The 365 days of the year list.
Originally, I started to catalogue all the movies I love and adore, and then I wanted to list them in order and review them. But, the list was getting incredibly long and as I remembered films, I edited and edited.
So I have simplified it to one year. If you had one year in your life where you had to watch a film every day, say due to a zombie outbreak or an apocalypse... these would be the films you would want to stock up on.
This has taken me weeks to compile, being the film *beep* that I am, I intend on documenting my thoughts and ideas for the films I love.
Feel free to comment or argue with me on points or ideas that I make. That way, this list can only get better.

- DirectorRidley ScottStarsHarrison FordRutger HauerSean YoungA blade runner must pursue and terminate four replicants who stole a ship in space and have returned to Earth to find their creator.Yes, this is my number one top movie. One of the biggest and most problematic productions ever, was a box office failure (Or at least, financial failure).
Lovely on the eyes, easy on the ears, characters you can touch, tension you can smell... Overall a well written, brilliantly crafted, perfectly scored masterpiece. - DirectorQuentin TarantinoStarsJohn TravoltaUma ThurmanSamuel L. JacksonThe lives of two mob hitmen, a boxer, a gangster and his wife, and a pair of diner bandits intertwine in four tales of violence and redemption.I distinctively remember this film opening my eyes to what filmmaking was all about. I watched this film in a friends and I remember thinking at that moment in time that I wanted to make films, I didn't do it of course, but I hope to ratify that in the coming years.
This film is total style, and it's not a cast of style over substance, much like a lot of Guy Ritchie movies (who basically thinks of himself as the English Tarrantino), but this fllm uses it's stylistic elements to further tell the story and drive the misconstrued plot.
The elements in this film, again, are borrowed and you can see that for all to see, Tarrantino does the wonderful thing that educational establishments require you to do when creating an original piece of work, quote your sources. Tarrantino does this in an eloquent way and almost makes it an art form, the film is full of low level, subconcious and subversive quotes.
We have it all, On the Waterfront, Lili, The Great Train Robbery, Kiss Me Deadly, Psycho, 8 1/2, even Batman....
Seriously, this film is so clever in it's production, it's unblievable, it's like a scrap book for film lovers. This film shows Tarrantino's raw love for film, it shows how much he loves his art and shows that he is not afraid to show his inspirations. - DirectorDavid FincherStarsBrad PittEdward NortonMeat LoafAn insomniac office worker and a devil-may-care soap maker form an underground fight club that evolves into much more.I didn't see this till 2002, my ex-gf at the time saw it with her friend and I was supposed to go, but I can't remember why I didn't.
This film left me speechless, I had saw the Citizen Kane of our time and I didn't even know it. For months after this film, all I could think about, was Fight Club, and I broke the first rule of Fight Club, which was in a strange kind of way, a clever bit of reverse psychology by the producers.
This is both Brad Pitt and Ed Norton's best film, hands down, their characters permeate through the screen and schlepp you into a world of intrigue, deception, reckless endangerment and soap. - DirectorBryan SingerStarsKevin SpaceyGabriel ByrneChazz PalminteriThe sole survivor of a pier shoot-out tells the story of how a notorious criminal influenced the events that began with five criminals meeting in a seemingly random police lineup.Kept me guessing till the very end. I remember my dad getting this on VHS from the car boot sale and saying it was a great film at the time, I didn't take his advice to watch it until 10 years later.
Another problematic production, went slightly over budget and there where problems in cast and in the crew. Brian Singer's first major film, which was a gamble by it's backers, a gamble that paid off.
If you haven't seen this film yet, you are stupid. - DirectorAlfred HitchcockStarsAnthony PerkinsJanet LeighVera MilesA Phoenix secretary embezzles $40,000 from her employer's client, goes on the run and checks into a remote motel run by a young man under the domination of his mother.When I first saw this I was about 10 and I remember that it was the first time I had heard of Alfred Hitchcock. I remember there was a book we had, (I can't remember the name though) and it had a lot of information about old movies, how they filmed them and *beep* like that.
I wish I could remember the name of that book. - DirectorJoel CoenEthan CoenStarsJeff BridgesJohn GoodmanJulianne MooreJeff "The Dude" Lebowski, mistaken for a millionaire of the same name, seeks restitution for his ruined rug and enlists his bowling buddies to help get it.When I first saw the Big Lebowski, I really didn't like it, I thought it was dull, unfunny, boring and self indulging. But something must have stuck inside me because I went out and bought the DVD when I first got my PS2 DVD player.
