483,817 | 1,416,505 | 346,293 | 7 | Helps you understand how one man could gain so much support and power . | Hitler : The Rise of Evil can be seen as a documentary with actors . It is interesting and educative to watch but too compressed and political correct at times . This TV movie could have used so more guts . Robert Carlyle was impressive as Hitler , helped by some subtle make-up effects . It's too bad that the rest of... |
485,439 | 1,416,505 | 66,900 | 7 | Such a pleasant western ! | This is a rather little entertaining western to watch . It has all of the violence and shooting but still it's made in a sort of more light and fun way . Never thought I would ever see Leonard Nimoy in a western . He made some appearance in western's but mostly in series and TV-movies . I think this is his biggest west... |
484,110 | 1,416,505 | 101,603 | 7 | A bit of a less serious Columbo movie , with a great Rip Torn in it . | All Columbo movies had a certain amount of relieving comedy in it but this movie can really be seen as a true comedy . It's more comical than other Columbo entries and its made more as a real comedy . It perhaps makes this movie harder to take serious than other Columbo movie entries but it of course also makes it more... |
484,220 | 1,416,505 | 377,062 | 7 | Predictable fun . | This is one of those typical movies that is predictable in many ways and everything that occurs doesn't come as a real surprise . You know how this movie is going to end ( especially when you have already seen the original of course ) before you even start watching the movie . All of this however doesn't really matter ... |
484,467 | 1,416,505 | 21,182 | 7 | Simple short , that provides some good entertainment . | By no means this is the best short Laurel & Hardy film but it still one that offers some decent entertainment , which is thanks to the stupidity and clumsiness of the boys , especially Laurel's . The movie and its story are rather simple . It relies on simple one comical premise ; The boys trying to break in at the pol... |
484,440 | 1,416,505 | 66,932 | 7 | The one directed by Spielberg . | This is the Columbo that got directed by Steven Spielberg at an early point in his career . It's nothing sensational but some small hint of great things to come for Spielberg can be seen in this movie . The movie is basically in the same style as most of Spierlberg's ' 70's movies and TV works . So that means that some... |
485,244 | 1,416,505 | 66,933 | 7 | Good early Columbo murder mystery . | The Columbo movies are all great murder mysteries to watch . Difference with most other serials / movies is that in a Columbo movie you always get to see the killing right in the beginning , which also means that you already know who is the killer . So all the Columbo movies show is how Lieutenant Columbo solves the cr... |
484,532 | 1,416,505 | 66,934 | 7 | Columbo and the art world . | This is a great and enjoyable Columbo movie entry in the long running series of Columbo movies . It's slightly even better than the average Columbo movies . I liked the movie its style . Director Hy Averback ( Hy ? ) did a great job with it ! You can really tell by its that this is a ' 70's movie . Having a typical ' 7... |
485,383 | 1,416,505 | 316,396 | 7 | Bad storytelling but the style compensates for this . | Peter Pan is lacking on several levels , mainly due to the way the movie its story is told . Still this is a movie that is visually gorgeously looking and has some impressive special effects that all surpassed my expectations . Still " Peter Pan " remains a disappointing movie , mainly also because it has so many mis... |
484,823 | 1,416,505 | 17,405 | 7 | Slighty above average movie . | I don't really regarded this movie as a Laurel & Hardy comedy short . After all the first billed star of the movie is Priscilla Dean . Stan Laurel does have a big role in the movie as well but Oliver Hardy on the other hand plays a disappointingly small and not significant enough role in the movie . Fred Guiol never re... |
484,955 | 1,416,505 | 396,171 | 7 | Unique movie . Not the greatest but still a great watch . | The idea of the movie is interesting but also a dilemma . How to bring a movie about smell to the screen ? The movie does this well , by creating an unique atmosphere , that is visually focused on the smells in the movie , to help and tell the story and make it understandable . You can say what you want about this movi... |
