- DirectorJohn FordStarsHenry FondaJane DarwellJohn CarradineAn Oklahoma family, driven off their farm by the poverty and hopelessness of the Dust Bowl, joins the westward migration to California, suffering the misfortunes of the homeless in the Great Depression.Oranges
This historical drama tells the story about poor Midwest family forced off their land during the Great Depression. Homeless people then traveled to California in hope to get back on their feet as fruit pickers. But the reality of California was far from the promised land they hoped it would be. The movie has touching story, dark and heavy atmosphere, great cast and directing, and it must have left the strong impression because, a few years after watching, I remember it as if I watched it a few days ago. Although I'm aware of its objective qualities, for some reason I did not enjoy it. I suppose it's just a matter of taste, but I can not give a higher rating to something I did not like.
7/10 - DirectorJohn HustonStarsHumphrey BogartMary AstorGladys GeorgeSan Francisco private detective Sam Spade takes on a case that involves him with three eccentric criminals, a gorgeous liar and their quest for a priceless statuette, with the stakes rising after his partner is murdered.Not my cup of tea
Despite its reputation, nominations and awards, this film was boring to me. And I did not like the girls either.
7/10 - DirectorOrson WellesFred FleckRobert WiseStarsTim HoltJoseph CottenDolores CostelloThe spoiled young heir to the decaying Amberson fortune comes between his widowed mother and the man she has always loved.If you like Orson, then it's OK. Not my cup of tea thou.
What a bunch of degenerates, all of them dumb-asses. Collection of miserable failures, wasted lives, and what is even worse, they are not collateral damage of ambition of others or victims of force majeure and unfortunate set of circumstances. O no, they destroyed their own lives themselves and without any objective rational reasons. I mean... I know it's only a movie, but they raised my blood pressure to a million. Such fools, even God can't help them. Maybe I am stupid for some types of art, but I really could not digest this rubbish.
6/10 - DirectorMichael CurtizStarsHumphrey BogartIngrid BergmanPaul HenreidA cynical expatriate American cafe owner struggles to decide whether or not to help his former lover and her fugitive husband escape the Nazis in French Morocco.Of all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world, she walks into mine
This movie was nominated for eight Academy Awards, and it won three - Best Picture, Best Director and Best Screenplay. On every list I ever encountered it is placed very high, often in the top ten. I have seen it several times and I still don't understand why. The movie is good and I love it, but if it were to win any Oscars than that Oscar should have gone into the hands of legendary Humphrey Bogart, one of the best actors of all time, because, in my opinion, Bogart is what made this film stand out above the average.
7/10 - DirectorBilly WilderStarsFred MacMurrayBarbara StanwyckEdward G. RobinsonA Los Angeles insurance representative is seduced by an alluring housewife into a scheme of insurance fraud and murder that arouses the suspicion of his colleague, a claims investigator.Overrated
This film noir is nominated for seven Oscars, considered one of the best in the genre, and even one of the best movies overall. It is undisputedly good film, but I wouldn't place it so high. The story is very good, but quite predictable, and the performances of the leading actors weren't convincing enough to me. It's like they didn't know their lines by heart, as they struggled too much. Maybe it's just me, but I simply didn't buy it. Wilder, on the other hand, nailed it as usual.
7/10 - DirectorVincente MinnelliStarsJudy GarlandMargaret O'BrienMary AstorYoung love and childish fears highlight a year in the life of a turn-of-the-century family.Sweet
Cute relaxing movie. God knows how it got four Oscar nominations and to me it's understandable why it didn't win any.
7/10 - DirectorAlfred HitchcockStarsCary GrantIngrid BergmanClaude RainsThe daughter of a convicted German spy is asked by American agents to gather information on a ring of German scientists in South America. How far will she have to go to ingratiate herself with them?Mediocre Hitchcock…
6/10 - DirectorHoward HawksStarsHumphrey BogartLauren BacallJohn RidgelyPrivate detective Philip Marlowe is hired by a wealthy family. Before the complex case is over, he's seen murder, blackmail and what might be love.Nothing Special
Except for Humphrey Bogart, who expectedly nailed his role, this is just an average Film-Noir. It is considered one of the best movies of all time, but I honestly cannot understand why.
