484,254 | 1,416,505 | 316,654 | 9 | Does everything right the first did wrong . | Spider-Man 2 is an huge improvement over " Spider-Man " . In my comment for " Spider-Man " I complained about several things . One of my biggest complaints was that it was a movie that looked great from the outside but was shallow and empty on the inside . " Spider-man 2 " looks great from the outside AND from the in... |

485,510 | 1,416,505 | 290,334 | 9 | By the powers , they actually got it right this time ! | X-Men was a bit of a disappointment to me . Don't get me wrong it was entertaining and fun but it didn't had the right comic book / cartoon feeling to me . " X2 " is an huge improvement and it really surprised me how good this movie was ! One of the surprises of the year ! Advantage of " X2 " is that it doesn't have ... |
484,324 | 1,416,505 | 330,373 | 9 | I'm both surprised and impressed . | Although the previous 3 Harry Potter movies were good as entertainment , I probably never was the biggest fan of the movie franchise . The previous movies all had their flaws , mainly with the pace and character treatment . However " Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire " seems to do everything right , what the previous... |
484,894 | 1,416,505 | 56,347 | 9 | Fantastic ! | This version of " The Phantom of the Opera " is very different from the original and others . But fantastic nevertheless . The movie is approached differently compared to other versions , not only the story is different but also the characters . Especially The Phantom has become a bit of a different person . Personally... |
484,091 | 1,416,505 | 30,523 | 9 | Even more beautiful as part 1 . | This is an even more beautiful looking documentary than was the case with the first Riefenstahl 1936 Olympics documentary " Olympia 1 . Teil - Fest der Völker " . Perhaps it's because this movie focuses more on the more gracious looking sports , than was the case in the first movie , which focused purely on the sports ... |
484,634 | 1,416,505 | 118,749 | 9 | The rise and fall of a porn star . - A surprisingly epic movie . | I wasn't sure what to expect from this movie at first . I expected this movie to be a fun and non-serious one . After all the movie its premise and concept seems at first sight like fun comedy material rather than heavy dramatic stuff . Overall the movie did had a fun and non-serious feeling and atmosphere all over it ... |
485,529 | 1,416,505 | 21,814 | 9 | Stylish horror classic . | Along with " Alien " this is the most stylish horror movie I have ever seen . This version of Dracula is different from others since this movie is based on a play . There are still some surprises and interesting elements even if you have seen some of the other many Dracula movies that has been made and in many ways thi... |
483,888 | 1,416,505 | 112,691 | 9 | Close to perfect . | Even though the story is probably less impressive - and overdone when compared to the other Wallace & Gromit shorts , it still probably is my favorite . It's simply such a fine and entertaining movie to watch , not in the least because it has Preston , the evil villain dog in it and a whole bunch of sheep . It's an imp... |
485,530 | 1,416,505 | 382,590 | 9 | Like playing in a movie ! | Not as superior as the Medal of Honor series but still an excellent game ! The most original thing about " Call of Duty " is the story . The story gives you the feeling you're watching a movie were you are in control of . The levels aren't just levels were you have to go from point A to B and shoot everything and every... |
485,571 | 1,416,505 | 21,739 | 9 | A story of all times . | This 1931 Jean Renoir French movie has a story of all times . It's about a man who falls for the wrong girl and gets deeper and deeper into problems because of it . What can be more lethal than a woman ? The drama is complex and multiple layered and mostly works out so well in this movie since the story by no means is ... |
484,268 | 1,416,505 | 21,755 | 9 | Great consistent Laurel & Hardy comical short . | Tiny problem with most Laurel & Hardy movies is that most of them have some weaker scene's and moments in them . " Come Clean " however is a wonderful exception to this and it's a movie that manages to stay consistent throughout its entire running time . All of the sequences are very well constructed and are highly amu... |
485,164 | 1,416,505 | 240,772 | 9 | Great cast and script ! | Ocean's Eleven is a very fun and stylish heist movies with a wonderful cast and clever script that provides more than enough surprises and fun twists .

