Top 100 Films of all time
Spoiler-free mini-reviews under each title. If there isn't one it means I haven't seen it in over a decade so is due a rewatch.
List is quite english-biased, many from a man's point of view, some obvious choices, maybe a few you haven't seen yet, much 'fantastic' fiction, plenty dark tones but rarely grim, sporadic lightness also about.
How-to-watch Recommendations:
Shout out to these pictures which just missed out:
Paranormal Activity 3
The Exorcism of Emily Rose
Village of the Damned (1960)
The Thing (1982)
From Russia with Love
Deliverance
Airplane!
Avengers: Infinity War 3D
Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
The Untouchables (1987)
Wild Tales (2014) anthology and the 1998 X-Files flick being a connected part of the series-mythology don't really count as movies but are both excellent 9/10's.

How-to-watch Recommendations:
- foreign-language entries in their original language so you get to appreciate the full range of the acting, the intent of the creators and the original audio mix (essential for immersion). As most of you know, subtitles are easy to digest once you get used to it.
- Home Projector with decent speakers makes movie-watching a really special joy. Most of my watches are DVDs, their dated resolution is often no issue. However, 3D films are recommended in uncompressed 1080p Bluray.

- DirectorStanley KubrickEstrellasKeir DulleaGary LockwoodWilliam SylvesterDespués de descubrir un artefacto misterioso enterrado debajo de la superficie lunar, la humanidad emprende una búsqueda para encontrar sus orígenes con la ayuda de una supercomputadora inteligente.2001 is still widely-regarded as the greatest sci-fi film ever, why then do so few attempt to follow it? The formula is no secret: intelligent & epic with realistic characters playing professional non-emo roles. Interstellar, Gravity, Arrival etc all failed as they put too much weight on emotional main characters, thinking that's the most effective way to pull the audience in. 2001 proved 50 years ago that's not what we want from our sci-fi: we want grand ideas which tickle the intellect, we don't want to be distracted by one sole character's emotional issues, issues that better suit being handled via a family-drama film. Deep sci-fi as a genre isn't about human emotion: it's about our imagination. 2001 will be lauded in another 50 years time while the afore-mentioned films will be forgotten.
Let's make sci-fi deep again! - DirectorJohn BoormanEstrellasNigel TerryHelen MirrenNicholas ClayMerlín el mago ayuda a Arturo Pendragón a unir a los británicos en torno a la Mesa Redonda de Camelot, incluso cuando fuerzas oscuras conspiran para destruirla.Where 2001 is for the mind, Excalibur is for the heart. Almost overwhelmingly-stirring, nicely balanced by striking eccentricities of dialogue & direction. A dream movie.
- DirectorPark Chan-wookEstrellasChoi Min-sikYoo Ji-taeKang Hye-jeongDespués de ser secuestrado y encarcelado durante quince años, un hombre es liberado, solo para descubrir que debe encontrar al que lo capturó en cinco días.Perfect execution all round. Choi Min-Sik ties with Daniel Day-Lewis (There Will Be Blood) in offering us the greatest of acting performances.
- DirectorPaul Thomas AndersonEstrellasDaniel Day-LewisPaul DanoCiarán HindsUna historia sobre la familia, la religión, el odio, y la locura, en torno a un buscador de petróleo en los primeros días de esta industria.Proper cinema. As with all 10/10's TWBB has a gorgeously-effective soundtrack which elevates the hypnotic drama to another level.
- DirectorFrancis Ford CoppolaEstrellasMartin SheenMarlon BrandoRobert DuvallUn soldado de los Estados Unidos en Vietnam es mandado a asesinar a un coronel de las fuerzas especiales que se cree un dios.Poetic horror. Spellbinding.
Watch the original cut if you haven't seen it before. The Redux is good but the film loses its perfect pacing so better save it for the rewatch. - DirectorAlan ParkerEstrellasBob GeldofChristine HargreavesJames LaurensonUna estrella de rock problemática cae en la locura en medio de su aislamiento físico y social.The greatest album of all time gets a film outing, and it couldn't be better.
