484,346 | 1,416,505 | 254,455 | 9 | Brilliantly made and constructed movie . | This is really one of the better constructed movies I've seen in a while . Both the storytelling and style of the movie can be called unique . It starts mixing reality with fiction and its hard to tell what really happened and what didn't . It features lots of ' what-if ' themes and the story is being rewritten in the ... |
483,985 | 1,416,505 | 33,028 | 9 | A great adventurous story ! | What really makes " The Sea Hawk " good is the great adventurous story . It's filled with action , romance and adventure . A true swashbuckler . Errol Flynn really is one superb hero . Not only has he got the right looks but he also was a very talented actor who unfortunately died far too early at the age of 50 . I als... |
484,333 | 1,416,505 | 266,543 | 9 | Who said fish are boring ? | Finding Nemo is a wonderful animated adventure movie that simply is irresistible for young as well as older persons . The most excellent thing about " Finding Nemo " is the perfect timing , just like in " Monsters , Inc " the jokes are extremely well placed in a quick pace and are good for more then just a few laughs... |
484,078 | 1,416,505 | 177,789 | 9 | Fun entertainment . | Galaxy Quest is an excellent feel good comedy that's enjoyable for the entire family . Even though the concept of the movie is not original anymore , the story is still enjoyable and fun enough , mainly thanks to the cast who seemed to be enjoying them selves during filming . Tim Allen is surprising good as " William... |
484,039 | 1,416,505 | 23,814 | 9 | Dangerous love . | This feels like a real modern movie even though it's a movie that got made in the old days and features a story that is set in a very specific time period , the story doesn't feel old because it isn't a formulaic movie that features the usual story . Just basically imaging a love-story version of " The Last Samurai " ,... |
484,918 | 1,416,505 | 208,092 | 9 | Awesome movie . | This is top-class entertainment . The movie is brilliantly constructed and has its own unique style . Both the story and characters are over-the-top and therefor also extremely fun . This is a movie were basically is very little wrong with . It's some perfect mindless entertainment but with a complicated storyline . So... |
484,857 | 1,416,505 | 266,697 | 9 | A movie of visual splendor and a mixture of styles . | This movie is a visual experience of different styles , all combined with also some trademark Tarantino elements . The movie is obviously a case of style over substance . In essence the movie is just a basic revenge flick without too much depth or meaning . This however is exactly like how Tarantino intended it to be .... |
484,494 | 1,416,505 | 50,539 | 9 | A special effects feast . | Along with " Jason and the Argonauts " ( 1963 ) this was one of the movies that had the biggest influence on the evolution of special effects . " The Incredible Shrinking Man " for me is a movie in which the story for me plays no importance at all . I just watch this movie to enjoy the early and many special effects . ... |
484,186 | 1,416,505 | 23,969 | 9 | A true great classic comedy from the Marx brothers . | The movie features all kinds of different comedy . Slapstick , comical dialog , subtle humor , exaggerated staged humor , funny musical numbers tons of sexual innuendo . It's a broad mixture of high class comedy elements that were common and know back in the ' 30's . It basically makes this movie fun to watch for every... |
484,929 | 1,416,505 | 37,101 | 9 | A great movie within its genre , due to its solidly written story . | This is a real old fashioned film noir alright . No way a movie like this could be made - and work out as well now days . This movie is even more film noir-like than most genre movies I have seen . What makes this movie even more film-noir like than others is its story . It has an incredible amount of twists and turns ... |
484,248 | 1,416,505 | 59,243 | 9 | Great non-stop fun ! | I wish I had discovered this movie earlier ! I haven't laughed that much during a movie since a long time . The movie was extremely fun and entertaining . The humor is slapstick / cartoon like . It was like watching one of those old Hannah-Barbera cartoons . The comical sequences were constructed extremely well and the... |
484,665 | 1,416,505 | 167,404 | 10 | An original new kind of horror movie . | With the coming of " The Sixth Sense " M . Night Shyamalan ( how to pronounce it , I have no idea ! ) introduced a new kind of horror . The kind of horror that is more psychological than it is scary , although " The Sixth Sense " still has some good scares ! The movie inspired many other movies like for example " The O... |
483,771 | 1,416,505 | 112,864 | 10 | Truly one of the best action movies ever made . | Who would had ever guessed that after the disappointing standard action sequel " Die Hard 2 " , the third entry in the Die Hard-series would be such an infinite amount times better and actual be amongst one of the best action movies ever made . Yes , I even find this movie to be better than the first " Die Hard " movie... |