484,454 | 1,416,505 | 83,851 | 9 | A great treat . | Guess I really like this sort of period movies , about the British upper-class in the 17th century . The movies have an own unique kind of style and atmosphere over them . This especially really goes for this unique little film . it's a very witty movie and halve way through it also becomes obvious exactly how intellig... |
484,898 | 1,416,505 | 151,804 | 9 | Most excellent comedy . | This movie is a rare good comedy that unfortunately not many people know . The movie is full with crazy and awesome characters such as Milton , Bob & Bob , Brian and many more . The cast portrays the characters excellent . Especially Ron Livingston grabbed my attention , before this movie I only knew him as Capt . Nixo... |
485,404 | 1,416,505 | 56,592 | 9 | You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view . . . Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it . | I always thought that " To Kill a Mockingbird " was nothing more than a court-drama . A predecessor of " A Time to Kill " if you like , however the movie turned out to be much more than a court-drama . The movie is truly about and told from the point of view of the children , growing up in the depression-era of the ' 3... |
484,980 | 1,416,505 | 91,419 | 9 | Top class entertainment in a perfect campy environment . | Little Shop of Horrors really is a movie that is fun to watch over and over again . I'm not a big musical fan but I can appreciate a classic like " Grease " , " The Rocky Horror Picture Show " and a good Disney movie . " Little Shop of Horrors " is also on my list of classic musicals . It was a good move by director ... |
483,926 | 1,416,505 | 268,380 | 9 | Great characters in a fun adventure ! | Ice Age gives us a sabertooth tiger , a sloth , and a mammoth and lets them go on an adventure .

485,176 | 1,416,505 | 74,119 | 9 | How the domino's fell . | If you want to know all about the Watergate scandal but you're too lazy to read a book or watch a documentary , like 80 % of the world's population , this movie is the ultimate resource to learn all about Watergate . The movie now has a perfect educational value now days , though at the time when it was made , the movi... |
484,267 | 1,416,505 | 17,664 | 9 | Two hilarious movies in one . | The two parts of the movie have absolutely nothing to do with each other but that's no complaint , since the two part each are absolutely hilarious and well constructed .

484,554 | 1,416,505 | 245,429 | 9 | Great characters and story . | What makes this movie so powerful and great are mainly its characters . The characters are well constructed and are mainly the reason why this movie is so unforgettable . Some of the characters are quite odd looking , even by anime standards but they are so wonderfully constructed that they all become believable . The ... |
483,942 | 1,416,505 | 140,352 | 9 | The price of being honest . | This movie tells the intriguing story of mainly two normal individuals and their struggle to unveil the truth behind the lies of the tobacco industry , to the world . Michael Mann movies are often told slowly but they are never boring . This is due to the intensity it is told with , the realistic cinematography by Dant... |
484,733 | 1,416,505 | 78,788 | 9 | A most unusual masterpiece . | This movie is extremely odd . Looking at this movie makes it obvious that most of the cast and crew were on drugs during filming . The end movie result , is an unique one of a kind movie experience and quite possible the best Vietnam war movie ever made . It's not a movie for everyone though , guess true movie buffs ar... |
484,350 | 1,416,505 | 18,037 | 9 | A jazz singer torn between two , equally important for him , worlds . | Widely know as the first widely released ' talkie ' .