- DirectorIrvin KershnerEstrellasMark HamillHarrison FordCarrie FisherLos rebeldes han vencido al Imperio en el planeta helado Hoth. Luke Skywalker empieza a entrenar como Jedi con Yoda, mientras sus amigos son perseguidos por Darth Vader.It's true what they say: Empire is the best Star Wars, and thus one of the greatest films of all time.
As with all original trilogy, watch the 'original' Originals, available on certain older DVD releases, or online as unofficial "despecialized" editions: original theatrical cuts but with the recent HD remastering. - DirectorTerry GilliamEstrellasJohnny DeppBenicio Del ToroTobey MaguireUn periodista bizarro y su abogado psicópata viajan a Las Vegas para una serie de aventuras psicodélicas.The funniest and most accurate portrayal of total psychedelic hedonism.
- DirectorFrank CapraEstrellasJames StewartDonna ReedLionel BarrymoreUn ángel es enviado por los cielos para ayudar a un hombre de negocios desesperado en su frustración, y le muestra como sería la vida si nunca hubiese existido.Saw this for the first time at age 42...felt actual tears in my eyes (very rare for me). Powerful life-affirming stuff!
- DirectorRobert WiseEstrellasWilliam ShatnerLeonard NimoyDeForest KelleyEl almirante James T. Kirk retoma el mando del USS Enterprise para interceptar una nave extraterrestre de enorme poder cercana a la Tierra.Hard sci-fi is more of a book genre than one we see in film, here is its best cinema example after Kubrick's 2001: epic science fiction space story of the kind we rarely see anymore. No previous Trek experience required. Recommend first original cut, thereafter then the Director's Edition as a rewatch.
- DirectorNelson ShinEstrellasOrson WellesRobert StackLeonard NimoyLos Autobots deben detener a un colosal robot consumidor de planetas que persigue la Matriz de Liderazgo Autobot. Al mismo tiempo, deben defenderse de un ataque total de los Decepticons.I'm still bemused by the success of the irritating modern CGI movies. I'm still amazed by how good the 1986 animated effort is. Chock full of memorable scenes, and an incredible Big Bad.
- DirectoresJaume BalagueróPaco PlazaEstrellasJonathan D. MellorManuela VelascoÓscar ZafraPara determinar la situación en el interior, un supuesto jefe de medicina y un equipo de fuerzas especiales entran en la zona de cuarentena de un complejo de apartamentos infectado.Adds enticing mythology and a memorable support cast to the hectic visceral REC.
REC 3/4 are sadly not worth watching. - DirectoresJaume BalagueróPaco PlazaEstrellasManuela VelascoFerran TerrazaJorge-Yamam SerranoUn reportero de televisión y un camarógrafo siguen a un equipo de emergencias a un oscuro edificio de viviendas y rápidamente se ven atrapados dentro con algo aterrador.Powerful zombie horror. Intense as hell!
- DirectoresMartin RosenJohn HubleyEstrellasJohn HurtRichard BriersRalph RichardsonUn grupo de conejos huye de su madriguera condenada y se enfrenta a muchos peligros para encontrar y proteger su nuevo hogar.Beauty is in the eye of the rabbit. So much soul here.
- DirectorJohn HustonEstrellasGregory PeckRichard BasehartLeo GennEl único superviviente de un barco ballenero perdido relata la historia de la obsesión autodestructiva de su capitán por cazar a la ballena blanca, Moby Dick.That the giant whale still looks more spectacularly tangible than any modern CGI efforts just shows what a masterclass this production is. Add the great build-up, memorable characters and realistic whaling to the mix.
- DirectorKen RussellEstrellasWilliam HurtBlair BrownBob BalabanUn psicofisiólogo experimenta con drogas y un tanque de privación sensorial donde tiene visiones que cree que son recuerdos genéticos.Impressive on first watch, many years later a rewatch confirmed it as one of the greatest of all time. Mixes hard sci-fi with trippy dream logic & artful direction.
- DirectorFrancis Ford CoppolaEstrellasGary OldmanWinona RyderAnthony HopkinsEl centenario vampiro Conde Drácula viaja a Inglaterra para seducir a su prometida e infligir estragos en el extranjero.Darkly-horrific yet sympathetic romance, and by far the best filmic telling of the great tale of Dracula.