6/10 - DirectorJohn FordStarsHenry FondaLinda DarnellVictor MatureAfter their cattle are stolen and their brother murdered, the Earp brothers have a score to settle with the Clanton family.Nothing special
I have no objections, but it didn't leave strong impression on me. Enjoyable entertainment for boring afternoon.
6,5/10 - DirectorWilliam WylerStarsMyrna LoyDana AndrewsFredric MarchThree World War II veterans, two of them traumatized or disabled, return home to the American midwest to discover that they and their families have been irreparably changed.Good, but overrated
It really is a nice movie and three hours flew by, but I honestly cannot see why is it considered one of the best movies of all time and how it won seven Academy Awards. I have no objections to it, because it is good, but nothing particularly fascinating...
7/10 - DirectorJacques TourneurStarsRobert MitchumJane GreerKirk DouglasA private eye escapes his past to run a gas station in a small town, but his past catches up with him. Now he must return to the big city world of danger, corruption, double crosses, and duplicitous dames.Not my cup of tea
It is considered to be one of the best achievements in film noir genre, and it can be found near the top of many lists of the best films of all time. I can not explain why exactly, but to me it was slightly boring, although I can not deny its many qualities.
7/10 - DirectorHoward HawksArthur RossonStarsJohn WayneMontgomery CliftJoanne DruDunson leads a cattle drive, the culmination of over 14 years of work, to its destination in Missouri. But his tyrannical behavior along the way causes a mutiny, led by his adopted son.Top 10 best westerns of all time ?! Nope. In my opinion just average movie. After Hawks' Bringing Up Baby, His Girl Friday, Scarface, The Big Sleep... this comes pretty much as disappointment. :(
6/10 - DirectorGeorge StevensStarsAlan LaddJean ArthurVan HeflinAn ex-gunfighter defends homesteaders in 1889 Wyoming.It is considered one of the best films of all time. And once again, I'm too stupid to figure out why... Average tra-la-la western story. It is not bad for a western, although it is not much above the average in the genre, and within the entire history of the film, I'm not giving it a crumb above the six.
6/10 - DirectorElia KazanStarsMarlon BrandoKarl MaldenLee J. CobbAn ex-prize fighter turned New Jersey longshoreman struggles to stand up to his corrupt union bosses, including his older brother, as he starts to connect with the grieving sister of one of the syndicate's victims.In my opinion, it's overrated
This really is a good movie, I agree with that. But winning 8 Academy Awards... that part I do not understand. In my subjective opinion, this movie is above average, but nothing really special. I do not see its greatness and excellence.
7/10 - DirectorCharles LaughtonStarsRobert MitchumShelley WintersLillian GishA self-proclaimed preacher marries a gullible widow whose young children are reluctant to tell him where their real dad hid the $10,000 he'd stolen in a robbery.Nice movie
I am not saying that the movie is bad. It has its qualities and it is quite watchable and somewhat enjoyable. But calling it excellent, a masterpiece and one of the best movies of all time is really terrible overprizing.
7/10 - DirectorNicholas RayStarsJames DeanNatalie WoodSal MineoA rebellious young man with a troubled past comes to a new town, finding friends and enemies.Overrated
Why is this movie considered to be one of the best movies of all time?! Is it bad? No, it is pretty good. But excellent?! I can understand all the euphoria in its own time because premiere were just a month after the death of the rising star James Dean. That death made a cult out of this film. But being legendary does not make it a masterpiece. This movie is OK and nothing more than OK.
6/10 - DirectorJohn FordStarsJohn WayneJeffrey HunterVera MilesAn American Civil War veteran embarks on a years-long journey to rescue his niece from the Comanches after the rest of his brother's family is massacred in a raid on their Texas farm.Just after watching this movie I run onto the newest list of Top 50 Movies of All Times. This one takes 7th place and Wild Bunch is not on the list at all. Screw that list. The movie is not bad, but it has a tendency to bore a bit. Nice story, solidly made and that's it.
6/10 - DirectorStanley KubrickStarsKirk DouglasRalph MeekerAdolphe MenjouA colonel defends three of his soldiers in a court-martial after they abandon a suicidal attack."The paths of glory lead but to the grave"
[Thomas Gray, Written in a Country Churchyard] - DirectorBilly WilderStarsMarilyn MonroeTony CurtisJack LemmonAfter two male musicians witness a mob hit, they flee the state in an all-female band disguised as women, but further complications set in.Very good but not excellent... or maybe it just isn't my cup of tea...