485,037 | 1,416,505 | 147,612 | 10 | How was this movie overlooked by the Academy ? - One of the most brilliant movies of the ' 90's . | How come that this movie was completely overlooked by most big award ceremonies ? Probably because of its controversial subjects . It's brilliantly written and directed and brilliantly acted out by its cast members . It's perhaps the most overlooked movies from the ' 90's and is on a level of brilliance I haven't seen ... |
485,115 | 1,416,505 | 386,470 | 10 | Believe it or not , it's one of my favorite movies . | How good can a Star Wars fan film get ? Want to know the answer ? Then go and watch " The Formula " ! Problem with many Star Wars fan films is that many of them are the same and are basically a lame excuse to do a lightsaber duel , which are mostly set in a forest . " The Formula " perfectly spoofs this but without mak... |
484,787 | 1,416,505 | 21,884 | 10 | Powerful emotional horror classic . | The movie its strength is not in the horror but in the characters . The Frankenstein creature is a great tragic character and the emotions in this movie are really powerful . The Frankenstein monster is the most classic horror monster in my opinion . Yes , I'm a bigger fan of the Dracula character and movies but there ... |
484,471 | 1,416,505 | 91,149 | 10 | A forgotten Disney masterpiece . | This is probably one of the most unknown Disney classic . For the time the movie was quite new and revolutionary and it doesn't quite fit in with the other movies Disney made in that period . , perhaps that's the reason why it has been forgotten . But " The Great Mouse Detective " deserves to be known and seen . The ch... |
485,478 | 1,416,505 | 65,207 | 10 | Fantastic stuff ! | This is one of the first real action movies as we know it today , ever made . The movie has lots of explosions and gun - and fist fights . The story is told in a fast pace with lots of cuts , even though the movie itself isn't short at all ( 158 minutes . ) . Even though it is still a war movie , this movie isn't as he... |
484,785 | 1,416,505 | 26,138 | 10 | Horror with depth . | This movie is absolutely beautiful ! The story is highly original ( especially considering that this is a sequel ) and extremely well executed . I'm not sure if its fair to call it better than its predecessor " Frankenstein " , since the both are hard to compare in my opinion . They are different of each other in quite... |
484,502 | 1,416,505 | 167,261 | 10 | Absolutely , totally fantastic ! | Watching this movie is like watching a 179 or 223 minutes long action sequence . The pace is incredibly high . Alright I have to admit that the Extended Edition of the " The Lord of the Rings : The Two Towers " takes an awful lot of this pace away and make some of the scene's unnecessary long and the scene's with Treeb... |
484,863 | 1,416,505 | 167,260 | 10 | The perfect ending for a great trilogy ! | Wow , what a movie ! It's not only the best of " The Lord of the Rings " trilogy , it also is one of the best movies of the past couple of years . " The Lord of the Rings : The Return of the King " is a totally spectacular movie . It has some of the most amazing battle scene's in movie history . The word spectacular is... |
484,380 | 1,416,505 | 52,618 | 10 | Truly a classic epic ! | Ben-Hur is the mother of epic movies ! Everything about it is big and brilliant . This is one of the few classic movie that has stand the test of time . Even now the movie is spectacular , grand and breathtaking . Even the acting is timeless . Despite it's long running time it never gets close of getting boring . It's ... |
483,955 | 1,416,505 | 61,418 | 10 | An essential ' 60's viewing . | This movie is among the best of the ' 60's . It's a definite must see due to its magnificent acting and compelling storytelling . " Bonnie and Clyde " is a very entertaining movie and tells the somewhat changed and romanticized true story of the famous bank robbing couple and their gang . The story is brought lightly a... |
485,362 | 1,416,505 | 21,749 | 10 | Blink once and you'll miss something funny ! | The jokes and comical moments are all performed in such an incredible high pace and very well timed and choreographed . The comical moments follow each other very rapidly . Big over-the-top hilarious situations as well as small subtle ones . You have no time to think about the one joke , since the next one is already o... |
485,484 | 1,416,505 | 87,800 | 10 | A real horror classic and among the best of all time . | This movie might very well be one of the best horror movies of all time , together with movies like " Poltergeist " , " Dawn of the Dead ( 1978 ) " " The Exorcist " and " The Texas Chain Saw Massacre ( 1974 ) " . I didn't expected it to be but this movie was just brilliant . Certainly the best slasher movie ever made .... |
484,327 | 1,416,505 | 17,836 | 10 | Brilliantly constructed silent comedy short with Laurel & Hardy for the first time together as a comical duo . | This is not the funniest Laurel & Hardy comedy short but still it's a great movie due to the way the movie is constructed . This was not the first movie with starring both Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy in it ( they both appeared before in the movies " 45 Minutes from Hollywood " and " A Lucky dog " . ) but it was the fi... |
