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…

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…

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.

Mean Creek
Perfect 5 Points 2004

The ability to evoke a profound emotional response is a cinematic ability too often overlooked in a day and age when superficial summer blockbusters get overrated to the nth degree. “Mean Creek,” the superb breakout film of Jacob Aaron Estes, is an independent gem whose ability to tug at the hear…

Perfect 72 Points 2008

Slumdog Millionaire couldn’t be more of the moment if it was named President-elect Barack Obama: a Mumbai movie that delivers world class entertainment about a Muslim media sensation. The three kids at its center aren’t religious or radical, though their profound victimization makes it easy to…

The Illusionist
Perfect 10 Points 2010

This brilliant animated French movie shows the life of a struggling illusionist, and a girl who believes the man is truly magic. They way the film uses hand drawn animation, along with minimal dialogue really does make it magical. The true depth within these two characters is amazing, and the fac…

Fight Club
Perfect 107 Points 1999

Let’s talk about Fight Club. A contemporary classic, David Fincher’s surreal masterpiece makes killer use of several cinematic power tools: sophisticated CGI and film processing, faux sophisticated alienation, throbbing music, Brad Pitt. You gotta give this nihilistic triumph grudging credit….

Forrest Gump
Perfect 99 Points 1994

America. My theory is that Forrest Gump serves as personification of the early baby boomers, i.e. of the America of that era. Naive, idealistic, rambunctious, Forrest’s life functions as allegory for the cultural journey of the generation that came of age during the 60s.

Whether you buy that…