After a few more viewings I was hooked.
The comedy is a rather oblique mode of comedy, I now realise, that at the time, I just didn't "get it". It isn't supposed to be a dialogue driven comedy, the comedy derrives from the situations, the imperfections, the reactions and interactions of the characters and those situations that they put themselves in.
Made me look at comedy in a whole different perspective and showed me how subjective comedy can be.
This won't have you howling at the TV, but it will pleasure and tickle that part of the brain that makes us laugh. - DirectorLana WachowskiLilly WachowskiStarsKeanu ReevesLaurence FishburneCarrie-Anne MossWhen a beautiful stranger leads computer hacker Neo to a forbidding underworld, he discovers the shocking truth--the life he knows is the elaborate deception of an evil cyber-intelligence.I knew as soon as I saw the advert for this film that I was going to like it, I have always liked Sci-Fi and I have always liked Keanu Reeves as an actor, even in Johnny Mmenomic. Yes, Johnny Mmenonmicnic... Mic,...
I don't think this film needs much of an introduction, it's a fantasy dual world driven concept and the concept is what sells the film. The story is great too, but if you follow the breadcrumbs on this one, the last breadcrumb will be the concept.
Now, it's true, the Wachowski's just took a load of other good ideas, bunched them together and created a slightly westernised version of many of other asian concepts, stories, ideas and styles. But I don't mind, the film is just a squab of liquid lovely goodness... - DirectorRobin HardyStarsEdward WoodwardChristopher LeeDiane CilentoA puritan police sergeant arrives in a Scottish island village in search of a missing girl, who the pagan locals claim never existed.Again, only a recent film I had seen over the past few years.
I had always been aware of The Wicker Man, but I always thought it was a slight fad. When the *beep* Wicker Man came out there was an influx of interest in the old one and I always just thought it was due to that.
Then one night I was sitting there in the Woods' family household, on my PC and this was on in the background and I heard the song "Willow's Song", and immediately I flicked over to ITV4+1 to see the start.
This film always reminds me of the dangers of being an radical idealist. Now, whether the protagonist is a radical idealist is up to you, but this film's subtext for me is, "Don't *beep* about with people, especially Scottish people, especially Scottish people who have Christopher Reeve at their helm." - DirectorChristopher NolanStarsGuy PearceCarrie-Anne MossJoe PantolianoA man with short-term memory loss attempts to track down his wife's murderer.Memento is more of a work of art than a film to me. It employs a narrative structure that envelopes the story into some kind of mental mish mashed potatoe with chives and all that *beep*
It's a story, that is placed within a frame, inside of a scenario, aside of a situation, interwoven into a world.
Seriously, this is that good. My only criticism of this film would be the cast, I don't get that perfect cast feel that you sometimes get. What I mean to say is that, with the budget they had, they of course had to employ a means based cast, and that cast do brilliantly. But out of my top 10 films, this is the one film that I feel could have been cast with different actors, without much of a change in the characters.
(Does that make sense?, I don't know, I've been watching a lot of Jurassic Park recently.) - DirectorOrson WellesStarsOrson WellesJoseph CottenDorothy ComingoreFollowing the death of publishing tycoon Charles Foster Kane, reporters scramble to uncover the meaning of his final utterance: 'Rosebud.'I'm quite sure you know why this movie is here. Orson Welles broke all the rules and records with this little movie.
The word pioneer shouldn't appear on this list more than once, so here it is, Orson Welles is a pioneer, this movie is the proof. - DirectorMike LeighStarsDavid ThewlisLesley SharpKatrin CartlidgeAn unemployed Mancunian vents his rage on unsuspecting strangers as he embarks on a nocturnal London odyssey.THis is probably one of the hardest movies that you could watch. A man on a downward spiral, a long, long dark downward spiral.
Terrifically acted by David Thewliss, this movie stands out as one of Britains best iconic movies.
Watch it, watch it now. - DirectorMilos FormanStarsJack NicholsonLouise FletcherMichael BerrymanIn the Fall of 1963, a Korean War veteran and criminal pleads insanity and is admitted to a mental institution, where he rallies up the scared patients against the tyrannical nurse.I always hear people saying that this is an overrated movie, and if Jack Nicholson wasn't in it, it wouldn't be that good.
What is true is that Jack Nicholson is just the tip of the iceberg in this film, he is surrounded by a nicely peppered ensemble.
This film is a perfect example of how an ensemble works together to complement each other and highlight each others imperfections, insecurities, dreams and nightmares.