- DirectorRidley ScottEstrellasSigourney WeaverTom SkerrittJohn HurtCuando un barco mercante espacial percibe una transmisión desconocida como una llamada de socorro, un miembro de la tripulación es atacado por una misteriosa forma de vida. Pronto se dan cuenta de que su ciclo vital acaba de comenzar.The original and best. In music as in film, it's the quiet moments in between the loud which accentuate the thrills (if done expertly, which this is). More realistic characters also improve the immersion.
Aliens is still a very good sequel, and Prometheus is entertaining (but messy). Alien 3 & Resurrection aren't worth a watch, unfortunately. Covenant is awful. - DirectorOren PeliEstrellasKatie FeatherstonMicah SloatMark FredrichsDespués de mudarse a un típico barrio residencial, una joven pareja comienza a sentir ruidos extraños. Deciden dejar una cámara filmando por la noche, para captar esa extraña presencia.The only horror film to make me feel genuinely uneasy after watching. Needs to be watched alone...after midnight...no lights. Surprisingly holds up well on a rewatch years later.
Parts 2 & 3 as well as The Marked Ones are very good. Part 4 is a bore. Ghost Dimension is a disappointing lightweight copout.
As with all PA films, watch the original cuts rather than extended editions so you get decent pacing. - DirectorOrson WellesEstrellasOrson WellesJoseph CottenDorothy ComingoreTras la muerte de un magnate de la industria editorial, los periodistas se apresuran a descubrir el significado de la última palabra que pronunció.Famous for often topping Greatest Movie Of All Time lists. Turns out it's not far off! Addictive story-telling, worth rewatches every few years.
- DirectorStanley KubrickEstrellasMalcolm McDowellPatrick MageeMichael BatesEn el futuro, un sádico líder de pandilla es encarcelado y se ofrece como voluntario para un experimento, pero no sale como estaba planeado.
- DirectorQuentin TarantinoEstrellasUma ThurmanDavid CarradineMichael MadsenTras eliminar a algunos miembros de la banda que intentaron asesinarla el día de su boda, "Mamba Negra" intenta acabar con los demás, especialmente con Bill, su antiguo jefe, que la había dado por muerta.Alongside Kubrick, Tarantino technically also bags 3 films in the top 50 but Kill Bill 1 & 2 is clearly one production. And what a production! It more than pays tribute to the classic martial art flicks, it surpasses them. 2 is slightly preferred over 1 due to the disarming change of pace with the 'grave scene'.
- DirectorQuentin TarantinoEstrellasUma ThurmanDavid CarradineDaryl HannahDespués de despertar de un coma de cuatro años, un ex asesino se vengó del equipo de asesinos que la traicionaron.1 is just as immense as 2, tho'...one of the greatest final battles in film too.
- DirectorRichard MarquandEstrellasMark HamillHarrison FordCarrie FisherTras una atrevida misión para rescatar a Han Solo de la cabaña de Jabba, los rebeldes parten hacían Endor para destruir la más poderosa Estrella de la Muerte. Mientras tanto, Luke intenta traer a Darth Vader de vuelta del lado oscuro, sin caer en la trampa del Emperador.Used to be my favourite as a kid, but now these old critic's eyes see the Ewoks for what they are: cute teddybears who defeat the most powerful troops The Emperor can muster!
Apart from that, there's still so much magic here. Features one of cinema's most powerful scenes: namely Luke, Vader and the Big Bad.
As with all original trilogy, watch the 'original' Originals, available on certain older DVD releases, or online as unofficial "despecialized" editions: original theatrical cuts but with the recent HD remastering. - DirectorGeorge LucasEstrellasMark HamillHarrison FordCarrie FisherLuke Skywalker une fuerzas con un Caballero Jedi, un piloto arrogante, un wookie y dos droides para salvar a la galaxia de la estación de batalla del Imperio que destruye el mundo, mientras intenta rescatar a la Princesa Leia del misterioso Darth Vader.One of the most talked-about films in history, and the first in an almost-perfect trilogy. The trench run at the end remains spinetingly epic!