484,902 | 1,416,505 | 105,236 | 10 | A piece of movie history . | By owning this movie you own a little piece of movie history . The absolute most fantastic thing about " Reservoir Dogs " is the brilliant dialog . The movie is one big memorable quote and it alone makes the movie more then worth to watch . Another wonderful thing about the movie are the characters . Rarely has there e... |
483,961 | 1,416,505 | 66,434 | 10 | A piece of art ! | This movie truly is a piece of cinematic science-fiction art . People who say the last couple of years that George Lucas is a bad writer and director should be forced to go and watch this movie . The movie is very artistic and therefor is not really that watchable for everybody . Fans of the science-fiction genre howev... |
484,858 | 1,416,505 | 417 | 10 | An adventure of great proportions . | Possibly the first science-fiction movie ever created , " Le Voyage dans la lune " tells us the story of a group of astronomers who travel to the moon by being shot in a capsule from a giant cannon . More than 100 years later , the movie is still adventurous and spectacular to watch . The movie has a great and intrigui... |
484,232 | 1,416,505 | 108,550 | 10 | A movie with characters in their purest form . | In " What's Eating Gilbert Grape " we get to see different characters in their purest form . All of the characters are understandable and easy to relate to in all of their actions . It makes the emotions and drama elements in this movie feel all very real . For fans of Scandinavian cinema this movie is nothing new . Mo... |
484,585 | 1,416,505 | 43,456 | 10 | It still is one of the best alien ' invasion ' movies ever made . | This movie is so totally refreshing different than its fellow genre movies from the ' 50's ! Everyone has a certain images in their mind about ' 50's science-fiction movies , with flying saucers of which you can see the wires , aliens with bad make-up effects and simple plots . The type of Ed Wood movies . " The Day th... |
485,190 | 1,416,505 | 69,947 | 10 | Fantastic thriller ! | No matter how often I watch this movie , I just never grow tired of it . It's a movie that I always enjoy watching and I find it to be a very entertaining one . The movie has a wonderful story . It's also an unique one , because it for once focuses more on the bad guy than on the good guys . The movie follows the assas... |
485,415 | 1,416,505 | 69,995 | 10 | A classic in every sense of the word . | I think it is bad luck that " Don't Look Now " was released in the same year as " The Exorcist " , or else this might be a better known and more appreciated one of a kind masterpiece . " Don't Look Now " is an horror movie but not one like you would expect it to be . It isn't a movie that scares you with some scene's ,... |
484,751 | 1,416,505 | 74,285 | 10 | Horror in a way you wouldn't expect . Sensible and unpleasant . An unique one in its genre . | The movie is often classified as an horror movie and it also is on basically every horror top-list published , but truth is that this movie isn't really an horror movie in terms of having all of the standard required horror elements . I just say this as a little warning , since I have the impression that lots of people... |
484,348 | 1,416,505 | 4,972 | 10 | It still is the best movie about the civil war ever made . | Being far from the most politically correct or historical important movie about the civil war , it still remains the best made and told movies , especially considering that this movie was made in 1915 . The movie its story is very well told and beautiful brought to the screen . The style of film-making was truly revolu... |
484,172 | 1,416,505 | 82,971 | 10 | Here it is , the most entertaining movie of all time ! | Never has there been - and most likely there will never be again , such an entertaining movie as " Raiders of the Lost Ark " . Even though I still regard " Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade " a better movie , " Raiders of the Lost Ark " remains the most entertaining one of the Indy movies . The movie is a wonderfully ... |
485,445 | 1,416,505 | 91,763 | 10 | Still the best Vietnam war movie . | This still is the best and most powerful and gritty Vietnam war movie around . It's a war movie that shocks and confronts not necessarily with its graphic images but more with its psychological elements . It shows what a war can do to common man and how it can make and break characters . So above everything , " Platoon... |
483,924 | 1,416,505 | 78,748 | 10 | When science-fiction meets horror . . . | Every now and then a daring combination has a good and unique movie as a result . " Alien " is one of those movies , along with it's sequel " Aliens " that mixes science-fiction , horror and action . The best thing about the movie is its atmosphere which makes it notable that Ridley Scott is the one that directed this ... |
