DerekVinyard's Top 50 Best Movie Of All-Time

[Derek Vinyard]

Since a lot of members are sharing their favourite films I figured I could share mine as well. I hope you gonna enjoy it . I'll do some small reviews since I'm not perfectly billingual...

So let's start this !

[Derek Vinyard]

50. Primal Fear (1996)
Gregory Hoblit
http://33.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lrpk4pikOj1qkqis8o1_500.gif
''Hey you look at me when I'm talkin' to you, bitch!''

- God I Love this movie ! The acting is so great , the directing is awesome and the storyline is simple but incredibly effective. The courtroom scenes are really well made and The Plot/Twist ending is unpredictable and very well done in my opinion. Edward Norton completely steal the show.

More To Come !

[Miss Vicky]

Still haven't seen Primal Fear, but it looks good.

:up: for starting a list!

49. Zodiac (2007)
David Fincher
http://www.loqueyotediga.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/ColeccionableDavidFincherZodiac13.png
He claims he killed thirteen people, but which ones can we actually confirm? There's three in Vallejo, one in Berryessa, the cabbie, that's it.

- One of my favorite serial killer movie of all-time. This movie is very slow but so perfect in all aspects ... The casting is amazing (especially from Gyllenhaal and Downey Jr.) , the storyline is slow but very realistic and captivating and The directing From Fincher is very good like usual. The ending is mysterious but it's perfect in my opinion .... after all it's based on a true story..


Awesome Soundtrack:

I haven't seen Primal Fear yet, but with you nominating for the Hall of Fame I will get there soon enough.

Zodiac is very, very good. :up:

[Miss Vicky]

Love Zodiac. Excellent pick. :up:

[Derek Vinyard]

thanks folks :D !!

[The Sci-Fi Slob]

Off to a great start there, Derek. Zodiac was in my top 100, great film.:up:

[cricket]

I love Primal Fear and even had it on my 90's list.

I wasn't crazy about Zodiac the one time I saw it but always thought it was either because of my mood or attention span that night. It's one that I've been meaning to see again.

[Gideon58]

Loved Primal Fear...brilliant performance by Edward Norton and Richard Gere has rarely been better. Zodiac is overlong but is worth seeing, another great Robert Downey Jr. performance.

[rauldc14]

I like both. Not in my top 100 but they are good.

[Derek Vinyard]

48. Let The Right One In (Morse) (2008)
Tomas Alfredson
http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/45644000/gif/_45644425_eli466b.gif
''I'm 12. But I've been twelve for a long time''

-Another awesome flick that I really appreciate. Certainly one of the best vampire movie ever made... The relationship between Oskar and Eli during all the 115min of the movie is purely beautiful and the ending is one of the best i've seen in the 2000's. The acting of the two young swedish actors is very powerful and amazing. I also love the directing from Alfredson for a vampire movie it's really well done .

47. The Thing (1982)
John Carpenter
http://noffload.net/uploader/files/1/monster%20movie%20marathon/thing3.jpg
''I know I'm human. And if you were all these things, then you'd just attack me right now, so some of you are still human. This thing doesn't want to show itself, it wants to hide inside an imitation''

- One of the best and most influencial horror movie of all time by the master John Carpenter. A perfect combination of incredible make-up effects and sci-fi horror that I highly appreciate. The best performance by Kurt Russell in my opinion and incredible directing. The ending is awesome and for me it's one of the best horror movie of all-time.

The Thing is a top 10 favorite from the 80s for me. But unfortunately I don't like the 80s much as a whole. Its great though.

one of my favorite year for me ! so many great movie in the 80's

[Daniel M]

I like Zodiac a lot and I think The Thing is great, one of my favourite horrors too :) Not seen the others.

[Camo]

Great stuff so far Derek :). In all honesty i'm not much a fan of Primal Fear, but you deserved a +1 for it because you've described your feelings of it so well in another langauge. Jesus i barely know English, this would be me attempting to speak to you in French :p (and i know some French). Also the worst episode of Friends ever :D.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqwzvtjeYBQ

Not seen Zodiac yet and the rest i loved or liked.

[Citizen Rules]

Derek, well said review on The Thing. I agree with all four of your points, especially about the ending. Had Hollywood done the 'usual ending', the film would have been weaker.

