- DirectorFrank DarabontStarsTim RobbinsMorgan FreemanBob GuntonOver the course of several years, two convicts form a friendship, seeking consolation and, eventually, redemption through basic compassion.So what if it's already well loved and regarded a classic? This remains my favourite film ever for so many - so many - reasons.
- 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.The atmosphere, the characters, the music, the bowling, it's so gooooooooooood.
- DirectorJohn HughesStarsMatthew BroderickAlan RuckMia SaraA popular high school student, admired by his peers, decides to take a day off from school and goes to extreme lengths to pull it off, to the chagrin of his Dean, who'll do anything to stop him.Life moves pretty fast, but my love for this film will never leave fast. This film is a joy to watch. It's a movie that reminds me of how life can be fun if you treat it like it's at the palm of your hand. Ferris Bueller breaking the fourth wall is something I literally idolised from the first time I watched it. For that reason, this film stays as not just a classic, or a big classic but really, honestly a true classic to me and easily the best piece of cinema to exist in the 1980s.
- 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.You can say whatever about its complexity, but this film is something that will stick with my teenage years. Absolute banger and life-changing.
- DirectorKôji ShiraishiStarsJin MurakiRio KannoTomono KugaA documentary filmmaker explores seemingly unrelated paranormal incidents connected by the legend of an ancient demon called the "kagutaba."This film is everything I want so see in a film. It's hard ranking favourite films, but this is just amazing. Much love.
- DirectorCharlie KaufmanStarsPhilip Seymour HoffmanSamantha MortonMichelle WilliamsA theatre director struggles with his work, and the women in his life, as he creates a life-size replica of New York City inside a warehouse as part of his new play.This film tore me to pieces when I watched it. An emotional masterpiece.
- DirectorDavid F. SandbergStarsAnthony LaPagliaSamara LeeMiranda OttoTwelve years after the tragic death of their little girl, a doll-maker and his wife welcome a nun and several girls from a shuttered orphanage into their home, where they become the target of the doll-maker's possessed creation, Annabelle.This film inspires me so much (especially with writing), it reminds me that movies can be scary and tension-building, heebejeebee, but also downright stylish, cool and atmospheric.
- DirectorSteven SpielbergStarsHenry ThomasDrew BarrymorePeter CoyoteA troubled child summons the courage to help a friendly alien escape from Earth and return to his home planet.Needs no comment.
- DirectorSam MendesStarsKevin SpaceyAnnette BeningThora BirchA sexually frustrated suburban father has a mid-life crisis after becoming infatuated with his daughter's best friend.I understand that there's a lot of controversy surrounding this film, but this movie blew me away.
- DirectorMark WatersStarsLindsay LohanJonathan BennettRachel McAdamsCady Heron is a hit with The Plastics, the A-list girl clique at her new school, until she makes the mistake of falling for Aaron Samuels, the ex-boyfriend of alpha Plastic Regina George.Kevin G is a lad ;).
- DirectorSpike LeeStarsDanny AielloOssie DavisRuby DeeOn the hottest day of the year on a street in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn, everyone's hate and bigotry smolders and builds until it explodes into violence.Fight the power that be. This film will probably give me nostalgia in the future, it's such a good watch.
- DirectorRichard MarquandStarsMark HamillHarrison FordCarrie FisherAfter rescuing Han Solo from Jabba the Hutt, the Rebel Alliance attempt to destroy the second Death Star, while Luke struggles to help Darth Vader back from the dark side.I love Star Wars prequels and originals, but this film is my absolute favourite thing that George Lucas has ever created and birthed. Ah, the mem of the ries.
- DirectorRobert ZemeckisStarsMichael J. FoxChristopher LloydLea ThompsonMarty McFly, a 17-year-old high school student, is accidentally sent 30 years into the past in a time-traveling DeLorean invented by his close friend, the maverick scientist Doc Brown.This one I was always expecting to be somewhere amongst my favourites and here is its place, sitting firmly and comfortably.
- DirectorTom HollandStarsCatherine HicksChris SarandonAlex VincentA struggling single mother unknowingly gifts her son a doll imbued with a serial killer's consciousness.This film scared me, then made love it. This film is a big part of me becoming a film enjoyer and will always remind me of getting terrified of it as a child and then it being part of why I write some stuff. This film taught me that good ideas are good ideas in the movie industry, and that with ideas, you can have great fun writing.
