484,160 | 1,416,505 | 83,944 | 8 | One of the simplest and also one of the best . | In its core this is really one simple straight-forward action flick . It's part of the reason why this movie is just so great and a true genre classic but also when you look past the surface , you'll see that this movie has so much more to offer . The story in its main core is real simple ; An Vietnam vet who is being ... |
484,304 | 1,416,505 | 91,530 | 8 | A feast for eyes and ears but flawed in its emotions . | The Mission is without doubt a beautiful movie . The visual are absolutely stunning . Most credit for that has to go to Mother Nature . The music by Ennio Morricone is a real threat , it might very well be his best work till date in my opinion . However the movie is more style than substance . The movie is lacking th... |
485,056 | 1,416,505 | 34,946 | 8 | Typical - but great , American , coming of age movie . | In the ' 40's these coming of age movies were pretty popular in America . Some good though always sappy movies were made in that time period . " Kings Row " is definitely one of the more better and memorable one's . It's a story of growing up in a small American town , around and before 1900 . The movie features lots o... |
484,301 | 1,416,505 | 285,742 | 8 | Great ' little ' drama . | Monster's Ball is a wonderful drama , made without any big budget or tricks . It's a movie with a heart and soul . In other words film-making at its very best . To me it's a movie that is all about second chances in life . The two main characters , played by Billy Bob Thornton and Halle Berry , both went to some drea... |
485,074 | 1,416,505 | 126,029 | 8 | Good quality entertainment . | I'm not one of those persons who praises " Shrek " all the time as one of the greatest movies ever made , like many other persons seem to do . Quite frankly I never really understood what the hype was all about . But still you have to give credit to this movie , it's very entertaining and fun to watch over and over aga... |
484,200 | 1,416,505 | 35,015 | 8 | Typical ' 40's drama done Welles style . | This movie is very typical for the ' 40's . It's an epic family drama , in which a lot of drama is happening . Best example of this genre is perhaps " Gone With the Wind " . Well OK , bad example perhaps since that movie is from 1939 and not the ' 40's but when you say " Gone With the Wind " everyone knows the type of ... |
485,309 | 1,416,505 | 21,646 | 8 | Not the funniest but one of the best written Laurel & Hardy comedy shorts . | Can you even call this a comedy short ? The movie is nearly 40 minutes long and it actually features a plot line . Anyway , short or long feature , this movie is a well written and directing one which makes this movie a very enjoyable and comical great movie . After once again being letdown in love , Oliver Hardy signs... |
484,727 | 1,416,505 | 70,297 | 8 | Perhaps the most awesome vampire movie ever made . | Guess this movie is a case of ; you'll either love it or hate it . A vampire movie set in China , combined with Kung Fu elements might definitely not be just everyone's cup of tea . It's an highly unusual mixture of different genre elements , with as a result an highly unusual and original Hammer movie . I just love ho... |
485,079 | 1,416,505 | 56,823 | 8 | Finally after 40 years receiving the recognition it deserves . | Before 2002 this movie was very rarely shown . Producer Alfred Heineken ( better known as Freddie Heineken , yes indeed THE big man behind the famous Dutch beer brewery ) had forbidden all public showings of this movie , with the exception of a few cinematic showings and one appearance on Dutch television . Reason for ... |
484,648 | 1,416,505 | 21,571 | 8 | The coming of collective farming and new way of life , | The movie is not as good and effective with its shots as a Sergei Eisenstein movie for instance . You can see in parts that this movie was really influenced by Eisenstein's earlier work , also in the way of camera-work and editing . But nevertheless the movie has some obvious other qualities of its own that make this a... |
484,856 | 1,416,505 | 439 | 8 | Historical important and influential movie . | This movie is one of the first narrative shot movie , with scenes that all add up to each other and are used to tell a story with in a linear way . Quite unique for early 1900's standards . Back in that time period , only short sequences were always shot , mostly documentary style . It was never really used as a tool t... |