484,631 | 1,416,505 | 57,076 | 9 | One of the greatest in its genre . | This is more than just a great Bond movie , it also is a great movie on its own . It's well constructed and has a solid , fast paced story , with some great memorable action sequences and characters in it . This movie is quite different from other Bond movies in many regards . First and foremost reason of course for th... |
484,373 | 1,416,505 | 96,061 | 9 | Fun to watch every day of the year . | This is a Christmas movie that also is very enjoyable to watch outside of the holiday's . Another name for the movie could be " The Bill Murray Show " , he simply makes this movie and I can't even imaging how the movie would have been without him in it . He's amazingly funny and on top of that he also is a wonderful ac... |
484,584 | 1,416,505 | 70,034 | 9 | Delicious pulp ! | Yes , " Enter the Dragon " is a typically badly made material arts movie , with a simple almost non-existent story , cheesy dialog , laughable bad dubbing , over-the-top fight sequences and extremely stereotypical characters . You know it't the type of movie in which one of the villains has an huge scar on his face and... |
485,360 | 1,416,505 | 22,286 | 9 | The " Goodfellas " of the ' 30's . | This is a very early movie within the gangster / crime genre . The movie was so early that it was afraid it could have a bad influence on people and put a disclaimer before the start of the movie , telling that this is not a movie that glorifies being an hoodlum . Movies such as " Scarface " ( 1932 ) and " The Roaring ... |
485,091 | 1,416,505 | 17,925 | 9 | The great train chase ! | The great train chase would perhaps be a better and more suiting title for this movie . The movie is for most part set in a train engine and involved the Buster Keaton in the pursuit of another stolen train by the Union army , during the American Civil War . You would think that a movie that's mostly set in a moving tr... |
485,270 | 1,416,505 | 29,870 | 9 | A gangster movie with a humane face . | It's mostly a movie that is made great by its Oscar-nominated story . It's a typical ' 30's gangster movie only with a more humane and dramatic twist to it , in which two childhood friends find each other on the other side of the law , despite still having a strong friendship . It's not necessarily Michael Curtiz his b... |
484,469 | 1,416,505 | 22,238 | 9 | A very fun Laurel & Hardy comedy short . | This is one of my favorites . It has lots of fun moments and a great comical premise that features some of the most fun characters ever appeared in a Laurel & Hardy movie . The movie really has a great comical story . Oliver is planning to get married and starts making arrangement at home , which of course he , with th... |
483,825 | 1,416,505 | 206,634 | 9 | What an incredible realistic looking movie . | At the beginning of the movie I was quite worried . I thought ; Oh no , not another movie about a depressive , cold and ugly looking future , in which a common man grows out to be a hero . For the first 30 minutes it really felt like the movie was heading in that direction . Later the movie starts to take a positive tu... |
484,714 | 1,416,505 | 12,364 | 9 | Death comes to town . | Not as well known as the English , American , German and French cinema , though cinema from Sweden from the ' 20's was also quite good , interesting and revolutionary . This is a movie that is made great by its story . The story is told in ' A Christmas Carol ' kind of way , in which the death himself confronts the dec... |
485,514 | 1,416,505 | 60,472 | 9 | Simply the best racing movie ever made . | After 40 years , this still is a very exciting movie to watch , especially obviously for race fans and F1 fans in particular . As weird as it might sound , " Grand Prix " is a real period movie . There is an immense difference between ' 66 Grand Prix racing and present day Formula 1 , in terms of rules , cars and mostl... |
484,607 | 1,416,505 | 22,251 | 9 | Their first full-length feature is one to remember ! | This was the first full-length movie from Laurel & Hardy , that last over 1 hour long . Their first effort is definitely one of their better ones . Difference with most other Laurel & Hardy movies is that this one actually has a story and continuity in it . It's more than just one slapstick and comical moment after ano... |
484,870 | 1,416,505 | 29,843 | 9 | Oh what fun ! | This movie is a real classic not in terms of greatness but more in terms of the entertainment value it has . The movie simply brings perfect swashbuckling entertainment and it is hard to believe at times that the movie was made in 1938 , it still is great , spectacular and fun to watch these days . The movie has a wond... |
484,037 | 1,416,505 | 26,029 | 9 | Surprising good ' unknown ' early Hitchcock movie . | This is one fine early Hitchcock and early thriller movie , with one fine story in which the movie its main character is always one the run for somebody . Because I had never heard about this movie before , my expectations for it weren't too high , despite the fact that it was directed by no other than Alfred Hitchcock... |
