- DirectorMartin McDonaghStarsColin FarrellBrendan GleesonCiarán HindsAfter a job gone wrong, hitman Ray and his partner await orders from their ruthless boss in Bruges, Belgium, the last place in the world Ray wants to be.Perhaps Colin Farrell's finest performance.
- DirectorFred DekkerStarsJason LivelyTom AtkinsSteve MarshallAlien brain parasites, entering humans through the mouth, turn their host into a killing zombie. Some teenagers start to fight against them.A throwback with laughs, gore, and an interesting, if not completely ridiculous, storyline. Hard to have more fun watching a horror film. Will gain more cult-classic status with age.
- DirectorTerry JonesStarsJohn CleeseTerry GilliamEric IdleThe comedy team takes a look at life in all of its stages in their own uniquely silly way.Some have argued that this is funnier than the Holy Grail. I wouldn't go that far, but it's extremely funny.
- DirectorAdam GreenStarsShawn AshmoreEmma BellKevin ZegersThree skiers stranded on a chairlift are forced to make life-or-death choices, which prove more perilous than staying put and freezing to death.Surprisingly realistic, and gritty horror entry from an up-n-coming director.
- DirectorTerry GilliamStarsBruce WillisMadeleine StoweBrad PittIn a future world devastated by disease, a convict is sent back in time to gather information about the man-made virus that wiped out most of the human population on the planet.An intellectual Sci-fi that gets better with repeated viewings.
- DirectorMarc AbrahamStarsGreg KinnearLauren GrahamAlan AldaRobert Kearns takes on the Detroit automakers who he claims stole his idea for the intermittent windshield wiper.I don't know the real story, but something tells me they followed it meticulously.
- DirectorLuke GreenfieldStarsEmile HirschNicholas DownsElisha CuthbertA teenager's dreams come true when a former porn star moves in next door and they fall in love.When I think of great modern day comedies, which are few and far in between, the first one's that come to mind are Anchorman, Office Space, Swingers, and this gem starring the smokin' hot Elisha Cuthbert. Really pushes the envelope with its' subject matter and dialogue. Thankfully, it earns its' 'R' rating. Tim Olyphant's break out role as the 'porn-pimp'.
- DirectorRobert HarmonStarsRutger HauerC. Thomas HowellJennifer Jason LeighA young man who escapes the clutches of a murderous hitchhiker is subsequently stalked by the hitcher and framed for his crimes.Hitcher is flat-out terrifying. Rutger Hauer is one of the best villains to ever hit the screen.
- DirectorJeff WadlowStarsSean FarisDjimon HounsouAmber HeardA frustrated and conflicted teenager arrives at a new high school to discover an underground fight club, and meets a classmate who begins to coerce him into fighting.Dismissed for its' cliche'd teeny bopper cover, but those that actually watched it were pleasantly surprised. Well-paced and anything but dull.
- DirectorDenzel WashingtonStarsDenzel WashingtonForest WhitakerKimberly EliseA drama based on the true story of Melvin B. Tolson, a professor at Wiley College Texas. In 1935, he inspired students to form the school's first debate team, which went on to challenge Harvard in the national championship.Just a solid story with excellent performances.
- DirectorAdam RifkinStarsEdward FurlongGiuseppe AndrewsJames DeBelloIn 1978, four rebellious teenagers try to scam their way into a KISS concert.Edward Furlong's best. As crude and hard to watch as it is funny, but it works.
- DirectorHarry ElfontDeborah KaplanStarsJennifer Love HewittEthan EmbryCharlie KorsmoA complete graduating class, consisting of beautiful girls, geeks and promising footballers, assemble at a rich classmate's residence for a party. Interesting developments follow at the get-together.Kind of like Superbad in that it all evolves around the final party. Very funny entertainment with enough heart to keep it afloat. Not great, but deserving of the list.
- DirectorDavid SeltzerStarsMichael DouglasMelanie GriffithLiam NeesonAn American woman of Irish and Jewish-German parentage goes undercover in Nazi Germany.This critically bashed spy fare is unrealistic, but we still find a way to care for the characters and the situations they're fighting through.
