Movie Buff - 377 Films Ranked

Bio: Films are awesome. I can't say no to a good Bond movie, but the best film ever is surely The Shawshank Redemption. The most important thing for me in a film is the music. Probably because I'm a professional musician. Look at my rankings, I mostly only rank films I like, if you agree with my tastes, get in touch and recommend something!
Recent Rankings
81 T8 The Impossible (2012) - Jan 26, 2013
"Horrifyingly realistic, this film shocked me plenty of times. Watts does a good job, but McGreggor absolutely nails it. Their kids definitely deserve credit as well. Thought provoking and well laid out, this is not really an easy watch but it is a very well crafted one."
84 T8 Django Unchained (2012) - Jan 26, 2013
"I might be tempted to call this Tarantino's best film. Christoph Waltz, yet again, gives the performance that steals the show, although Samuel L. Jackson and Leonardo DiCaprio certainly deserve mentions. Tarantino's cameo is absolutely hilarious, DEFINITELY his best. It does begin to drag a little, as this is not a short film by any stretch of the imagination, but a brutal, charged-up revenge thriller with excellent dialogue and some brilliant scenes is a good recipe in anybodies hands."
77 T6 Blow (2001) - Jan 26, 2013
"You can't really go wrong if you've got Johnny Depp and Ray Liotta playing son and father. "
55 T3 Sinister (2012) - Dec 11, 2012
"Although sinister is blessed with a relatively intriguing plot and backstory for a film of its genre, not to mention some well executed scares, a finely pitched sense of tension throughout and some decent performances & cinematography, a highly disappointing ending, the general sense of predictability and a few too many horror cliches are left in the hole where some of the films more genuine successes could have multiplied."
92 T10 Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (2011) - Dec 11, 2012
"To me, this is everything a blockbuster should be. Innately unique in its realisation of both style and substance, without ever being more than a stones throw from instant gratification. The chemistry between Downey Jr. and Law, the awesome action sequences, the set and costume design, and so many other things make this great. The story and some of the scenes are awkwardly realised and a little outlandish, but overall this is one of my favourite moves of recent years. "
83 T8 Sherlock Holmes (2009) - Dec 11, 2012
87 T9 Skyfall (2012) - Dec 11, 2012
"Visually stunning, with a dynamic and engaging story, Javier Bardem's excellent villain and some brilliant scenes and locations. Intriguingly, Thomas Newman is no match for David Arnold this time round, but that is by no means enough to sour the experience. Significantly better than Quantum of Solace, although some way short of Casino Royale, this is one of the best bonds and deserves the excellent reputation its been building. Definitely go and see this."
81 T8 The Woman in Black (2012) - Jul 28, 2012
"I'm surprised by the lukewarm reception this film has generated. I actually rated it a lot higher than your average flick of the same nature. The scares were measured and typical, but a rich and excellent back story as well as some good production values made them effective nonetheless. Furthermore, the main characters were charming and drove the story beautifully. All in all, a very good film that at times is genuinely scary. "
89 T10 The Dark Knight Rises (2012) - Jul 20, 2012
"Everything in this film was great... most of the time. The sound, for example, was great except for the fact that the dialog was too quiet. The plot was great for the most part but the twist was not only unnecessary but also very out of character for nolan. The characters were great except for Catwoman who was clearly just a story vehicle (not that Hatheway didn't do a good job). It all adds up to a great film... most of the time. Still one of the best of the year though!"
71 T6 Pirate Radio (2009) - Jun 20, 2012
"Charming, witty and lighthearted comedy. Has its flaws, but is an exceedingly positive watch."
