My Favorite Movies

This is THE perennial dark future movie to which all others are compared...and none can.

A must see. A pity the series "Firefly" was canceled but the fans brought this movie about.

Excellent movie about the struggles of a budding D/s relationship.

A timeless movie. The extended version is a must.

Tremendous movie. Worth seeing again and again.

Yea...of all the Alien movies, this one wins hands down.

A well done, tragic, animated movie from the Kerberos Panzer Cop manga/movie franchise.

It took 16 years to get this...THE worthy treatment of Shirow's Appleseed manga.

Ah, yea...still doesn't get a full five...only Bladerunner would.

Who cares if it isn't historically accurate. Outstanding film based on the novel.

Mind-blowing animation. A thinking persons movie.

Likely the best film about the Finnish Winter War 1939-40.

Excellent movie about the Battle of Ia Drang in 1965.

A visually stunning movie. Short on historical accuracy...but who cares.

Good stuff.

The prequel to Gettysburg and every bit as grand.

Say what you will about Reeves, this movie has seen replay value with me.

Second to Blade Runner, this is my favorite Rutger Hauer performance.

One of the best animated series out there. A must for any cyberpunk fan.

Oh, yea. Tron is soooo made of win.

Likely a classic and one which gets comparisons and sets a level for war movies.

I usually don't like ship films, but this one was worth it.

Hahaha! The pinnacle of Monty Python goodness.

Ridley Scott is god. Dinged for that dumb dream sequence.

Tremendous movie of epic scale.

Ahhhh...THIS is Star Wars to me.

Continues the franchise in fine form.

Considered a classic war movie. Outstanding action sequences.

Considered one of the milestone anime movies. Well worth seeing.

Loved the book and love the movie, which is mostly cartoon by Chuck Jones.

Pure cyberpunk and worth seeing.

One of the strongest Mobile Suit Gundam movies out there.

A hilarious anime series. Pity it only lasted two OVAs.

Hard to beat the s/fx but it got weird at the end.

Now THIS is how I like my superhero movies. :)

Sad tale about Ai, a call girl for BDSM customers. Pretty depressing, really.

Tauted as the Korean "Blade Runner" but not quite.

A very interesting movie. Bundles a bunch of genres into a fascinating blend.

Continuation of the Dune TV series, going into the second book. Quality stuff.

A hailed animated movie. Should be seen. It was outdone by its sequel, though.

Not your usual crime movie...very wild, surreal dream scenes.

Superb Russian film about a company of troops in Afghanistan.

Excellent animation and story. Worthy successor to the 1993 movie.

Ridley Scott can make a film. This one is no exception.

Haha! Classic stuff and never gets old.

A surprisingly interesting film...but it does tend to drag in places.

Very interesting film revolving around a online war game.

Very cool time travel flick from Japan. Quality special effects.

Slow to get rolling...but it was good.

Good ride but it is really all about Beckinsale in a corset, right?

Hilarious blaxploitation parody movie.

Hahaha! I grew up with watching this TV show...ahhhh...memories.

A very fun poke at the whole kung-fu genre.

Super fun movie. At least see it for the SF II scene.

Considered the pinnacle of anti-war films, a must-see, if only once.

Almost a two hour running gun battle. This is John Woo's best movie.

Good stuff.

Classic skits from the TV series redone...but not always for the better.

A classic "war" film with a awesome cast. Comedy gold!

Redo of the 1970s character with amazing special effects but not much else.

Top notch animation from of the highly successful Gunnm manga. A shame it was never continued past two OVAs.

While not as visually appealing as the Dune movie, this has far more story.

Film about the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Regiment. Solid performances and action.

Very fine romp featuring characters from popular fiction of old.

Humorous story with amazing action sequences.

Don't look for a direct adaptation of Asimov's book. Still, worth watching more than once.

Pretty good action flick worth some reviewing time.

Dubbed by hip-hop stars, good movie let down by a weak ending.

A classic in anime circles.

A fun film with some replay value.

Great S/FX and a tip of the hat to the Ketch GR...but that is about it.

Outrageous, over the top violence...but what else would you expect from Q.T.

Didn't like this one as much...must be because it was far more serious.

Ah...power to the people. Done before but not quite in this fashion.

A good, fun comedy. Certainly not the violent Mask of the comics.

Not quite as good as the first but still decent.

Decent watch but not memorable.

Good if only for the pulp sci-fi setting, which was pretty nifty.

I got this because Hauer was in it. Cyberpunk goodness but with scenes which don't fit.

Solid techno-thriller. Well worth a look.

Mindless violence and action...perfect. I kept this DVD at least.

Pretty decent cyberpunk movie. But forget the two sequels.