It is said that Michael Douglas was keen on playing the character of Mac, but handed it over to Jack Nicholson after his fathers wishes.
What a film, what a cast and what performances.
Especially the underrated performance of young Billy, Brad Douriff. - DirectorDanny BoyleStarsEwan McGregorEwen BremnerJonny Lee MillerRenton, deeply immersed in the Edinburgh drug scene, tries to clean up and get out despite the allure of drugs and the influence of friends.This film spawned a doldrum of various copies, *beep* copies at that... They even brought out a *beep* stage play of this film. But you can't fault this films raw and epic story.
However, again, the story is driven by the characters, much like the Usual Suspects, this film shares more with Usual Suspects than you may first think. Although it doesn't carry the same plot and story, the elements are all still there.
Watch this and Usual Suspects back to back and you will see what I mean, replace comedic value intrinsic in Trainspotting for the suspense and often confusing story telling apects of Usual Suspects, (as well as other elements), then you will see how similar in theory, these two flicks are. - DirectorQuentin TarantinoStarsHarvey KeitelTim RothMichael MadsenWhen a simple jewelry heist goes horribly wrong, the surviving criminals begin to suspect that one of them is a police informant.This really should be higher than it is, but in this list, it stands fair to say that this film isn't as good as some of the movies above.
The filmmakers handbook, this movie utilises some of the cleverest shots, production values and story devices in spades. Again, this is a highly tuned ensemble cast, and I would place my hand on my nuts and say that this must have been rehearsed over and over again. If it wasn't, then i'm a dogs leg and James Caan is toiletpaper. - DirectorPeter WeirStarsRobin WilliamsRobert Sean LeonardEthan HawkeMaverick teacher John Keating returns in 1959 to the prestigious New England boys' boarding school where he was once a star student, using poetry to embolden his pupils to new heights of self-expression.Dead Poet's Society is a coming of age movie about a lad who wants to break free, he doesn't want his world to rule his life, he wants his life to rule the world.
This is a perfect performance by an ensemble cast, I can't say there is a bad actor here, everyone's performance is of top quality, which is great. Even Ethan Hawke breaks a performance barrier here and truly shows why he became the actor that he did. - DirectorShane MeadowsStarsPaddy ConsidineGary StretchToby KebbellA disaffected soldier returns to his hometown to get even with the thugs who brutalized his mentally-challenged brother years ago.If you haven't seen this movie or heard of Shane Meadows, then let it be on your head.
The guy is a genius (even though I didn't like the semi-autobiographical "This is England" at all), I still won't hold it against him.
This film is the storymongers cookbook, you can almost tell that this guy had the story and concept first, then everything else fell into place.
It works because of it's raw functionality. It measures up to a lot of the films below this title because of that raw functionality.
A very English, very British and very Northern walk of life, no matter how deluded, strung out or sensationalist it may be. I also found myself laughing at bits that I shouldn't be laughing at, this film employed some very strong visual elements intended to shock the audience and it placed me in a place I haven't been for ages, a place where we go to, to hide our inner angst.
I always wondered if this was based on some sort of true story, or whether it was straight from the imagination of Paddy Considine and Shane Meadows, I wonder... - DirectorTim BurtonStarsJohnny DeppMartin LandauSarah Jessica ParkerAmbitious but troubled movie director Edward D. Wood Jr. tries his best to fulfill his dreams despite his lack of talent.The man, the logend told in story, by Johnny Depp.
Don't take this as said, I'm sure this has been Holly-wood-ised and I'm sure this isn't how Ed Wood truly was, but nevertheless this is a still a good story.
A true inspiration, this guy has inspired me to no ends. - DirectorChristopher NolanStarsLeonardo DiCaprioJoseph Gordon-LevittElliot PageA thief who steals corporate secrets through the use of dream-sharing technology is given the inverse task of planting an idea into the mind of a C.E.O., but his tragic past may doom the project and his team to disaster.A metaphor filled film. This film is directly influenced by Paprika an anime film, Christopher and Jonathon Nolan can say whatever they want, but Paprika came before Inception and there it is...
However, this film feels to me, to be a giant metaphor for life after death and the idea that we are in a world within a world, which directly flies in the face of certain religions and beliefs, but there you have it... For me, this film is just a bit more than a story and a concept, but a giant metaphor, one that no-one can prove or disprove, which brings us right back to square one. In an inceptionised kind of way of course.... - DirectorFrancis Ford CoppolaStarsGary OldmanWinona RyderAnthony HopkinsThe centuries old vampire Count Dracula comes to England to seduce his barrister Jonathan Harker's fiancée Mina Murray and inflict havoc in the foreign land.A classic story, retold in a manner befitting of the classical context. Gary Oldman's finest performance by far, if you disagree, that's fine, but he gives it all in here, a catalogue of emotions delivered in a box of tricks, which all together presents a character with a unique drive, for a ubiquitous need.
