- DirectorMizuho NishikuboMamoru OshiiStarsAtsuko TanakaIemasa KayumiAkio ÔtsukaA cyborg policewoman and her partner hunt a mysterious and powerful hacker called the Puppet Master.Whenever I watch this movie, even the first time when I was around 14 at around the turn of millennium, I feel like I'm actually watching the future evolution of the human race. It's both chilling and exciting. This movie changed my life and was partly what helped me turn to atheism. Every time I've watched it, I reflect on it differently based on how my mind has changed over the years, always noticing things I hadn't before. So fortunate I saw this in a theatre in 2014.
- DirectorNaoko KusumiMizuho NishikuboMamoru OshiiStarsAkio ÔtsukaAtsuko TanakaTamio ÔkiIn the year 2032, Batô, a cyborg detective for the anti-terrorist unit Public Security Section 9, investigates the case of a female robot--one created solely for sexual pleasure--who slaughtered her owner.I took a good 20 years before I decided to see the direct sequel to GitS, and it blew me away almost as much as the first movie did. Even though I was sad at first that the movie wasn't focused on Motoko this time, I came to love how it was focused on her dear friend Batou and I loved seeing how Motoko has evolved and what she's become. I wasn't too hot on the more 3D visuals compared to the first movie though.
- DirectorFritz LangStarsBrigitte HelmAlfred AbelGustav FröhlichIn a futuristic city sharply divided between the working class and the city planners, the son of the city's mastermind falls in love with a working-class prophet who predicts the coming of a savior to mediate their differences.Way way way ahead of its time, and still better than most today. I was blown away by how engaging the final act is in this and one of the final lines, a message which is iconic and powerful and still needs to be heard today.
- 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.A prime example of why movies exist.
- DirectorSatyajit RayStarsKanu BannerjeeKaruna BannerjeeSubir BanerjeeImpoverished priest Harihar Ray, dreaming of a better life for himself and his family, leaves his rural Bengal village in search of work.This is perfect direction. It doesn't get any more perfect.
- 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.There are zero flaws with the movie. If anyone didn't enjoy it because you didn't understand it, watch it again. It literally gets better with every rewatch.
- DirectorRon FrickeStarsPatrick DisantoA collection of expertly photographed scenes of human life and religion.Such profound storytelling about humanity without saying a single word. The part that uses music from Dead Can Dance absolutely crushes me every time. Pretty much no other movie I've seen makes my tears run as much as this.
- DirectorFrancis Ford CoppolaStarsMatt DillonMickey RourkeDiane LaneAbsent-minded street thug Rusty James struggles to live up to his legendary older brother's reputation, and longs for the days of gang warfare.This movie is its own mood and there's no other movie like it. Mickey deserved all the awards for this. The visual embodiment of existential pain and anguish. I don't believe in the soul but I felt like I was watching mine through the screen.
- DirectorAkira KurosawaStarsTatsuya NakadaiTsutomu YamazakiKen'ichi HagiwaraA petty thief with an utter resemblance to a samurai warlord is hired as the lord's double. When the warlord later dies the thief is forced to take up arms in his place.Like a mountain.
- DirectorRidley ScottStarsSigourney WeaverTom SkerrittJohn HurtThe crew of a commercial spacecraft encounters a deadly lifeform after investigating a mysterious transmission of unknown origin.Best live action female lead ever. Best action hero in a live action movie ever, period! Amazing and unique art direction and atmosphere.
- DirectorChristopher NolanStarsChristian BaleHeath LedgerAaron EckhartWhen the menace known as the Joker wreaks havoc and chaos on the people of Gotham, Batman must accept one of the greatest psychological and physical tests of his ability to fight injustice.Batman Begins more than satisfied me as a massive fan of Batman who grew up watching the great Batman the Animated Series from childhood. The Dark Knight blew past any expectations I'd ever had for a Batman film or for a film in general. The marriage of art, intelligence, and entertainment here was at a revolutionary level. The worldwide phenomenon was amazing. I have to pinch myself when my tastes actually align with popular opinion for once. I don't think I'll never feel this connected to the rest of my fellow human beings ever again, lol.
- 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 movie was announced right after I had finished reading The Hobbit, which had become my favourite book ever, and I had to read again for school! We had to write an essay on it and I got an A+ and highest grade in the class for the once and only time in my life). I was reading the first LOTR book in the leadup to the film's release. I saw it twice, once on opening day and again for a class field trip! I just thought it was completely perfect. This series was one of the few highlights of my high school days.