7,5/10 - DirectorAlfred HitchcockStarsAnthony PerkinsJanet LeighVera MilesA secretary on the run for embezzlement takes refuge at a secluded California motel owned by a repressed man and his overbearing mother.Why does the detective every time leave the car through the passenger door?
When I first saw this movie, I didn't like it. I was bored, and I think I rated it six out of ten. But I was younger, with less film experience and much less patience. Therefore I decided to give it another chance.
Nominated for four Oscars, Alfred Hitchcock's horror thriller "Psycho" is considered one of the best films of all time and one of the most influential films in the genre. The oldest R-rated movie can also be found on the lists of the most controversial films because, in its time, it was something new and shocking. Frankly, I was a little bored. Although technically well-made, with great camera, music, and performances by Anthony Perkins and Janet Leigh, the story and overall atmosphere made no special impression on me. The introductory part, until Marion arrives at the motel, was needlessly dragged on for half an hour and, after hundreds of watched thrillers and horrors, neither did the rest of it particularly hold my attention. With all due respect for the status of this film, its impact on the history of cinema, the cult scene in the shower and one of the most legendary twists of all time, my subjective impression does not allow me to rate it higher than
7,5/10 - 19641h 35mPG8.3 (527K)97MetascoreDirectorStanley KubrickStarsPeter SellersGeorge C. ScottSterling HaydenAn unhinged American general orders a bombing attack on the Soviet Union, triggering a path to nuclear holocaust that a war room full of politicians and generals frantically tries to stop.I'm glad Kubrick gave up on comedy
I understood sarcasm and the message this movie brings, but the idea doesn't make a good movie. This was one of the most boring movies I have ever seen, and I've seen thousands. In what universe this may pass as a comedy?! Besides a few mediocre jokes, most of it wasn't funny at all. I barely endured to the end and I wouldn't watch it again even if my life depended on it. For entertainment qualities I would rate it zero out of ten, but because the essential idea is good I'll compromise with
4,5/10 - DirectorZivojin PavlovicStarsSlobodan 'Cica' PerovicDusica ZegaracSeverin BijelicA lonely man struggles to find the money for his ill sister's treatment while at the same time trying to escape his past and to make sense of the present.Not bad, but extremely boring
I realize that storytelling is not what this movie intended to do, not even characterization, but simply attempt to represent one dark period of our past. And it does it really well. But that does not change the fact that this movie is boring to death. I may be stupid, but for me, this is just one more in the long line of completely redundant accomplishments in YU/Serbian cinematography. Recommendation to those who suffer from insomnia.

The cult movie, picked up some rewards, considered to be one of the most controversial movies of all times, blah-blah... If you didn't see it already my advice is to skip it. But if you did, I would appreciate hearing your impressions, just to see if I'm stupid or this movie really is a bullshit.
5/10 (and even that much only because of Ann-Margret) - DirectorPeter BogdanovichStarsTimothy BottomsJeff BridgesCybill ShepherdIn 1951, a group of high schoolers come of age in a bleak, isolated, atrophied North Texas town that is slowly dying, both culturally and economically.Cybill Shepherd (naked) debut
At the beginning of the fifties, a group of teenagers, in a small dreary dying town in Texas, graduates from high school and is forced to face a gloomy reality. The film does not have any particular plot, but rather tries to present the grayness of everyday life of people in a hopeless environment. This atmosphere is largely contributed by the black and white technique and the absence of a music background. Music in the film only occurs when the characters listen to it on the radio, jukebox and the like. In the seventies, it caused controversy because of, for its time, explicit nudity and teenage sex as one of the main motives, but the movie is so depressing that even a sex desire is cut off at the root.
The film won two Oscars, out of eight nominations, as well as many other awards, and is considered one of the best American achievements of the seventies, but, although intellectually I realize its greatness, it did not leave a particularly strong impression on me. Although I had already seen it a few years ago, I had the impression that I was watching it for the first time, and I believe that in a few more years I would not remember anything again.
