This movie is not only the best film to fuse science fiction and horror films together, it is probably also one of the best tedious movies ever made. This film has a terrific cast, terrific story... everything about this movie is terrific, and although it doesn't put Star Wars to shame, it is obviously scarier and far more realisitc than the latter. The mixture of horror and disgust brings you into one of the most tense onscreen experiences ever made.

28 Days Later is a film where, as an observer, you will see things that -- if they happened to you in real life -- you would soil your pants. Instantly. This effect is partially due to the terrific camerawork, which not only looks unique, but also gives the film an air of realism due to its imperfections. This is also supported by the frantic cinematography which, although confusing, makes the whole experience look really fast-paced. Of course, all this visual stuff is supported by the downright terrific acting on behalf of practically everyone in the cast. Another great thing about this movie is that it leaves a lot to the imagination, as the audience never sees what really happened during the evacuation before the events of the film. Perhaps the strangest thing about 28 Days Later is that it is one of the few horror films which actually looks beautiful. Although seeing London deserted -- for the most part -- is creepy, a lot of the cinematography is scenic and poetic in its own way. Overall, fans of typical slasher-horror should probably stay away, but if you're willing to appreciate a genuinely good horror movie, then watch this film.

An all-time high in Roger Moore's career as James Bond and quite possibly the most entertaining Bond movie ever made. TSWLM contains every element that one should expect to see in a Bond film without going way overboard like Moonraker would two years later. Highlights include the brilliant pre-credits sequence, Lotus Esprit submarine, gunfight inside the hull of a supertanker, and last but not least, the unforgettable henchman known as Jaws.

Se7en is probably the greatest serial killer movie ever made. First off, you have two fantastic contrasting characters -- played by Freeman and Pitt -- working on the same case, who develop so much as the film goes along. Then you have a surprise killer with a surprising and very grizzly twist at the end.

A movie that really delivers. Maybe some people can argue about the conclusion, but to me it is a powerful moment in cinema. The sounds that the birds make throughout the movie are downright chilling and will probably keep you up at night (like they kept me up at night)!

Blade Runner has a great story and cast, but it's the incredible visuals that really make it stand out among other sci-fi films. It's a testament to the panache of Ridley Scott's work.

Terence Malick demonstrates his mastery of the motion picture camera. The lack of dialogue and beautiful music enhance the visual aspects of the film.

Although impossible to understand, Eraserhead is fascinating, visually appealing, and eerie at the same time. Should be regarded as Lynch's best film, probably because it reflects his mysterious elements so well.