- DirectorPeter JacksonStarsElijah WoodIan McKellenViggo MortensenWhile Frodo and Sam edge closer to Mordor with the help of the shifty Gollum, the divided fellowship makes a stand against Sauron's new ally, Saruman, and his hordes of Isengard.
- DirectorPeter JacksonStarsElijah WoodViggo MortensenIan McKellenGandalf and Aragorn lead the World of Men against Sauron's army to draw his gaze from Frodo and Sam as they approach Mount Doom with the One Ring.
- DirectorAkira KurosawaStarsToshirô MifuneTakashi ShimuraKeiko TsushimaFarmers from a village exploited by bandits hire a veteran samurai for protection, who gathers six other samurai to join him.
- DirectorLotte ReinigerCarl KochA handsome prince rides a flying horse to faraway lands and embarks on magical adventures, which include befriending a witch, meeting Aladdin, battling demons and falling in love with a princess.This woman's achievement in 2D animation is tragically overlooked. This is a total classic and one of my favorite silent films and one of my favorite films ever.
- DirectorDavid LeanStarsPeter O'TooleAlec GuinnessAnthony QuinnThe story of T.E. Lawrence, the English officer who successfully united and led the diverse, often warring, Arab tribes during World War I in order to fight the Turks.
- DirectorChristopher NolanStarsChristian BaleMichael CaineKen WatanabeAfter witnessing his parents' death, Bruce learns the art of fighting to confront injustice. When he returns to Gotham as Batman, he must stop a secret society that intends to destroy the city.As a kid, after seeing all the previous Batman films and realizing my favorite Batman was Batman the Animated series, I thought a good enough Batman movie would never be made for me. Then this movie came out. I went in expecting it to disappoint me, and it ended up being the Batman movie I always wanted. Well, almost. The sequel was even better than anything I could thought of, but still, the perfect Batman movie hasn't been made yet for me.
- DirectorRam Gopal VarmaStarsSanjay DuttUrmila MatondkarParesh RawalNandu, a small-time thief, is assigned to smuggle an unknown packet for a petty amount. With the police pursuing him, Nandu has to elude them and deliver the packet on time.Fun, hilarious, with an amazing soundtrack. Isn't that movie perfection? No? Well nutts to you then.
- DirectorWilliam BeaudineTom McNamaraStarsMary PickfordRoy StewartMary Louise MillerMolly, the eldest child at a baby farm hidden deep in a swamp, must rescue the others when their cruel master decides that one of them will be disposed of.So far my favorite movie starring this Canadian Icon. Mary Pickford.
- DirectorDavid HoganStarsPamela AndersonAmir AboulElaAdriana AlexanderDuring the Second American Civil War in 2017, Barb Wire owns a nightclub called the Hammerhead. Things become complicated when her ex-lover Axel Hood, who is married to the fugitive Corrina Devonshire, re-enters her life.Best Casablanca movie that isn't Casablanca... but for that reason I love it just a bit more, personally, even if of course it is by far an inferior film in comparison. The first live-action Comic book film I ever liked, before X-Men and Spiderman came out in 2000. I saw this in 1998 or 1999 when I was around 11.
- 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.
- DirectorÁlex de la IglesiaStarsSancho GraciaÁngel de Andrés LópezCarmen MauraJulián Torralba is a former movie stuntman in Almeria, Spain. He and several of his colleagues, who once made a living in American Westerns shot in Spain, now are reduced to doing stunt shows for minuscule audiences on the decaying set built for those old Westerns. Julián wrestles with dark memories of the death of his son, also a stuntman, and with estrangement from his daughter-in-law Laura and her son Carlos. Carlos, a young boy, becomes intrigued with his late father's life and runs away to join Julián and his band of has-beens. There Carlos is initiated into the rambunctious life of these hard-drinking faux cowboys. But when Laura, a powerful executive looking for a new site for a tourist resort, learns that Carlos has joined the hated Julián, she moves to destroy even this remnant of Julián's once-proud career. Julián and the cowboys decide to fight back the only way they know how.IMO, this is the true modern ultimate fairy tale for little boys. Ok, well, at least until the last time westerns were still recognized by kids as being cool. Funny thing though, my mom is the biggest fan of westerns and cowboys that I've ever known.
- DirectorLarisa ShepitkoStarsBoris PlotnikovVladimir GostyukhinSergey YakovlevTwo Soviet partisans on a mission to gather food contend with the winter cold, the occupying Germans, and their own psyches.My own opinion aside, this should be considered not only the greatest film ever directed by a woman, but one of the greatest films ever made, period.
