1
Wait Until Dark (1967,  Unrated)
Wait Until Dark
This is the screen's most memorable thrillers. Alan Arkin's especially frightened as the psychotic gang's mastermind who alternates between moments of deceptive charm and sudden violence in this attempt to separate Audrey Hepburn from the doll.
2
Wake of Death (2004,  R)
Wake of Death
I have never seen Van Damme in this punishing thriller before his latest movies.
3
Walk the Line (2005,  PG-13)
Walk the Line
Very good and emotional true story of couple country singers.
4
Walking Tall (2004,  PG-13)
Walking Tall
This remake movie with The Rock is okay, but he's more tough in this dangerously action.
5
Wall Street (1987,  R)
6
Wallace and Gromit in 'A Matter of Loaf and Death' (2008,  Unrated)
Wallace and Gromit in 'A Matter of Loaf and Death'
Really excitement, funny and adventure with laughs and some scenes do look familiar like Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Psycho (Gromit enters in local celebrity Piella Bakewell's house) and Aliens (Piella vs her poddle, Fluffles in the bulldozer). Award-winning director Nick Park created his much loved claymation characters to more effective short format than his latest three Wallace & Gromit short films.
7
Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005,  G)
Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit
Brilliant funny and adventures of cheese-loving inventor and his savvy canine companion in their first featured animated film since their short films. Lots of laughs as I started to like Wallace & Gromit when my best friend told about that because he's a huge fan.
8
War and Peace (1956,  PG)
9
War of the Worlds (2005,  PG-13)
War of the Worlds
Good sci-fi suspense as Tom Cruise's surprisingly good as the irresponsible dad who faces killer aliens and mass destruction.
10
The War Wagon (1967,  Unrated)
The War Wagon
Good, while not John Wayne at his best, this western, costarring Kirk Douglas and directed by Burt Kennedy, does have plenty of laughs and action.
11
The Warriors (1979,  R)
The Warriors
Excitement and action of a street gang fighting their lives in the urban jungle for a night.
12
The Waterboy (1998,  PG-13)
The Waterboy
Good comedy on Adam Sandler hits hardest onto other players in football.
13
We Were Soldiers (2002,  R)
14
Waterworld (1995,  PG-13)
Waterworld
Kevin Costner's character is like a Mad Max-style of the futuristic waterworld.
15
Return of the Dragon (The Way of the Dragon) (1972,  R)
Return of the Dragon (The Way of the Dragon)
Cool kung fu of Bruce Lee who squares off against karate legend Chuck Norris for the most exciting one-on-one encounters ever committed to celluloid.
16
Wedding Crashers (2005,  R)
Wedding Crashers
Hot, sexy and really comedy. I like Aussie Isle Fisher's character acting wild on one of mediators.
17
The Wedding Date (2005,  PG-13)
The Wedding Date
Very good hilarious romantic comedy with beautiful Debra Messing finding a perfect guy as her escort date for the wedding.
18
Weekend With Kate (1990,  Unrated)
Weekend With Kate
Colin Friels is very funny and has all the best lines, but he's let down by the weakness of the other characters and the unevenness of tone as the film veers between comic farce and a serious look at relationships. This film is Friels and Catherine McClements' first starring together before they reunited in Aussie's TV drama series, Water Rats.
19
Weird Science (1985,  PG-13)
Weird Science
Two nerds are funny, but I like Kelly LeBrook the best. Good teen comedy-fantasy movie.
20
The Rundown (Welcome to the Jungle) (2003,  PG-13)
The Rundown (Welcome to the Jungle)
The Rock's amazing in this action-comedy film so he should be the next new black Arnold Schwarzenegger of the 2000's.
21
Welcome to Woop Woop (The Big Red) (1998,  R)
Welcome to Woop Woop (The Big Red)
Great Aussie outback comedy movie and Susie Porter is bloody hot as hell in sex scenes.
22
West Side Story (1961,  Unrated)
23
What Dreams May Come (1998,  PG-13)
What Dreams May Come
Beauty effects in the visions of heaven look like the arts - breathtaking! At the final scene when Robin Williams and Annabella Sciorra reunited together in the heaven and also with their children that made me cry a bit. Thumbs up!
24
What Lies Beneath (2000,  PG-13)
What Lies Beneath
Director Robert Zemeckis pays homage to Alfred Hitchcock in this spellbinding tale of a grieving woman who believes the spirit of a murdered woman is contacting her. Her behaviour becomes increasingly bizarre, much to the consternation of her conservative, professor husband. Nothing is quite what it seems in this first-rate thriller, which features outstanding performances by Michelle Pfeiffer and Harrison Ford. The film relies on subtlety and suggestion, a rarity in this age of over-the-top shocks and special effects.
25
What Women Want (2001,  PG-13)
What Women Want
Mel Gibson has a great performance in this best comedy movie that made me laugh so much.
26
What's Eating Gilbert Grape (1993,  PG-13)
What's Eating Gilbert Grape
One of my all-favourite Johnny Depp movies.
27
What's Up, Doc? (1972,  G)
What's Up, Doc?
Barbara Streisand and Ryan O'Neal are my favourite comedy-romantic due uniquely endearing in screen history. I like the one of funniest chase sequences.
28
When a Man Loves a Woman (1994,  R)
When a Man Loves a Woman
Great drama-romance of Andy Garcia and Meg Ryan with a story of fiery passion and the enduring power of love.