484,600 | 1,416,505 | 101,516 | 7 | It's a good movie but a bit too clean and friendly as well . | Well this movie just ain't no " Goodfellas " , even though it was definitely inspired by it . It's a pretty good movie on its own right but it just remains a bit too much on the safe and clean side to really regard this as a true great and effective gangster-movie . For a gangster movie it's just a too friendly one . T... |
485,422 | 1,416,505 | 304,141 | 7 | Different but not necessarily better . | This third Harry Potter movie is different from the previous two movies . " Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban " is darker and much more mature but not better than its predecessors . Yet again there are several things wrong with this Harry Potter movie . The movie starts of too slow with a completely wrong pace d... |
484,283 | 1,416,505 | 110,308 | 7 | European movie-making Hollywood-style . | I think that this movie is more in European movie-making style than most of its other Hollywood movies from the same genre . It has a different way of storytelling , different more straight-forward characters and dialogs and of course sex and nudity . I think that director John Dahl feels more at ease with directing mo... |
485,120 | 1,416,505 | 82,398 | 7 | Yet another entertaining Moore Bond flick . | This movie is yet another example of how entertaining the Roger Moore Bond movies are . What a great fun Bond this movie is ! Yet again the movie is full with car chases , beautiful woman , underwater scene's and chases in the snow . In other words a Typical Bond flick . But that also is the only problem with this movi... |
484,045 | 1,416,505 | 376,994 | 7 | A nice and spectacular action flick . Nothing more , nothing less . | I expected the worst . No Bryan Singer , the previews didn't looked very good and the critics were not exactly raving about the movie . But really , the movie was not as bad as I expected it to be . On the contrary . The movie is a good looking and spectacular science-fiction / action that is perhaps lacking in the sam... |
485,218 | 1,416,505 | 101,556 | 7 | A more film-noir type of approach Columbo movie . | I sort of liked this Columbo movie its atmosphere , which was real thriller like and its approach even at times reminded me of film-noir , in the movie its first 30 minutes or so . It's really nice and done in a good old fashioned way , with the right camera angles and use of light . It doesn't mean instantly that this... |
485,058 | 1,416,505 | 125,664 | 7 | Entertaining , though shallow . | This is a perfectly good and entertaining movie to watch . However as a biopic the movie remains pretty shallow and we never fully get to understand the character , though that also would had been virtually impossible , considering who's the subject of the movie . Not really Milos Forman's fault that the movie remains ... |
485,527 | 1,416,505 | 70,909 | 7 | The Terminator's predecessor . | The combination between western and sci-fi can be called unique and it works surprising well . It is too bad that " Westworld " looks a bit too much outdated today to be considered a great movie . Still some of the special effects look acceptable even though they are typical seventies ( especially the computers , lot's... |
484,073 | 1,416,505 | 188,404 | 7 | Nostalgic value = 10 , quality = 5 . | Als je begrijpt wat ik bedoel is based on a very popular Dutch cartoon figure which whom whole generations grew up with . The movie knows to capture the comic book feeling on screen , which makes the nostalgic value of the movie very high . Even though the movie has a fun feeling the undertone is dramatic and emotion... |
483,914 | 1,416,505 | 116,908 | 7 | Nice action flick | The combination of humor and action is excellent ! The movie begins great and it's too bad that later on it becomes a macho style action movie with very unbelievable stunts and unlikely situations . Maybe with a different director it would have been a better movie and maybe then I would rank it higher on my favorite ac... |
484,917 | 1,416,505 | 21,054 | 7 | Pretty fun spoof of murder-mystery movies / plays . | As a spoof of murder-mystery movies and plays this movie is great fun . It has all the clichés from that genre in it and perfectly spoofs those clichés and characters in this movie . The movie has the usual suspects in it and a police inspector ( Fred Kelse ) who tries to solve the case . Yes , like I said before , it ... |
485,559 | 1,416,505 | 82,235 | 7 | A movie made effective by its approach . | What this movie does well is not showing too much . This could had easily turned into a cheesy monster-flick , in which you see a guy dressed up as a scarecrow killing people . The scarecrow actually isn't shown until the very end it is being implied often in the movie that the killer is not a ghostly scarecrow rising ... |
