Batman & Robin 1997
There's something about this time of year that makes me want to watch Batman & Robin. Maybe it's due to the VHS being released in the month of October, or maybe it's all the ice related puns reminding me that Illinois winter is right around the corner. I watched this movie a lot when I was a kid. I know every shot and every line.
Arnold 100% knows what movie he is in and his performance is perfect. His skin looks…

Harakiri 1962
Not since Creature from the Black Lagoon have I seen such black and white photography to make me question whether or not color was a mistake. Harakiri is a masterpiece. Every element of the filmaking from acting to directing to editing is perfectly executed to effectively tell the story. I was never bored watching this despite there being little to no action for much of the film. The drama unfolding is plenty enough to keep you interested and very effectively raises the stakes when the action finally does occur. Tatsuya Nakadai is unreal.

Oz the Great and Powerful 2013
This one is definitely up there on the list of 'worst movies I've ever seen that were directed by someone I respect'.

No Country for Old Men 2007
The sound of Josh Brolin's boots on gravel, the creaking suspension and exhaust of his Ford F100, the beeps of the transponder receiver, the suppressed sawed off shot gun used by Javiar Bardem....
I could go on and on about the incredible use of sound in No Country for Old Men. It also looks incredible of course, even on regular old blu ray. Top to bottom an incredible cast with all members firing on all cylinders. Josh Brolin's best performance…Translated from by -
Casablanca 1942
Randomly decided to watch this after getting home from work at 3am and it blew my socks clear off. The fact that I managed to stay
awake for the entire runtime is a testament to how engaged I was.Translated from by
