Review |
| Ghostbusters | 1984 | 100 | 1 | - Hands-down, my favorite movie ever. |
| American Psycho | 2000 | 90 | 2 | - This movie made me fall in love with the written works of Bret Easton Ellis |
| Fight Club | 1999 | 85 | 3 | - The movie gets a lot of flack nowadays due to the massive cult fanbase that arose around it, mostly with people pointing out that its message of anti-consumerism is shallow, but I feel they completely miss the point. Fincher's adaptation of the book is ABOUT being shallow and lacking depth leading to the mass consumerism and quick rejection of it after one random stranger (in this case, a man with legitimate mental issues) tells you otherwise. Look at it from the perspective of how simple it is for angry people to be fooled into madness and the movie works even better than it did prior. |
| Trainspotting | 1996 | 85 | 3 | |
| Scream | 1996 | 80 | 5 | - I cannot think of a better satire of slasher movies that didn't go into the realm of over-the-top comedy. The performances were solid enough for the movie and some of the wordplay and kills was inventive as hell. I also think that the second one being slightly worse than the first and the third being awful with the "reboot" sequel almost being on par with the original works in such a perfect way that is described in the series itself. |
| Kick-Ass | 2010 | 75 | 6 | - I saw the movie, loved it, and then read the comics, and certain changes to the story (like how Kick-Ass doesn't come up with his own name in the comic but does in the movie, how Red Mist isn't revealed to be a villain upon his first appearance, or how comic book Kick-Ass refuses to kill but movie Kick-Ass has no problem with it by the end) hurt the movie for me. Others greatly enhance it (changing Big Daddy and Hit Girl's backstory a little bit from what it's revealed to be in the comics, showing various missions that Big Daddy/Hit Girl go on, the modifications to the Big Daddy/Hit Girl costumes in general). |
| Ghostbusters II | 1989 | 65 | 7 | - Nowhere near as great as the first one, largely due to an uninspired cast (well, everybody but Dan Aykroyd seems to just be doing it for the paycheck), but still a very, very solid movie. The jokes aren't as good and the threat isn't as big, but Vigo the Carpathian is still one of my favorite movie villains to date. |
| Super | 2010 | 55 | 8 | - James Gunn's worst movie. |
| Kick-Ass 2 | 2013 | 50 | 9 | |
| Kung Fu Hustle | 2004 | 40 | 10 | |