485,511 | 1,416,505 | 94,737 | 7 | Movie made interesting by Hanks . | The success of the movie is mainly thanks to Tom Hanks performance that awarded him his first Oscar nomination . The story and the movie itself are pretty simple and a bit corny at times but who really cares ? It is a family movie and doesn't need any complexity . The only thing that troubled me about the story was tha... |
484,950 | 1,416,505 | 59,540 | 7 | Quite a standard movie and story but brought well to the screen by cast & crew . | Lets face it . The ' film-noir ' period was already over its peak and as good as death already in 1965 , when this movie was released . This movie is a late attempt to revive the film-noir genre , with some big names involved . They partly succeeded . The movie works quite well as a crime / thriller movie but it lacks ... |
485,326 | 1,416,505 | 101,393 | 7 | Too bad about the story . | The movie is filled with beautiful images and moments , too bad that the story is far from interesting . " Backdraft " possibly has the best scene's with fire in it ever . The scene's with fire are truly beautiful mainly because the fire is treated as a living breathing thing with a will of it's own . Fire is actually ... |
484,735 | 1,416,505 | 381,192 | 7 | A fun adventurous movie ! | To me this movie was a nice little surprise , I enjoyed it a lot more than I expected . The movie is fun and adventurous and surpassed my expectations on several fronts . The movie is cleverly written by Gerard Soeteman who manages to put in some good jokes and funny witty dialog . Soeteman also was responsible for wri... |
485,526 | 1,416,505 | 24,894 | 7 | Lugosi + Karloff = Fireworks ! | I can't imaging how this movie would have been without both Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff , probably very very bad . The chemistry between the two is amazing . This is one of those movies in which the story absolutely doesn't matter . The story is totally absurd and very simple ( The black cat storyline has absolutely ... |
485,331 | 1,416,505 | 66,995 | 7 | Worthy last Bond for Connery . | And then I'm not counting " Never Say Never Again " as a Bond of course since it's not an official part of the series . Yet there is another entertaining and typical Bond story with again Ernst Stavro Blofeld ( Charles Gray ) Bond's arch-nemesis as the main villain . The movie uses all the typical Bond ingredients but ... |
483,811 | 1,416,505 | 70,791 | 7 | Great horror fun with Vincent Price . | Mix horror with some typical British humor and the result is " Theatre of Blood " . And a quite successful mix it is ! times the combination of horror and comedy doesn't work . For " Theatre of Blood " it works perfectly ! The movie at times is pretty gruesome and graphic but still the movie is light to watch because o... |
485,531 | 1,416,505 | 162,661 | 7 | An unusual detective story . | What I expected was an horror movie , what I got was a mystery movie . It was a pleasant surprise ! " Sleepy Hollow " is stylish , dark and it has a typical atmosphere , in other words it's a typical Tim Burton movie . But having seen almost every Tim Burton movie I have to come to the conclusion that this one isn't hi... |
485,449 | 1,416,505 | 173,840 | 7 | In its core , it's a pretty awesome movie ! | The movie is really good looking but also surprising to see how much the techniques have outdated already . I remember when the movie came out how impressive and revolutionary it all looked . People were actually worried that soon real actors would be replaced by computer animated characters and the way of film-making ... |
485,249 | 1,416,505 | 99,108 | 7 | Way more professional than the first . | The first " Basket Case " movie looked like it was made on a shoe-string budget . It also featured some horrible acting and directing . But director Frank Henenlotter obviously had learned since and gained more experience . The movie is more consistent this time , also in its pace . There was obviously some more money ... |
484,599 | 1,416,505 | 28,212 | 7 | Good enough ' 30's Hitchcock thriller . | Alfred Hitchcock always had obviously been inspired by the early 1920's Russian way of film-making , especially Sergei Eisenstein's work . This perhaps best shows in this movie , in its style of editing , camera-positioning and crowed sequences . This perhaps makes this movie a bit more outdated than others but it show... |
485,022 | 1,416,505 | 59,319 | 7 | Interesting different take on the spy-genre . | At the time of this movie , James Bond of course absolutely dominated the spy-genre . This movie tries to be different , by not using too much action or a true evil mastermind villain that tries to take over or destroy the world . It chooses a more realistic approach , which seems all the more silly when considering th... |
