Title Year Rating Rank Review
Almost Famous2000991 - Just a brilliantly-executed movie. It's so grand in scope and yet pencils in every character with unbelievable detail.
Godfather, The1972962 - An incredible crime saga told with so much detail and conviction, you question just how fictional it really is.
Star Wars V: Empire Strikes Back1980943 - The battle of Hoth is probably my favorite part of any Star Wars movie. This would be the best of them had there been a stronger ending.
Gladiator2000904 - It's an action flick, it's an epic. It's one very awesome movie.
Little Miss Sunshine2006895 - It's an oddball, dark, and indiecomedy all rolled into a strangely heartwarming package.
Airplane!1980876 - When it flies, it soars.
Shining, The1980876 - It's a mind-melting horror show, and might've been darn near perfect had it been about 30 minutes shorter.
Skyfall2012868 - For such a landmark film, plot-wise, in the James Bond series, Skyfall is a little lacking in the traditional things we've come to love about James Bond. It's a dark time for 007, a theme that will play to mixed results with the audience.
Sandlot1993849 - Set in the '50's, it's hard to call 'The Sandlot' a tale of nostalgia. Then again, as the movie so eloquently points out, some things just never change.
AVENGERS, The20128010 - Your typical superhero blockbuster. The movie juggles such a large cast somewhat cumbersomely and resorts to cheeky humor when it doesn't know what else to do.
Ferris Beuller's Day Off19868010 - A step or two behind other "instant classics", it successfully captures every teenagers dream of having a day devoid of the monotony of high school work.
Pulp Fiction19948010 - An instant cult classic, but be warned: it's trendier to pretend to like this movie than it is to actually like it.
Star Wars IV: A New Hope19778010 - It initially had to set up the story for three movies, which explains the long, somewhat slow beginning. The end is the stuff of film legend, though.
Chronicle20127914(full review) - Holds it own even in the ubiquitous 'Found Film' genre. A film that sort of came out of nowhere that is definitely worth your time.
Thing, The19827715 - Scarier than the alien that wants so desperately to become them is everyone's willingness to submit authority to a boozing helicopter pilot when things go awry.
Clerks19947416 - A filmmaker's film. Movie snobs and hipsters will swear by it the most.
Fargo19967017 - The Coen brothers' 'Fargo' is an enigma: not funny enough to be a real comedy, not serious enough to be a decent drama, and nowhere close to neatly fitting into any other genre.
Amazing Spider-Man, The20126718 - Why, WHY was this made? Was the superhero genre not saturated enough let alone Spiderman as a franchise itself?
10 Things I Hate About You19996519 - A rather watchable chick flick.
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl20036320 - Make no mistake: this is really more of a kids movie. Not that it was intended that way, but its over-the-top acting and simpleton plot makes it so.
Varsity Blues19995721 - The direction and production value is decidedly second-string, but that doesn't mean you can't have some fun with 'Varsity Blues' in its own naive, immature way.
Slumdog Millionaire20085522 - Boyle's high-adrenaline, psychedellic vision for the film gets in the way of what would have otherwise been a fairly impressive script.
Serenity20055023 - Joss Whedon's initial transition from television to film is tacky, unpolished, and rife with poor acting. Ironically, it comes across as a TV movie.