- DirectorJonathan DemmeStarsJodie FosterAnthony HopkinsScott GlennA young F.B.I. cadet must receive the help of an incarcerated and manipulative cannibal killer to help catch another serial killer, a madman who skins his victims.What is so creepy about this movie? Why is it such a good thriller?
Well, for a start, Jodie Foster being cast is nothing short of genius, she actually looks like a little girl lost, which is what she is supposed to be. Hannibal Lector is supposed to be her father figure and she is supposed to portray the little girl lost, a bit like Alice in Wonderland, which is a slightly metaphorical look at this film.
The one prime spark of genius in this film is the direct-to-camera acting. This has been used before in a few European (mostly French and German) films of the early 30's, but this was a revival of this method. A method which not only places the viewer in a certain perspective, as if they are exploring these characters, but draws the viewer in to analyse each of the characters.
Other films of late have tried to use this method, but no-one has hit it like Silence of the Lambs. - DirectorCameron CroweStarsTom CruisePenélope CruzCameron DiazA self-indulgent and vain publishing magnate finds his privileged life upended after a vehicular accident with a resentful lover.This is an excellent film. Simple as, Cameron Crowe has crafted an iconic and stylish cheesefest.
Tom Cruise is brilliant as the self styled David Aames, he fits the bill like an Australian boy in a shark. - DirectorJim SharmanStarsTim CurrySusan SarandonBarry BostwickA newly-engaged couple have a breakdown in an isolated area and must seek shelter at the bizarre residence of Dr. Frank-n-Furter.
- DirectorRichard KellyStarsJake GyllenhaalJena MaloneMary McDonnellAfter narrowly escaping a bizarre accident, a troubled teenager is plagued by visions of a man in a large rabbit suit who manipulates him to commit a series of crimes.
- DirectorSidney LumetStarsFaye DunawayWilliam HoldenPeter FinchA television network cynically exploits a deranged former anchor's ravings and revelations about the news media for its own profit, but finds that his message may be difficult to control.I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it any more.

- DirectorChristopher NolanStarsChristian BaleHugh JackmanScarlett JohanssonAfter a tragic accident, two stage magicians in 1890s London engage in a battle to create the ultimate illusion while sacrificing everything they have to outwit each other.What can I say?

- DirectorSteven SpielbergStarsSam NeillLaura DernJeff GoldblumA pragmatic paleontologist touring an almost complete theme park on an island in Central America is tasked with protecting a couple of kids after a power failure causes the park's cloned dinosaurs to run loose.
- DirectorRichard SchenkmanStarsDavid Lee SmithTony ToddJohn BillingsleyAn impromptu goodbye party for Professor John Oldman becomes a mysterious interrogation after the retiring scholar reveals to his colleagues he has a longer and stranger past than they can imagine.This is my little gem for you guys.
If you like story telling, you have to see this film. Simple as, the acting isn't the best I've seen, but the delivery of the story and the simplistic devices used here are... simply earth shattering...
Good performances, however, I must say, the Lead actor did slightly become very tedious in his portrayal after the first act. - DirectorClint EastwoodStarsSean PennTim RobbinsKevin BaconThe tragic murder of a 19-year-old girl reunites three childhood friends still living in Boston--the victim's gangster father, a detective, and the disturbed man they both suspect of killing her.This is in fact suprising to me that this movie is this high. But... This movie not only employs a brilliant cast, but employs some excellent modes for filmography.
Clint Eastwood's finest masterpiece in my opinion, even better than Million Dollar Baby, this movie has a certain spice that leaves a bitter taste in your mouth.
Simple people, with simple lives, having simple responses to difficult decisions. - DirectorSam MendesStarsKevin SpaceyAnnette BeningThora BirchA sexually frustrated suburban father has a mid-life crisis after becoming infatuated with his daughter's best friend.
- DirectorRichard LinklaterStarsKeanu ReevesWinona RyderRobert Downey Jr.An undercover cop in a not-too-distant future becomes involved with a dangerous new drug and begins to lose his own identity as a result.This movie has a large part in my small heart.
