's character a bit better!
121
Beowulf (2007,  PG-13)
Beowulf
It's weird, because I started the film wishing it was the real actors... I know the motions and faces pretty much were, but then why go to all that trouble to turn them into near-flawless animation? A story I've wanted on screen for a while and after watching this maybe it wouldn't have been so great another way. Pretty amazing, and a sign of our times.
122
Victor Victoria (1982,  PG)
Victor Victoria
This movie is just phenomenal! I was laughing throughout, Julie Andrews and Lesley Ann Warren were phenomenal, and deserved their Oscar nominations for their roles in it, the music is brilliant, as is the story-line. This movie is so risque for it's time what with a certain epidemic coming out at the time. Now one of my favourote movies for originality and brilliance...
123
Foxfire (1996,  R)
Foxfire
This movie was a nice surprise... Angelina's name drew me to it, and watching it I realised it must have been when she had her lesbian relationship, as the girl is in it. The characters are really good, Ms Jolie's breasts look amazing (haha!), and you can see similarities between her character in this and her Oscar-winning performance in "Girl, Interrupted", but it's a good gritty drama. Girl power I say!
124
Project: ALF (1996,  Unrated)
Project: ALF
I had to watch this movie for nostalgia purposes, and Alf the alien is still as funny as he always was! Rocket the robet is also comedy value in this movie spin off. It's a shame all the human actors weren't so great... Especially MartinSheen as the Colonel who holds Alf completely responsible for his mother's demise. He was pathetic. But if you want some cheap giggles at Alf's humour it's great fun!
125
Overboard (1987,  PG)
Overboard
I always forget just how much I love this movie! Goldie at her best. It's silly, but something you can watch with your family and be entertained and feel nice and warm and fuzzy after... Bless...
126
Role Models (2008,  R)
Role Models
If you want a movie that makes you laugh out loud throught then this is definitely the one for you! The potty-mouthed kid will keep you with a smile on your face, while the role-player is so endearing you wanna give him a hug and go fight some battles with him. Loving it...
127
Death Proof (Grindhouse Presents) (2007,  R)
Death Proof (Grindhouse Presents)
I love to see women give a man what he deserves! A woman scorned and all that... Especially after Stuntman Mike has committed such atrocities and ends up screaming like a girl! It's poetic... There are really drawn out parts, but I understand why after the Grindhouse movies had to split in two! Brilliant gore effects and fast stunts... Definitely edge of your seat stuff at times...
128
Sparkle (2007,  Unrated)
Sparkle
Sparkle is a hidden gem that I stumbled across! Stockhard Channing, with Anthony Head as her gay brother?! And the lead guy is doing her and her daughter! That's a crude explanation! But it's just a brilliant romantic drama, and I adore it!!
129
Bolt (2008,  PG)
Bolt
I watched this beautiful movie in 3D and wished I was closer to the screen, but this film still amazed me! Bolt may not be a robot, but he has me barking mad for him, and I want a hampster like Rhino! He's hilarious! Brilliant movie!
130
In Bruges (2008,  R)
In Bruges
Just Wow... You have so many mixed feelings watching this movie it's intrue. It is deeply and darkly funny, yet completely tragic in places. Colin Farrell is genius in the role, and you root for him, not matter how much of a twat he's acting. Complete bloody movie genius... And he totally hates Bruges! I can vouch it is one of the most beautiful cities in the world...
131
27 Dresses (2008,  PG-13)
27 Dresses
I actually really enjoyed this... It's a nice heart-warming rom-com that you can snuggle up & watch & have a bit of a giggle. I want to know if someone that wedding nutso actually exists? Well worth a watch.
132
Star Trek (2009,  PG-13)
Star Trek
Yes, I knew I was still a die-hard Trekkie. This movie has given me faith again! This has got to be one of the best Sci Fi movies ever made! I was completely impressed with it... Every single second is well done! Chekhov shouldn't really have been in it if we're being accurate to the original series, as the insertion of his character upset Shatner back in the day, but other things were hinted at, and this was a parallel universe where circumstances have changed so I'll forgive it!! MORE PLEASE!! Much more!!
133
Drag Me to Hell (2009,  PG-13)
Drag Me to Hell
This movie is bloody genius! I loved it! I don't think I have ever jumped so much watching a film! It is pure cheese in places, and quite gratuitous, but it completely works. You don't need to take it seriously, because it doesn't take itself seriously. The bitch fight between Christine, and the old woman is cinematic gold... Reminiscent of the fight in Death Becomes Her. This movie is a must-see! Just make sure you take a valium first...
