"YOUR OVER-CONFIDENCE IS YOUR WEAKNESS"
............................................................
JEDI just rocks - plain and simple. Luke becomes the best character of the SAGA with the black costume and the Green saber. His entrance in this movie is insanly cool and it adds so much weight to the notion he could go SITH like his father. The last 40 minutes is just plain amazing with the space battle screaming outside the death star, and the final VADER/LUKE duel in full effect with ol' Palpatine cackilin on the side lines and to top that off the endor battle with the ewoks is great fun too! A great ending to the SAGA, even is the actual score at the end needs a little more oomph, but the actual events are spot on.

"LOSS OF COMMUNICATION CAN MEAN ONLY ONE THING....INVASION"

I don't get peoples overall dismissal of the phantom menace AT ALL.

YES I'm a Star wars fan, YES i'm one of these rare breed that acknowledge all 6 movies as a complete set and don't feel the need to end the sentence "i like the star wars movies" with the, what seems compulsory "but only the 1st 3"

I DIG MENACE, IT KICKS ASS and here's why.

I think Menace shows the star wars universe when it was just about perfect in regards to the overall story. the universe was releativly at
peace and there was no issues. The jedi, though kinda diffrent to how we all saw the jedi's as children, basically they were pretty redundant and there greatness is kind of a myth rather than a fact.

Then enters the "PHANTOM MENACE" The key to taking this normal set up and turning it into a star wars movie and the whole movie becomes how his evil deeds are slowly bleeding into galaxy and how it effects it all.

Qui gonn and obi wan are great in this, the 1st time you see them do a jedi's work is still incredible. The skills with the sabre's and taking out the droids on the trade federation ship is just epic. The destroyer droids, the lightsabers, qui gonn whacking one through a door, just insanly exciting stuff!

The new worlds we get to see, the new characters, i'll admit it took me a good 20-40 minutes to actually click into being in a NEW star wars movie for after so long to being so used to only having 3, but the pace at which phantom menace moves and the amount of information to take in within the first 20-30 minutes comes at you thick and fast, but once i caught up, i adored it all.

You get maul who is just BAD ASS, he just adds a great element to the star wars universe - no angles, no back story, a mystery and pure sith. Andi will state here and now, his entrance on naboo is still probably the finest most exciting entrance in movie history! It's almost a shame he was not around in Ep3 because he would be reveling in the victory as much as Palpatine and maybe he would have broken his slience and gone with an "IN YOUR FACE" o the jedi hehe

The duel with the jedi's and maul is still one of the best. So well staged and just so much fun. There are too many moments of sheer COOL to list.

And on to jar jar. i will say now - WHAT'S PEOPLE F**KING PROBLEM- JEEEEESUS!! If jar jar character was anakin - i'd get the backlash - but he's comic relief for christ sake - and he's awesome. His dialogue is superb and he adds something to it all and i'd miss him if he was'nt there.

Also technically speaking, i'd say menace has probably the best overall soundmix out of the star wars movies too, the sheer range in effects and the use of the score really make you feel you're in the Star wars galaxy again and throw the pod race in there as well and it's all so damn impressive

Also out of all the new trilogy, phantom comes with the best memories....the entire build up from the announcement that there would be a new Star wars movie, the amazing teaser poster, through the greatest sets of trailers ever, the new characters to meet, the old ones to rediscover, right through to the ticket buying, the relief that it was all still great desite the critical attacks and the multiple viewings...it all just makes the feelig of it all so much more that most movies around.

Basically after having MENACE around since 99 i have to say the more i watch it the better it gets - i loved it then and i love it more now.

Phantom Menace is the perfect introduction to the star wars galaxy and sets up all the players ready for the saga to really start unravelling.

"AT LAST WE WILL REVEAL OURSELVES TO THE JEDI, AT LAST WE WILL HAVE REVENGE"

"YOU HAVE ABSOLUTE POWER...YEESSSSSS" ................................................................... SPEILBERG IS GREAT. BUT HE HAS NEVER BEEN AS GOOD AS HE IS WITH E.T

E.T is timeless, E.T is CLASSIC, E.T is magic. Speilberg'd finest masterpiece!
with E.T he somehow managed to go beyond mere classic status and provides MAGIC, WONDER, PURE DELIGHT and basically PERFECTION.

With E.T 'berg basically shows what most, if not all film makers long for...you believe every thing the movie is saying. you feel the characters, you know exactly what there feelings are and you live the movie with them. It'd power works with it's simplicity and for me there is not a director ever who has acheived so much in one movie.

Every single frame of E.T is perfect, every line, every beautifully played out moment. EVERYTHING.

Everytime i see it it's like seeing it for the 1st time and every diffrent time in my life i've seen it i take something else from it. From childhood wonderment, to just wanting the real world to be as good as it. Everytime if you focus on a diffrent character you begin to understand just how much of a masterstroke this movie actually is

E.T is one of those rare and beautiful movies that just trancend being a movie...it's lasting, it has the greatest score of all time and quite frankly i can't think of many movies that are as perfect

........................................................................ just plain class. It may not be bang on the comics but man this is a great batman movie. This movie started my love of going to the cinema, i was the right age and this just totally got me. Everything about it, the mood, the look the designs eveything. Keaton is still the best Bat, his dark sense of humor and just the look in his eyes when he's in bat mode...just superb, KEATON TILL DEATH!" and jack is a stunning joker.Stunning prince sountrack, one of the best ever and that score...JUST PERFECTION.

