Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983)

Inferior to the previous two but still a great movie

[10/10 · 30 March 2019]

This movie is slightly underrated I think but it still holds true to the beauty of the originals. Mark Hamill is again phenomenal in the third installment of George Lucas' fantasy world and it's really amazing.

Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)

GL, SS, HF and the rest is history.

[10/10 · 30 March 2019]

One of the most iconic heroes in movie history. You got George Lucas fresh out of episode 5, you got Steven Spielberg with movies such as Jaws to his name and you got Harrison Ford who by the time Raiders had come out he was already a household name. I think that--is a formula to success.

Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977)

Great

[10/10 · 30 March 2019]

I feel like I prefer episode IV to episode V for one reason only. Sir Alec Guinness. I do accept the fact that Episode V is better but it was all made possible cause of the original and the story and connection of Obi-Wan and Darth Vader.

Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980)

The best movie out of the 3

[10/10 · 30 March 2019]

Out of the first 3 movies this one is clearly the best. Still dear to my heart to this day. It's fun, exciting, breath taking at times but overall joyful

The Godfather Part II (1974)

To some better than the original

[10/10 · 30 March 2019]

To some this movie is better than the original and I can see why. But to call it a sequel is a travesty. This film is way too good to be considered The Godfather Part II. Al Pacino reprising his role as the powerful now Boss of the Corleone family. In this film you see the a cold-blooded Michael that would do anything in his power to secure the happiness and well-being of himself and his family. From the house shooting to the killing of his own brother. But, with a beautiful fairytale about the up-bringing of his father in the States and his struggles. Robert De Niro giving one of what is considered to be his best performance to date. The beginning of a life in stealing and killing, his friendship with Clemenza and the killing of an Italian Boss in Sicily to revenge his mother's death. This movie is as good if not better than it's original.

The Godfather (1972)

Perfection

[10/10 · 30 March 2019]

Alright, this movie is simply perfect. I don't have one bad thing to say about it honestly. Phenomenal acting from few of Hollywood's greatest talents. Al Pacino gives a career defying performance in The Godfather along side Marlon Brando, James Caan, Robert Duvall and a young Diane Keaton. This movie is simply perfect. This adaptation of Mario Puzo's book tells the tale of an immigrant living the American Dream. But even though all of the starts were absolutely phenomenal in their individual roles only one remains more iconic than the others--Marlon Brando as Don Vito. Fans of the movie will come back and watch it again and again to witness Brando in his absolute finest.

The Dark Knight (2008)

Christopher Nolan is a genius.

[10/10 · 30 March 2019]

This movie is much more than a comic book film. It's not a perfect comic book movie, it's simply almost a perfect movie. Christopher Nolan is not your average filmmaker. Christopher Nolan is simply a genius.

12 Angry Men (1957)

Perfect in every way possible

[10/10 · 30 March 2019]

This is a film where tension comes from personality conflict, dialogue and body language, not action. Although it may sound ungallant, these 12 Angry Men, are all right without distaff glamour. Their dramas are powerful and provocative enough to keep a viewer spellbound. Too few films take on the art of arguing as a subject; we could certainly use more of them, but until then, Lumet's window into strained civic duty will continue to serve mightily. But if I have to sum up this movie it would be something like this: This movie is a masterpiece. That term gets thrown around a lot -- it's a very easy thing to say about great films like this -- but this movie is one of the best. This is one of the very few films that I will call perfect.

Rear Window (1954)

Hitchcock at his finest.

[10/10 · 30 March 2019]

This movie has you on the edge of your seat with every little thing that plays on. It's chilling and thrilling in every scene and towards the end you are uncertain of what will happen to the protagonists. Hitchcock's genius is shown in the film every time the camera turns. It's the illusion of voyeurism that keeps us watching. The ability to see what happens without being seen. You start to care about the characters as soon as the film starts. Marriage is the theme overshadowed by murder. James Stewart's finest performance if you ask me and the captivating Grace Kelly as beautiful as ever. This movie is 65 years old, but if you watched the movie without knowing the date of the release, you wouldn't think of it to be older than 10 years old. It has stand the test of time again and again and it has come out victorious. I guess what I am really saying is...if you haven't watched it yet--what have you been doing?