- DirectorBigas LunaStarsBiel DuranMathilda MayGérard DarmonA child cannot stand the idea of having a new brother and dreams about drinking milk from the breasts of his mother again. The child asks the moon to bring him a teet only for him.
- StarsRachael LillisWayne GraysonTed LewisStones of power are given to chosen fighters trained by a master in order to overthrow the master's plan to destroy humanity. The fighters do not necessarily get along even as the world heads toward peril.I saw an ad for this in a game magazine when I was 12... then for over a year, every chance I got I hung around in the local mall's HMV, scanning the VHS cover all over with my eyes, as I mustered up the courage to finally walk into that HMV and make it the first movie I ever bought with my own money when I was 13/14. It did not disappoint.
- DirectorVincente MinnelliGeorge CukorStarsKirk DouglasAnthony QuinnJames DonaldThe life of brilliant but tortured artist Vincent van Gogh.Because of this movie I can say, Van Gogh was a lot like me. This movie made me feel less alone.
- DirectorAnurag KashyapStarsKay Kay MenonPawan MalhotraAditya SrivastavA film about the investigations following the 1993 serial Bombay bomb blasts, told through the different stories of the people involved --police, conspirators, victims, middlemen.Changed my perception about what Indian directors can be capable of. Made me stop calling it "Bollywood" and start calling it "Indian cinema".
- DirectorJohn HustonStarsClark GableMarilyn MonroeMontgomery CliftA divorcée falls for an over-the-hill cowboy who is struggling to maintain his romantically independent lifestyle."You could blow up the world and all you'd feel is sorry for yourself!" WHAT A LINE! And Marilyn Monroe delivered that! Chilling, sad, haunting, real, complicated, human, damning, and INCREDIBLY UNDERRATED.
- DirectorBhavna TalwarStarsPankaj KapurSupriya PathakPankaj TripathiWhen a priest's wife brings home an orphan boy, her husband is against it. Over time, he develops a connection with him, but is shocked when he finds out the boy's religion.Dharm. Every religious person should be required to see this.

- DirectorJonathan LynnStarsEileen BrennanTim CurryMadeline KahnSix guests are anonymously invited to a strange mansion for dinner, but after their host is killed, they must cooperate with the staff to identify the murderer as the bodies pile up.
- DirectorArthur HillerStarsPeter O'TooleSophia LorenJames CocoThe funny story of mad but kind and chivalrous elderly nobleman Don Quixote who, aided by his squire Sancho Panza, fights windmills that are seen as dragons to save prostitute Dulcinea who is seen as a noblewoman.The best (musical) film adaptation of the classic Cervantes story!
- DirectorJames CameronStarsArnold SchwarzeneggerJamie Lee CurtisTom ArnoldA fearless, globe-trotting, terrorist-battling secret agent has his life turned upside down when he discovers his wife might be having an affair with a used-car salesman while terrorists smuggle nuclear war heads into the United States.JLC is the real star of this. Massively important to my childhood, even if there are better James Cameron movies than this. But it's his second to last good movie before he became totally ignorable.

- DirectorCharles ChaplinStarsCharles ChaplinMack SwainTom MurrayA prospector goes to the Klondike during the 1890s gold rush in hopes of making his fortune, and is smitten with a girl he sees in a dance hall.
- DirectorPrawaal RamanStarsTusshar KapoorAntara MaliRaghubir YadavA neglected young man wishes to be invisible and the wish comes true. However in an attempt to get his ladylove, he gets in the bad books of police who wants him dead.The most original and probably realistic film about what would happen in real life if a nerdy college student actually got a super power. AND at the same time an original contemporary take on The Invisible Man. Also, great soundtrack.
- DirectorKurt WimmerStarsChristian BaleSean BeanEmily WatsonIn an oppressive future where all forms of feeling are illegal, a man in charge of enforcing the law rises to overthrow the system and state.Way more impressive, original, and thought-provoking to me than The Matrix was.
- DirectorFrancesco RosiStarsSophia LorenOmar SharifGeorges WilsonIn 17th century Italy, a Spanish prince, who's searching for a bride, falls in-love with a beautiful local peasant girl.It's a new Fairy Tale story that sounds like it could have been written in days that Fairy Tales were written. I just wish I could see it as "C'era Una Volta" with the original dialogue instead of the awkward English dubbing.