484,967 | 1,416,505 | 52,811 | 9 | Surprisingly brilliant . | What a nice surprise this movie was . Director John Gilling surely knows how to make a well build up thriller with a slow pace but never a dull moment . The movie is extremely well written and has some at times incredibly good dialog . The fact that this movie is based on the true story of Burke and Hare - , two murder... |
483,883 | 1,416,505 | 35,575 | 9 | James Cagney as you've never seen him before . | James Cagney is of course best known for his tough gangster roles but he has also done his fair share of musical roles throughout his career . It was also how he started out his career and the theater was perhaps also were truly his heart really was . This was also the movie which earned Cagney his only Oscar win and h... |
485,143 | 1,416,505 | 122,151 | 9 | They never get too old for this ! | This is about as entertaining as a movie can get ! You can tell by watching this movie that cast and crew worked together as one big family . A lot of cast and crew members of the first three Lethal Weapon movies returned in this movie . That is the biggest power of the movie . The story itself actually is quite weak ,... |
485,163 | 1,416,505 | 104,940 | 9 | Brings warmth and joy to the heart ! | This Muppet version is a wonderful version of the famous Dickens novel . It is really heartwarming and delivers the story and its moral well and it's filled with great songs and fun characters . Michael Caine is a great perfect Scrooge , he plays the classic character wonderfully without overacting , something that oth... |
485,508 | 1,416,505 | 78,346 | 9 | Deserves the classic status . | Superman already is a classic superhero movie that was ahead of its time and set the standards for many more other superhero movies later to come . From the very first minute you know this movie will be spectacular . The fantastic opening titles ( also mainly thanks to John Williams music ) really wakes you up and ge... |
484,924 | 1,416,505 | 57,129 | 9 | A genuinely scary movie . | This movie is so very effective and just overall excellent due to its minimalism . Little is explained , little is ever shown and the story also isn't the most complex written one . Out of all the horror movies I've seen I can honestly say that this is one of the genuinely scary ones . It still is the best ' haunted ho... |
484,697 | 1,416,505 | 47,478 | 9 | Great action movie driven by its story and characters . | This is the movie that set the standards for future action movies . It perfectly mixes all the action movie elements we are familiar with these this days in movies . But still its not the action I'll remember this movie by . I'll remember the movie for its wonderful and heroic story and top-notch characters . For me it... |
483,753 | 1,416,505 | 265,086 | 9 | Saving Private Ryan in Somalia . | This movie uses the exact same gritty style as used in " Saving Private Ryan " . I don't mind it , I welcome it ! For me it's wonderful to see that " Saving Private Ryan " set a whole new trend for war movies . Just like in " Saving Private Ryan " this movie tries to shock the audience , sometimes it succeeds but somet... |
484,503 | 1,416,505 | 25,913 | 9 | Something beautiful for something horrible . | No matter what Leni Riefenstahl claims , this movie is just pure propaganda for the NSDAP . Seriously , if it wasn't supposed to be propaganda , the movie would had been edited in a totally different way . Everyone with common sense sees this is pure propaganda . Horrible yet beautiful propaganda . The movie is histori... |
485,240 | 1,416,505 | 884,328 | 9 | An original movie that works on many dimensions . | This movie is being praised basically everywhere , which made me all the more skeptic about watching it of course . I mean , how could a movie set in a supermarket , surrounded by fog , could ever be an exciting or tense horror flick ? Well , you better believe it that this movie is a exciting and tense one to watch an... |
484,197 | 1,416,505 | 35,446 | 9 | Hamlet against Hitler . | This is one fine and also rather effective WW II comedy , that mocks the Nazi's and their direct leaders . The movie got actually made during WW II and therefore this movie , just like Chaplin's " The Great Dictator " can be seen as a relevant one for its time and propaganda for the good cause . Lots of the cast and cr... |
485,587 | 1,416,505 | 18,192 | 9 | Abel Gance's masterpiece is still the best and most impressive Napoléon movie ever made . | Even though Abel Gance have made lots of innovating and masterful movies and I have the biggest respect for him and his movies , I'm not one of his biggest fans , mostly because his movies are extremely long but they are also really heavy to watch . " Napoléon " is however a great exception and is a very entertaining m... |
485,377 | 1,416,505 | 25,318 | 9 | What an insane comedy ! | This is one crazy hilarious comedy that also knows to be quite different and original from other genre comedies made in the same era . It's however a movie with a very simply story of course That's why I can't really understand how one could rate this a perfect . Basically the only purpose for the movie its story is to... |