484,014 | 1,416,505 | 113,189 | 10 | Not just one of the best Bond's but also one of the best action movies of all time . | I absolutely adore this movie . What a comeback for Bond , after the Timothy Dalton Bond's the franchise had been officially declared death by many and no one expected another Bond movie . This movie perfectly sets the mood for the future Bond movies for the 90's and this decade . The action is what makes this movie in... |
484,006 | 1,416,505 | 53,125 | 10 | Spectacular ! | Just like " Citizen Kane " , it's not exactly THE best movie ever made but still a very revolutionary and important one and above all , a real classic ! I think that " North by Northwest " can be compared to an early James Bond movie and can be regarded as one of the most early ' modern ' action movie . Some sequences ... |
485,283 | 1,416,505 | 57,012 | 10 | The only movie that makes you laugh at the end of the world . | This movie is absolutely brilliant ! It might not be THE best movie ever made but it certainly is one of the most entertaining and fun movies ever made . It isn't even Kubrick's best but it certainly is perhaps his most accessible and entertaining movie . The movie its story and humor are subtle and perfectly makes fun... |
484,922 | 1,416,505 | 29,923 | 10 | Brillaintly constructed comedy . | This really is one of my favorite Laurel & Hardy movies . Laurel & Hardy were at their best and prime in the ' 20's and the early ' 30's . Most movies made after that were slightly disappointing . This movie however is a wonderful exception to that . What makes this movie so incredibly good and fun , is the well constr... |
483,927 | 1,416,505 | 39,689 | 10 | One of the best film-noirs I have ever seen . | The movie is a classic in every sense of the word . The best things about film-noirs is always the atmosphere and " Out of the Past " is filled with fantastic atmosphere thanks to good sets , cinematography story and acting . All of these things combined make this movie one of the greatest of its kind . The story is ty... |
483,746 | 1,416,505 | 22,100 | 10 | Chilling . | This movie has an extremely realistic feeling and provides a view on a child-murderer and the effect it has on the normal everyday society of Germany in 1930 . It's one of the most chilling movies I have ever seen along with movies like " Psycho " and " Se7en " . The storytelling in this movie is extremely good . It's ... |
484,616 | 1,416,505 | 12,532 | 10 | The drama of two sisters in the midst of the French revolution . | Basiscly in essence this movie is a very original and pleasant take on the French revolution , when the monarchy got replaced by the republic . The story is told through the viewpoint of two sister , of which one is also blind , who get separated , during the events that lead up to the eventual French revolution and it... |
484,915 | 1,416,505 | 133,093 | 10 | The most influential and refreshing science-fiction movie since " Star Wars " . | The Matrix has redefined the science-fiction genre . Previous to this movie , most science-fiction movies consisted out of scene's in space with spacecrafts , aliens , all set in a futuristic world . Most movies that tried to be different from this , mostly failed . " The Matrix " does however does not fail and it re... |
483,861 | 1,416,505 | 18,217 | 10 | Such a beautiful and realistic made movie . | all of the places and rooms still existed at the time and were basically still in the same state as 10 years before , during the actual events . It of course helps to give the movie a certain bit of extra and adds to the realism of it all . Most of the people in this movie actually participated during the real revoluti... |
485,494 | 1,416,505 | 338,768 | 10 | Wow , what fun ! | This isn't just the best of " The Hire " series of shorts , it also is one of the best and certainly most fun movies that I have seen in a while ! I think I had a smile on my face throughout the entire movie . It was incredible fun and had some great dialog and hilarious moments . Especially the ending with Marilyn Man... |
484,656 | 1,416,505 | 79,116 | 10 | Classic ! And may I say best prison movie ever ? | There are many who regard " The Shawshank Redemption " as the ultimate prison movie . I seriously don't . In terms of atmosphere and realism , this is a more superior movie . Also when you watch this movie it becomes obvious to you how incredibly much Stephen King ' copied ' ( and not even subtly , he basically copied ... |
484,937 | 1,416,505 | 117,631 | 10 | One of the great biopics . | Shine is one of the great movies of the ' 90's , that became an unexpected success in 1996 and was the movie that earned Geoffrey Rush his as of yet only Oscar win and got the movie 6 more Oscar nominations , including best director and best picture . The movie shows how Australian born David Helfgott gets formed and... |
484,002 | 1,416,505 | 67,116 | 10 | The ultimate cop movie . | My favorite movie of all time " A Clockwork Orange " lost at the best picture Acadamy Award ceremony against this movie . However looking at this movie I can't say that it's undeserved , for " The French Connection " truly is one of the best movies from at least the seventies and maybe of all time . It most certainly i... |