20 YEARS OLD AND STILL GOING STRONG.

transformers the movie is THE greatest tv to movie upgrade of ALL TIME, HANDS DOWN, NO CONTEST!

You take what was already a classic show and make it even more incredible - Unicron is pretty close to the ultimate villan and optimus prime goes from a great leader to an absolute AUTOBOT OF LEGEND!! the 80's metal soundtrack really rocks out and the animation is top notch.

The introduction of new characters is great and killing off old ones is DEVESTATING!!

It's hard to think Bay's new live action (they are not a gift from god) movie will outdo or even live up to this one, BUT if it does...we are all in for a treat!

MEGATRON MUST BE STOPPED NO MATTER THE COST! my final word on this is BRAWN WILL LIVE AGAIN AND KICK UNHOLY ASS!

"PRIME DID IT, HE TURNED THE TIDE"

INCREDIBLE.................................................................
A movie that is so good that it up's your threshold of how you define a good movie once you've seen it. Magnolia is one of the most importnat movies of the 90's that just landed and left a mark that still echo's now. Movies like crash are wrongly compared to this masterpiece, for reasons i can't even fathom as crash does not even deserve to be mentioned in the same 24 hour period as MAGNOLIA. An incredible ensemble cast, some truellu moving perfromances all round and a soundtrack to fall in love with. Magnolia kicks ass. ..................................................................................

"NOW I'VE JUSTIFIED THIS TO MYSELF IN ALL SORTS OF WAYS. IT WASN'T A BIG DEAL, JUST A MINOR BETRAYAL. OR WE'D OUTGROWN EACH OTHER, YOU KNOW, THAT SORT OF THING. BUT LET'S FACE IT, I RIPPED THEM OFF - MY SO CALLED MATES. BUT BEGBIE, I COULDN'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT HIM. AND SICK BOY, WELL HE'D DONE THE SAME TO ME, IF HE'D ONLY THOUGHT OF IT FIRST. AND SPUD, WELL OKAY, I FELT SORRY FOR SPUD - HE NEVER HURT ANYBODY. SO WHY DID I DO IT? I COULD OFFER A MILLION ANSWERS - ALL FALSE. THE TRUTH IS THAT I'M A BAD PERSON. BUT, THAT'S GONNA CHANGE - I'M GOING TO CHANGE. THIS IS THE LAST OF THAT SORT OF THING. NOW I'M CLEANING UP AND I'M MOVING ON, GOING STRAIGHT AND CHOOSING LIFE. I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO IT ALREADY.

I can't praise this film enough. Once in a blue moon a movie comes along that just stays with you. Everything about this is beautiful, the music, the people, the atmosphere and of course Japan. Sophia hit the ball clear out of the park with this one, hell i don't think anyone will even find that ball!! Bill murray just shines in it, he's funny charming and a full rounded character, scarlett is the same and you can't help but love them both. In regards to other people opinions, you will find there is a clear line with this movie, people who hate it , write it off as a movie about a dull girl moping about being in japan in a hotel room. i am of the other half of the population, i find it very personal and very rewarding. A great movie about finding a true bond with the least expected person in the least expected place. Just having someone you can truelly communicate with. PERFECTION Definatley one of the best movies in recent years and one i will hold close to my heart for a long time to come.

Robocop just plain rocks. Verhoevens at his best, gruesome, shocking, violent and a solid story with great dialogue. The designs in robocop are awesome , ed-209 is classic stuff (i personally think he deserves his own movie) and the robo design is flawless and 100% convincing. This movie has it all, a great hero, one of the nastiest sets of villans around , with clarence being the nastiest, and some solid action, the drug den scene alone is one of the coolest action scenes of the 80's. Robocop's real draw is it's believablity, they take an insane idea and brings it to life, the world that verhoeven has put all these characters in is a nasty, dirty vicious place and you want robocop to take these nasty fuckers down, but what's worse if the whole damn city is corrupt and robo never really gets the chance to sort it out..this is not a straight forward plot at all, it's a revenge movie, tho it' not a straight out revenge plot, it becomes more about the characters develpment rather than one aim.
All great stuff and still holds up despite its 80' origins

There's 5/5 movies (See my list). There are PERFECT MOVIES (few and far between) there are movie I love to death. Unbreakable is all of the above and more. My admiration for this movie is off the charts. An absolute Masterpeice and everytime i see it, it just hits me square n the face with it's greatness.

M Night has just totaly got the "superhero" thing right. It's hard to believe it doesn't get more raise in that field. However much i love Batman or spidey or anything in that area, this is the movie that gets it right. David Dunn is the finest example of a hero in the finest example of how to portray a modern view of an age old premise.

The subtlness in M Nights work here is astounding. he gets a lot of flack fr being "Slow" and "drawn out" but there performances and the feeling he gets out of all his wrok is a skill most directors of late don't even have the first clue about.

He draws you in, he sets up the odds, he involves you in the descions and discoveries his characters make and quite frankly Unbreakable is a masterclass in everything i adore about movies.

outside of all this i'm torn. I want a sequel of what came next, but don't want it at the same time. We don't need it, but goddamn i think i want it.

A seminal piece of work and a movie i just can't help but adore. M Night i salute you.