- DirectorAllan MoyleStarsChristian SlaterSamantha MathisAnthony Luke LuceroMark runs a pirate radio station and causes an uproar when he speaks his mind and enthralls fellow teens.Very under-rated, if for no other reason than Slater's performance. Talk Hard! Great music.
- DirectorClint EastwoodStarsClint EastwoodTommy Lee JonesDonald SutherlandWhen retired engineer Frank Corvin is called upon to rescue a failing satellite, he insists that his equally old teammates accompany him into space.Similar to 'Shining Through' in that you may have a hard time believing certain aspects of the film, but here again, the cast and their performances save the day.
- DirectorWolfgang PetersenStarsGeorge ClooneyMark WahlbergJohn C. ReillyAn unusually intense storm pattern catches some commercial fishermen unaware and puts them in mortal danger.Suprisingly captavating film with excellent performances.
- DirectorRoger DonaldsonStarsKevin CostnerBruce GreenwoodShawn DriscollIn October 1962, the Kennedy administration struggles to contain the Cuban Missile Crisis.An in-depth look at the oval office at the start of the Cuban missile crisis.
- DirectorTerence YoungStarsSean ConneryClaudine AugerAdolfo CeliJames Bond heads to the Bahamas to recover two nuclear warheads stolen by S.P.E.C.T.R.E. Agent Emilio Largo in an international extortion scheme.Often overlooked Bond classic starring Sean Connery. Must-have been... many people don't know that Never Say Never Again is just a remake of this film. Sean never thought it received its' due.
- DirectorJeffrey NachmanoffStarsDon CheadleGuy PearceArchie PanjabiWhen straight arrow FBI agent Roy Clayton heads up the investigation into a dangerous international conspiracy, all clues seem to lead back to former U.S. Special Operations officer, Samir Horn.Well-paced terrorist-plot thriller with a nice twist.
- DirectorMarco KreuzpaintnerStarsKevin KlineKathleen GatiPaulina GaitanAdriana, 13, is kidnapped in Mexico City by Russian sex traffickers. Her criminal 17 y.o. brother starts looking for her. Across the border in Texas, he gets help from a cop.I found Kevin Kline made his role work with virtually no dialogue, and 'Trade' keeps the viewer interested.
- DirectorDavid MametStarsVal KilmerDerek LukeWilliam H. MacyThe investigation into a kidnapping of the daughter of a high-ranking US government official.Exciting Val Kilmer film. The best he's had in years.
- DirectorJason ReitmanStarsGeorge ClooneyVera FarmigaAnna KendrickRyan's job is to travel around the country firing off people. When his boss hires Natalie, who proposes firing people via video conference, he tries to convince her that her method is a mistake.Tough subject matter, but this is a well-made film with a top-notch performance from George Clooney.
- DirectorMel BrooksStarsGene WilderMadeline KahnMarty FeldmanAn American grandson of the infamous scientist, struggling to prove that his grandfather was not as insane as people believe, is invited to Transylvania, where he discovers the process that reanimates a dead body.My favorite Mel Brooks film. Every view brings something new.
- DirectorMiguel ArtetaStarsMichael CeraPortia DoubledayJean SmartWhile his trailer trash parents teeter on the edge of divorce, Nick Twisp sets his sights on dream girl Sheeni Saunders, hoping that she'll be the one to take away his virginity.The realistic Scott Pilgrim. Odd, and original. Well-made.
- DirectorJohn BadhamStarsKevin CostnerDavid Marshall GrantRae Dawn ChongMarcus takes his kid brother, David, with him for a physical test and a brain scan, suspecting cerebral aneurysm like their dad died of. They head off on bikes for the big Rockies bike race with Marcus' Sarah driving the van.Despite some acting pitfalls - American Flyers is good entertainment.
- DirectorJay ChandrasekharStarsJay ChandrasekharKevin HeffernanSteve LemmeTwo brothers travel to Germany for Oktoberfest, only to stumble upon a secret, centuries-old competition described as a "Fight Club" with beer games.Made for drunken baffoons. Perhaps the funniest 'Beer' movie ever made.