A good part of the suspense/terror was not knowing who is or isn't human......I love the scene where the scientist are tied to chairs as a blood test is done to reveal the alien....The way the actors react when the alien finally reveals itself, AND the humans are helpless tied to chairs right next to the beast!

[christine]

Great start Derek! Keep up the good reviews :)

46. 25th Hour (2002)
Spike Lee
http://i863.photobucket.com/albums/ab198/smalltimeinc/library_gifs_3/25th_hour_gif_11_01_11.gif
''I need you to make me ugly''

- Simply a beautiful movie surround by powerful performances from Norton , Pepper and Seymour Hoffman. Many memorables scenes in this flick especially the 4min monologue by Ed Norton which is also one of my favorite scene of all-time. The ending is one of the best i've seen so far ... very touching and completely marvelous.

[Godoggo]

You've got three movies on here that I like a lot; The Thing, Let the Right One In & The 25th Hour. Good choices.

Let the Right One In is so atmospheric and moody. To me that's exactly how vampire movies should be.

Online. Fright Rags and Rockabillia. I've also gotten some shirts from Rotten Cotton, but I don't really like the quality.

[Derek Vinyard]

45. Apocalypse Now (1979)
Francis Coppola
http://i.imgur.com/AggNclq.gif
''I love the smell of napalm in the morning''

- Certainly one of the most incredible and influential war movie of all-time. The acting and the directing are completely amazing for a movie of the 70's and the cinematography is absolutely beautiful and shocking. Brando and Sheen are astounding and the ending is perfect (The Doors too :D).

Soundtrack:

Yep great film, the third best war film of all time (after Dr.Strangelove and Grave of the Fireflies)

[Derek Vinyard]

I like more Apocalypse Now than those two movies... :)

[Pussy Galore]

Well you're wrong there :)

[Derek Vinyard]

Well you're wrong there :)

Dr.Stangelove is pretty good but noway better than Apocalypse now :)

[Derek Vinyard]

44. Halloween (1978)
John Carpenter
http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ly65fifCZK1qd8nujo1_500.gif
'' I watched him for fifteen years, sitting in a room staring at a wall, not seeing the wall, looking past the wall, looking at this night, inhumanly patient, waiting for some secret, silent alarm to trigger him off. Death has come to your little town, Sheriff. You can either ignore it or you can help me to stop it.''

- One of my favorite Psycho-Stabber horror movie . This movie is another great influential horror film that I highly appreciate! Micheal Myers is the creepiest horror vilain of all-time without a doubt and Jamie Lee Curtis give one hell of a solid performance as her little innocent sister. The storyline is simple but incredibly scary and effective. This is the best movie from John Carpenter in my opinion and to date one of the most terrifying movie ever made.

The Best Soundtrack Ever:

Halloween and The Thing. :cool: Both 100 films for me.

[Daniel M]

I like Halloween but don't love it, but I do love Apocalypse Now, one of my favourite war films :)

[cricket]

I couldn't quite get into Let the Right One In but I'd try it again. Halloween is a classic and The Thing, Apocalypse Now, and The 25th Hour are just completely awesome movies.

Daniel it's my 3rd favorite war movie :)

[The Gunslinger45]

Apocalypse Now is my favorite war movie. Unless you count Dr Strangelove. Though I say that is a comedy above all else.

43. The Wolf Of Wall Street (2013)
Martin Scorsese
http://media1.onsugar.com/files/2013/06/17/777/n/1922283/4b335bba7661873b_make_it_rain.xxxlarge.gif
''Let me tell you something. There's no nobility in poverty. I've been a poor man, and I've been a rich man. And I choose rich every f*cking time''

- One of the best and funniest movie i've ever seen. The storyline is amazing and got so many memorable scenes . The acting is more than perfect and this is the best performance by Leonardo DiCaprio in my opinion. We saw the real side of Wall Street in this movie and it's entertaining as hell. Scorses strikes again.

The Wolf Of Wall Street - rating_2
Apocalypse Now - rating_3 (maybe needs a rewatch)
Halloween - rating_3
Let The Right One In - rating_2 (it's for the original version, tho)
Primal Fear - rating_3_5
The Thing - rating_4


Mediocre list so far. Has some films I either dislike or think are decent, but also got pretty cool Primal Fear and awesome The Thing.

