- DirectorSteven SpielbergStarsLiam NeesonRalph FiennesBen KingsleyIn German-occupied Poland during World War II, industrialist Oskar Schindler gradually becomes concerned for his Jewish workforce after witnessing their persecution by the Nazis.One of the greatest films ever made and its acclaim is certainly deserved. Every single person should see this at least once.
10/10 - DirectorChristopher NolanStarsChristian BaleHeath LedgerAaron EckhartWhen the menace known as the Joker wreaks havoc and chaos on the people of Gotham, Batman must accept one of the greatest psychological and physical tests of his ability to fight injustice.It remains the greatest superhero movie ever in my mind. Ledger's performance as the Joker is truly one of the best and the greatest villain of the 21st Century. It may not be truly perfect, but it is one of the best films in modern times.
10/10 - DirectorFrancis Ford CoppolaStarsMartin SheenMarlon BrandoRobert DuvallA U.S. Army officer serving in Vietnam is tasked with assassinating a renegade Special Forces Colonel who sees himself as a god.The greatest war film in my opinion, because the ambition and ideas go beyond most war movies. This was the finale to what I consider the greatest streak for a director ever. Godfather I and II, followed by this in 1979.
10/10 - DirectorDavid FincherStarsMorgan FreemanBrad PittKevin SpaceyTwo detectives, a rookie and a veteran, hunt a serial killer who uses the seven deadly sins as his motives.One of the greatest and grimmest thrillers ever made.
10/10 - DirectorRoman PolanskiStarsAdrien BrodyThomas KretschmannFrank FinlayDuring WWII, acclaimed Polish musician Wladyslaw faces various struggles as he loses contact with his family. As the situation worsens, he hides in the ruins of Warsaw in order to survive.Arguably the second greatest Holocaust tale in film. Harrowing and unforgettable.
9/10 - DirectorAnthony RussoJoe RussoStarsRobert Downey Jr.Chris HemsworthMark RuffaloThe Avengers and their allies must be willing to sacrifice all in an attempt to defeat the powerful Thanos before his blitz of devastation and ruin puts an end to the universe.One of the best superhero films ever made. Immense hype and it lived up to it. Such a massive gathering of talent and ambition, and it hit it out of the park.
9/10 - DirectorLana WachowskiLilly WachowskiStarsKeanu ReevesLaurence FishburneCarrie-Anne MossWhen a beautiful stranger leads computer hacker Neo to a forbidding underworld, he discovers the shocking truth--the life he knows is the elaborate deception of an evil cyber-intelligence.A sci-fi masterpiece. It stands alone. No sequels needed.
9/10 - DirectorDavid FincherStarsJake GyllenhaalRobert Downey Jr.Mark RuffaloBetween 1968 and 1983, a San Francisco cartoonist becomes an amateur detective obsessed with tracking down the Zodiac Killer, an unidentified individual who terrorizes Northern California with a killing spree.One of the best films of 2007. It has gained fans in the past ten years, but still feels a bit underrated for how impressive of a dark thriller it is.
9/10 - DirectorTom HooperStarsColin FirthGeoffrey RushHelena Bonham CarterThe story of King George VI, his unexpected ascension to the throne of the British Empire in 1936, and the speech therapist who helped the unsure monarch overcome his stammer.Just had the pleasure to recently watch this. It truly deserves the praise for Rush and Firth alone. The acting on display here is among the best.
9/10 - DirectorBrian De PalmaStarsAl PacinoMichelle PfeifferSteven BauerIn 1980 Miami, a determined Cuban immigrant takes over a drug cartel and succumbs to greed.One of Pacino's best and also one of the best mafia movies ever made. With themes revolving around excess everything, the film is over the top in a great way.
9/10 - DirectorEdward ZwickStarsLeonardo DiCaprioDjimon HounsouJennifer ConnellyA fisherman, a smuggler, and a syndicate of businessmen match wits over the possession of a priceless diamond.Definitely one of the better films on Netflix and was underrated by critics.
9/10 - DirectorLee UnkrichAdrian MolinaStarsAnthony GonzalezGael García BernalBenjamin BrattAspiring musician Miguel, confronted with his family's ancestral ban on music, enters the Land of the Dead to find his great-great-grandfather, a legendary singer.Arguably Pixar's finest outing since Toy Story 3. Touching, funny, and with a good story to bring it all home. It was my personal favorite film of 2017.