- DirectorRob SchneiderStarsRob SchneiderDavid CarradineSally KirklandA weak con man panics when he learns he's going to prison for fraud. He hires a mysterious martial arts guru who helps transform him into a martial arts expert who can fight off inmates who want to hurt or love him.Rob Schneider's best. Not as 'over-the-top' as some of his other roles.
- DirectorHugh WilsonStarsBrendan FraserAlicia SilverstoneChristopher WalkenA naive man comes out into the world after spending 35 years in a nuclear fallout shelter.Brendan Fraser and Alicia Silverstone in this type of film certainly DOES NOT sound like my cup-of-tea, but this movie is great. Sissy Spacek and Christopher Walken steal the show.
- DirectorMichael CrichtonStarsMichael DouglasRip TornGeneviève BujoldWhen a young female doctor notices an unnatural amount of comas occurring in her hospital she uncovers a horrible conspiracy.Just another intense Michael Douglas thriller that most young movie watchers have missed.
- DirectorBobby RothStarsRandy QuaidKathryn HarroldJack WardenRandy Quaid stars as Kenny Lee, a talented but underachieving pro golfer trying to break through on the tour while learning that the most important things in life go far beyond the game.Randy Quaid stars in this little made for tv film about a struggling golf pro. Solid, for sure.
- DirectorJean-Jacques AnnaudStarsJude LawEd HarrisJoseph FiennesA Russian and a German sniper play a game of cat-and-mouse during the Battle of Stalingrad.This film is choppy in terms of dialogue and story, but it's saved with style and intense action sequences.
- DirectorFranc RoddamStarsMichael BiehnMatt CravenAnnie GrindlayA U.S. climbing team, funded by millionaire Clairborne is determined to conquer K2.For the budget, it comes off as one of the better mountain climbing movies ever made. Yeah, not a strong genre, but worth at least one viewing.
- DirectorEmilio EstevezStarsCharlie SheenEmilio EstevezLeslie HopeTwo garbage men uncover a conspiracy involving illegal toxic waste dumping and decide to bring the whole operation down.Playful and occasionally funny film starring the brothers. The story jumps around enough to keep us entertained. Good not great.
- DirectorClive BarkerStarsCraig ShefferDavid CronenbergAnne BobbyA troubled young man is drawn to a mythical place called Midian where a variety of friendly monsters are hiding from humanity. Meanwhile, a sadistic serial killer is looking for a patsy.Soon-to-be cult classic. Strange film.
- DirectorWes CravenStarsRachel McAdamsCillian MurphyBrian CoxA woman is kidnapped by a stranger on a routine flight. Threatened by the potential murder of her father, she is pulled into a plot to assist her captor in a political assassination.A fairly intense, lesser-known thriller.
- DirectorMichael HoffmanStarsSally FieldKevin KlineCathy MoriartyAn ambitious television soap actress connives with her producer to scuttle the career of the show's long-time star, but nothing works as they plan.Kevin Kline is fantastic.
- DirectorTi WestStarsJocelin DonahueTom NoonanMary WoronovIn 1983, financially struggling college student Samantha Hughes takes a strange babysitting job that coincides with a full lunar eclipse. She slowly realizes her clients harbor a terrifying secret, putting her life in mortal danger.A 2009 horror film that makes great effort and succeeds in looking like a classic from the early 80's.
- DirectorPaul VerhoevenStarsCarice van HoutenSebastian KochThom HoffmanIn the Nazi-occupied Netherlands during World War II, a Jewish singer infiltrates the regional Gestapo headquarters for the Dutch resistance.Verhoeven's production here is absolutely beautiful. If you're a stickler for historical accuracy then you might have some issues with this, but if you're not a historian, you'll find this to be an epic adventure with first rate cinematography and solid performances.
- DirectorJon AmielStarsBill MurrayJoanne WhalleyPeter GallagherWallace Ritchie is mistaken for a spy and must stop a plot to assassinate international leaders at a banquet.Classic Bill Murray on a 'B' movie platform.
- DirectorBetty ThomasStarsEddie MurphyOwen WilsonFamke JanssenA professional athlete has to help a U.S. government agent recover a missing jet.This critically land-blasted film actually has pretty good chemistry between Owen WIlson and Eddie Murphy. Funnier than its' given credit for.