485,136 | 1,416,505 | 30,287 | 8 | A typical fine William Wyler period drama . | This was not a movie that I particularly liked watching ( perhaps it's just not my favorite genre ) but it simply was one fine made movie , that is effective in basically everything it tries to achieve . There is no denying it that this is a great movie . It features a strong dramatic story , in which Bette Davis plays... |
484,420 | 1,416,505 | 180,073 | 8 | A case of the quill being mightier than the sword . | The movie features a great and original story of a writer , who happens to be an insane asylum inmate , during the Napoleonic era who through his writing knows to manipulate and control everyone around him , of all levels of society . His stories are daringly sexual orientated ( for its time of course ) and is attracti... |
484,059 | 1,416,505 | 21,542 | 8 | All madness , no story . | This is a movie that actually doesn't really have a main plot-line in terms of following one main character and have a clear beginning , middle part and end . Just like war there is no logic in it and things just happen within this movie as the movie moves along . It puts you right in the middle of things and shows you... |
484,542 | 1,416,505 | 206,314 | 8 | Surprisingly good and tense movie . | What good could you expect from a movie with an ' hip ' title such as " Joy Ride " , with a couple of pretty youngster in it . Well , " Joy Ride " surprises on almost every front and it's not like most other modern horror / thrillers , in which youngster play the main role . The genre that is being very popular this de... |
484,108 | 1,416,505 | 34,890 | 8 | Romance , drama and then some more drama . | Thing with these ' 40's dramatic movies is that they are always so melodramatic . The drama in these type of movies just never seem to seize to end and it often takes some very epic proportions . It at the same time always makes these movies incredibly powerful to watch , when done correctly . " In This Our Life " is s... |
485,497 | 1,416,505 | 285,930 | 8 | Impressive . | The fifth " The Hire " movie is an impressive little short . It's impressive because of the story , that is helped by its gritty atmosphere . The atmosphere is wonderful and typically Mexican style like . It really reminded me of " Man on Fire " . It's gritty and sets the perfect mood for the story . The great cinemato... |
485,349 | 1,416,505 | 252,866 | 8 | More of the same and that's not a bad thing . | I liked the first American Pie movie beyond expectations , so I of course was very interested in watching part 2 as well . It's like most sequels ; it's more of the same old stuff that was already shown in the first movie . In this case that isn't really a complaint because it's good stuff to watch . It's perfectly ent... |
483,889 | 1,416,505 | 108,598 | 8 | Wallace & Gromit and the penguin from hell . | Wallace & Gromit really face a dark and sinister villain this time ; a penguin . The penguin never speaks and he hardly does anything but it's this same subtlety that makes him such an evil sinister - and therefore at the same time also hilarious and amusing villain . I don't know what it is about penguins but they alw... |
484,354 | 1,416,505 | 387,055 | 8 | Shows that Mexicans have a monopoly on good film-making . | Lately , lots of successful and good Mexican director are emerging . Just think about Guillermo del Toro , Alejandro González Iñárritu , Alfonso Cuarón . Mexican cinema is hotter than ever . Carlos Reygadas is not as well known as those previous mentioned Mexican directors but that all has got to do with the fact that ... |
484,226 | 1,416,505 | 30,127 | 8 | A warm movie . | This is a movie with a very warm and pleasant atmosphere . It has a childish innocence over it , like basically all these typical genre movies from the ' 30's seem to have . It's atmosphere , story and characters make this a very pleasant and entertaining movie to watch . It has a very simple concept , in which a Frenc... |
484,271 | 1,416,505 | 74,330 | 8 | Jack Cassidy did it again ! | I don't know but a magician who kills a person in a murder-mystery has some formulaic sound over it . The whole killing and story approach of this movie however still give it an overall original touch . For the third time in his career Jack Cassidy starred in a Columbo movie . Also in the this movie he plays the killer... |
484,441 | 1,416,505 | 286,499 | 8 | Goal ! But not an hattrick . . . | Bend It Like Beckham is a movie that puts the ball in the net with several moments but also misses the post on others . Yet the good elements of the movie make up for the bad ones , which make this movie a good one and a pleasure to watch . I've always been charmed with Keira Knightley's looks but she never really qu... |
