Perfect 66 Points 1948

Badges? We don’t need no stinkin’ badges!

The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, OTOH, does need to be viewed by every serious movie fan. By turns funny, challenging and intriguing, it deserves its status as one of the greatest movies of all time. Humphrey Bogart’s scurrilous Fred C. Dobbs …

True Blood
Perfect 10 Points 2007

There’s no escaping it, I adore this little campy horror show. Vampires are butchered in the media today with Twilight, but True Blood shows what vampires are really about, while showing insane amounts of sex and violence.

Double Indemnity
Perfect 66 Points 1944

Want to hear what perfect dialog sounds like? Listen to Fred MacMurray and Barbara Stanwyck in Double Indemnity. Credit Raymond Chandler, James M. Cain and director Billy Wilder, three legendary writers who didn’t get along but nonetheless birthed “the paradigmatic film noir.”1

A perfect…

Stagecoach
Perfect 66 Points 1939

What a trip – iconic images before they were cliches, John Wayne’s star-making performance, a crisply compelling story. Legendary director John Ford’s first talkie Western warrants its status as one of the most influential movies of all time. Clocking in at a mere 96 minutes, it’s also tautly e…

Perfect 5 Points 2008

..Midnight Meat Train signals the return of originality to the horror genre. Based upon the short story of the same name from Clive Barker’s “Books of Blood”, Midnight Meat Train is everything you’d expect from a film with that title…although it also contains one very interesting plotline that…

The Fly
Perfect 10 Points 1986

The Fly is one of those extremely rare 80s horror movies that isn’t a cliche camp-fest. It doesn’t have an ending that drags on, it doesn’t use cliche moments and it’s incredibly inventive and eye-popping. When I started watching the movie I had absolutely no idea what I was in for and when I fin…

Training Day
Perfect 71 Points 2001

Training Day is a perfect bad-cop movie, with a towering performance from Denzel, all in as the baddest man to ever carry a shield. Supported by several stellar actors in juicy parts, perfectly directed by Antoine Fuqua from martial specialist David Ayer’s knowing script, Training Day unspoo…

Run Lola Run
Perfect 10 Points 1998

Lola Rennt, or, in English, Run Lola Run, is my favorite German movie ever. Period. Run Lola Run is mindblowingly original. It’s essentially a red haired woman trying to get money for her boyfriend in time before “bad people” get him. It’s no spoiler when I say…. she dies. Yes, she dies, and wh…

Amadeus
Perfect 66 Points 1984

Brilliance has never been more exquisitely appreciated than in Amadeus, with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s genius obsessively observed by Antonio Salieri, his lesser rival. Profound jealousy makes for such sweet sorrow, especially as snottily delivered by F. Murray Abraham in a stupendously juicy r…

Perfect 10 Points 2004

I’m going to start by saying this is one of my personal favorites. Although it may not me one of Miyazki’s best, it’s still a masterpiece on its own. I’ve seen both the english subtitled, and the english dub, and I am very suprised how close the 2 are. Usually dubs only take the most important as…