- DirectorJames TobackStarsMolly RingwaldRobert Downey Jr.Dennis HopperA womanizer meets his match when he falls for a woman in debt to the mafia.I found that Dennis Hopper as the Dad gave this film the substance it needed to be an effective drama.
- DirectorJonathan HensleighStarsThomas JaneJohn TravoltaSamantha MathisAn undercover FBI agent becomes a vigilante and sets out to unleash his wrath upon the corrupt businessman who slaughtered his entire family at a reunion.Unfairly criticised. It's based on a comic-book people! This is an action-packed, entertaining film. The big fight scene in the middle is fantastic.
- DirectorPhil JoanouStarsCasey SiemaszkoAnnie RyanRichard TysonA nerd gets himself in hot water with the new bully, a quiet bad boy who challenges him to fight on the grounds of their high school after the day's end.'B' Movie production values - 'A' movie execution. Cult-classic.
- DirectorPeter HyamsStarsJean-Claude Van DammeMia SaraRon SilverMax Walker, an officer for a security agency that regulates time travel, must fend for his life against a shady politician who's intent on changing the past to control the future.About even with bloodsport and JCVD as Van Dammes' best. Fresh.
- DirectorDavid LynchStarsNicolas CageLaura DernWillem DafoeYoung lovers Sailor and Lula run from the variety of weirdos that Lula's mom has hired to kill Sailor.Wild is a good way to describe this.
- DirectorPeter GreenawayStarsRichard BohringerMichael GambonHelen MirrenAt Le Hollandais gourmet restaurant, every night is filled with opulence, decadence and gluttony. But when the cook, a thief, his wife and her lover all come together, they unleash a shocking torrent of sex, food, murder and revenge.Part film noir, part mystery, part acting powerhouse, but this film isn't for everyone.
- DirectorFrank A. CappelloStarsChristian SlaterElisha CuthbertWilliam H. MacyAn unhinged office worker who planned to go on a shooting spree at his workplace struggles with his newfound status as a hero after he ends up stopping a shooting spree instead.The real Office Space. Made with style, but supported on a terrifyingly realistic situation and performance from Christian Slater. Slater is fantastic here.
- DirectorWes AndersonStarsGeorge ClooneyMeryl StreepBill MurrayAn urbane fox cannot resist returning to his farm raiding ways and then must help his community survive the farmers' retaliation.Just fantastic. Stands right beside the stop-action Rudolph and Charlotte's web as a children's classic. One of the most under-viewed films of the year.
- DirectorLuc BessonStarsRie RasmussenJamel DebbouzeGilbert MelkiA beautiful woman helps an inept scam artist get his game together.Arborgasts' cinematography is worth the price of admission all by itself, but Luc Bessons' usual foxy companions and edgy subject matter make this a hidden gem. Severly under-rated.
- DirectorRichard LinklaterStarsKeanu ReevesWinona RyderRobert Downey Jr.An undercover cop in a not-too-distant future becomes involved with a dangerous new drug and begins to lose his own identity as a result.What an ambitious project/story! Maybe Keanu's best performance. I wish it had one more act - it was just getting really good when it ended.
- DirectorPaul W.S. AndersonStarsLaurence FishburneSam NeillKathleen QuinlanA rescue crew is tasked with investigating the mysterious reappearance of a spaceship that had been lost for seven years.Half horror, half sci-fi with a great cast.
- DirectorWes AndersonStarsBill MurrayOwen WilsonAnjelica HustonWith a plan to exact revenge on a legendary shark that killed his partner, oceanographer Steve Zissou (Bill Murray) rallies a crew that includes his estranged wife, a journalist, and a man who may or may not be his son.Chronically silly, yet undeniably fresh and beautiful to watch.
- DirectorBrad BirdStarsEli MarienthalHarry Connick Jr.Jennifer AnistonA young boy befriends a giant robot from outer space that a paranoid government agent wants to destroy.One of the best NON cgi animated American classics that never got the attention it deserved - except when Pixar was looking for new artists.