The ONLY movie in the Star Trek franchise I actually liked. The "save the whales" message aside, it was good fun.

Interesting for the rotoscoping and a hefty plot twist in the end.

Really over-the-top parody of those badly dubbed kung-fu flicks.

Now a icon of modern goth, this movie retains viewability, even if you're watching a dead man.

Interesting solely on the time period selected but fairly weak in accuracy and acting.

Chick action flick with nice fight scenes...but not much else.

Troy wasn't beaten in 14 days like in the movie...but, still a decent watch.

Completely mindless but a load of high-octane fun.

Rip-roaring fun.

Based on the book "Eaters of the Dead", a interesting movie with some historical aspects.

It has been a long time since the last WW1 aviation film. Weak story but the aerial sequences carry the movie.

Very cool, very surreal movie. Worth seeing.

Likely my favorite of all the Robocop movies.

Fun film...discounting the fact Dredd in the comics almost never took off his helmet.

Odd as it sounds, the movie was as fun as the cartoon.

Not nearly as good as the first. Likely why there isn't a third.

Good action anime based on the manga.

Of value only to see Satoshi Urushihara's art in motion.

Fine, vintage 1980s comedy gold.

Not one of Terry Gilliam's better movies but worth a watch.

Solid fun. I mean, really...who can't love a girl with a tank?

Not one of Atkinson's better movies...but it still has some comedy value.

Still can't compare to the original...but it was better than I thought it would be.

Quality action scenes set to a completely unbelievable backdrop.

Strange French movie about the Marquis de Sade with all the characters in animal costumes.

Yea...not the best rendition of Heinlein's book. The Japanese got it right though.

Some people hated this one...I just found it different.

Worth it only to see Anakin get his butt kicked.

A fun, if not slightly depressing film.

I don't know why I keep this. Must be for the stop-motion robot scenes.

Not the greatest treatment of a Philip K. Dick literary work....

A film carried by the special effects and certainly not by story.

For some reason, I still retain this DVD. Must have had some value in it.

Bizarre, film noir movie. Not your typical Japanese movie fare.

Wasn't too thrilled with this one.

Outside of the excellent S/FX on the dragon, the rest of the story was completely old hat.

Difficult movie to watch. Take No-Doze before you do.

Eh, so-so movie. Not sure why I keep it around.

Hatchet job on the book. Far too few funny moments.

I'm glad this one was only a buck at BigLots. Awful. Half a star is too much.

This OVA was utterly weak. A disgrace to the Appleseed manga. Forget this one and see the recent remake.

Wow...what a worthless movie. The only live-action version I'd seen worth a darn was a Chinese parody of the manga/anime.

Excellent film...but it is a blending of historical fact.

Great if you want to learn how to cuss someone out...not so good otherwise.

More of a love story with a war backdrop.

Considered a cyberpunk movie...it is pretty dry for my tastes.

Solid animation in many flavors. Well worth a look.

Powerful movie about survival during the German occupation of Poland.

The movie which put "gunkata" on the map.

Pretty decent techno-thriller. Very sweet looking plane, too. :)

Like the old comic come alive. Still worth watching.

Not what I expected. A pretty wild ride.

A classic. But, for me, it is all about Jesse and the minigun.

Back to the Bond of Fleming's book. Gritty and not the Bond you remember.

Girls in tiny uniforms, guns, and lesbian action...what more could you ask for?

The movie king of product placement. Somewhat entertaining.

Very well done movie on the heyday of Bettie Page.

Still a good watch even after 23 years.

The best of the Terminator movie franchise.

Tremendous special effects. It sets a new level. Can't wait for the sequels.

It had its moments of humor.

Mostly fiction but so far, a decent watch.

It has been awhile since I've seen it but, a good treatment of the character.

A classic. The only other Disney film I like.

Much better than the first one.

Eh...it had some charm but can't top the original.

A film which must be seen.

Decent but was kind of a let-down.

Fun watch.

See it for the matches but it drags between them. Still, better than the remake.

Hahaha! A classic. Mel Brooks at his best, IMHO.

Good for some laughs but nothing inspired.

Alright but a bit stilted.

Eh...could have been a better adaptation of the cartoon classic.

Rather weak movie.

I didn't understand it...but the music was pretty cool.

Decent enough movie based on the game.

Eh, can't say it is better than the first.

Well, it was watchable...once.

Nice visuals but a bit confusing if you hadn't read the book.

Three stars only because of the CG.

Awesome blazin' guns. Comes close to Hard Boiled but not quite.

A good watch as far as Japanese movies go.

Better than the first. Though, I hear that wasn't too hard.

Very nice collection of short animations.

Not the best of the bunch but a fun ride.