485,568 | 1,416,505 | 25,335 | 9 | Excellent subtle ' 30's John Ford comedy . | ' 30's comedies aren't exactly known for their subtlety and they mostly consist out of physical humor . This movie forms a great and wonderful exception to this . This is one great subtle comedy that is mostly funny thanks to its very amusing and extreme stereotyped characters . It of course also really helps that they... |
484,499 | 1,416,505 | 86,984 | 9 | De Palma's homage to Hitchcock . | This movie is often misunderstood as an Hitckcock rip-off , I see it merely as an homage . It is a well known fact that De Palma admires Hitchcock . In this movie De Palma mixes several elements from various Hitchcock movies with as a result his homage to the master of suspense ; " Body Double " . Like I said before , ... |
485,278 | 1,416,505 | 20,979 | 9 | One of the most typical Laurel & Hardy shorts . | This movie shows what Laurel & Hardy shorts are all about . Crazy situations , silly antics and some crazy stunts . This short is truly one of the best from Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy . The story is very simple and basically only serves as a lame excuse to make the boys do some crazy things and to get them into some ... |
484,530 | 1,416,505 | 29,583 | 9 | Set the standards for all future animated movies . | Of course one of the things about animated movies is that no matter when they got made they never look old . " Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs " got made in 1937 but it looks just as good and the same as Disney movies - and other full length animated movies that got made in much later decades . You can say that " Snow ... |
485,266 | 1,416,505 | 29,608 | 9 | Making sacrifices . | Even though drama is not my favorite movie genre I'm still a big fan of King Vidor drama's . He directed classics in the ' 20's , ' 30's , ' 40's and even still in the ' 50's . Seriously , what other director can say that ? He seems to have the ability to provide movies with some human and realistic feeling drama . It ... |
483,737 | 1,416,505 | 117,666 | 9 | Beautiful slow character portrayal . | Sling Blade is a movie with an incredible great main character in it . Billy Bob Thornton truly portrays a memorable movie character that delivers some memorable lines . It's a role you normally wouldn't expect to see him in . The movie has a beautiful story that has lots of heart in it . It's told in a perfect slow ... |
485,499 | 1,416,505 | 285,104 | 9 | Beautiful ! | Visually this is a beautiful short . It has some amazing cinematography by Harris Savides who also made moody movies like " The Game " , " Finding Forrester " and " Birth " . The fine directing is from Kar Wai Wong , who makes this short a little piece of art . The story is also what helps to make this movie beautiful ... |
484,334 | 1,416,505 | 273,956 | 9 | So much fun ! | I bought this DVD just for the show , because I had heard how much fun it was . You don't have to be an huge Phil Collins fan ( such as myself ) to like this DVD . It's simply great fun to watch for everybody ! Mainly because of the special round shape of the stage and the enthusiastic musical artist , the show is extr... |
485,134 | 1,416,505 | 29,453 | 9 | French film-noir before film-noir even existed . | The term film-noir didn't got handled until the ' 40's but this term would also really apply to this movie . It features all of the film-noir ingredients with its story as well as its atmosphere . The movie isn't as smooth or expensive and good looking as an American movie but otherwise there is not much wrong with it ... |
484,489 | 1,416,505 | 90,163 | 9 | Disturbingly realistic . | A BBC , made for TV movie , surely doesn't sound like the most spectacular or groundbreaking movie ever made . But " Threads " is simply a very effective movie , that surely surpassed my expectations . The movie surely portrays the most realistic and therefore also most disturbing nuclear holocaust I have ever seen , i... |
484,240 | 1,416,505 | 129,167 | 9 | Heartwarming and with a wonderful atmosphere . | The Iron Giant really is a wonderful movie . It's a different kind of animated movie and although it has some comical moments the main essence of the movie are on the emotions and atmosphere . It can be describes as " E . T . " with an Iron giant . The movie really perfectly captures the 50's atmosphere . The animati... |
485,555 | 1,416,505 | 36,154 | 9 | Pretty good and just as appealing as for instance a Luis Buñuel movie . | I like watching an occasional experimental Luis Buñuel movie and I like them for what they are . I can also see the art of the it , just like this movie is definitely a piece of art . I could say that I liked this movie - and found it to be just as appealing as a Luis Buñuel movie though . But a thing is that Buñuel wa... |