[Derek Vinyard]

42. The Silence of the Lambs (1991)
Jonathan Demme
http://www.admitonedrinkinggames.com/wp-content/uploads/Silence-of-the-Lambs-Drinking-Game.gif
''It excites him. Most serial killers keep some sort of trophies from their victims''

- One of the most impressive crime-drama movie of all time and also one of the best movie from the 90's. Anthony Hopkins is incredible as Dr.Hannibal Lecter , Ted Levine is so freaking hilarious as ''Buffalo Bill'' and Jodie Foster is good as ''Clarice Starling''. The storyline is perfect surrounded by many memorable scenes and the ending is very good for this kind of movie. Definitely , an instant-classic.

Mr. Minio is not a big fan of Hollywood movies in general. Overall I found all the movies in this list that I had watched to be really good, Apocalypse Now is in my top 10 and it was the first movie in my top 10 that I have watched.

41. No Country For Old Men (2007)
The Cohen Brothers
http://tn.en.fishki.net/26/upload/en/201304/07/9482/48d654d0d78f9968c68946cd59f61c48.gif
''I think you do. So this is what I'll offer: you bring me the money and I'll let her go. Otherwise she's accountable, the same as you. That's the best deal you're going to get. I won't tell you you can save yourself, because you can't''

- This movie is a blast and another masterpiece by The Cohen Brothers. The storyline is absolutely perfect with many great characters and amazing scenes. The mood during all the 122min is also a very good factor for my appreciaton, I find it very calm and slow but incredible impressive and effective. The ending is one of the best ever in my opinion and defined this movie a glorious masterpiece.

Martin Scorsese
http://31.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lse9ybCNwT1qj65ubo1_500.gif
''which would be worse to live as a monster or die as a good man?''

- Another Martin Scorsese movie that I highly appreciate, I very like the mood and the atmosphere of this movie.... it's calm and silent but very captivating like many ''Scorsese'' movie. DiCaprio is once again more than excellent in this thriller and Ruffalo play very well his assistant. The storyline is great and the plot/twist at the end is unpredictable and well crafted.

This is a great mainstream list. Reminds me of my list when I joined here.

I don't find Primal Fear , Let The Right One In and 25th hour mainstream but it's your opinion and I respect it :)

[cricket]

I'm in the minority but Shutter Island was a dissapointment for me. The movie looks great and the performances are great, but I saw the ending coming a mile away and I felt no tension.:shrug:

[Camo]

sadly nope ...

But you have Fanny and Alexander, Persona and Seventh Seal crossed off your lists ;).

Some great picks recently the only one i don't like is No Country For Old Men.

all of them are on my watchlist quite a long time and look forward to see them in the next three months :) !

what you didn't like in ''No Country For Old Men'' I'm curious ?

[Camo]

all of them are on my watchlist quite a long time and look forward to see them in the next three months :) !

what you didn't like in ''No Country For Old Men'' I'm curious ?

So do you cross off movies you're going to watch in the future?

I'm not exactly sure, No Country is the sort of movie i'd love. I've watched it twice and the first time it just didn't do anything for me, the second time i was bored out of my skull and nearly switched it off half way through. I think it's one of the few movies i disagree with the majority of the site on.

The atmosphere was awesome, nobody can deny that.

[bluedeed]

I don't find Primal Fear , Let The Right One In and 25th hour mainstream but it's your opinion and I respect it :)

The middle one is certainly less so, but I don't know what else to call a multimillion dollar Hollywood production starring Richard Gere and complete with an Oscar nomination but mainstream, nimo. Though that's not important anyways, I've got the feeling I'm on somebody's ignore list anyways

[rauldc14]

By mainstream I mean post 1980, non foreign films.

[cricket]

I think Bluedeed is right; I would actually consider just about anything in wide release to be mainstream, especially with well known actors.

[Derek Vinyard]

By mainstream I mean post 1980, non foreign films.

I'm not the biggest foreign film fan unfortunately but I can appreciate some of them ...

@bluedeed I think you're right too ... and I don't have a ''Ignore list'' I respect the opinion of everybody... :)

Camo not really but I got many movies on my watchlist and Bergman is one great director I never give a chance ...

[Miss Vicky]

Shutter Island is a very good movie, but no way would I rank it above The Wolf of Wall Street (or indeed several of the other titles on this list), but then this isn't my favorites list.

