Dirty Dancing PG-13

I think I enjoyed this more than I really should have. It's quite a sweet innocent, breaking into the borders of summer love growing up type of movie. I am not the biggest fan of dancing in general but I like the Cheesiness in this film and Swayze was doing his 80's James Dean attempt of a bad boy turned soft for a girl who was soft but became confident. Sweet story, for what it is it's a fun film to watch. I suppose it would have been better if there was more about the relationship between baby and her dad but this isn't exactly a film based on deep drama. Good fun.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show R

A bit of a weird one to rate so I'll give it a neutral rating. It was bizarre and most of it made no sense but the music was good. I suppose watching it back then, it might have been a bit of a shock and fresh but seeing it now you can see how dated it is.

Psycho R

The greatest horror movie ever to me. The score, acting, characters, story, set... flawless. One of Hitchcocks best easily and probably my favourite movie of all time. I have seen this movie around 50 times or more and never ever get sick of it. The love I have for this movie is scary, it's just too good. Hitchcock is the greatest director that ever lived. Anthony Perkins is the perfect cast as Norman Bates. His good innocent looks are convincing enough through out the movie to keep you wondering what the truth is. I believe it's the greatest horror performance ever and one of the most interesting villain characters in cinema history. No one could have done it like Perkins did. This is the movie that got me into black & white and Hitchcock and it has a special place in my heart forever. It has one of if not the most well known scene in cinema history (shower scene) and one of the best sets in the Bates Motel and the creepy house.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (Il Buono, il Brutto, il Cattivo.) R

John Ford is without a doubt the Western genre God but no one did them as cool as Leone. Eli Wallach give a classic comical performance and is one of the main reasons why this movie is so great. The score is well known and deservedly so. It has become a trademark to anyone that thinks of a western movie. The scene where we go through the Civil War followed by the grave dance and final show down is one of the greatest half hour or so moments in cinema history, pure gold.