485,509 | 1,416,505 | 75,005 | 10 | Great movie with a great story ! | Unlike some other horror movies , the creators actually spend lots of time and effort on the story development . " The Omen " is not really a scary movie . There isn't really any gore and / or monsters , it has a great and unique story instead that makes the movie an unique and original one with a nice ending . Some of... |
484,504 | 1,416,505 | 109,707 | 10 | A brilliant movie about a not so brilliant man . | When you see an Indian organist playing in a meat-house with the meat still cooling in it , while a transvestite is performing a belly dance without his teeth and is making Bela Lugosi swing , you know it . . . you're watching a Tim Burton movie . The movie brilliantly tells the story about Edward D . Wood Jr . widely ... |
484,606 | 1,416,505 | 25,591 | 10 | Perhaps the most perfect Laurel & Hardy comical short . | I absolute adore this movie . It's quite a dark comical one but still features all of the typical humor and slapstick moments . Finally the boys meet some persons who are even crazier than they are . Mae Busch as the widow and Jack Barty as Jitters are some real good crazy and scary persons . They give the boys a hard ... |
485,191 | 1,416,505 | 78,875 | 10 | The rise and fall of fascism and Nazism , seen through the eyes of a boy who refuses to grow . | I always like it when a movie shows things from a new and original point of view . This time we get to see WW II through the eyes of the ' normal ' German citizens . I however would not classify " Die Blechtrommel " as a war movie but more is a dramatic character study about an unusual boy with unusual powers in an unu... |
484,474 | 1,416,505 | 90,605 | 10 | Intense ! | Next to " Star Wars : Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back " and " The Godfather Part II " the best sequel ever made ! Take the tension from " Alien " and add to that some serious kick ass marines , the result is " Aliens " . And my God , what a fine movie this ! In some ways it's even more scary then " Alien " , the te... |
484,549 | 1,416,505 | 20,629 | 10 | Among the greatest of all time . | There were some anti-war movies before this one but none of them hit the mark - and made its point so well such as this one . It's still one of most powerful movies ever made , out of any genre or time period . And not just that , the movie is also really among the best ever made . The movie concentrates on a group of ... |
485,463 | 1,416,505 | 78,935 | 10 | Now that's more like it ! | There are lots of cannibal movies over the years and they are all equally gory and provocative but yet also ridicules because of their overwritten silly stories with silly plot-lines and characters . This really is not the case " Cannibal Holocaust " , since it chooses an effective and realistic approach by partly tell... |
485,144 | 1,416,505 | 75,148 | 10 | Way more than just a sport movie . | This is easily the best sport movie ever made but the movie is way more than a boxing movie . It's also one of the best drama-movies I have ever seen . Reason why " Rocky " is a classic is of Sylvester Stallone . Believe it or not , he really deserved that Oscar nomination for best actor . Why ? Because he simply IS Ro... |
485,107 | 1,416,505 | 209,144 | 10 | Original movie-making at its very best . | Every now and then , an original concepts gets turned into an highly original movie . " Memento " is a fine example of original movie-making at its very best . It's impossible to fully describe what this movie is about . Best thing is to watch this movie with a clear head in order to follow the movie . But even then so... |
483,941 | 1,416,505 | 315,733 | 10 | Pure movie making at its very best . | This is pure movie making at its very best . The non-linear storytelling works perfect for the movie . The story is difficult to describe , also due to the fact that not everything is told chronological . The movie sounds difficult but it never becomes confusing . Everything is making sense and connected brilliantly to... |
485,003 | 1,416,505 | 121,765 | 10 | So beautiful that it almost makes me cry ! | After a slightly disappointing but still good Episode I George Lucas strikes back in a way I couldn't possibly had imagined ! Same as all the Star wars movies , this film is full with unforgettable brilliant characters and amazing events . The action is simply superb and something you've never seen before . The actors ... |
484,017 | 1,416,505 | 121,766 | 10 | Fans will love it . . . most ' casual ' viewers won't . | Let me start of by saying that I can understand why one would hate this movie . If you're not really familiar with the five other Star Wars movies and franchise , there won't be an awful lot for you to enjoy in this movie . And don't even think about seeing this movie if you haven't seen Episode I and II yet ! This mov... |
484,992 | 1,416,505 | 75,314 | 10 | An individual's fight - against loneliness and for justice . | Taxi Driver is a beautiful portrayed of an individual who tries to do things his way , in the hectic and dangerous New York of the ' 70's .

