I hate Paul Thomas Anderson.
I liked Blue Jasmine and Irrational Man, but I'm not sure Woody Allen movies are really for me.

I'll never not love this movie, for real. Every time I watch it I cry with laughter, I get this stupid looking grin on my face, and quote along with every memorable word of dialogue it throws at me. It is an alltime favorite.9. Nightcrawler directed by Dan Gilroy -
On the ground of cinematography alone the film is phenomenal, but combined with the amazing acting, gritty visuals, and a morbidly gripping story, this movie never fails to have you on the edge of your seat, waiting for the next moment of fear. Jake Gyllenhaal has now cemented himself as one of the best actors I have ever seen, becoming this uncomfortable and emotionless character, but still making him compelling to watch. I could not be more pleased and I cannot convey my love of this movie in words.8. The Lego Movie directed by Phil Lord and Chris Miller -
I paid good money for this movie, and I've watched it at least 5 times. And every time I find something new to enjoy about it. Visually it's astounding, the voice acting is great, the jokes fit the bill for every viewers age, and it's a very intelligent and thought provoking story. And it's fun.7. The Thing directed by John Carpenter -
This instantly became one of my favorite horror movies, and probably one of my favorites of all time. The Thing has the most perfect execution of terror and bone chilling ambiance, using Ennio Morricone's heartpouding rhythmic beats to drive this constant feeling of dread into you. I had to look up his name, but Rob Bottin, is the heart and soul of this film. His breathtakingly horrific practical effects are so disgusting and beautiful it honestly makes the movie as perfect as it is.6. Dead Man Walking directed by Tim Robbins -
This, this is what a religious movie should be. Not hamfisted, not overtly against outside culture, it should be real, gritty, and not shying away from the darkness of life. Words cannot quite express my feelings about this movie, I call it brilliant in the lightest sense. The editing visuals were perfectly done, don't even get me started on the beauty of the acting, and the great dialogue writing, only add on to the list of things this film does right.5. Stand By Me directed by Rob Reiner -
This film is practically timeless, and I say that after having seen it only once. Seldom a film with child acting that doesn't leave me annoyed, and this movie gave performances better than certain adult actors. The story was very tightly paced, beautifully written, and a classic by every means. I love this film, no other way to say it.4. The Breakfast Club directed by John Hughes -
I don't know at what moment it just clicked for me, but the compelling weirdness of all the characters became one of the most charming aspects. Every actor brought a performance almost essential to the characters, and I don't think without them I would've loved it as much. I could watch this over and over, and I think I would get more out of it. It's been a while since I've been this in love with a movie.3. 12 Angry Men directed by Sidney Lumet -
Filled with very good performances in a well contained story, making you question every single idea that forms itself into the plot. Showing it's age, but even in today it has compelling idea, well written themes of stereotyping, and a realistic darkness.2. Mad Max: Fury Road directed by George Miller -
I preordered this movie, and got a free digital copy. First thing I did was stream it to the TV. This film is a masterpiece of action cinema. The visuals are stunning, the story is simplistically brilliant, and the characters are gripping in their subtle ways. This is definitely one of the best films ever made, it's perfect.1. Children of Men directed by Alfonso Cuarón -
A visual masterpiece of film so well written and filmed that it goes right in every way, there was never a dull moment. The cinematography is gorgeous in every way and helps the story have a real and earthly feel that makes me question whether or not this could actually happen. One of the most real and gripping dystopian movies I have ever seen.