- DirectorJim AbrahamsDavid ZuckerJerry ZuckerStarsRobert HaysJulie HagertyLeslie NielsenAfter the crew becomes sick with food poisoning, a neurotic ex-fighter pilot must safely land a commercial airplane full of passengers.This movie made me realize what I believe the perfect comedy should be like... focused on making laughs at any cost... even if sense and story have to be thrown out the window. Way too many modern comedies are trying too hard on the drama, they're really DRAMAdies, and they're just not very funny at all.
- DirectorRohit JugrajStarsMohit AhlawatPriyanka KothariMohan AgasheA story of a young man's quest to avenge the death of his older brother.Very simple story but perfectly directed with the best action choreography in Indian history up to that point. Great music too.
- DirectorKazuaki KiriyaStarsYûsuke IseyaKumiko AsôAkira TeraoLive-action sci-fi movie based on a 1973 Japanese animé of the same name (Shinzo Ningen Casshân). Theme song by Utada Hikaru.An original story that probably would be much more highly rated if it didn't have to do with a beloved established decades-old IP.
- DirectorOrson WellesStarsAnthony PerkinsArnoldo FoàJess HahnAn unassuming office worker is arrested and stands trial, but he is never made aware of his charges.This movie is a mood.
- DirectorHenry HathawayStarsMarilyn MonroeJoseph CottenJean PetersAs two couples are visiting Niagara Falls, tensions between one wife and her husband reach the level of murder.Watching this on a 4K TV feels almost like going to Niagara falls.. except in the 50s.

- DirectorShashilal K. NairStarsSaroj BhargavaManisha KoiralaJesse RandhawaA story of coming of age of a young 15 year old boy, Aditya, who spends his free time spying on a young woman in the opposite building with a telescope, ready to give his life for her love. The young woman is enraged, and then amused when she finds out, and decides to teach young Aditya a lesson that he will never forget in his life.I related way too much to this movie in 2002. I was around the same age as the main character. The way it's directed is perfect... the realistic and serious atmosphere, the tension, the great acting from the boy and Manisha Koirala. The only reason it's too badly rated is because it's about a topic that's still considered way too taboo, even in India, even now 20 years later. I just wish the ending was done better, she dropped reality on him more harshly than he deserved and makes you end up not liking her character as much by the end.
- DirectorHenri-Georges ClouzotStarsYves MontandCharles VanelPeter van EyckIn a decrepit South American village, four men are hired to transport an urgent nitroglycerine shipment without the equipment that would make it safe.

- DirectorRobert ZemeckisStarsBob HoskinsChristopher LloydJoanna CassidyWhen a cartoon rabbit is accused of murder, he enlists the help of a burnt out private investigator to prove his innocence.The best Disney film has WB character cameos in it and is inspired by Tex Avery cartoons, go figure.
- DirectorGisaburô SugiiStarsKôjiro ShimizuKenji HagaMiki FujitaniA crime boss searching for the world's best fighters pursues a talented Japanese drifter and his American ex-classmate, while an Interpol agent and a US Army captain seek to bring him down.The ending being dull is my only real complaint. Otherwise, this is the first good movie based on a video game ever. Also one of the only times the US soundtrack is better than the Japanese one in an anime, fite me.
- DirectorJohn LandisStarsEddie MurphyDan AykroydRalph BellamyA snobbish investor and a wily street con artist find their positions reversed as part of a bet by two callous millionaires.
- DirectorLasse HallströmStarsAnton GlanzeliusTomas von BrömssenAnki LidénIn the late '50s, young Ingemar learns a lot about life and himself when he is sent away from his sick mother to live with his aunt and uncle in a town full of eccentrics.

- DirectorBibo BergeronDon PaulJeffrey KatzenbergStarsKevin KlineKenneth BranaghRosie PerezTwo swindlers get their hands on a map to the fabled city of gold, El Dorado.Of all the animated musical films I saw as a kid, this one is the only one I still love just as much. It's the funniest of them all, and I love the setting and characters. Also the music, even though it's vocal, it stays in the background of scenes rather than having the characters break out into song, which I prefer.
- DirectorBoris SagalStarsBarBara LunaRoger MobleyRafael LópezFive Mexican street urchins steal a dime from the church's collection box and bet it on a race-horse.This should be considered a classic. It's like the precursor to movies like Slumdog Millionaire and Salaam Bombay, except Mexico instead of India. It's my kind of kids' movie, the kind of movie I would have loved as a kid because it's about kids but realistically done without any pandering and dumbing anything down, so anyone of any age can enjoy it. All the kids do an amazing job, and all the adult actors do a great job too.