- DirectorPete DocterRonnie Del CarmenStarsAmy PoehlerBill HaderLewis BlackAfter young Riley is uprooted from her Midwest life and moved to San Francisco, her emotions - Joy, Fear, Anger, Disgust and Sadness - conflict on how best to navigate a new city, house, and school.Memories.
- DirectorTodd SolondzStarsJane AdamsJon LovitzPhilip Seymour HoffmanThe lives of several individuals intertwine as they go about their lives in their own unique ways, engaging in acts which society as a whole might find disturbing in a desperate search for human connection.This film disturbed me from the first time I'd heard of it. It took just one image of the character of Bill in a car with Johnny's character to absolutely frighten me. This movie is so interesting yet so disturbing and disgusting. I haven't watched it all, but I've watched pretty much all the horrible scenes (the Bill Maplewood scenes). The scene with Bill and Billy near the end is stuff of nightmares and the drug sandwich and... there's so much that's nasty about it. But I do think that this film is very, very important as it really tackles issues that wouldn't be tackled in every mainstream film. I think we all need to be aware that the world is an absolutely amazing place however sadly some things that are beyond sick and horrific happen in it. Also, I don't see how anybody could find any of the Bill and Billy scenes funny. I know it uses words like "jerk" and stuff but that doesn't mean it's meant for comedy! This film is really something and I will never forget that horrible image of Bill in the car (you know).
- DirectorJames WanStarsVera FarmigaPatrick WilsonMadison WolfeEd and Lorraine Warren travel to North London to help a single mother raising four children alone in a house plagued by a supernatural spirit.This film is like a rollercoaster.
- DirectorStanley KubrickStarsKeir DulleaGary LockwoodWilliam SylvesterAfter uncovering a mysterious artifact buried beneath the Lunar surface, a spacecraft is sent to Jupiter to find its origins: a spacecraft manned by two men and the supercomputer HAL 9000.Wow. No matter how much of a difficult person Kubrick was, this movie is the fluffy beans.
- DirectorDanny BoyleLoveleen TandanStarsDev PatelFreida PintoSaurabh ShuklaA teenager from the slums of Mumbai becomes a contestant on the show 'Kaun Banega Crorepati?' When interrogated under suspicion of cheating, he revisits his past, revealing how he had all the answers.I honestly didn't want to go to the toilet watching this, I was so hooked.
- DirectorLarry CharlesStarsSacha Baron CohenKen DavitianLuenellKazakh TV talking head Borat is dispatched to the United States to report on the greatest country in the world.I love to impressions of this :D.
- DirectorPaul VerhoevenStarsArnold SchwarzeneggerSharon StoneMichael IronsideWhen a man goes in to have virtual vacation memories of the planet Mars implanted in his mind, an unexpected and harrowing series of events forces him to go to the planet for real - or is he?C l a s s i q u e .
- DirectorJohn LandisStarsEddie MurphyPaul BatesGarcelle BeauvaisAn extremely pampered African prince travels to Queens, New York and goes undercover to find a wife that he can respect for her intelligence and strong will.Oh yes.
- DirectorHayao MiyazakiStarsDaveigh ChaseSuzanne PleshetteMiyu IrinoDuring her family's move to the suburbs, a sullen 10-year-old girl wanders into a world ruled by gods, witches and spirits, and where humans are changed into beasts.The single best contribution to anime in my opinion. For somebody who loves the art style of anime and likes it a lot but doesn't really watch many of the popular anime shows, this film is so great.
- DirectorGary SiniseStarsJohn MalkovichGary SiniseRay WalstonA nomadic farm worker looks after his dimwitted, gentle-giant friend during the Great Depression.The ending...
- DirectorCary Joji FukunagaStarsDaniel CraigAna de ArmasRami MalekJames Bond has left active service. His peace is short-lived when Felix Leiter, an old friend from the CIA, turns up asking for help, leading Bond onto the trail of a mysterious villain armed with dangerous new technology.An action-packed, amazing movie that when it came out everybody was just talking about - and for good reason. The director is a genius and Rami Malek delivers what is one the best performances I've ever seen on a film, really. Rami Malek plays like a vicious, creepy and unsettling character. I think this character is everything a villain is meant to be in a film cuz villains are meant to be portrayed as sick and unlikable because that's what villains are, but also villain characters require a motivation, a persona and some creepy lines as well as being extremely memorable and challenging towards the hero. Bond at its best here. Daniel Craig can go to bed tonight knowing that he has starred as the main character in one of the greatest action films ever made.
