You could argue this is Dances with Wolves set in space. Which would be a fair statement. Which even cameron admitted was an influence. But like the for mentioned movie its message is done very well. This movie has everything romance, tears and action. ILM will be taking Viagra now to try and get there mojo back aftre seeing the greatness of the effects for this film. Watch out George you may soon be replaced as the king of Sci Fi.

Juno 2007,  PG-13)
Juno
You cant help but love the charm of Juno and Ellen Page. Not to say she steals the film, there are great performences from everyone. Some may say Juno is too mature for her age but thats part of the appeal. Great direction and a heartfelt ending. Any movie that comes out this year wiill have to top this one.

Kill Bill: Volume 1 2003,  R)
Kill Bill: Volume 1
All the disjointed, dialogue ridden and violence we expect from Quentin Tarantino. Great melding of Spaghetti Western and Asian martial arts movies.

Once Upon a Time in America 1984,  R)
Once Upon a Time in America
Sergio Leone's last movie and what a movie to go out on. Cemented his reputation of one of the greatest directors ever.

Casualties of War 1989,  R)
Casualties of War
casualties of war is extremely emotional and well acted. Some narrow minded critics at the time bagged the film because of little things like fox would have been too short for the army. Sadly if they were focusing on that, they missed the whole point of the movie. Fox has always been seriously underated as an actor. In this film he showed if he was given good material he can do drama. Well written, brilliantly directed, excellent acting and a score that just tugs at your soul. In one word 'Perfection'.

The Wild Bunch 1969,  R)

24
Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith 2005,  PG-13)
Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith
Would have loved to give it a five star rating but some dialogue let it down. Apart from that my fav movie out of all 6 films. Vast improvement on the other prequels.

27
Inglourious Basterds 2009,  R)
Inglourious Basterds
May be a bit long for some but Tarantino at his best. If you arent a huge fan of Quentin's long writing style this movie may not be one for you. As this is a long movie and not as much tarantini dogs style actioneers your used to. You may find this flick a tad dull compared to his others. But if you are a fan of his writing style you will love this flick and i highly recomend it you.
28
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King 2003,  PG-13)
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
Best of all 3 movies what else can i say.
29
Kill Bill, Volume 2 2004,  R)
Kill Bill, Volume 2
Althought vol 2 contains much more of the story. The long tedious scene involving the guy in mexico tarnishes the movie. Took all that time and dialogue to tell us where Bill was. Plus the pace of the last 20 min seems to drag on and praying to kill bill already.
30
The Day the Earth Stood Still 1951,  G)
The Day the Earth Stood Still
Classic sci fi with a message about the cold war 50's.
31

34
Das Boot (The Boat) 1981,  R)
Das Boot (The Boat)
Claustraphobic German movie about a WW2 Sub. Well acted and the crampt environment of the set adds extremely well to the film.
35

For a Few Dollars More (Per Qualche Dollaro in Piů)
Sign of things to come.
36
The Great Escape 1963,  Unrated)
The Great Escape
Although historically inacurate the pure charm of this movie still gets you today. One of the most recognised movie scores in history.
37
A Clockwork Orange 1971,  R)
A Clockwork Orange
For pure length and paceing it loses a star. Although its still a masterpiece and Kubricks Best movie.
38
Reservoir Dogs 1992,  R)
Reservoir Dogs
THE MAN ARRIVES!. Tarrantino's first pic which spawned hundreds of low budget wannabe's during the early 90's. Only criticism of this movie is it borrowed heavily from a japenese film.
39
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade 1989,  PG-13)
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
My fav of the 3 back to the adventure and not the darkness of Temple Of Doom
40
Breakfast at Tiffany's 1961,  PG)
Breakfast at Tiffany's
The first romantic comedy movie. And between characters you wouldnt expect, a Prostitute and a gigilo. Hepburn is brilliant, she makes the charatcer lovable. One bad thing about this movie is the portrayel of a Japenese person by Mickey Rooney.
41
Raiders of the Lost Ark (Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark) 1981,  PG)
Raiders of the Lost Ark (Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark)

Lawrence of Arabia
A classic if you can manage to get through it all.
43
A Fistful of Dollars (Per un Pugno di Dollari) 1964,  R)
A Fistful of Dollars (Per un Pugno di Dollari)
Although a classic this movie suffers from a low budget and the fact Sergio Leone had not quite found his feet yet.
44
El Mariachi 2001,  R)
El Mariachi
Still the best of Robert Rodiguez's Mariachi Trilogy. As he got more budget for the sequals he seemed to get less artistic.
45
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince 2009,  PG-13)
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
Loved it!.

