The whole cast gives great performances but Winstone and Watson’s turn as the Stanleys was especially good. I didn’t anticipate The Proposition to spend so much time with their characters but it ended up working well. Each character and each relationship had the depth required to make the movie as engrossing as it could be. One of my favorite westerns I’ve seen!

  Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl 2003

  ★★★★½ Rewatched 19 Jan 2025 4

  We need more pirate movies but who would dare to try topping this? One of the best scores of all time, an incredible cast of colorful characters, great humor, plus really creative action that thrills and simultaneously helps us learn about those characters. Iconic movie that will continue to stand the test of time.

  “That’s got to be the best pirate I’ve ever seen.”
  “So it would seem.”