483,999 | 1,416,505 | 69,900 | 8 | A movie that handles its usual formula really well . | Of course every Columbo movie is a cat and mouse play between the Lieutenant and the killer but in this movie this is perhaps more the case than in any other Columbo movie . This is mostly due to Leonard Nimoy and Lt . Columbo gets on his back pretty early on during their first meeting already . There is some great int... |
484,031 | 1,416,505 | 69,901 | 8 | I really liked it ! | Hard to say what it is that makes this movie a tad bit better than most of the Columbo movies . Most likely it's the presence of Donald Pleasence . He always has been a great and perhaps also a bit of an underrated actor , who is best known for the work he did in horror movies . But it also is the story and directing t... |
484,183 | 1,416,505 | 69,906 | 8 | Chess is a dangerous game indeed . | It's nice that the movie tries some new things for a change . For instance it introduces the Columbo character first into the movie before the murder has even occurred and he starts to investigate before they have even found a body . We don't even get to see how the crime unfolds fully at the beginning but there is a g... |
485,029 | 1,416,505 | 382,095 | 8 | A wonderful movie ! | This movie was a great little surprise . It's a wonderful Dutch family movie with some good dramatic moments but it's also a movie that is entertaining to watch . The movie is perfectly made ! It perfectly mixes the dramatic moments with the sport and fun elements of the movie . The storytelling is truly excellent and ... |
484,205 | 1,416,505 | 130,623 | 8 | Beautiful ! | This movie was shear pleasure to watch . The movie looks visually absolutely stunning and the animation is done nicely . It's true eye-candy and entertaining as well . The movie has a typical adventurous story and feeling and is at times spectacular as well . Especially the beginning is impressively spectacular . There... |
483,820 | 1,416,505 | 87,469 | 8 | Dark but still very entertaining movie . | All of the Indiana Jones movie are very well known for their very high entertainment level . " Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom " is no exception despite the dark undertone of the movie . Granted , that after " Raiders of the Lost Ark " this movie might seem a little bit of a disappointment but that means in no way... |
484,864 | 1,416,505 | 100,802 | 8 | Schwarzenegger + Verhoeven = Golden couple . | Forget Schwarzenegger in the Terminator trilogy , forget Schwarzenegger in " Predator " , forget Schwarzenegger in " True Lies " , this is the ultimate Schwarzenegger role . He really is at his best in this movie which is mainly thanks to Verhoeven's directing . The beginning has Verhoeven written all over it . It's gr... |
485,382 | 1,416,505 | 70,003 | 8 | Still one of the scariest Dracula versions out there . | It's the combination of the ' 70's - and dark horror atmosphere that makes this movie such an highly effective and great one . It's a real shame that this made for TV Dracula version , based on the Bram Stoker novel , is not any better known . The movie has an amazing dark atmosphere that adds to the tension and horror... |
485,585 | 1,416,505 | 18,051 | 8 | People seem to love this for the wrong reasons . | People purely seem to praise this movie for its comedy but if you start comparing the humor in this movie to other genre movies from the same period you must admit that this movie isn't among the best . However the movie does deserve all the praise for its sweet and great written story and its creativity , which is the... |
483,931 | 1,416,505 | 83,131 | 8 | One of my favorite comedies ! | How to best describe this movie ? Like " Police Academy " set in the army . . . only than about a million times funnier . This movie shows once more what an incredible comical genius Bill Murray is . I can't imaging how this movie would had been without him . . . the answer probably is just plain bad . Murray is able t... |
484,125 | 1,416,505 | 206,442 | 8 | Artistically a well made movie . | This is artistically a well made and good looking movie but due to its different techniques and approach being used , that's different from the western way of film-making , this movie is also a hard one to watch in parts . The first halve of the movie is mostly hard to follow . Basically all you see are people walking ... |