483,872 | 1,416,505 | 82,096 | 10 | Amazing movie ! | This is easily the best submarine movie ever made ! And even better , it's the best European movie of all time and maybe even one of the best war films . This is one of the only movies that shows the story from the " other side " . You can actually feel along with the Germans and you have sympathy for them . This is be... |
483,813 | 1,416,505 | 114,369 | 10 | Dark and disturbing thriller that will stay with you for ever . | Rarely there has been a movie with such a good dark and chilling atmosphere . I even see this movie more as an horror movie than as a thriller because of that . " Se7en " is unique in many ways . The movies mood is already set right from the beginning on . The movie starts dark , intense , chilling and mysterious , a m... |
484,658 | 1,416,505 | 17,136 | 10 | The " Blade Runner " of the ' 20's . | This truly is a classic masterpiece and honestly one of the best movies ever made . The story is brilliant and the visuals amazing . I have seen the German 147 minutes version of the movie , without subtitles . Yes it's a long watch but it's worth every second of it . Basically only reason why the movie is so long is b... |
484,721 | 1,416,505 | 24,601 | 10 | Might very well be the very best full length Laurel & Hardy picture around . | This movie combines everything that made other Laurel & Hardy pictures so great and such a delight to watch ; slapstick humor , crazy situations , well written dialog and a good comedy story . This movie has it all and therefor this movie can truly be regarded as perhaps the most definite Laurel & Hardy picture around ... |
485,246 | 1,416,505 | 40,506 | 10 | What a cast , what a director , what a movie ! | The movie got based on a stage-play by Maxwell Anderson . The movie its story and setting really all have the typical stage-play ingredients but thank goodness the movie does not feel like a stage-play .

