Bio: I love the necessity of sleep, many days I will choose the content of my dreams over my other realities. Hello, welcome to my list of recommendations. Vanity, to make a show of how large my past-time is- means I'll put any old movie I've watched on this list. For my part, I like most of the movies I see. There is a powerful filter around me, if I can even hear about it to pick it up, that's more than halfway towards a promising setup. I rate films on a simple four stop metric. Anything 50 and up is a recommendation, you wouldn't be wasting your time seeing it. Inside of 100 and 50 might be the best mediocre campy 80s comedy but here's hoping you like it! 75 is the three star zone and any of these films I consider great watches. There are no genre requirements here, I like all kinds, and I probably judge my favourite genres more harshly than others. These "Great" movies compare against your list, I've been a movie fan for over two decades and I hope I've seen something you haven't. Now 50 and below are for problem films, and occasionally a one I like sits there. 25 is "One Star", these films have intact narratives or something particularly worthy, but altogether I dislike. Lastly, please excuse the 100s. They are supposed to be outstanding examples of film, but I know they are merely the ones that pander best to my admittedly eccentric taste.

50 Ronin (1998) - May 09, 2012
Mini-Review: Fantastic acting, good structure, wonderful vistas, etc. There was a charm here, something special, but in that eventual reflexive way, we have the confrontation with the real heavy-hitting American export in Europe: Brutal Nihilism. I don't believe that the above can be included with love interests and car chase scenes without a certain tiresome revulsion, especially where every character can crawl away to safety and fall then predictably to the uncaring sword of the third act.
25 A History of Violence (2005) - May 09, 2012
Mini-Review: If you can forgive the movie's double-redundant extraction of its premise in every act ("bad guy" Crazy Joey is buried, but not dead) this movie works as a straight "seeming america, what lies beneath you?" yarn. It's a shame that each able actor runs up dry with how much they can support a drama that doesn't provide anything but the most basic of personal shading to each. The son's subplot is more of a gesture than a proper concern. The film ends in a sad way, but appropriately, in silence.
75 Boogie Nights (1997) - May 06, 2012