484,972 | 1,416,505 | 60,841 | 8 | Atmospheric Hammer zombie-flick . | It's really a shame Hammer didn't made more zombie movies after this one . Pre - " Night of the Living Dead " made zombie movie always had a fantastic stylish and creepy atmosphere . Examples of this are movies like " White Zombie " , " I Walked with a Zombie " and also most certainly this movie . It weren't movies wit... |
484,755 | 1,416,505 | 43,379 | 8 | Good , late , typical Raoul Walsh movie . | Yeah , sure I missed Errol Flynn , but Gregory Peck is of course a more than great substitute . He plays a great and compelling character and I way only he could do . And just leave it up to director Raoul Walsh to make a good entertaining swashbuckler ! The movie has a great adventurous historic story , about life on ... |
484,782 | 1,416,505 | 364,725 | 8 | This movie hits hard ! | What a totally ridicules and stupid movie this was . . . I LOVE IT ! This movie is like the biggest load of nonsense you'll ever see . I mean an entire movie focused on the game dodgeball ? What movie has a more ridicules concept than that ? Fans of silly humor , this is a must see for you ! The movie has several stron... |
485,124 | 1,416,505 | 113,161 | 8 | When mobsters come to Hollywood . | I absolutely loved this movie when it first came out . It has an amazing cast , a pleasant light way of storytelling and a cleverly written story , featuring some great stereotypical gangster-type of characters . So , ever wondered what would happen if gangster interfered with producing Hollywood movies ? See " Get Sho... |
484,239 | 1,416,505 | 87,332 | 8 | One of the most entertaining movies of all time . | Ghostbusters is just one of those movies that you must have seen at least once in your life . Although I can't think of a person who hasn't already . Lot's of people grew up with this movie and lot's of people will remain to , cause it's a movie that just never will be outdated , the entertainment value is just too h... |
484,345 | 1,416,505 | 378,194 | 8 | Well made but I wish it was more like " Kill Bill : Vol . 1 " . | It's a well made and constructed movie that entertains and again perfectly blends several styles into one unique movieUnfortunately the movie is not as good as " Kill Bill : Vol . 1 " . " Kill Bill : Vol . 1 " was a way more entertaining because it was way more crazy mixture of style and because of that also very unpre... |
485,027 | 1,416,505 | 65,738 | 8 | Surprising good movie , part of the Hammer films Frankenstein franchise . | This movie truly surpassed my expectations . It's the fifth of the Hammer Frankenstein films and was followed by two more Frankenstein movies . Even though there aren't an awful lot of original elements in the movie , it still is better than the average Hammer movie . No , the story certainly isn't the strongest elemen... |
483,988 | 1,416,505 | 307,453 | 8 | Adults will like this movie better than kids . | It could be just me but I thought that the humor in this movie was perfect . I laughed lot's of times throughout the movie and was very entertained by it . I however think that this movie will not be loved by young children , they simply will not be able to understand most of the jokes and the movie also lacks some ' l... |
485,353 | 1,416,505 | 56,993 | 8 | Suprinsingly great . | Most horror movies made between the ' 50's and ' 70's weren't very much psychological once and featured for instance monsters , gore and tons of blood . In that regard " Diary of a Madman " is a quite refreshing movie . It lies its emphasis on the psychological aspects of the movie and uses it for its tension , mystery... |
483,981 | 1,416,505 | 286,716 | 8 | Me like Hulk ! | Movie lovers will appreciate this movie far better than the lets say the average teenager . " Hulk " is very different than any other superhero movie from the last couple of years . The movie is not aimed for the average teenagers audience that liked movies like " X-Men " and " X2 " , " Hulk " has more drama than actio... |
485,064 | 1,416,505 | 190,590 | 8 | Fun nonsense . | What a stylish and fun movie this was ! The movie was different than what I expected . I expected a weird movie with a typical style similar to maybe a Tim Burton movie . The movie however had a very easy to watch style which makes this movie very accessible to watch for all people . The story is filled with some wonde... |
485,569 | 1,416,505 | 241,282 | 8 | Nice subject . | This movie short can go down in history as the first ever Edison production to be filmed outdoors . It picked an interesting and nice subject of having a rope and slack wire walker doing a couple of tricks outdoors . The rope and slack wire walker is Juan A . Caicedo . A Venezuelan who performed a couple of times in th... |