485,114 | 1,416,505 | 66,921 | 10 | The art of violence . | A Clockwork Orange is a one of a kind masterpiece . It's odd , intelligent , funny and sickening . Kubrick at his best !

It of course also has to do with the fact that this movie was made at the time of the cold war , so this movie wa... |
484,793 | 1,416,505 | 56,172 | 10 | No words can describe this movie . | The word brilliant doesn't even come close to describe this movie . It's beyond brilliant !

Along with " The Sugarland Express " this is the movie that can be held responsible for Spielberg's breakthrough . How often does it happen that a TV movie gets a thearetical release ?

485,512 | 1,416,505 | 13,442 | 10 | The mother of horror movies . | This movie was really impressive and quite an experience to see .

485,370 | 1,416,505 | 24,852 | 10 | Way more than just another Laurel & Hardy movie . | I expected just another Laurel & Hardy slapstick comedy but instead got something that surpassed all my expectations .

484,329 | 1,416,505 | 44,121 | 10 | A rare ' serious ' science-fiction movie from the ' 50's . | Let's face it , most of the science-fiction movies made in the ' 50's were utter trash . When you think of ' 50's science-fiction movies , you think of Ed Wood like movies with laughable special effects , a weak story and below average B-movie stars and persons in rubber-suits . Not really the kind of movie to take ver... |
485,220 | 1,416,505 | 24,844 | 10 | Realistic poetry from Jean Vigo . | Jean Vigo was a director who now more is being appreciated then during his lifetime .

483,950 | 1,416,505 | 308,644 | 10 | Pure movie magic . | Drama's normally always have the awful tendency of over-dramatizing moments .

484,221 | 1,416,505 | 28,201 | 10 | The story of a cheat . | This is a rather interesting and originally told movie . It focuses on the life of a charming scoundrel .

484,118 | 1,416,505 | 75,860 | 10 | One of the most unique and essential science-fiction viewings . | What makes " Close Encounters of the Third Kind " a great - and one of the best science-fiction movies is its totally serious and honest open approach of the genre . Something that really wasn't too common yet in the ' 70's . Science-fiction really wasn't regarded as a particular good genre or one that was to be taken ... |

484,496 | 1,416,505 | 120,815 | 10 | The movie got me interested in WWII . | Before I saw " Saving Private Ryan " I wasn't interested in anything WWII related .

And then I saw... |
484,932 | 1,416,505 | 266,308 | 10 | A brilliant and unique treat . | All you need for a great movie is a good and original concept . At least that is what this movie suggests .

484,497 | 1,416,505 | 110,912 | 10 | Brilliant story telling makes this movie an unique one . | Quentin Tarantino had done it again . If you thought he would just be an one day fly after " Reservoir Dogs " , you couldn't be more wrong . Once again just like in " Reservoir Dogs " the storytelling is unique .

470,080 | 1,532,177 | 95,655 | 1 | Freaked Me Out | Why do people class this as a " Feature film " ? It's nothing of the sort , it's just an ego trip for someone who's had too much excess in life and has started to believe the hype .

Bloody Crap More Like | I don't rate JK Rowling as a writer so when the hype machine stated that HARRY POTTER AND THE PHILOSOPHER'S STONE ( As it's called in Britain ) was going to be faithful to the book I thought this was a film that wasn't worth seeing but I decided to give it a chance , after all I hadn't expected much from THE FELLOWSHIP... |
