My Favorite Movies

One of the best all time comedies ever. There's very few people that've seen this and not liked it.

The best and most intelligent horror-comedy spoof offers up laugh after laugh and also some genuinely horrific gore. This difference between this movie and many other "serious" horror movies is that you actually care what happens to the main characters. If you haven't seen it, you have to.

One of the best modern horrors out there.

Wow. This movie blew me away! Stuart Gordon is an excellent director, and he went in a completely different direction with this movie from ReAnimator. It is deadly serious and downright brutal. I love the fact that the monster is, for once, a sympathetic character that actually has a backstory. This movie contains extreme violence and gore, and is not for the weak (even Cannibal Holocaust veterans may find themselves feeling a bit squeamish in a few places). If you're a horror fan and you don't like this movie something is seriously wrong with you.

Arguably Mel Brooks' finest movie.

Hilarious from start to finish.

Just like an episode of the TV show, but all the sound from both the movie and the commentators are crisp and clear. Every joke is memorable gold, nary a one misses. This is out on DVD again on May 2nd 2008. Do yourself a favor and buy it before it goes out of print again.

A brilliant movie. Beautifully shot, well-acted, funny, frightening, and heartwrenching. You've never felt for characters in a monster movie like you have for these people in this one.

A great action-comedy spoof by the same guys that did Shaun of the Dead (in fact, most of the actors are even the same). If you like action movies, or comedies, or action comedies, or buddy-cop movies, or are currently breathing, go. Watch. This. Now.

Mindless, but the most well shot action films since the original "The Matrix." If you like action movies, this is the cream of the crop.

One of the funniest comedies of the last couple of years. Couples (teehee) immature body-part humor with genuinely intelligent humor and a charming story with a lovable character.

Fantasy at it's best. Funny, touching, and actiony. If you haven't seen it, you're missing out.

Broken Lizard cuts their teeth on a spoof of Cop movies. Consistently hilarious.

Flippin' sweet!

A delicious remake. Better pacing and effects than the original make it worth seeing.

Not just a spoof of anchormen everywhere, this thing takes it up a notch (including a gladiatorial gang fight in a back alley complete with tridents, nets, and... a grenade.)

An off-kilter super hero tale, and an underrated classic. I don't need a compass to tell me which way the wind shines.

Try not to feel sick during this entire movie.

Arguably Carpenter's best movie.

The best movie of last year got snubbed for best foreign film. Beautiful, heart wrenching, gory, touching... just... words can't express.

Disturbing, funny... it's easy to like Alex, and yet he's a monster. This movie will make you feel conflicted, and will make you think.

The best videogame movie ever made. Some of the acting is a bit cheesy, but a few moments in this film give me chills to this day. The creature effects look great, and it's interesting to note that very few CGI was actually used. Those creepy, twisted, unhumanly moving monsters were people in costumes.

The first of the classic 80's trilogy.

The second of one of the greatest film trilogies of all time. It's a classic that never gets old.

Doesn't stop from the first five minutes to the last five. Long live Indie.

Generally considered the weakest of the trilogy (soon to be quadriology) but keeps an even pace with its forebear and successor.

Arguably the best in the series. More humor, better action, and a more dramatic plotline.

A great introduction to the world of Middle-earth. Not the best film (not surprising, wasn't the best book either), but great nonetheless.

Lacks the characterization of the first or the third, but has one of the most epic and pressing battles on film. Watch the extended edition DVD to see all the stuff that SHOULDN'T have been cut out.

The most epic and timeless movie trilogy of our time comes breathtaking close. The best book of the trilogy is also the best movie. Amazing special effects, engaging story, dialogue, and acting.

A bizarre family classic with great music. David Bowie is a pimp.

Probably my second favorite Carpenter movie.

I have to give this movie a 4 stars and no less based solely on the principle of childhood nostalgia. It's objectively an okay movie as it is, but there's a shit load of weird editing choices and plot jumps that you don't notice so much when you're a kid. Horror fans who missed out on it the first time around probably won't see what the big deal is, but if you watched it once a week for months when you were a wee lad or lass you'll still love it.

Very funny movie, well acted, enjoyable plot. A must see for horror fans!

Fantastically well acted, and, unsurprisingly for a Burton film, I suppose, beautifully shot. I didn't want to get up because I didn't want to miss the next set. A treat for the eyes and ears, I can't think of anyone who would dislike this movie.

One of the most accurate Lovecraft films in existence, and a solid movie all around. I'm a huge Lovecraft fan, my wife isn't, but we both enjoyed this film.

Not just a long episode of South Park, it's also a classic animated film in its own right. Epic, hilarious, and a great soundtrack to boot.

Claustrophobic and laden with an unflinching sense of dread.

Alien but with more of them and a bunch more but kicking. Still scary as hell though.

Hostel Part II takes the pay-per-murder premise of the original and creates a compelling story around it. The gore is more subdued this time around, but no less disturbing, due in large part to the fact that the murderers and victims are much deeper characters than the highfivin' fratboys and faceless foreign killers of the orginal. Eli Roth's signature twisted sense of humor is ratcheted up a few notches, which helps an otherwise relentlessly evil movie become sheer entertainment.

The first is the best. A Se7en style mystery movie with a good deal of devious gore.

Nicolas Cage plays a good man. Well, he's actually an evil man, but he's an evil man that knows he's evil, hates himself for it, but can't change it. An interesting look at the life of an arms dealer.

The best Batman movie until Batman Begins. Tim Burton is a genius, and this is his take on the franchise.

The best movie since Tim Burton's version. Takes on a much darker and more serious tone that any bat-fan can enjoy.

Great movie for any fan of Tarantino, kungfu films, and movies in general. Over the top action, violence, and dialogue.

The conclusion is somewhat slower paced than the first part, but definitely worth watching.

Crazy over the top horror. Lots of boobs, gore, and swearing. I liked it.

Probably the best in the series, and the all around best Pirate movie ever.

A decent follow up to a great movie. A bit long and slow at times, and ya gotta hate those cliffhanger endings.

Almost as good as, if not as good as, the first. DMC has nothing on it.

The most over-quoted movie in history, but for good reason.

Great mystery movie with a bit of suspense. Depp and Turturro are equally creepy and great.

The first isn't the best, but it has enough mystery and wonder, in a large and interesting universe, to engage young and old alike even today.

Arguably the best movie of the Star Wars saga. Emotional and action packed. This is why we love Star Wars.

Not my favorite of the original three, but still a thrilling to a wonderful series of films.

Spielberg wanted this to be Indiana Jones for kids. He succeeded. A thrilling action/adventure movie with a lot of great laughs and some truly memorable characters.

A very political movie that, while very heavy handed at times, is important and excellent.

A wonderful slice of early ninety's heaven. Crank up "Bohemian Rhapsody" and bang your head!

Recycles a lot of material from its predecessor, but still a classic 90's comedy.

Excellent film.