483,743 | 1,416,505 | 265,208 | 8 | Great teenage comedy . | This is a sweet romantic teenage comedy that is better than you might expect it to be . It has an intelligent story with some great characters and a believable well constructed love-story . High-school and ex high-school students should be able to recognize a lot in the movie its story and characters . The movie delive... |
483,887 | 1,416,505 | 1,118,511 | 8 | Does not disappoint . | This was the first Wallace & Gromit short to be made after the big world wide theatrical release and success of the full length animated movie " Wallace & Gromit in The Curse of the Were-Rabbit " . By now the entire world and - not just England anymore , knew who Wallace & Gromit were . This of course made expectations... |
485,112 | 1,416,505 | 57,197 | 8 | Good old fashioned fun ! | As entertainment this movie is perfect . The movie is a fun adventurous one , with lots of spectacular moments and fights . From a technical point of view this movie is even a masterpiece . The stop-motion scene's created by special effects pioneer Ray Harryhausen is simply brilliant and makes this movie one of the mos... |
483,953 | 1,416,505 | 286,244 | 8 | Refreshingly original ! | This movie is unusual and refreshingly original . It shows that animated movies can really be a form of art and a great medium to tell a story with . The movie is highly unusual in terms of style and story . The movie has a refreshing and original own visual style and a story that is quite ridicules but at the same tim... |
485,140 | 1,416,505 | 486,185 | 8 | A fine short . | All inconsistencies and imperfections aside , this is simply a fine and enjoyable short from Boris Paval Conen . Basically it's very hard to create a perfect short movie . You never have enough time to develop your characters or to set up a proper story . This means that you need to rush things in order to tell what yo... |
484,620 | 1,416,505 | 29,850 | 8 | A spectacular piece of ' anti-German propaganda ' by Eisenstein . | The movie is based on a true battle fought between a Russian prince , Aleksandr Nevskiy against the German Teutonic knights . It's always interesting to watch a movie about a true historical battle , even when the movie itself is propaganda . For " Aleksandr Nevskiy " is truly a piece of Stalinist-propaganda , against ... |
485,261 | 1,416,505 | 22,150 | 8 | Such an enjoyable , sweet , innocent movie . | This is one irresistible great cheerful - and technically greatly made movie ! The movie features some of the greatest looking sets you'll ever see in a ' 30's movie , even though it's all too obvious that they are sets , rather than real place locations . Often if a character would fall or shake a doorpost too aggress... |
484,575 | 1,416,505 | 113,540 | 8 | Good as a realistic view on the mid - ' 90's life of kids . | The movie has a realistic , almost documentary like feeling , thanks to the way the movie is shot and acted . It provides a good and realistic view of the life of mid - ' 90's New York young teenagers . However the movie falls flat when it comes to shocking the audience . Some of all the things that are happening in th... |
485,083 | 1,416,505 | 241,373 | 8 | William K . L . Dickson greets the world for the very first time . | This is of course not the first film in history and presumably the Edison Manufacturing Company did dozens of test before actually shooting this and of course also shot " Monkeyshines , No . 1 " , 2 and 3 prior to this but it is the first film that was shown to a wide audience and press , at The National Federation of ... |
484,293 | 1,416,505 | 29,947 | 8 | Silly but fun of course . | This is simply a fine enjoyable movie , despite not making an awful lot of sense to me with its story . I wouldn't quite call this a screwball comedy , even though it is listed basically everywhere as one and the movie is basically one big heap of strange and unusual but funny circumstances . To be frank , the story an... |
484,060 | 1,416,505 | 420,171 | 8 | Can't believe how much I enjoyed watching this . | This is some delicious trash . It's a typical soft-core lesbian flick that gets combined with a well known horror story and characters . Well , not that this movie has much to do with the Bram Stoker novel of course , as a matter of fact this movie doesn't follow much story at all but the movie is really being saved an... |
485,392 | 1,416,505 | 360,486 | 8 | A nice surprise . . . glad I've watched it ! | With all the negative press this movie was receiving , I never was really much interested in watching this movie .

