The Faculty (1998)
Women are bad and drugs are good!
This is the movie that proves once and for all that the hot girls are bad and drugs are good. Just watch the movie and you'll see. The drugs save the day. But there are so many twists and turns this comment didn't ruin the movie for you, honest, so watch it and see that I'm telling the truth.
Lolita (1962)
Great movie because its a great script
I've seen both versions of Lolita, which are remarkably the same, and one thing seems certain to me. The movie is great because the script is great. In this version James Mason does a great job as Humbert Humbert, that cannot be denied. But the frustration he is acting on is wholly a result of a terrific novel and screenplay written by Vladimir Nabokov. That is apparent as Sue Lyon seems very appealing as Lolita, but I don't think in reality she does nearly as good a job as Dominique Swain in her portrayal of Lolita for the 1992 version of the film. Overall, see the movie, but pay close attention to all the detail and design that's written into the script, and less to the actors. It'll make the movie that much better.
Malice (1993)
Gotta see it once
Yeah, it's rated a seven, but the first time you see it, definitely a ten. Very interesting twist in the plot, and a terrific scene about Alec Baldwin's "God complex". See it to understand.
Night of the Living Dead (1990)
A classic?
Okay it isn't Halloween or anything, but it's great. With a rating of 7, I feel that I should explain why I (if no one else) voted it a 7. This is a totally entertaining movie. It isn't scary or gross, it's actually funny. I've never seen the original, but it seems to be a color version of the same, like the Psycho remake. But this is sheer comedic entertainment, good for a good laugh any night. Especially those stormy cold nights with the girlfriend, cause you can probably get her to jump a couple of times.
As Good as It Gets (1997)
...is as bad as it gets.
This movie is the longest movie I've ever seen. I swear they played 3 showings of Titanic in the next theatre. Could this be any more boring? Okay, call me immature, fine. But I need more than Jack Nicholson hopping on the sidewalk, a gay guy, and Helen Hunt in a wet t-shirt to make this movie good. I know there are people reading this and saying, "What are you talking about?" Well, if that's you, please post to set me straight. And I suggest some activity in your life, or at least rent Armageddon.
Varsity Blues (1999)
Amazing
Okay, yeah, its a football movie. But this movie is unlike anything you've ever seen when it comes to football movies. And James Van Der Beek is NOT Dawson Leary in this one. You've got to check it out.
Armageddon (1998)
Pure fun
Okay, so its predictable. But who cares? Rather than trying to make a movie about humanity and its end, searching for the deep answers that no one has (Deep Impact), Armageddon is from the beginning a fun movie and does very well. Michael Bay set out to do it that was and succeeded spectacularly. He has done a terrific job of making a movie with the best special effects and craziest plot since Star Wars. And personally, I would rather watch Armageddon.
Dead Presidents (1995)
Brilliant vision, but...
I know, I know. How does a movie with an average 6.4 vote get a 1? Well, let me explain. Maybe I missed the point. But I watched the whole movie, and as far as I could tell, there wasn't one. The idea and vision behind this are brilliant. I even liked the tagline. But somehow it just didn't come together on the screen (which you'll understand if you've seen any Master P movie).