I hated No Country For Old Men, but I know I'm in the minority on that one.

[The Sci-Fi Slob]

39. The Butterfly Effect (2004)
Eric Bress & J. Mackye Gruber
http://37.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m708mlLgka1ryfiuwo1_500.gif
''You can't change who people are without destroying who they were''

-One of the most underrated flick of all-time in my opinion. This movie is incredibly well crafted and directed , the storyline is completely awesome and the ending is perfect. This is also the best performance from Ashton Kutcher to date in my opinion and Amy Smart is very good too. A great ''underdog'' movie that I really appreciate with many very good scenes and characters.

it's a movie that nobody really talk about but for me this film is a blast and the ending is perfect

I think a big problem is just most people don't take Ashton Kutcher seriously. I'm with them normally, but he was good in this.

[Camo]

I think a big problem is just most people don't take Ashton Kutcher seriously. I'm with them normally, but he was good in this.

I'd already heard of this movie, but i knew next to nothing about it and had no idea that Aston Kutcher was in it until i saw the poster. I'll definitley try it now that Cricket has gave his seal of approval :cool:. His description of the sort of movies he seeks out in relation to Dead Mans Shoes; made me realize how similar our tastes are :).

[Derek Vinyard]

I think a big problem is just most people don't take Ashton Kutcher seriously. I'm with them normally, but he was good in this.

actually I'm 100% agree, Kutcher isn't a very prolific actor but the man got talent for sure and in this flick he was quite great imo !

38. Donnie Darko (2001)
Richard Kelly
http://i.imgur.com/Ey5hNon.gif
''I hope that when the world comes to an end, I can breathe a sigh of relief, because there will be so much to look forward to''

- I rewatched it yesterday actually for my top 50 because it was near to do it and I came to the conclusion that this movie is a complete masterpiece no doubt about it. One of the most bizarre and brilliant movie that i've ever seen. The best movie of Jake Gyllenhaal career for sure and one of the best movie of the 2000's. The atmosphere and the mood of this movie is just perfect and the ending is very touching and beautiful. Definitely, a one of a kind instant classic.

37. The Big Lebowski (1998)
The Coen Brothers
http://cdn.theatlantic.com/static/mt/assets/culture_test/banner%20big%20lebowski_edited-1.jpg
''Look, let me explain something to you. I'm not Mr. Lebowski. You're Mr. Lebowski. I'm the Dude. So that's what you call me. That, or His Dudeness � Duder � or El Duderino, if, you know, you're not into the whole brevity thing''

- The Best movie from The Cohen Brothers in my opinion and it's actually a masterpiece of his kind. I absolutely love the characters in this flick , Jeff Bridges as ''The Dude'' is completely hilarious and awesome , John Goodman and Julianne Moore are also excellent and funny as hell. The Storyline is very good and got many memorable scenes. The ''Break the 4th Wall'' ending is also great and very ingenious. The Atmosphere of the movie is also a very good factor for this kind of flick that I highly appreciate.

I love The Big Lebowski, probably my favourite comedy :up:

[mrtylerdurden]

I don't mean to be one of those spelling trolls or anything but it's spelled Coen. I can see how one would be confused on the spelling though. And Lebowski is great! Saw it on the big screen yesterday.

[cricket]

How do you love it but not find it very funny? :confused:

I think it's funny more in an amusing sort of way rather than laugh out loud funny. I love it because it's entertaining, cool, easy to watch, good characters(except I don't like Goodman in it and I think Buscemi is wasted), etc. 4

[Mr Minio]

How do you love it but not find it very funny? :confused: He must be one of 'em nihilists. A good flick, but overrated as all Coen films. It's one of their best, tho. rating_3_5

[Miss Vicky]

II don't like Goodman in it

What?! :eek:

[cricket]

What?! :eek:

I have mixed feelings on him as an actor. I think he's likable but he always plays a loudmouth character who draws attention to himself, so of course he's going to stand out. And I think the character of Walter is this at it's peak. I also think Walter is the least original character in the movie, you know the crazy veteran, and it seems to me that they're reaching for laughs with him.

[mrtylerdurden]

I'm guessing that everybody here already knows this but I'm going to say it anyway. Walter is somewhat based on the writer/director John Milius.

Which makes Walter all the more awesome.

