| American Honey | 2016 | 100 | 1 | (full review) | | Chasing Amy | 1997 | 100 | 1 | (full review) | | City Of God (Cidade de Deus) | 2002 | 100 | 1 | (full review) | | Hurt Locker, The | 2008 | 100 | 1 | (full review) | | 28 Days Later | 2002 | 95 | 5 | (full review) - Maybe, just maybe, I’m in the minority with this one but 28 Days Later is one of my favorite horror films of all-time. The world that Boyle paints is as devastating and frightening as it gets; the characters are more well-rounded and developed than the script actually gives them credit for; the scares and chills get to you by the utter feel of realism that shoots-out in every frame of this picture; and the message about who we are as humans and what we’ll do to live-on in life is as heartbreaking and brutally honest as it can get. Definitely go out there and see it, not just to be scared, but also to be a bit enlightened as well. | | All About My Mother | 1999 | 95 | 5 | (full review) | | Brick | 2005 | 95 | 5 | (full review) | | In Bruges | 2008 | 95 | 5 | (full review) | | Memento | 2000 | 95 | 5 | (full review) | | Oldboy (Oldeuboi - Korea) | 2003 | 95 | 5 | (full review) - Oldboy is an astonishing, full of originality, and well-acted, that goes past its revenge violent ways and delves into more deeper material about life and grace. | | Wrestler, The | 2008 | 95 | 5 | (full review) | | An Education | 2009 | 90 | 12 | (full review) | | Blair Witch Project, The | 1999 | 90 | 12 | (full review) - It may not be a true story, like the film suggests, but the scares here work because you see nothing, there is no big-budget special effects, and its all about feeling and atmosphere, which makes it all feel so realistic, and equally as terrifying. | | Blue Is the Warmest Color | 2013 | 90 | 12 | (full review) | | Boogie Nights | 1997 | 90 | 12 | (full review) - Though it never goes deep enough, Boogie Nights is a great ride from PT Anderson, complete with a pitch-perfect cast, inspired script and direction, and just the overall feel of your actually there. | | Boyhood | 2014 | 90 | 12 | (full review) | | Carol | 2015 | 90 | 12 | (full review) | | Manchester by the Sea | 2016 | 90 | 12 | (full review) | | Moonlight | 2016 | 90 | 12 | (full review) | | Room | 2015 | 90 | 12 | (full review) | | Rushmore | 1998 | 90 | 12 | (full review) | | Y tu mama tambien | 2001 | 90 | 12 | (full review) | | A Prophet | 2009 | 85 | 23 | (full review) | | Amour | 2012 | 85 | 23 | (full review) | | Animal Kingdom | 2010 | 85 | 23 | (full review) | | Beasts of the Southern Wild | 2012 | 85 | 23 | (full review) | | Chuck & Buck | 2000 | 85 | 23 | (full review) | | Ex Machina | 2015 | 85 | 23 | (full review) | | Force Majeure | 2014 | 85 | 23 | (full review) | | Frances Ha | 2013 | 85 | 23 | (full review) | | Fruitvale Station | 2013 | 85 | 23 | (full review) | | Ghost World | 2001 | 85 | 23 | (full review) | | Happiness | 1998 | 85 | 23 | (full review) | | Hunt, The (2013) | 2013 | 85 | 23 | (full review) | | Lives Of Others, The | 2006 | 85 | 23 | (full review) | | Moon | 2009 | 85 | 23 | (full review) | | Once | 2006 | 85 | 23 | (full review) | | Senna | 2011 | 85 | 23 | (full review) | | Shame | 2011 | 85 | 23 | (full review) | | Volver | 2006 | 85 | 23 | (full review) | | We Need to Talk About Kevin | 2011 | 85 | 23 | (full review) | | 45 Years | 2015 | 80 | 42 | (full review) | | Blue Ruin | 2014 | 80 | 42 | (full review) | | Crash | 2004 | 80 | 42 | (full review) | | Gods and Monsters | 1998 | 80 | 42 | (full review) | | Kings Speech, The | 2010 | 80 | 42 | (full review) | | Last King of Scotland, The | 2006 | 80 | 42 | (full review) | | Mr. Turner | 2014 | 80 | 42 | (full review) | | Nowhere Boy | 2009 | 80 | 42 | (full review) | | Pieces Of April | 2003 | 80 | 42 | (full review) | | Pride | 2014 | 80 | 42 | (full review) | | Searching For Sugar Man | 2012 | 80 | 42 | (full review) | | The Babadook | 2014 | 80 | 42 | (full review) | | Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy | 2011 | 80 | 42 | (full review) | | Toni Erdmann | 2016 | 80 | 42 | (full review) | | Amores Perros | 2000 | 75 | 56 | (full review) | | Hunt for the Wilderpeople | 2016 | 75 | 56 | (full review) | | Winters Bone | 2010 | 75 | 56 | (full review) | | Black Book | 2006 | 70 | 59 | (full review) | | Blue Jasmine | 2013 | 70 | 59 | (full review) | | Calvary | 2014 | 70 | 59 | (full review) | | Drive | 2011 | 70 | 59 | (full review) - Drive has moments where it absolutely works with it’s stylish direction from Nicolas Winding Refn, great performances from the cast, especially Gosling, and some bloody and thrilling flashes of violence, but too much of it feels slow and features conversations that are more boring than one you would have with a wall. | | Eastern Promises | 2007 | 70 | 59 | (full review) | | Never Let Me Go | 2010 | 70 | 59 | (full review) - If you are in happy mood and want to keep that going, then don’t check out Never Let Me Go, because it is sad, empty (in many ways), and doesn’t have any real moments of shining suns in the sky, but it is also beautiful to look at, a very moody piece that can really put you into its setting, and features a fine young cast that does a great job with all that their given. | | Nurse Betty | 2000 | 70 | 59 | (full review) | | Rust and Bone | 2012 | 70 | 59 | (full review) | | Skin I Live In, The (La piel que habito) | 2011 | 70 | 59 | (full review) | | The Imitation Game | 2014 | 70 | 59 | (full review) | | Dogtooth (Kynodontas) | 2009 | 65 | 69 | (full review) | | I Am Love | 2009 | 65 | 69 | (full review) | | Macbeth | 2015 | 65 | 69 | (full review) | | Monsters | 2010 | 65 | 69 | (full review) | | Secret in Their Eyes | 2015 | 65 | 69 | (full review) | | Sexy Beast | 2000 | 65 | 69 | (full review) | | Boiler Room | 2000 | 60 | 75 | (full review) | | Sightseers | 2012 | 60 | 75 | (full review) | | Whale Rider | 2003 | 55 | 77 | (full review) | | Philomena | 2013 | 50 | 78 | (full review) | | Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, The | 2011 | 30 | 79 | (full review) |