- DirectorAng LeeStarsChow Yun-FatMichelle YeohZiyi ZhangA young Chinese warrior steals a sword from a famed swordsman and then escapes into a world of romantic adventure with a mysterious man in the frontier of the nation.Garnered critical acclaim, but didn't get the audiences it truly deserved. A love story with fantastic action sequences.
- DirectorPaul GreengrassStarsMatt DamonJason IsaacsGreg KinnearDiscovering covert and faulty intelligence causes a U.S. Army officer to go rogue as he hunts for Weapons of Mass Destruction in an unstable region.One of the best jump str8 to video action movies in recent years.
- DirectorGus Van SantStarsMatt DillonKelly LynchJames Le GrosA pharmacy-robbing dope fiend and his crew pop pills and evade the law.A good movie about bad people.
- DirectorBrian De PalmaStarsAl PacinoSean PennPenelope Ann MillerA Puerto Rican former convict, just released from prison, pledges to stay away from drugs and violence despite the pressure around him and lead on to a better life outside of N.Y.C.Similar to Drugstore Cowboy with it's 'lead-actor on a stretcher' opening.
- DirectorBrian De PalmaStarsMichael CaineAngie DickinsonNancy AllenA mysterious blonde woman kills one of a psychiatrist's patients, and then goes after the high-class call girl who witnessed the murder.De Palma showing his master-craftsmanship of film noir. Keeps you guessing.
- DirectorBrian De PalmaStarsJohn TravoltaNancy AllenJohn LithgowA movie sound recordist accidentally records the evidence that proves that a car accident was actually murder and consequently finds himself in danger.Not De Palma's best, but certainly worth a view on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Good thriller.
- DirectorMartin ScorseseStarsRobert De NiroHarvey KeitelDavid ProvalIn New York City's Little Italy, a devoutly Catholic mobster must reconcile his desire for power, his feelings for his epileptic lover, and his devotion to his troublesome friend.One of the best independent films ever made. Scorcese gets the most from the cast, and the look and feel of the period is just spot on.
- DirectorSpike LeeStarsDenzel WashingtonClive OwenJodie FosterA police detective, a bank robber, and a high-power broker enter high-stakes negotiations after the criminal's brilliant heist spirals into a hostage situation.Under-appreciated! Inside Man is fantastic. One of Spike Lee's best.
- DirectorNeil JordanStarsStephen ReaJaye DavidsonForest WhitakerA British soldier kidnapped by the IRA soon befriends one of his captors, who then becomes drawn into the soldier's world.Subject matter over-shined the film - which is a real shame. This was a top notch production with an extremely suspenseful opening.
- DirectorRobert MarkowitzStarsLaurence FishburneAllen PayneMalcolm-Jamal WarnerThe true story of how a group of African-American pilots overcame racist opposition to become one of the finest United States fighter groups in World War II.An inspiring true story. A great made-for-tv movie.

- DirectorWalter HillStarsMichael ParéDiane LaneRick MoranisA mercenary is hired to rescue his ex-girlfriend, a singer who has been kidnapped by a motorcycle gang.Has it's cheese, but the music, style, and final fight scene make this worth the price of admission. Short, and in your face.

- DirectorJonathan DemmeStarsMichelle PfeifferAlec BaldwinPaul LazarA mobster's wife hates her lifestyle, but gets a chance to change it when her husband is killed - if the Long Island mob and the FBI let her.With all the serious mob-fare available - this is a fresh departure for the genre.

- DirectorDavid FincherStarsMichael DouglasDeborah Kara UngerSean PennAfter a wealthy San Francisco banker is given an opportunity to participate in a mysterious game, his life is turned upside down as he begins to question if it might really be a concealed conspiracy to destroy him.I know, I know. You're wondering how a big blockbuster like this made the list. I put 'The Game' on the list because it's a masterpiece that too many try to point at it and say this or that is wrong with the film, when in fact, it's one of the most memorable films of the last 2 decades.
- DirectorMitchell LichtensteinStarsJess WeixlerJohn HensleyJosh PaisStill a stranger to her own body, a high school student discovers she has a physical advantage when she becomes the object of male violence.Probably the most original horror story you'll ever see.
