| 12 Angry Men (original) | 1957 | 90 | 1 | - Fantastic film, one of the best of Spencer Tracy. | | A Clockwork Orange | 1971 | 85 | 2 | - I think it's an excellent display of violence and the themes of youthful rebellion gone too far and how some people can't truly be "cured" of their ill will and government fuckery, but, with all of Kubrick's works, there are parts that, while beautiful (even in a grotesque form), are sometimes boring as sin. | | Blade Runner | 1982 | 85 | 2 | - The theatrical cut is awful for various reasons, but the Director's Cut and the recent Final Cut are phenomenal. It's a bit slow at times, I'll admit, but it's a sci-fi film noir and should be treated as such. Film noir isn't a style known for a brisk pace. | | Raiders of the Lost Ark | 1981 | 85 | 2 | | | Star Wars IV: A New Hope | 1977 | 85 | 2 | | | Forrest Gump | 1994 | 80 | 6 | - The movie tugs too hard on the heartstrings too often for my liking, making repeat viewings less effective in the experience. The roles were cast perfectly, though, and it's hard to find a legitimately bad Steven Spielberg movie. Including the titular character in several of the key moments of the 20th century was great, even if it did pander to the Baby-Boomer Generation that, ultimately, fucked it all away. | | Sixth Sense, The | 1999 | 75 | 7 | | | Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring | 2001 | 60 | 8 | |