" Constantine " can be simply described as a mix of " The Exo... |
485,519 | 1,416,505 | 69,704 | 8 | Great movie celebrating the ' 60's . | Man , George Lucas must have really love the ' 60's ! This entire movie is an nostalgic trip and homage to the charismatic ' 60's . I mean , if you want to see how life of the American youth in the ' 60's was like , you should really watch this movie . The movie its story follows a group of friends that spend their las... |
484,005 | 1,416,505 | 369,339 | 8 | Michael Mann does it again . | Despite some flaws , especially in the story , " Collateral " is a thrilling and suspenseful movie with a great style and atmosphere . Perhaps most surprising thing about the movie is Tom Cruise . He is great as a bad guy and almost unrecognizable . Tom Cruise is one of those actors that you'll always recognize in a mo... |
484,047 | 1,416,505 | 25,873 | 8 | Laurel and Hardy's mishaps with Charlie Hall . | This is a great constantly fun and hilarious comedy short from Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy .

Hall , which result in an hilarious tit-for-tat routi... |
484,313 | 1,416,505 | 338,751 | 8 | Good biopic but not really fully worthy of all the Oscars and nominations . | This is a good movie but really not worthy of all that Oscar nominations . It's not among the best of 2004 and also certainly not among the best biopics of all time . But you have to give credit where credit is due . " The Aviator " is a good movie about an interesting man and an even more interesting life . With every... |
485,175 | 1,416,505 | 416,449 | 8 | The movie is exactly what it promised to be . | This movie never promised to be the ultimate and definite historical movie about the Battle of Thermopylae . the movie instead promised to be a visual spectacle with big effects and spectacular action sequences .

It's filled with some typical and very well executed slapstick humor . This is a great example of how a Laurel & Hardy movie should be .

485,570 | 1,416,505 | 241,267 | 8 | Sort of amusing and cute . | Shortly after the early Kinetoscope experiment " Leonard-Cushing Fight " , featuring the two boxers Jack Cushing and Mike Leonard in a boxing match , this movie got made at the Thomas Edison's Black Maria Studios , featuring two cats , fully equipped with boxing gloves , having a go at each other . So perhaps with some... |
484,316 | 1,416,505 | 278,504 | 8 | One of the better thrillers of the last couple of years . | Somehow I have the feeling that his movie is an underrated one . It's a not much talked about movie , that certainly deserves to be talked about . It has got a great compelling story and it is professionally directed by Christopher Nolan and acted by the fine cast . The movie starts of as a rather basic thriller but as... |
484,279 | 1,416,505 | 55,304 | 8 | Shows that Roger Corman can also do good movies . | It's amazing that he man who has made so much crap movies in his career , in which giant crabs , enormous leeches and other unlikely monsters are threatening the Earth , can also make good movies as well . Roger Corman is sort of the uncrowned king of B-movies but this movie is simply above that . It's the second out o... |
484,851 | 1,416,505 | 36,342 | 8 | Pretty nice thriller for its time . | I wouldn't exactly label this movie as a film-noir but it's a pretty good ' 40's thriller , that has a nice concept , which of course gets handled magnificently by the master of suspense ; Alfred Hitchcock . It's not his best and also certainly not his most memorable movie but this says something more about the quality... |
484,208 | 1,416,505 | 178,868 | 8 | Well constructed movie . | Ringu is a good and original movie . The story is really good and creepy . The storytelling of the movie is even better , which makes this movie not just a good horror movie but also a good character movie . The movie doesn't really has ' scare ' moments and perhaps because of this it has some missed opportunities in... |
485,328 | 1,416,505 | 90,264 | 8 | Awesome Bond ! | A View to a Kill is one of the better and cooler Bonds . From the most excellent theme song by Duran Duran till the big finale on the golden gate bridge the movie is entertaining and thrilling in a good quick pace . What makes " A View to a Kill " one of the better Bonds to me is that it has Christopher Walken in it ... |
485,007 | 1,416,505 | 94,651 | 8 | Excellent ! One of the best Dutch movies . | This movie is possibly my favorite Dutch movie ever . The movie can be described as a mix between " Se7en " and " Jaws " . It is scary , thrilling and funny at the right points . The atmosphere is simply brilliant but the action is even better . It has a speed boat chase in it were James Bond himself would be jealous o... |