484,034 | 1,416,505 | 480,249 | 7 | Good but it's missing something . | This is simply a good quality movie to watch but it nevertheless leaves you hungry for more , since the movie its potential and concept screamed for a better and more exciting execution . After all , this movie is about the last man living in New York City , battling a whole bunch of mutant zombie , while trying to fin... |
484,152 | 1,416,505 | 120,520 | 7 | Not entirely my cup of tea but it simply is a good , well made movie . | I'll confess that this is not entirely my favorite genre . I like some British costume drama's , as long as they have some quirkiness added to it , such as for instance is the case in such movies as " Barry Lyndon " , " The Draughtsman's Contract " and " Dangerous Liaisons " . This movie is more in the style and mind o... |
483,856 | 1,416,505 | 15,324 | 7 | Not Keaton's best but very creative ! | As much as everybody seems to love this movie , I just don't count this among Keaton's best . It's a very creative movie but I feel that it also could had been made more fun . Nevertheless , Buster Keaton movies from the ' 20's of course always remain a must-see . Keaton was unique in its sort , not only was he a great... |
485,042 | 1,416,505 | 50,631 | 7 | Original storytelling and fun characters make this is a good late MGM musical . | This is an enjoyable and good late MGM musical . This is a good genre movie , from genre specialist George Cukor , with all of the typical and formulaic elements present in it . It's cheerful looking and slightly over-the-top , like it should be . The story is of course once more about love and the musical business . T... |
483,852 | 1,416,505 | 340,228 | 7 | Good fun for young children ! | This is a movie that's obviously aimed toward younger kids , who are no older than about 10 . It reaches its target well , by having a likable and enjoyable simple story , suitable characters and some nice songs . You can easily tell that this movie is meant for young kids also because of its animations . It uses simpl... |
484,414 | 1,416,505 | 54,469 | 7 | Begins as a typical teenage comedy but soon starts to become more than that . | To be honest , the movie began as a typical - and not so great , teenage comedy flick , in which a couple of youngsters are going on a spring break holiday . " Where the Boys Are " however handles delicate themes delicately and the movie is way more than just another teenage comedy . Actually quite amazing considering ... |
484,340 | 1,416,505 | 138,749 | 7 | Wonderful adventure movie ! | The Road to El Dorado is a wonderful adventure movie with great music and tons of humor that are good for more then a few laughs . But it has some flaws . . . The movie starts of extremely well in a good fast pace and with some nice comical moments . But later on the movie loses some of it's pace and the story takes ... |
484,557 | 1,416,505 | 19,556 | 7 | Standard and predictable but once more wonderfully executed ! | Once more the famous two get in some serious trouble with their wives , after a series of unfortunate incidents , which forces them to come up with a lie , which of course only make their situation even worser . . . The jokes remain funny , even after they are repeated multiple times in the movie . The events leading u... |
484,866 | 1,416,505 | 54,443 | 7 | Brilliant story but pretty weird execution of it . | The story of the movie is highly original and quite brilliant however the execution of the story by German director Wolf Rilla ( who apparently now runs his own restaurant in Southern France ) is not something I'm happy about . The movie's pace doesn't always flow really well and is incoherent . We jump from one scene ... |
484,003 | 1,416,505 | 93,260 | 7 | Simply very good entertainment . | This movie offers perfect entertainment . The main characters and the performances by the actors are very good and comical . The movie is filled with some crazy ' not-so-everyday ' characters and the villains are deliciously stereotyped and highly entertaining and there are some simply hilarious moments throughout the ... |
484,437 | 1,416,505 | 45,573 | 7 | Fine little black & white western from the ' 50's . | This movie really ain't anything too spectacular but it's a pleasant enough western to watch . It's a pleasantly slow going movie ( which western isn't ? ) and takes it time to set up things and characters . Granted that it doesn't have the most interesting story or main character but it's all good enough to maintain y... |