[Miss Vicky]

I have mixed feelings on him as an actor. I think he's likable but he always plays a loudmouth character who draws attention to himself.

I wouldn't say always. His Dan Connor was relatively quiet on Roseanne, but then that show had plenty of other loudmouths in it.

[cricket]

I wouldn't say always. His Dan Connor was relatively quiet on Roseanne, but then that show had plenty of other loudmouths in it.

I agree with that; I thought he was outstanding on that show. It seems like he's incredibly typecast in film though. Maybe it's his size, idk, but I certainly don't dislike him. I just thought he was perhaps the weakest character in a film full of great characters. I probably misspoke when I said I didn't like him in Lebowski; I really mean that I didn't care for the over the top character.

36. The Fighter (2010)
David O. Russell
http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m91wmxVo5y1qffe9jo1_500.gif
''And Micky's uh...you know a very heavy hitter. He's got thu...thunderous, I'm tellin' you, thunderous left punch. Micky, he like...he...he get's in and takes the punishment. I don't know why he does it. He goes right ****in' in there''

- This is the best movie from David O. Russell in my opinion and my favorite Boxing movie. The storyline is pretty awesome and the story of ''Micky Ward'' and his run to the top is amazing. The film is also surround by many great performances especially by Christian Bale as the ''Crack addict'' ex-champion brother of Mark Wahlberg who's by the way is also very good as ''Micky Ward'' and Amy Adams is once again more than good as the girlfriend of Micky. The ending is a little bit cliche like every boxing movie but very nice.

Ridley Scott
http://37.media.tumblr.com/1600f70461766c0aad43dbc07defbb9b/tumblr_n5ipvlmXte1qjxgmho5_500.gif
''You still don't understand what you're dealing with, do you? The perfect organism. Its structural perfection is matched only by its hostility''

- The best sci-fi horror movie of all-time without a doubt and also my second favorite movie from Ridley Scott. This movie is a visual beauty and a pure masterpiece from the 70's with great acting and many memorable scenes. An impressive and amazing accomplishment for one of the creepiest creature ever put on the big screen. I also very like the ending for this kind of movie.

Alien is a classic. Back when monster movies actually had suspense AS WELL AS blood, guts, and jump scares.
There you go.

[mrtylerdurden]

I feel like jump scares are just cheap thrills. I mean all they are are random sounds at a loud volume. That isn't scary, it's just startling. What makes a good horror movie to me are buildup and tension.

[jiraffejustin]

The actual Ward/Gatti fights are better than The Fighter, but I did enjoy the movie the first time I saw it. My tastes have expanded since then though, so if I watched it again I might not feel the same way.

[edarsenal]

LOVE Alien - scared the hell out of me as a kid at the theater and i REALLY need to see the Fighter

34. The Green Mile (1999)
Frank Darabont
http://www.lifed.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/the-green-mile-1999.jpg
''Mostly, I'm tired of people being ugly to each other. I'm tired of all the pain I feel and hear in the world every day. There's too much of it — it's like pieces of glass in my head, all the time. Can you understand?''

- An important movie of my childhood. I love it with all of my heart and each times I see it I cry during 10min. Very cheesy movie but so effective on the emotional plan. The Casting is awesome especially from the late Micheal Clarke Duncan who give's the best performance of his career. The storyline got a little supernatural look that I'm find pretty good and interesting. The ending is one of the most emotional thing I've ever seen in a movie.

Irvin Kershner
http://electricsheep.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/lightsabres.gif
''Your destiny lies with me, Skywalker. Obi-Wan knew this to be true''

- From what I remember I always love Star Wars since my Chilhood when my father initiate me to these classics and I like all of them but for me The Empire Strikes Back is the best between all of the six. More action and Dialogues , great confrontations and The training of Luke with Master Yoda is very awesome in my opinion and it's fun to look it. Mark Hamill , Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher are astounding in their respective roles of savior of the galaxy. The Ending is great , it's always nice to see the vilain winning at the end of a movie in my opinion and this is the perfect representation.

Awesome Soundtrack :

32. The Usual suspects (1995)
Bryan Singer
http://i.imgur.com/ux04qlB.gif
''The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist''

- This movie is certainly one of the best accomplishment of the 90's without a doubt. All actors in this movie are excellent especially Kevin Spacey who give one hell of an excellent performance as ''Keyser Söze''. The storyline is very simple but so well played that it is very awesome. This is another movie when the vilain win with a very impressive plot/twist that I highly appreciate. In conclusion, very great directing by Bryan Singer.

