    The Princess Bride

    ★★★★★

    Overflowing with an uncanny amount of charm, this is my pick for greatest movie of all time. This film does a lot of great things, not the least of which is creating iconic scenes, moments, and lines. "Inconceivable!," "My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die" and other lines echo through societies ears nearly 40 years later. This is partially because of the quality of writing and line delivery, but also because of the ridiculous re-watchability…

    ★★

    I love Christopher Nolan, he is possibly my favorite director of all time. I love movies like Interstellar and Inception where you are forced to think and be an intelligent, attentive audience member. Tenet goes way overboard however. It should not require six rewatches, the benefit of pause, fast forward, and rewind, and hours of YouTube explanation videos to understand and enjoy a movie. Easily my least favorite in Nolan's Catalogue.

    I recognize that it is critically acclaimed and was revolutionary to film making. I am sure that it was exciting and entertaining for its time. But it is really really really really really hard to enjoy this movie through a modern lens. I've seen lightsabers and way cooler vampires. I would much rather just read Bram Stoker's Dracula and use my imagination. I'm sorry but this sucks. The remake is amazing though.

    Batman & Robin

    Probably the most star-studded cast to ever make an unwatchable movie. George Clooney openly likes to pretend like this one doesn't exist, and with good reason. Save yourself the trouble and don't watch it.