29
When Harry Met Sally (1989,  R)
When Harry Met Sally
Extraordinary witty and wise romantic-comedy film. Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan are perfect for their roles.
30
Where Eagles Dare (1969,  PG)
Where Eagles Dare
This is all-my favourite WWII / thriller movie of Alister MacLean's story when I first read the novel before this. Clint Eastwood was great in his largest hit film of 1960s.
31
Where the Heart Is (2000,  PG-13)
Where the Heart Is
I love this drama movie of an innocent southern pregnant teen given baby birth at Wal-Mart and become friendly to strangers.
32
While You Were Sleeping (1995,  PG)
While You Were Sleeping
Sandra Bullock is the best in this romantic-comedy film.
33
White Hunter Black Heart (1990,  PG)
White Hunter Black Heart
Good drama like the making of The African Queen, but it's not real.
34
White Men Can't Jump (1992,  R)
White Men Can't Jump
An unlikely pair of basketball hustlers who play a game that's fast, dangerous and heaps of funny!
35
Jackie Chan's Who Am I? (Wo shi shei) (1998,  PG-13)
Jackie Chan's Who Am I? (Wo shi shei)
Heaps of funny and action that features unbelievable stunts and outrageous fights that rival all of Jackie Chan's previous work.
36
Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988,  PG)
Who Framed Roger Rabbit
Best of the late 1980's live-action and animation film as Roger Rabbit is so hilarious cartoon character. And the first time of Warner Bros. and Walt Disney cartoon characters crossover.
37
The Whole Nine Yards (2000,  R)
The Whole Nine Yards
Very funny with Matthew Perry who recognises his new neighbour, Bruce Willis, is a hitman. Perry has his best comedy screen role in this film.
38
Wicked City (Yôjû toshi) (1993,  Unrated)
Wicked City (Yôjû toshi)
Amazing blood-soaked anime action classic. Spectacularly nasty demons and a climactic battle in, on and around church, provide plenty of action.
39
Wild At Heart (1990,  R)
Wild At Heart
Tis film should be a Shakespearian, flamboyant, sensual, violent and funny. It is one of the best David Lynch movies.
40
Wild Orchid (1990,  R)
Wild Orchid
Dull spellbinding journey of sexual self-discovery.
41
Wildcats (1986,  R)
Wildcats
Goldie Hawn is fantastic as the first female coach of high school football. She scores a touchdown!
42
Willow (1988,  PG)
Willow
Great fantasy-adventure in the dungeons.
43
The Witches of Eastwick (1987,  R)
The Witches of Eastwick
Jack Nicholson made a great performance as the Devil who womanising on three beautiful "witches" in this slyest, sexiest supernatural comedy thriller.
44
Witness (1985,  R)
Witness
Harrison Ford has a better performance in a movie. I watched this drama several times.
45
Wolf (1994,  R)
46
Working Girl (1988,  R)
Working Girl
Melanie Griffith is superb as the ambitious secretary who discovers that new boss Sigourney Weaver has been passing off her ideas as her own. This is one of the funniest, sharpest and liveliest fairy tales of the decade.
47
The World According to Garp (1982,  R)
The World According to Garp
Dazzling! Magnificent drama movie! The acting is impressive, with first-rate turns by Robin Williams as the title role, Glenn Close as his mother, and John Lithgow as a kindly transsexual.
48
The World Is Not Enough (1999,  PG-13)
The World Is Not Enough
Awesome and thrilling!
49
Wrong Is Right (1982,  R)
Wrong Is Right
Average black comedy about the TV world.
50
Wyatt Earp (1994,  PG-13)
Wyatt Earp
Masterpiece of a true heroic and famous lawman in the Wild West. Kevin Costner is the best choice as Wyatt Earp than Kurt Russell and Burt Lancaster in the classic Wyatt Earp movies.
51
Watchmen (2009,  R)
Watchmen
Spectacular! It should be a MA-rated (in America - R-rated) superheroes movie, not for children. This is how Alan Moore made the story of a universe of costumed crime fighters might actually work. Here, though, there is dark satire: Batman (now Nite Owl) can't get it up, impotent without his suit on; Wonder Woman (now Silk Spectre) carries the mountain of her mother's guilt (a previous Silk Spectre marooned in old-age); Superman (now Dr. Manhattan) is possessed with such powers he takes on the unreachable guise of a god. Best of all, there is Phillip Marlow or Sam Spade (now Rorschach), with his do-or-die morality and city-of-the-damned voiceover, the most hideously human of the bunch.
Zack Snyder appears to have been the right choice to take the job. 300 proved that he has an eye for visuals and knows how to adapt a graphic novel as faithful to its source as possible, but faithfulness and nice pictures don't necessarily make for a good movie.
Patrick Wilson makes a perfect performance as Dan Dreiberg/Nite Owl. And I'm sure everyone will secretly fall in love with Silk Spectre II (Malin Akerman) because she looks really sexy. The suits have been beautifully changed wherever necessary and also have the right effect. The Minutemen look kinda stupid, which is perfect for the superhero parody element of the book.
The special effects are really good, Dr. Manhattan looks awesome, Mars looks like you expect Mars to look and Rorschach's mask remains fun to see from start to finish. A giant, hairless blue man with it all hanging out, he comes care of a mo-capped Billy Crudup that's about 70 per cent successful - much better in close-up than the distracting mid-shots dominated by his blurry-blue CG cock.