Christopher Nolan
http://images.amcnetworks.com/ifc.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/tumblr_m9zkssGhlV1rnw1mso2_500.gif
''Every great magic trick consists of three parts or acts.''

- This is the best magic movie of all-time in my opinion and one of the best of the great Christopher Nolan. The Storyline is great and built with many details which are really interesting. The relationship between Robert Angier (Hugh Jackman) and Alfred Bolden (Christian Bale) is very well developped and original. It's thrilling from beggining to end and Scarlett Johanson is hot as f*ck. The ending is awesome and really impressive as Christopher Nolan always does.

Brilliant choice. In my top 50 as well.

It really is a great film with great performances, particularly from Bale and Jackman, love how they try to outdo one another. They are so into that that they seemingly lose focus of who they are as people. It's a very original storyline that is perfectly executed by Nolan. His finest work and that says a lot.

Rodrigo Cort�s
http://gozamos.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/buried.jpg
''I need one million dollars by nine o'clock tonight or I'll be left to die in this coffin!''

- SURPRISE ! My underdog of my top 50. This movie is incredibly well acted and the storyline is awesome , realistic , creepy and very effective. It thrilled me during the whole movie and Ryan Reynolds performance is just amazing and powerful, I trully think that he is a talented actor that never had a chance to show it to the world and in this movie he proves everybody wrong. The ending is highly shocking and very emotional but in my opinion perfect in every point. This film is a blast.

''You have forgotten who you are, and so forgotten me. Look inside yourself, Simba. You are more than what you have become. You must take your place in the Circle of Life''

- This movie is the best anim� of all-time in my opinion and A BIG part of my childhood. I remember crying during 15min the first time I see it. Scars is a Son of a b*tch. A Beautiful Disney accomplishment with great soundtrack , mood and characters. The Storyline is an emotional bomb that heartbreak everybody who seen it and It's beautiful and incredibly well made. Simba is a beast and theirs no doubt about it (sorry for the fault I'm a little bit drunk).

''Dreams feel real while we're in them. It's only when we wake up that we realize something was actually strange''

- A masterpiece by the great Christopher Nolan (Haters gonna hate). This movie is an incredible accomplishment and one of the most impressive visual beauty of all-time. It's also one of the best film of the decade so far... Leonardo DiCaprio is astounding once again as Cobb the dream extractor and Gordon-Levitt is pretty good as the partner of Cobb. This film has also one of the best cinematography of the decade it's absolutely amazing and Marion Cotillard is gorgeous like usual. The ending is perfect and the mood of the movie is a very good factor for my appreciation.

[honeykid]

I quite liked Inception, however, with the exception of one scene (Cotillard and diCaprio) at the end, I thought acting was almost non-existent. Well, good/stand out acting, anyway. It's not that anyone was bad, it's just that level of acting wasn't necessary.

[Swan]

I was obsessed with Inception when it came out. I saw it five times in it's opening week. I have problems with it now, I think it's a little too self-serious and I hate that a supposedly intelligent blockbuster spouts the "10 percent of our brain" myth, but overall I still think it's very good.

[Lucas]

Inception is an ok film, nothing to ride home about imo. Its too "Nolany" for my tastes.

Just a good, above average blockbuster.

Edward Zwick
http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyj4fpPxHU1rnbkxho1_500.gif
''Sometimes I wonder... will God ever forgive us for what we've done to each other ?''

- Another flick with DiCaprio in it but this one is the best movie with him in the principal role in my opinion. One of the most realistic and shocking masterpiece of the 2000's and this film also show the atrocities of the war in Africa because of the rebel and of the Child Soldiers. The Storyline is very awesome and the action scenes are absolutely stunning. Hounsou and Connelly are also pretty good. The Ending is shocking but so well executed and beautiful, Leonardo know how to do it well .

''You see, there are still faint glimmers of civilization left in this barbaric slaughterhouse that was once known as humanity. Indeed that's what we provide in our own modest, humble, insignificant... oh, f*ck it''

- Beautiful , Astounding and Impressive movie from Wes Anderson. One of the movie with the best visual and cinematography of all-time without a doubt. The Casting is more than excellent with names like Ralph Fiennes , Edward Norton , Adrien Brody , Harvey Keitel ,etc. The Storyline is very entertaining and seizing as hell. The mood and the music are also pretty good. Definitely an oscar contender.