484,403 | 1,416,505 | 90,248 | 8 | Anime + vampires = Great combination ! | The combination of the horror type of film-making and anime is one that works out surprisingly great and effective in this movie . It has a great dark and horror type of atmosphere and genre story . You can also expect lots of violence and gore from the movie . Yes , I really think that horror-fans will also enjoy watc... |
484,379 | 1,416,505 | 51,554 | 8 | Excellent Dracula version . . . | Excellent Dracula version the unfortunately hasn't stand the test of time . The pace is a bit too slow for my taste and there just doesn't happen enough . The sets are also outdated and don't look very convincing . However the excellent cast compensates allot . Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee are simply perfect in th... |
484,289 | 1,416,505 | 74,860 | 8 | A movie made great and unforgettable by its moments . | Marathon Man is among the most well known thrillers from the ' 70's and it's also definitely among the finest of its period . A period of many fine and classic genre movies , of which this movie knows to skillful distinct itself , with some classic moments . Let's face it , " Marathon Man " shall not be remembered fo... |
484,762 | 1,416,505 | 144,141 | 8 | Always has been a favorite of mine . | Don't really know why but out of all Columbo movies this is the one that always sticked most into my mind . I think this is mostly due to Patrick McGoohan's presence , who only a few years prior to this movie impressed with his role in " Braveheart " ( how did he not won an Oscar for that ? ) . Like many Columbo movies... |
484,255 | 1,416,505 | 381,612 | 8 | An entertaining few minutes . | Adam Bertocci goes Woody Allen style , in this fun movie with some great and fun dialog . " Sparky " is a great one man show by and with Adam Bertocci . The best thing is the dialog which is really entertaining and fun most of the time . It's just too bad that this movie is so short . The story had a lot more potential... |
484,869 | 1,416,505 | 1,223 | 8 | Interesting . | Most people assume that the Boris Karloff version was the first Frankenstein movie ever filmed . This 1910 version of the Mary Shelley novel is very rare and unknown to most people . First of all when you watch this movie you of course shouldn't expect a good flowing story with nice acting . See this just pure for hist... |
485,189 | 1,416,505 | 25,185 | 8 | Simple Laurel & Hardy short but has some absolute hilarious moments in it . | This is a very simple made Laurel & Hardy short with an almost non-existent and not that great story . However the gags in the movie are absolutely hilarious and are the reason why this is one of the better Laurel & Hardy comedy shorts . It's a very consistent movie that remains funny throughout its entire running time... |
484,408 | 1,416,505 | 443,706 | 8 | In the search for truth and answers . | The movie is a realistic retelling of the events involving the Zodiac killer . Crimes that as of yet still haven't been solved . The movie is told from many different viewpoints , such as the reporters that receive his letters and the police . Because of the different approaches the movie always knows to grab your atte... |
484,158 | 1,416,505 | 486,655 | 8 | Quality fun . | To be honest , I didn't expect this movie to be as good as it turned out to be . No way this movie seemed like one deserving its current rating on here . This seemed to me like just another fluffy ' light'-Lord of the Rings children movie . But even though this movie borrows heavily from other movies , it remains a goo... |
484,615 | 1,416,505 | 82,479 | 8 | A great movie , for its genre . | Italian horror movies from the ' 70's and ' 80's especially , are not really know for their subtitle or overall brilliantness . Let's face it , they always have low production values and has a cheap look over it , with actors in it that really can't act . In essence all of the movies are also the same with its story an... |
484,378 | 1,416,505 | 86,837 | 8 | Actually , it's very good ! | Of course it comes nowhere close to the brilliance of " 2001 : A Space Odyssey " , but I don't think that ever was the makers intension . I believe that " 2010 " was made to tie up the loose ends and answer some of the questions that " 2001 : A Space Odyssey " left . While " 2001 : A Space Odyssey " was more a visual m... |
485,351 | 1,416,505 | 170,016 | 8 | Never quite understood why it isn't liked any better . | I already loved " How the Grinch Stole Christmas " when it was released and I'm still loving it now , 5 years later . Still lots of people seem to disagree with my opinion and this movie never really had received much love at the time it came out . Sure , the movie is over-the-top and campy but that at the very same is... |