9/10 - DirectorTroy DuffyStarsWillem DafoeSean Patrick FlaneryNorman ReedusTwo Irish Catholic brothers become vigilantes and wipe out Boston's criminal underworld in the name of God.I fall in the camp of people who really enjoy this movie. It is a love or hate it kind of thing, but many have come to adore it for what it is.
9/10 - DirectorQuentin TarantinoStarsJohn TravoltaUma ThurmanSamuel L. JacksonThe lives of two mob hitmen, a boxer, a gangster and his wife, and a pair of diner bandits intertwine in four tales of violence and redemption.Well loved for a reason. I feel I'd have to watch it again and I'll probably like it more this time.
8/10 - DirectorM. Night ShyamalanStarsBruce WillisHaley Joel OsmentToni ColletteMalcolm Crowe, a child psychologist, starts treating a young boy, Cole, who encounters dead people and convinces him to help them. In turn, Cole helps Malcolm reconcile with his estranged wife.A great thriller with horror elements. Unless you are a younger viewer, then you have probably seen this by now.
8/10 - DirectorJames McTeigueStarsHugo WeavingNatalie PortmanRupert GravesIn a future British dystopian society, a shadowy freedom fighter, known only by the alias of "V", plots to overthrow the tyrannical government - with the help of a young woman.Very good movie filled with some great performances. Its popularity is deserved.
8/10 - DirectorStanley KubrickStarsMatthew ModineR. Lee ErmeyVincent D'OnofrioA pragmatic U.S. Marine observes the dehumanizing effects the Vietnam War has on his fellow recruits from their brutal boot camp training to the bloody street fighting in Hue.Very famous war film for a reason. The first half is amazing and the second half is merely average to good. Definitely worth watching if you can stomach war films.
8/10 - DirectorKinji FukasakuStarsTatsuya FujiwaraAki MaedaTarô YamamotoIn the future, the Japanese government captures a class of ninth-grade students and forces them to kill one another under the revolutionary "Battle Royale" act.Twisted, graphic, and somewhat thought provoking. It makes the Hunger Games look like Candyland.
8/10 - DirectorKim Jee-woonStarsLee Byung-hunChoi Min-sikJeon Gook-hwanA secret agent exacts revenge on a serial killer through a series of captures and releases.One of the the most twisted revenge tales ever told.
8/10 - DirectorJoe DanteStarsZach GalliganPhoebe CatesHoyt AxtonA young man inadvertently breaks three important rules concerning his new pet and unleashes a horde of malevolently mischievous monsters on a small town.Gremlins is underrated for how unique and fun it was. This is the movie that made me grow to love horror as a kid, even if it isn't all that scary. One of the best horror comedies ever made.
8/10 - DirectorGore VerbinskiStarsJohnny DeppGeoffrey RushOrlando BloomBlacksmith Will Turner teams up with eccentric pirate "Captain" Jack Sparrow to save Elizabeth Swann, the governor's daughter and his love, from Jack's former pirate allies, who are now undead.The series has overstayed its welcome, but the first was a damn good pirate movie. Funny, adventurous, and even dark at times. Quite a star-studded cast too.
8/10 - DirectorJames WanStarsPatrick WilsonVera FarmigaRon LivingstonParanormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren work to help a family terrorized by a dark presence in their farmhouse.Remains one of horror's greatest offerings in recent years. Genre fans should not be disappointed as it combines films like Exorcist, Poltergeist, and Amityville into one.
8/10 - DirectorAnthony RussoJoe RussoStarsChris EvansRobert Downey Jr.Scarlett JohanssonPolitical involvement in the Avengers' affairs causes a rift between Captain America and Iron Man.Very entertaining blockbuster and one of the better films to come out in 2016. Not a great story so much as it is pure entertainment.
8/10 - DirectorZack SnyderStarsGerard ButlerLena HeadeyDavid WenhamIn the ancient battle of Thermopylae, King Leonidas and 300 Spartans fight against Xerxes and his massive Persian army.A very entertaining action romp that most have likely seen by now.
8/10 - DirectorMel BrooksStarsGene WilderMadeline KahnMarty FeldmanAn American grandson of the infamous scientist, struggling to prove that his grandfather was not as insane as people believe, is invited to Transylvania, where he discovers the process that reanimates a dead body.One of the better comedies and spoofs in my mind. Quite witty and very well done overall much like other spoofs from the 70's.
