Vertigo
Really Great 78 Points 1958

Hitchcock’s classic thriller, dizzying as ever, still packs enough punch to make girls scream. While tame by the crude standards of the past thirty years, the movie doesn’t lack for intrigue, glamour and surprise.

That said and though Vertigo is widely acclaimed as Hitchcock’s masterpiece, …

The Maltese Falcon
Really Great 7 Points 1941

A film noir twisting and turning and presenting Bogart at the top of his game, The Maltese Falcon is a deservedly classic Hollywood movie packed with subterfuge and manipulation from beginning to end.

Witness
Really Great 66 Points 1985

Harrison Ford came down to earth in Witness, proving his stardom transcended SciFi and Fantasy. More importantly, Peter Weir’s big hit proved a heartwarming thriller. Still is, some 30 years after its premier.

Ford plays an ambitious Philly Detective who holes up with a nearby Amish family a…

Oliver Twist
Really Great 12 Points 1948

A true classic of a movie, this really great film has been (somewhat sadly, I must now say) by the musical version released in 1968. Although I have not actually read Dickens’ book, this version feels much more true-to-the-book than its musical counterpart, and I liked it. Coming in at just under…

The Net
Really Great 10 Points 1995

This is actually a very underrated thriller with, IMO, one of Sandra Bullock’s best roles. If you don’t already know, this movie in a nutshell is pretty much about identity theft, and how one person loses everything because of her computer. Part of this movie being scary, is how all or most of th…

Perfect Blue
Really Great 10 Points 1997

WOW! I’m usually not a fan of anime, but this was fantastic! This brilliantly crafted thriller follows Mima, a young pop star that has a great life ahead of her. When she decides to quit singing, she takes up acting, only to be followed by an insanely creepy obsessed stalker. The TV show she is o…

The Box
Really Great 10 Points 2009

It confuses me why The Box has such mixed reviews. Some say it’s good, while others say it’s bad. To me, Richard Kelly didn’t top Donnie Darko, but he definitely got me here. The Box has this indescribable creepy atmosphere, which is part of the reason I love this movie. Although it is based off …

Black Swan
Really Great 29 Points 2010

A fantastic movie starring Natalie Portman as the all-consumed ballerina Nina who lives with her equally consumed and obsessive mother Erica (Barbara Hershey). Nina is lined up for the top spot for her Ballet company, the Swan queen, but she doesn’t quite live up to the director Thomas’ (Vin…

Dangerous Liaisons
Really Great 67 Points 1988

Five big-names starring in “the best period film”1 make Steven Frears’ Dangerous Liaisons really great. Frears, he of The Queen, employs Michelle Pfeiffer, Glen Close, a nubile Uma Thurmond and a horny John Malkovich in bringing Christopher Hampton’s …

Infernal Affairs
Really Great 66 Points 2002

Infernal Affairs screams Hong Kong 2002. Movie theaters advertise Will Smith & Tommy Lee Jones back in black and Harrison Ford as Capt. Alexei Vostrikov. Within that milieu, Alan Mak & Wai-keung Lau’s blockbuster unspools a cop story of such depth, perfection and tension that Martin Scorsese …