134
The Condemned (2007,  R)
The Condemned
This may not be in quite the same league as "Battle Royale", but it's a similar vein of movie, and actually thoroughly surprised! I thought any movie with "Stone Cold" Steve Austin & Vinnie Jones was gonna be for complete meat-heads, but think I was proved wrong. It is well made, full of action, and gore, and even has some heart and soul in it. Bloody good! Literally...
135
Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging (2008,  PG-13)
Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging
This is a seriously feel good movie, and you completely warm up to loving it. The girl that plays Georgia is endearing, and the guy that plays her love interest is beautiful. Just a really good movie that's suitable for most to watch!
136
He's Just Not That Into You (2009,  PG-13)
He's Just Not That Into You
This was one of the best rom-coms I've seen in ages. All the different characters & their different issues and entanglements gave it a believability, and you're rooting for the characters throughout. A stellar cast and a great script means it is well worth sitting down with some friends and a cup of hot chocolate to watch this.
137
G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra (2009,  PG-13)
G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra
I was pleasantly surprised by this film. I thought it was going to be far more cheesy than it actually was! Absolutely amazing effects, and constant non-stop action, and good characters. I would have loved an older glassification & making it slightly more gritty and adult, but hey... If you want action then this is your movie. Definitely a film you can lose track of time watching! And the eye candy is always appreciated...
138
Twilight (2008,  PG-13)
Twilight
Okay, so it's no wonder people are talking about this movie. It is absolutely beautifully done. I am so glad I finally saw it... It is everything people say & more & that is the truest compliment I can give. Watch it... Now!!
139
Push (2009,  PG-13)
Push
This is a bit like X Men but without the silly costumes! I actually really enjoyed it! Some say it's flawed, but compared to crap like Jumper this is a brilliant sci fi movie, and quite original. I hope there is a sequel, because I love the darkness in this movie, and the bit of history. Definitely one worth checking out for any sci fi fan.
140
Låt den Rätte Komma In (Let the Right One in) (2008,  R)
Låt den Rätte Komma In (Let the Right One in)
Wow. This is a coming of age story you have never seen. This is a vampire movie you have never seen. It is a foreign film du force. Just unbelievably good with young actors that bring it to life. Poignant, pale, and abosolutely poetic. I can't praise this movie enough. You watching it is the only justice.
141
Tormented (2009,  R)
Tormented
One of the best Brit horrors I've seen in a while! The cast is hot, the deaths are bloody, and some parts are a bit comical. Like Marmite you'll either love it or hate it! It's Skins meets any teen slasher! If you killed yourself after being bullied at school, wouldn't you reek revenge on your attackers? I would. Enjoyably evil.
142
Milk (2008,  R)
Milk
Wow! The reviews and the Oscars don't even do this film justice. It's really empowering to watch the story of someone like Milk, who campaigned so much for not only us gays, but all minorities. It's people like him, and the gays involved in the Stonewall riots that paved the way for us to be so much luckier today and not have to hide in the woodwork. I wasn't a Sean Penn fan at all until watching this film, but he embodied the real-life character he played. From smiling to anger to crying... This movie brought out every emotion. Phenomenal.
143
Teeth (2007,  R)
Teeth
This movie is just so bloody wrong it's right! Definitely an original concept... Vagina Dentata... It's like having a built-in chastity belt! This movie is funny, spiteful, and genius! But as a guy, you will be reaching for your ging gang goolies... Watch it and giggle.
144
Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (2008,  PG)
Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa
This could even be better than the first! Just a great fun movie! Very funny and enjoyable! And great to see some relationships building! I wanna see what Marvin & Gloria's kids will look like! Haha! Penguins are as awesome as ever. Need a penguin movie.
145
Chi Bi (Red Cliff) (2008,  R)
Chi Bi (Red Cliff)
This is a completely epic war movie... Visually stunning with amazing characters. The battle sequences are second to none, apart from the fact you can get confused as to which side you are watching, or which section of the allies is fighting. That does make it more confusing. The various ways in which each side strikes an attack, from sending their typhoid-inflicted dead, to collecting the oppositions arrows by getting them to shoot at them, were just sheer utter genius. This movie is a sensory tour de force.
146
Pineapple Express (2008,  R)
Pineapple Express
Funny, unpredictable, and just downright enoyable.... Definitely one to check out if you haven't!! Full of stupid but great elements. It's the main characters and their friendships that make it. You kinda wish you were part of the fun.... Without losing part of your ear...
147
The Children (2008,  R)
The Children
Wow... Kids really can be scary... And this movie proves it. Village of the Damned and The Exorcist eat your heart out. Bit more the girls in The Shining. FREAKY!! SO well edited it's untrue. Makes me think twice about working for Disney again. It's ashame it's not explained why all this is happening, but I applaud this film, and thought it was sheer genius.