485,486 | 1,416,505 | 106,770 | 7 | Good as a movie , not really as a biography . | The story told in the movie is really excellent and entertaining . However it feels more like a story based on the life of Bruce Lee rather then an actual biopic of his life . Jason Scott Lee perfectly plays Kung Fu legend Bruce Lee . Not only the way he plays Lee is impressive but also his fighting skills . The music ... |
484,043 | 1,416,505 | 23,858 | 7 | At the woodshop with Laurel & Hardy . | Maybe not as hilarious as the current rating on here would suggest but this movie is pretty hilarious . This movie is what Laurel & Hardy is all about . A simple premise , a single setting and plenty of room for the boys alone to show their slapstick - and silly antics . Of course the movie and everything that happens ... |
485,225 | 1,416,505 | 433,400 | 7 | Just enjoyable . | This is simply one fine and effective little comedy that is nothing too brilliant or hilarious but is simply a movie that constantly entertains and will surely make you laugh more than once . The movie is mostly being made enjoyable by its characters . It has some greatly fun characters in it , who of course are over-t... |
484,131 | 1,416,505 | 99,141 | 7 | What's with the hate ? this is good fun entertainment . | Yeah OK well the cover-art is horrible but the movie itself is actually quite pleasant and entertaining to watch . Sure it's no " Lethal Weapon " but it sure is a good action comedy that entertains well . The movie doesn't really have much story and even the little story elements that are present in the movie are far f... |
484,171 | 1,416,505 | 19,504 | 7 | Bad first part , hilarious second . | I didn't really cared much for the first part of the movie but the second part was absolutely hilarious . The second part of the movie in which a small war gets unleashed between several different car drivers who are in a traffic jam is absolutely comedy gold . Almost every car ends up broken or entirely destroyed . Th... |
485,023 | 1,416,505 | 407,304 | 7 | Could have been a real classic but is an above average alien-invasion movie instead . | This movie had huge potential . Everything to make this a science-fiction classic masterpiece were present ; Spielberg's directing , a great concept , ILM special effects , Tom Cruise as the main character and lots of other professionals involved both in front and behind the cameras . Then where did it go wrong ? The a... |
484,303 | 1,416,505 | 93,300 | 7 | Honestly , the second best of the " Jaws " series . | This movie doesn't receive much love but I think it really deserves some . It's understandable why this movie is regarded as a bad one . It's the third establishment in a series of unneeded " Jaws " sequels . Both 2 and 3 were disappointing movies , especially compared to the first of course so how could the third sequ... |
483,930 | 1,416,505 | 116,629 | 7 | A science fiction spectacle ! | Independence Day is a good old fashioned science fiction spectacle with lot's of stuff blowing up and dying people . This movie is pure entertainment . Don't watch this movie expecting a serious story with any logic in it . The movie filled with dumb dialogue , needless many characters and patriotism . But quite fran... |
485,243 | 1,416,505 | 24,034 | 7 | Just not my idea of a great movie . | I have seen quite some musical movies in my life but this just wasn't among the best or most intriguing ones to me . Not that it's bad but after hearing so many positive things about this movie it's still disappointing . The movie has an annoying and typical fast going musical story , that features all of the stereotyp... |
485,535 | 1,416,505 | 41,956 | 7 | A perfect treat if you're into these sort of movies . | This is yet another MGM musical with a standard and predictable love-story that has all the familiar ingredients in it . It's one of those typical movies of which you already know how its going to end . From start till finish , nothing refreshing or unpredictable ever happens to be honest . However of course these sort... |
485,184 | 1,416,505 | 24,054 | 7 | Solid early thriller with a great concept and story . | This is a truly solid early British thriller attempt . It might not be as good as the German and American work from the same period but overall it's a solid , original and interesting enough movie . The concept and overall story of the movie are great - and original thriller material . The movie is however really short... |