A very large part, not only is this movie stylistically perfect, but visually it ogre's in your eyes like a maggot in an apple.
Philip K. Dick's story adapted for a generation which knows nothing about the dangers and thrills of sacrifice, the sacrifice of your mind and the sacrifice of your soul for the purposes of... well... nothing... - DirectorPark Chan-wookStarsChoi Min-sikYoo Ji-taeKang Hye-jeongAfter being kidnapped and imprisoned for fifteen years, Oh Dae-Su is released, only to find that he must track down his captor in five days.

- DirectorTerry GilliamStarsJohn NevilleEric IdleSarah PolleyAn account of Baron Munchausen's supposed travels and fantastical experiences across late 18th-century Europe with his band of misfits.What the hell, why is this so low in my list??? This is nowhere near an August(Get it?) film...
Get up there in the top 100 yer bum! - DirectorJames CameronStarsArnold SchwarzeneggerLinda HamiltonMichael BiehnA human soldier is sent from 2029 to 1984 to stop an almost indestructible cyborg killing machine, sent from the same year, which has been programmed to execute a young woman whose unborn son is the key to humanity's future salvation.
- DirectorJohn WooStarsJohn TravoltaNicolas CageJoan AllenTo foil a terrorist plot, FBI agent Sean Archer assumes the identity of the criminal Castor Troy who murdered his son through facial transplant surgery, but the crook wakes up prematurely and vows revenge.A highly overrated film, only here for it's over exuberant filmography and sensationalist style.
John Woo, have a poo! - DirectorMike LeighStarsImelda StauntonJim BroadbentHeather CraneyAbortionist Vera Drake finds her beliefs and practices clash with the mores of 1950s Britain--a conflict that leads to tragedy for her family.
- DirectorRon HowardStarsRussell CroweEd HarrisJennifer ConnellyA mathematical genius, John Nash made an astonishing discovery early in his career and stood on the brink of international acclaim. But the handsome and arrogant Nash soon found himself on a harrowing journey of self-discovery.
- DirectorFrank OzStarsSteve MartinMichael CaineGlenne HeadlyTwo con men try to settle their rivalry by betting on who can swindle a young American heiress out of fifty thousand dollars first.If you want to see a well scripted, well acted and well directed comedy film. This is it.
It has the perfect comedy formula and has a very English feel to it, Steve Martin's best film by far, before he went awful.
Michael Caine is also excellent in this playing the Tom half in Tom and Jerry.
Look out for Rod Stewart's daughter who plays the girl Janet Colgate in it... - DirectorTim BurtonStarsMichael KeatonJack NicholsonKim BasingerThe Dark Knight of Gotham City begins his war on crime with his first major enemy being Jack Napier, a criminal who becomes the clownishly homicidal Joker.
- DirectorJohn HughesStarsSteve MartinJohn CandyLaila RobinsA Chicago advertising man must struggle to travel home from New York for Thanksgiving, with a lovable oaf of a shower-curtain-ring salesman as his only companion.A perfect comedy, erect with the perfect american comedy formula.

- DirectorCurtis HansonStarsKevin SpaceyRussell CroweGuy PearceAs corruption grows in 1950s Los Angeles, three policemen - one strait-laced, one brutal, and one sleazy - investigate a series of murders with their own brand of justice.The movie with names, lots of names, too many names to mention. If you don't like names, don't watch this movie.

- DirectorGeorge A. RomeroStarsDavid EmgeKen ForeeScott H. ReinigerDuring an escalating zombie epidemic, two Philadelphia SWAT team members, a traffic reporter and his TV executive girlfriend seek refuge in a secluded shopping mall.A nice little film about the dangers of consumerism. This is George A. Romero's ballad, his cistene chapel.
The characters, dialogue and acting isn't the best, but this movie makes up for it in concept, story arc, production values and visual aspects. - DirectorNeil JordanStarsStephen ReaJaye DavidsonForest WhitakerA British soldier kidnapped by the IRA soon befriends one of his captors, who then becomes drawn into the soldier's world.

- DirectorPeter JacksonStarsElijah WoodIan McKellenOrlando BloomA meek Hobbit from the Shire and eight companions set out on a journey to destroy the powerful One Ring and save Middle-earth from the Dark Lord Sauron.This should be here, because it is an awesome, groundbreaking film. It's younger brothers, shouldn't. This film is the cheese, the biscuits and the pickle... Fantastical overextended characters with great dialogue and acting... The world Pierre Jackson has made makes you want to cuddle up in a sleeping bag and crap yourself everywhere...