483,995 | 1,416,505 | 75,066 | 9 | The best one out of the series . | This is just one of those movies that , no matter how many times I've watched it , is an hilarious comedy that genuinely makes me laugh . What I often love about Blake Edwards ' comedies is his almost cartoon like approach of it . This is like a life action road runner / Wile E . Coyote movie . Along with " The Great R... |
485,579 | 1,416,505 | 469,494 | 9 | The kind of movie I thought that didn't got made anymore . | ' They don't make them like this anymore ' is a much uses expression when saying something about a classy ' 40's epic . " There Will Be Blood " however is just a movie like that . Appearantly there are still directors around with the talent to bring back the old feeling of a brilliant epic from the early days of cinema... |
484,872 | 1,416,505 | 16,847 | 9 | A feast to look at . | Faust is a famous German story from Johann Wolfgang Goethe but to be honest I wasn't familiar with it until I saw this movie . Perhaps that's also why I liked the story so much , the movie changes direction time after time and from the beginning on you don't know how it is going to end . A great story of good versus ev... |
484,498 | 1,416,505 | 71,230 | 9 | Rare hilarious comedy . | Blazing Saddles is a classic comedy , though it is not Brooks his best . Like many other comedies , the movie has hits and misses . There are some incredible good and funny moments but also some very lame one's but all of that is just a matter of opinion . Most people will have more than a few laughs while watching t... |
485,092 | 1,416,505 | 465,551 | 9 | One of the unjustly overlooked movies of 2006 . | This is perhaps one of the most overlooked movies of 2006 . Sure , it got lots of good critical acclaim and it was even nominated for 4 Oscar's but not that many people actually went to see this movie in theaters . I'll admit that Judi Dench as an old lesbian doesn't sound like the most appealing movie but of course wh... |
484,451 | 1,416,505 | 20,530 | 9 | Imaging the videotape from " The Ring " , only set in the ' 20's and 15 minutes long . | This is a rather odd , surreal movie , that is told like a dream-like sequence . It's an amazingly imaginative movie . It's a very graphic movie that features bugs , carcasses , severed limbs , sexuality and whatever more . Some returning elements also in later Luis Buñuel movies . No , it of course doesn't always make... |
484,654 | 1,416,505 | 75,213 | 9 | ' The Duke's ' last movie is a fantastic and worthy one . | It was strange to watch this movie knowing that this was John Wayne's last . Even stranger was it because the character he plays is dying of cancer just like John Wayne himself was at the moment . It gave the movie a deeper meaning and made some of the scene's more emotional . The story is told in a absolutely fantasti... |
484,946 | 1,416,505 | 347,048 | 9 | An original , realistic , depressing , modern love-story . | Gegen die wand is a daring and original modern romantic movie , with not a joyful feeling all over it like you would expect from a genre movie but instead an heavy but also realistic and serious feeling all over it . It's European movie-making at its very best . But " Gegen die wand " is so much more than just a ' lo... |
484,130 | 1,416,505 | 71,348 | 9 | Columbo : Diagnosis Murder . | This Columbo movie is easily among the very best . It has a nice story , even better story-telling and a Dick Van Dyke in top-form , opposite Peter Falk . Accoring to the rules of Columbo logics and standards , this shouldn't be a good Columbo movie at all . The movie , with its one and an half hour , is far longer tha... |
484,770 | 1,416,505 | 35,881 | 9 | A documentary made as a movie or a movie made as a documentary ? | Seems strange that this movie is being listed as a documentary , fore this movie is made as a real movie , with scripted dialog and situations . Nevertheless it still can be seen as a docudrama , which concentrates on the London civilian fire brigade during the bombings of WW II . The movie gives a real insightful look... |
485,432 | 1,416,505 | 448,134 | 9 | Finally a clever science-fiction movie again that works . | There have been some ( unsuccesful ) attempts the past few years ( such as " Solaris " and " Mission to Mars " . ) but lets face it , science-fiction movies now days mostly means flying space ships constantly battling each other and freaky looking aliens who try to take over the world , instead of the deeper and more p... |
485,412 | 1,416,505 | 288,861 | 9 | The Dutch " Goodfellas " . | This movie surpassed all my expectations . Its very raw in its violence and story . The characters are well developed and the actors that portray them are most excellent . I couldn't help thinking about " Goodfellas " while watching this movie . Both movies have certain parallels . The main character doesn't begin his ... |
484,926 | 1,416,505 | 36,775 | 9 | One fine constructed movie . | This is a classic movie that is made by its story . It has a great deep murder-plot , with normal characters being put in not so normal circumstances . Within its genre this is simply one fine movie , that with all of its ingredients embodies the crime / film-noir genre of the ' 40's . Like all of these movies it begin... |