485,381 | 1,416,505 | 28,333 | 7 | You can't really go wrong with Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers . | Typically one of those movies that make you think ' too bad they don't make them like this anymore ' . It's a delightful , happy , cheerful movie with a simplistic story , adorable characters and some good dancing routines . I like these type of musical movies better than the sort of musical movies from the MGM studios... |
484,805 | 1,416,505 | 75,865 | 7 | The always hungry Lt . Columbo . | This is a rather fine and enjoyable movie , set in the culinary world . Columbo is also happy with it , since he can't seem to get enough of all the great food . There are only a few directors that made it big time after they had directed a Columbo movies . Most of them stayed in the TV directing business , while other... |
484,404 | 1,416,505 | 19,702 | 7 | The first Hitchcock talkie is a memorable one for different reasons entirely . | I have the feeling people call this movie a great one just because it's made by Hitchcock . But truth being told , the movie really isn't among the greatest in its genre . Even the master himself obviously still had some learning to do . No disgrace , since this is the first ' talkie ' from the master of suspense . Wel... |
485,547 | 1,416,505 | 106,977 | 7 | Well made movie . | This movie had been made with lots of profession both in front and behind the camera . The directing is subtle and nice and the performances by the actors are excellent . Really the best thing about " The Fugitive " is the acting , in particular Tommy Lee Jones . Basically his performance alone is what makes the movie ... |
483,948 | 1,416,505 | 246,578 | 7 | Original but difficult movie . | Donnie Darko is a movie that remains difficult to understand . Everybody has his own interpretation of the ending and the story in general . That is a good thing . Everyone looks at this movie differently in his own way , which makes " Donnie Darko " an unique movie . It's a good first long featured movie for directo... |
484,945 | 1,416,505 | 19,688 | 7 | Laurel & Hardy vs . James Finlayson . | The premise of this movie is very good . Laurel & Hardy are trying to sell Christmas trees in sunny California . Of course nobody wants to buy any . One of their costumers is being played by James Finlayson , with who they get into a serious brawl . Basically the movie only has one big joke ; The two boys totally wreck... |
483,798 | 1,416,505 | 19,607 | 7 | Amusing Laurel & Hardy silent short . | Although I certainly don't consider this movie to be Laurel & Hardy's best , it still is of course a very amusing short , that features plenty of good slapstick moments . The movie is a bit dragging at times with its gags but overall the movie has plenty of moments in that will surely make you laugh . Especially the en... |
484,801 | 1,416,505 | 120,338 | 7 | Good , but overrated . | I saw the movie for the first time when it arrived on video , needless to say that I had very high expectations for this movie because I heard a lot about it . I watched the movie and I remembered my first reaction when I finished watching it , my reaction was : " This is it ? " Don't get me wrong , it's not a bad movi... |
485,072 | 1,416,505 | 215,750 | 7 | Yet another fine movie ruined by a love story . | Enemy at the Gates really looked like a promising movie when it came out in 2001 . The end result didn't disappointed me but it's still a shame when you think about it how much better the movie could had been . Loose the love story for starters ! A love story on the background of a heavy historical battle simply is o... |
484,824 | 1,416,505 | 75,784 | 7 | For most part an overdone , star-filled , shallow WW II production . | The story set around and about ' Operation Market Garden ' itself , seems like good enough material to make a good movie with . It however is a very complex thing when one tries to tell the story of ' Operation Market Garden ' from every view point possible ; Americans , the Polish , the Britts , Germans , the Dutch . ... |
484,357 | 1,416,505 | 37,099 | 7 | Definitely a step up again from the previous mummy movie entry . | This is a definitely better movie than the previous Unviversal movie entry " The Mummy's Tomb " , from 2 years earlier . The story and characters are better again this time . Although this doesn't mean that the actual story is really that much special but at least they definitely put some effort in it . It's of course ... |
483,799 | 1,416,505 | 63,056 | 7 | Good idea , good execution . | This is a rather good little movie , that features only two characters , hardly any dialog and a simple but yet effective concept of an American and a Japanese soldier during WW II , who are both marooned on a small uninhabited island in the Pacific Ocean .