- A masterpiece by one of my favorite Director of all time: David Fincher. This movie is brilliant and super effective, and it's one of the best thriller-crime ever made. Pitt , Freeman and Spacey are perfect and John Doe is an awesome creepy psycho character. The storyline is simple but very fluid and the ending is great and completely astounding. Kevin Spacey deserved to be called the vilain master.

Because I have something that's more powerful then your psychosis. It's called a volume knob, and the only thing I have to do to make you go away is to turn it counterclockwise. You got that? You copy that? ''

- The best horror low-budget movie of all time in my opinion. All the characters of this movie are great and memorable, Steve Zahn as the rebellious older brother , Paul Walker as the calm and suggestible young brother and Rusty Nail as the psychotic truck killer that is otherwise one of my favorite vilain in a movie. The storyline is simple , effective and so dam*n captivating. The ending is the conlusion of a work of art by director John Dahl. Highly underrated.

Rutger Hauer give here his best performance in his career and there's no doubt about it , Sean Young and Harrison Ford are more than excellent too.

I last watched Blade Runner about 6 months ago and it was the first time I really enjoyed it. It'll never be a favorite of mine, but I can understand the love it gets.

[nebbit]

I :love: it

22. Pirates Of The Caribbean: The Curse Of The Black Pearl (2003)
Gore Verbinski
http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m71xoxVis41qgzqnco2_r1_500.gif
'' I've heard of one, supposed to be very fast, nigh uncatchable: the Black Pearl''

- Another important movie of my childhood. One of the few movie I very like each time I see it... and one of the most funniest and complete storyline I've ever seen. Jack Sparrow is one of my favorite character of all time in a movie because of his charisma and his funny badass look that I really appreciate. Also Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom are pretty good in their respective roles of Elizabeth Swann and Will Turner. The funny atmosphere and the mood incredibly well executed are two GREAT factor for the rating of this movie. MY NAME IS JACK SPARROW CAPTAIN JACK SPARROW.

Awesome Soundtrack :

Good pick! I do like the first Pirates movie quite a bit. The second was fine, I really liked Davy Jones. The third was an overlong mess, although I remember liking some of it. the fourth I never finished. I Agree, Depp owns these movies, one of his best performances. the other two characters I remember being kind of uninteresting to me, though . I've actually been interested in revisiting them soon, it's been a while since I've watched them. I'll have to check out the rest of your list. I don't get on here often, but I like reading these, I have a lot of free time. :p

[The Sci-Fi Slob]

Pirates of the Caribbean is good but how anyone can rate it higher than Blade Runner is beyond me..but I would say that, wouldn't I...
..:flair:

[cricket]

I haven't seen any of that series yet.

[honeykid]

The first one's the only one I've seen and want to see, but I'd recommend it, cricket, if you want to have a chuckle and fun 2 hours. Seeing how you liked the Errol Flynn Robin Hood, I'm sure you'll get into it.

SFS, I think I'd put a great deal above Blade Runner and Pirates would definitely be one of them. By a long, long distance, too. :p:D

It was very good:up:

The first Pirates film is such a lot of fun, but the fun wears too thin when they decide to make more.
Se7en is a magnificent film.

21. Saving Private Ryan (1998)
Steven Spielberg
http://31.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l71b5gVGKd1qzwi58o1_500.gif
''Sometimes I wonder if I've changed so much, my wife is even gonna recognize me whenever it is I get back to her, and how I'll ever be able to tell about days like today. Aw, Ryan. I don't know anything about Ryan, I don't care. The man means nothing to me; he's just a name. But if, you know, if going to Ramelle, and finding him so he can go home, if that earns me the right to get back to my wife, well then, then that's my mission.''

- One of the most shocking , brutal , realist and astounding war movie of all-time from the master Steven Spielberg. Incredible accomplishment for a movie from te 90's. Bloody movie with awesome performance and unbelivable direction. Tom Hanks and Barry Pepper especially steals the show. The Ending is great near perfect and the movie is truly masterpiece of the modern generation.

