Mini-Review: Best Anime Ever. Most important anime ever. Most important Japanese film since Seven Samurai.

Mini-Review: This is what happens when you get everything right. It's a testament to the films perfection that it has steadily risen to the top of most movie lists, despite having a terrible run at the cinema. Word of mouth made this film popular on DVD and it connected with so many people for so many different reasons. It has great characters and great themes, one of the best prison movies ever, and one of the best movies period.

Mini-Review: Probably the most perfect movie, definitely the best adaptation of a novel (and what a great novel). All actors are on top form and all shine in their own right, a task difficult to do in the presence of Gregory Peck who is on stellar form. The magic and importance of the story is not lost in translation to the screen, the morals are not shoved down our throats, the characters are perfectly cast and the direction can not be flawed. A must watch for anyone who thinks older films are dated.

Mini-Review: A heavily influential movie, with an iconic performance from Perkins, iconic scene with a shower and perfect directing from the mastery of Hitchcock. Psycho plays great as a straight thriller/mystery/suspense/horror, but Hitchcock cleverly introduced subtle themes and images to give many repeated viewers the joy of gaining something new every time. The best film by the best director, perfect in every way and still the best horror fifty years onwards.
