My Favorite Movies

A little contrived, but a thoroughly enjoyable movie experience.

There's a reason this movie is rated #1 in AFI's Top 100 Films of All-Time. It's a masterpiece.

Chaotic, engrossing, and thought-provoking. Very good film.

Brilliant film which actually came before Blair Witch Project. BWP stole this films thunder. I imagine the twist at the end will be the deal breaker for most people. They will either love it or hate it. Obviously, I thought the twist was a master-stroke, and because of it the movie demands repeated viewings just to pick up on the clues.

A serious mind-trip of a movie. Watch it again for the clues and be greatly rewarded.

This is Adam Sandler's best comedy thus far. Funny with many serious undertones.

Nothing else needs mentioning.

One of the best foreign films I've ever seen. An exciting chain of events occurs with a pulsing, dynamic techno soundtrack in the background. I'd never experienced a rush quite like I had when I first saw this film. An amazing achievement in storytelling.

Funny, funny, funny! The first scene alone is worth the price of admission (or rental, or piracy, or whatever the hell else). Isla Fisher, non-stop laughs from her character's antics.

Stupid movie, dumb jokes, ridiculous premise, but I loved it! It was so dumb, and I believe the makers of the film were WELL AWARE they were making a dumb movie.

I'm going to make like a tree and get outta here so I can watch this movie again!! Screw you, I'm well aware that my "joke" sucked!

A towering achievement of a film. The last half of the film contains some of the most horrifying, intense, violent, visceral, and exciting scenes ever put to screen. I really like the films the Germans have been putting out lately.

If this exact movie were made in the states, it would've been nominated for best picture and it would've won. It is incredible.

Awesome gunfights!!! Another very interesting take on an entirely possible future dystopic society.

My great-uncle landed on Omaha Beach, and he mentioned that the ONE DIFFERENCE between the actual landing and the one portrayed on-screen was the smell. Spielberg outdid himself with this spectacular film. It still amazes me it didn't win for best picture.

Another knock-out punch delivered by Michael Moore. I, for one, applauded his speech at the Oscars five years ago.

This movie manages to piss me off each and every time I view it. It's thought-provoking and compellingly presented.

Easily one of the top two movies of the year 2006! Easily!!

Classic! One of the most quotable movies ever.

This is Brando's crowning achievement in acting, and the film contains several of the most powerfully explosive scenes in all of cinema. Definitely in my top 10 all-time favorite films.

Bar-none, the best horror movie of all time. Sheer perfection in every sense.

Probably the most underrated foreign film the year that it was released. This is audacious, truthful film-making at its finest.

Tragic and wonderful. The last 30 minutes is bleakly heart-wrenching. Have AT LEAST two boxes of tissues ready when watching this movie.

This movie was one of my top two from 2005. Without all due respect to Philip Seymour Hoffman, Joaquin Phoenix was fucking robbed of the oscar.

Not much to say here, this is a freakin' perfect comedy, with a horde of hungry zombies thrown in to make things interesting. Watch it, NOW!

Violent and visionary. This movie completely blind-sided me, in a very good way.

Jamie Lee Curtis's striptease scene is one of the major high points of this movie. Actually, Jamie Lee Curtis is THE high point of this movie, as she lent sympathy and believeability to her role as a bored and unhappy housewife. Great movie all-around.

Honestly, one of the most compelling and deeply disturbing films I've ever seen. This is the kind of film that makes one feel dirty inside one's soul. I agree with Mark Englehart's assessment that Joaquin Phoenix turns in an incredibly memorable performance, but the rest of his review is ridiculous. This was an amazing film, expertly acted (I thought this was Nicholas Cage's finest performance), directed (Schumacher more than made amends for "Batman and Robin" with this feature), and written (Andrew Kevin Walker is one sick dude, and thank God there are people like him with the imagination and courage to develop tales such as this with bold subject matters). This was an absorbing movie experience.

This may be bad, but I laughed my ass off while watching this film. The scene where the Patrick Bateman character completely loses his shit and goes on a freaked-out murderous rampage on the streets of New York City, it was so ridiculous that it was darkly comical.