Excellent choice, great war film.:up:

[honeykid]

Really? I thought the ending was rubbish. It didn't make sense at all. SPR is OK, but it's just three excellent set pieces with some words to string them together. I've never seen the appeal, but then, I don't care for war films, either.

:laugh: What's the matter, SFS? Too much truth for ya?

[cricket]

I saw Saving Private Ryan at the movies, and while I think it's an extremely impressive film in a lot of ways, my enjoyment was moderate. I don't like going to the movies though; it's possible that my enjoyment was hurt by that.

Too much crap, repeated, ad infinitum. Really, you've already made half of these posts a half dozen or more times anyway, and you don't even have a clue what happens in the movies you're crapping on because you can't remember. "I turned it off" could mean I was sleepy, sick, had something else to do, or just liked exercising your God-like prerogative to assign the film to oblivion or whatever. Now you'll come back and make a response you've already done hundreds of times. Love ya, honey. :cool:

[Camo]

Not as big a fan of Saving Private Ryan as most but it's still a good film. Also as everyone else has said the first Pirates was alot of fun.

Looking forward to the rest :)

It's been so long since I've seen SPR in full, but I've seen the opening quite a few times. Definitely unforgettable.

''I don't need money, it makes people cautious. ... Rather than love, and money and faith, and fame, and fairness, gimme truth''

- One of the most beautiful , pure and touching movie of all time. It's inspiring and very captivating, A one of kind movie with an incredible character story of Christopher McCandless who just want to live Into The Wild and other than that nothing else matter. Emile Hirsch is truly inspiring and powerful in his role and he make the movie incredibly easy and funny to watch. The Ending make me cry every time I see it a very beautiful story that I highly recommand to everybody on this forum.

I couldn't finish it.

hell yeah one of your best :p !! thanks :)

[Godoggo]

I've seen Into the Wild a couple of times and also read the book. He's an interesting person to try to figure out. I've met a lot of traveling people like him in my life. People that have no interest in living a "normal" life and travel here and there depending on what Rainbow Gathering is happening and if it's time to go work the beat farms or the more adventurous ones might find work on the boats in Alaska. Some had some pretty quirky notions about life, but that was the thing too ; being quirky and weird isn't just tolerated but celebrated. There is a certain type of freedom that lifestyle offers in a lot of different ways . I have a friend that is covered head to toe including his face with tattoos and goes where the wind blows. He does exactly what he wants when he wants.

I guess my point is that I have had some contact with the Chris McCandless types and have even spent a bit of time traveling around where the wind blew me and even jumped a train or two, so his ideals aren't that much of a foreign concept to me. Most of the kids I met were also middle to upper middle class kids who just felt too confined by the college work marriage death life set out before them. It was a tempting lifestyle in a lot of ways but I craved stability. I didn't like being hungry. I like having my bank account and knowing where I will sleep every night. I am a sell-out. :D I won't go to far into it, but it's also a very hypocritical lifestyle in a lot of ways.

Knowing what I know, I thought the movie did a good job of capturing all that. I know some people were furious at McCandless for hurting his parents and considered him completely selfish. It is a selfish way to live in some regards. They are people who will share whatever they have with whoever is around them, but in the end they do what they want when they want and they are beholden to no one. I just don't know that I see anything wrong with that. It was really interesting to me how upset this movie made a lot of people.

Anyway, it's a good pick and I'm glad you liked it.

[cricket]

I've always wanted to see Into the Wild. I have to get on that.

Into the Wind has been festering on my watchlist for many years now.

19. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966)
Sergio Leone
http://media.giphy.com/media/IRQBDU7x2LZUQ/giphy.gif
'' You see in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend. Those with loaded guns, and those who dig. You dig.''

- The Best Spaghetti Western of all time without a doubt and one of the best film ever made by the Master Sergio Leone. Tuco , Blondie and Angel Eyes are both three of my favorite characters ever. They are so awesome and badass it's unbelievable. Many memorables scenes in this classic western of the 60's and The scene of the Ecstasy of Gold is one of my favorite from a movie. After 5th viewing I still love it more and more and more. R.I.P Eli Wallach.

Miss Vicky better not see this...

[Swan]

Good movie. It's been so long since I saw it though. I watched it when I was probably 17.

I'm a bigger fan of Once Upon a Time in the West though, which is one of the best movies ever made.