485,177 | 1,416,505 | 270,288 | 9 | What a directorial debut for Clooney ! | Amazing that this movie was actual a debut for its director George Clooney . The movie is filmed with so much class and great storytelling that you would think that this movie was directed by a multiple Oscar nominee veteran director . I predict an Oscar win for best directing for Clooney within the next 10 years . He ... |
485,546 | 1,416,505 | 63,522 | 9 | Psychological horror can't get much better than this . | Even though no monsters or real scare moments are present , the atmosphere and the psychological elements of this movies still makes this a strong and original horror movie . Just like the 1973 movie " Don't Look Now " , the horror is hidden in the creepy story that keeps you guessing till the end what is truly going o... |
483,814 | 1,416,505 | 117,060 | 9 | Mission succeeded ! | Mission : Impossible is next to " Heat " known as the action movie with very few action in it . The main reason why the movie got criticized was because of the complex story which no normal human seemed to understand . Well , let me say this , after watching it about 5 times you will understand it completely and you ... |
484,750 | 1,416,505 | 809,916 | 9 | My idea of a fun great nonsense movie . | This short movie is my idea of a fun great nonsense movie . There is zero story , everything that happens doesn't really make much sense , the characters are simple and dumb in an hilarious way . In other words ; perfect to kill some time with and have a great time as well while doing so . This is a typical movie that ... |
483,968 | 1,416,505 | 120,915 | 9 | Wonderful but not perfect beginning of the greatest movie saga of all time . | Star Wars : Episode I - The Phantom Menace was probably one of the most anticipated movie of the last couple of decades .

485,414 | 1,416,505 | 95,159 | 9 | The perfect mix of British and American comedy . | This movie knows to find the perfect balance between British and American comedy .

483,925 | 1,416,505 | 110,357 | 9 | An impressive animated movie . | The Lion King is and will always will be regarded as one of the better Disney movies . And it deserves that ! First of all the movie looks visually splendid ! The African land scape's are beautiful and so are the animations of the animals itself .

484,083 | 1,416,505 | 407,887 | 9 | This is the Martin Scorsese I missed for such a long time . | Let's face it , Martin Scorsese has made some good movies the past few years but nothing too brilliant or remarkable , at least not compared to his more early work from the ' 70's , ' 80's and early ' 90's . The last real brilliant Scorsese was in my opinion the remake " Cape Fear " , which dates back from 1991 . But "... |
484,630 | 1,416,505 | 289,043 | 9 | Takes the genre to a new modern era . | The moment this movie got released it already instant basically became a classic .

485,183 | 1,416,505 | 312,004 | 9 | Cleverly funny and made with eye for detail . . . only complaint ; it's too short ! | Lot's of cheese might be featured in this movie but the movie itself is far from cheesy . It's a cleverly made movie , of which its humor relies on its timing and characters , rather then the script . What a wonderful achievement this movie is . The claymation is even more detailed and better looking as in the previous... |
485,212 | 1,416,505 | 94,947 | 9 | Highly amusing . | Although this movie is always everywhere credited as a drama / romance , I regarded this movie as an highly amusing ' dark ' comedy , with subtle humor and characters . It of course is not the sort of movie that makes you laugh out loud but it's the sort of movie that amuses you throughout its entire running time . I l... |
485,537 | 1,416,505 | 91,064 | 9 | Not quite fully an horror movie and not quite fully a science-fiction movie . Instead its an unique movie experience in almost every way possible | The Fly is hard to classify . There never has been a movie like this before and there will never be one again , since the way of movie-making and story telling is so brilliantly unique of this movie . It's not really an horror movie , for it's not consistently scary and gory enough for that . The movie can be divided... |
485,275 | 1,416,505 | 51,808 | 9 | Action movie storytelling - Kurosawa style . | Akira Kurosawa has got to be one of the most influential and inspiring movie-directors of all time . Back in 1958 , there wasn't really an action movie genre . This was before movies like " North by Northwest " and " Dr . No " were made , which both probably are the most influential and earliest ' modern ' form action ... |
483,902 | 1,416,505 | 101,540 | 9 | A rare case of the remaking being better then the original . | The 1962 movie version of " Cape Fear " was already a great and classic one . It was a movie that set the standards for most later thrillers and featured Gregory Peck and Robert Mitchum still in their prime . How was a remake ever going to surpass the original ? Martin Scorsese really pulled this off ! He makes " Cape ... |