484,167 | 1,416,505 | 9,968 | 8 | A silent movie like only D . W . Griffith could make them . | It's amazing to see how incredibly good all of D . W . Griffith's movies are , especially considering he made his best work in the 1910's and 1920's , when movie-making was a relatively new medium and there weren't any other movie-makers around on the same league as Griffith to compare the work to . D . W . Griffith wa... |
485,426 | 1,416,505 | 39,941 | 8 | A movie that begins uninteresting but gets better and better as it head toward the ending . | This was a great little surprise . Most film-noir's from the ' 40's are always a good watch and this movie is also certainly among the better one's of its period . A real surprise , considering that this movie is a fairly unknown one and is directed by Michael Curtiz , who had his most success - and is best known for d... |
485,257 | 1,416,505 | 373,889 | 8 | The most bold and daring Harry Potter movie as of yet . | Lots of people at the time praised " Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban " for its dark approach and atmosphere . Well , if " Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban " was a dark movie , than this is an ultra-dark movie . " Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban " was a semi-dark children / fantasy movie that n... |
485,204 | 1,416,505 | 389,557 | 8 | Paul Verhoeven back to his roots . | More than 20 years after his last Dutch movie , Verhoeven returns to his native country with the movie " Zwartboek " . Of course expectations were high and people from both the Netherlands and those outside of it , who are familiar with his earlier Dutch movies , eagerly awaited this movie , probably expecting a new " ... |
484,799 | 1,416,505 | 90,576 | 8 | Great Dutch drama . | The Dutch are not great at making movies but when they make a WW II movie it often is a little masterpiece . " De Aanslag " is a movie like this . " De Aanslag " isn't necessarily about WW II but more about the effects of it on a persons life and why things happen the way they do and how little things can effect a pers... |
485,080 | 1,416,505 | 257,044 | 8 | A different kind of gangster movie . | When you say gangster movie , you immediately think about movies like " The Godfather " and " Goodfellas " . " Road to Perdition " is also a gangster movie but it's different . It's more stylish and focuses even more and goes deeper in on the characters . Visually this movie is absolutely wonderful ! The atmosphere is ... |
484,912 | 1,416,505 | 129,332 | 8 | Highly original movie . | This is an highly original and refreshing horror movie about cannibals told with lots of well placed black-comedy . There never has been a movie like this before and there most likely will never be one again . Once when I was switching channels I came across the last hour of " Ravenous " . Even though I had no idea wha... |
484,952 | 1,416,505 | 408,306 | 8 | An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind . | This movie does provide a powerful , gripping and for most part realistic view of the 1972 Munich Olympic tragedy and its aftermath . Of course , especially the movie its view of the aftermath , is mostly , if not entirely , fictional and we will probably never know if events as presented in this movie actually really ... |
485,033 | 1,416,505 | 20,708 | 8 | Laurel & Hardy as REAL kids this time ! | Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy were of course already big kids in their movies but this time they also play kids . Beside the roles of the two young children , Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy , of course also portray the two fathers . This guarantees some hilarious sequences between the two kids and the two fathers . Most o... |
484,690 | 1,416,505 | 381,849 | 8 | Even bad men love their mommas . | The western now days is a pretty dead genre . Only a couple of times every now and then a wonderful genre movie gets suddenly released again , of which " 3 : 10 to Yuma " is the most recent example . The movie isn't really a classic western , in terms of that it uses all of the clichés and techniques you would expect f... |
485,269 | 1,416,505 | 71,222 | 8 | A fine ' 70's genre movie . | It's not a movie with a great or original story ( which horror movie does anyway ? ) or approach but this is simply one fine and effective genre movie , with a fine premise , good settings and some wonderful genre moments . Amazing thing is that director Bob Clark started his career with movies like this but soon conti... |
484,140 | 1,416,505 | 20,678 | 8 | Eight above zero . | This is a rather enjoyable short Laurel & Hardy picture with again a story divided in two parts , that are both good and enjoyable in their own way . Problem with some of the Laurel & Hardy pictures is that the movies that are divided in two separate parts are not the best or most consistent ones , due to the fact that... |
