My Favorite Movies

The perfect movie, a little bit of this and little bit of that, thrown together by Spielberg. A B-Movie premise made into an A-movie presention.

James Stewart's performance alone makes this film worthy of five stars. It's hypnotic as the doughboy, All-American optimist. The filabuster finale is riveting. Excellent supporting cast, spots of humour throughout.

You'll never find a kinder, more gentler man than Elwood P. Dowd. James Stewart is magicial and the movie matches him pace for pace. Funny, touching, just of wonder.

One of Hitchcock's best. Cary grant is amazing. Great script, some very unexpected humorous moments. I love every second of this movie.

Powerful movie, based on the equally powerful book. Terrific performances all around.

This has been a Christmas stable in my house for more than 20 years. Sometimes even more than once. It's perfect. I laugh just as hard now, as I did then and I find myself laughing knowing what's coming up and then still laugh at the pay off. I love it.

Just a pure cinematic masterpiece. The story draws you in and it's breath-taking to look at. Some slow moments, but for me it's never dull. The extended version adds so much more depth to the supporting characters, it's well worth a look.

Whether your watching the long version or the really long version, this movie is exceptional. And whether you believe the theory or not, it's hard to deny its power of persuasion. Absolutely riveting.

Only one word can be used to describe this movie and that's all I'm going to use: Powerful.

Wonderfully layered basketball, sorry, real-life documentary. Full of surprising twists and turns that if they happened in a regular movie, you couldn't accept them. Excellent.

My all time favourite, "Balls Out" action movie. I saw this thing 5 times at the theatre. It's smart, funny. By far, Michael Bay's best work.

One of my faves. It's poetic watching the three main stories connect and intertwine. Good twists, great cast. The Night Owl interrogation scene is classic.

Best Sci-Fi movie ever. One most original spaceships in movie history. Clever story, cool effects.

It's absolutely best movie where nothing happens. It's purely dialogue driven and it's never dull. Hugo Weaving is brilliant as always, many twists and turns. It'll keep you guessing right up to the end.

Plain and simple, I love this movie. I have a smile on my face for the whole movie. The Director's Cut is even better, 40 more minutes of genius, not a dull moment. Tiny Dancer sing-a-long is one of the best scenes in the history of cinema.

Underrated comedic/mystery caper from the master of ensemble casts, Robert Altman. It gets better with each viewing, Clive Owen, Emily Watson and Helen Mirren are standouts.

Ignore Tom Cruise the person, he is an amazing actor and he picks amazing movies. Of course, it helps having Spielberg at the helm and Scott Frank as the screenwriter working off of a story by Philip K. Dick. It's just mesmerizing. It works as a sci-fi, it's works as an action film, it's works as supense/mystery/thriller. Not a bad scene, flawless.

Fantastic ensemble drama, every performance is pitch-perfect with Michael Pena being a stand-out. I am moved and find myself holding my breath during certain scenes every time I watch it.
