	theoneandonlytony's Rating	My Rating
1	Mio min Mio (Mio in the Land of Faraway) 1987,  PG)
2	Empire of the Sun 1987,  PG) The direction of this movie is so precise, it is a pleasure to watch. Probably one of Spielberg's better movies but is sadly under-rated. Humour, thought provoking, captivating and emotional... all the things a good drama needs. Christian Bale's intensity holds this entire movie together and just watching him leaves you stunned. His transformation of character is so entertaining considering the backdrop the movie is set against. It's unique war perspective and atmosphere created by Tom Stoppard entices and by the end of the movie creates a exhausting finish. Look out for Ben Stiller's one liner... echoed throughout the movie. Great Stuff.
3	Henry V 1989,  PG-13)
4	Newsies 1992,  PG)
5	Swing Kids 1993,  PG-13)
6	Prince of Jutland (Royal Deceit) 1994,  R)
7	Little Women 1994,  PG)
8	Pocahontas 1996,  G)
9	The Portrait of a Lady 1996,  PG-13)
10	The Secret Agent 1996,  R)
11	Metroland 1997,  R)
12	Velvet Goldmine 1998,  R)
13	All The Little Animals 1998,  R)
14	A Midsummer Night's Dream 1999,  PG-13)
15	American Psycho 2000,  R)
16	Shaft 2000,  R)
17	Captain Corelli's Mandolin 2001,  R)
18	Laurel Canyon 2002,  R)
19	Reign of Fire 2002,  PG-13)
20	Equilibrium 2002,  R)
21	The Machinist 2003,  R)
22	Hauru no ugoku shiro (Howl's Moving Castle) 2005,  PG)
23	Batman Begins 2005,  PG-13)
24	The New World 2005,  PG-13)
25	Harsh Times 2006,  R) One of the best movies I've seen all summer, not because it's especially clever or sophisticated but because you don't expect it for being something different. Its gritty, it's dark and its generally a well made film. For a plot that consists of two guys drinking and smoking weed and just generally doing nothing in an urban neighbourhood... I just couldn't stop watching! Christian Bale is haunting in this performance and this is probably one of his best movies. Freddy Rodriguez is equally good as Bale's support and together they have this very charismatic partnership. To be fair the movie doesn't exactly have the most extensive of plots... but you do feel like it covers a lot of ground whilst you're watching it. Also as the movie progresses it becomes very uncomfortable and kinda scary with Bale's instability. Think modern day Deer Hunter... but in a similar style to Training Day. A slow burning character driven movie.... and that just happens to be what I like. However for some, you'll either love it or you'll hate it...
26	The Prestige 2006,  PG-13)
27	3:10 to Yuma 2007,  R)
28	Rescue Dawn 2006,  PG-13) I'm still in two minds about this one... On one hand it has the legdendary Christian Bale in it. On the other it kinda bored the pants off me. One of the main things this movie had going for it in my opinion, is one of the finest, poetic and captivating opening sequences that has even introduced a movie of this genre. Sadly not a lot else.
29	I'm Not There 2007,  R)
30	The Dark Knight 2008,  PG-13)
31	Terminator Salvation 2009,  PG-13)

   Batman Begins and The Dark Knight were good I haven't seen any of the others but believe me there are quite a few that I want to see so hopefully I will see them soon too.