Def back up to the quality i expect after the dissapointment of Pheonix. Aww harry and Ginny gotta luv it.

47
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire 2005,  PG-13)
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
The best so far the older characters get the darker the story is. Bring on the next one.
48
Saving Private Ryan 1998,  R)
Saving Private Ryan
Spielbergs WW2 masterpice like Schindlers doesnt hold back on the gut churning events. Plus vin Diesel gets shot thats always good lol.
49
Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope 1977,  PG)
Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope
The most dated movie of the six and now with the fast paced movies before and after it. The movie becomes somewhat dull. The characters stop this movie from loosing a whole star.
50
The Magnificent Seven 1960,  R)
The Magnificent Seven
One of the better westerns.
51
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers 2002,  PG-13)

Psycho
The Shower Scene need i say more.
53
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom 1984,  PG)
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom

54
Back to the Future Part II 1989,  PG)
Back to the Future Part II
The pure complexity of this movie is still mind blowing. And another example of the sequal being better than the original.
55
Rocky Balboa 2006,  PG)
Rocky Balboa
My fav of all the rockys. The heart of the original is back no sign of the brevado of 3 and the flag waving of 4. Great send off and a good performance by sly. Also slys direction has fastly improved maybe his future carreer lies in that direction. After being a bit sceptical of initial idea i was pleasently surprised. Great Job
56
Hombre 1967,  Unrated)
Hombre
A western which comments on the racism towards the american indian. But when the chips are down the whiteman count on him to survive. Pure classic check it out.
57
Field of Dreams 1989,  PG)
Field of Dreams
A movie idea that could have bombed badly. But this film work beautifully and no matter how many times ive seen it, the ending still gets to me. One of the few films that does.
58
Star Trek 2009,  PG-13)
Star Trek

61
Citizen Kane 1941,  PG)
Citizen Kane
Set Design and cinematography has still not been matched. Could have done without the musical number half way through though.
62
Superman 1978,  PG)
Superman
One of the first ever blockbusters and the benchmark that all other comic movies are comapared to. Stellar casting in the late Christopher Reeve.

Star Trek - First Contact
The best of the Next Generation movies but unfortunately it was all down hill from here.
64
Forrest Gump 1994,  PG-13)
Forrest Gump
The movie that took the box office by storm in the early 90's. Gump maybe the dumbest man alive but his optimism and affection for everybody cant help but touch people. Great Flick!!
65
Rocky 1976,  PG)
Rocky
Excellent movie sadly is was all down hill from here. A good example of a movie only working once. What was once a great underdog story turned into a gung ho American macho love fest. Dreading the 6th movie.
66
Close Encounters of the Third Kind 1977,  PG)
67
The Usual Suspects 1995,  R)
The Usual Suspects
What seems to be a standard crime flick is elevated mainly for the excellent plot twist right at the end. Good performances all round.
68
Edward Scissorhands 1990,  PG-13)
69
Batman Returns 1992,  PG-13)
Batman Returns
Slightly better than the first as it has more batman and less vocus on the villians. Keaton is still the best batman.
70
Back to the Future 1985,  PG)

An 80's classic and effects that still hold up today. Great characters and of course the Delorean.
71

79
Stand by Me 1986,  R)

Dark City 1998,  R)
Dark City
The movie i feel The Wachowskis seriously borrowed from for the matrix.
85
The Matrix 1999,  R)
The Matrix
Hailed as an original but Hong Kong and been doing that stuff for years. But in terms of style and the world they created its great. Although story is a rip off of Dark City which in my opinion is a better film.
86
Mad City 1997,  PG-13)
Mad City
Good movie about how the media can manipulate public opinion. Good little gem
