The Man Who Sho...
Perfect 66 Points 1962

Greatest Western? The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence is certainly in the running, given how it plays with Wild West myth-making, features three iconic stars along with a passel of great costars and wields a humdinger of an ending. “Nothing’s too good for the man who shot Liberty Valance,” the l…

The Lives of Ot...
Perfect 68 Points 2006

The Stasi employed 100,000 East Germans, who maintained a network of 200,000 informants, in a country of 16 million people. So roughly 1% of the population controlled the other 99%. Ring any bells America? 1

The Lives of Others, a Stasi romantic drama, was the first perfect movie about t…

Perfect 9 Points 2000

Larry David is a true comedy genius. Who showed it when he produced a certain little sitcom known as “Seinfeld” but his real talent shows on HBO’s classic comedy series “Curb Your Enthusiasm”. “Curb” is a fictitious version of Larry David’s life post-seinfeld as writer and producer in Los Angeles…

Requiem for a D...
Perfect 10 Points 2000

[Yep, here’s another perfect one. Please read the whole review to know I put thought into this.]
When someone asks me what my favorite movie is, I say Requiem for a Dream. Personally, it is one of the best (but underrated) movies of the 2000-2009 decade. It is also one of the most emotional. Thi…

Toy Story 3
Perfect 92 Points 2010

Flawless. Silly, deep, wonderful and wise, TS3 pegs the perfection meter. Boing!! Purple, purple, purple. Every toy gets its due, every heart string gets plucked, every joke works. Wow, how does Pixar keep doing this? They’re the Jacksons – the Phil Jacksons – of movie making.

TS3 gi…

Perfect 8 Points 2008

This is a rock opera, yes I said it, OPERA. Believe it or not, the music really ties in the characters and suck you right in. They are catchy, so enjoy it, it’s worth it!

The story is about Nathan and his daughter Shilo. Nathan is a man that raised his daughter on his own since the untimely d…

The 39 Steps
Perfect 66 Points 1935

Delightful and gripping, this early Hitchcock gem became the model for fugitive hero thrillers ever since. Terrifically entertaining – albeit dated in dialog, edginess and production values – The 39 Steps is a must see for anyone interested in the original hero-on-the-run-from-the-good-and-bad…

Mystic River
Perfect 92 Points 2003

One of a string of latter day Clint classics, Mystic River inexorably drives forward from its loss-of-innocence opening to its heartbreaking conclusion, throwing in an ironic coda for good measure. Great story, punchy dialog, crisp direction, stellar acting: perfect movie.

Ed Wood
Perfect 9 Points 1994

This is easily my favorite Tim Burton movie alongside Batman and Edward Scissorhands. This is an inspirational film about someone who pursues their passion no matter how much they suck at doing it. Johnny Depp plays Edward D. Wood Jr, the infamous filmmaker who has been dubbed "The Worst Director…

Charade
Perfect 66 Points 1963

What we have here is movie magic sans modern FX. Instead Charade conjures its allure from a couple of nonpareil moviestars delivering sparkling dialog in an idealized Paris while a seductive theme song plays in the background. Such an intoxicating mix makes it easy to fall in love with Cary Gr…
