- DirectorIrvin KershnerStarsMark HamillHarrison FordCarrie FisherAfter the Rebel Alliance are overpowered by the Empire, Luke Skywalker begins his Jedi training with Yoda, while his friends are pursued across the galaxy by Darth Vader and bounty hunter Boba Fett.Wow, this movie is breath taking. It has it all, suspence, acting, story, twists and a hell of a plot (not to mention the CGI of the time and still holds up.). A big part of my childhood and nostalgic memories, and any time i could sit down and watch this movie. Not to drop the F-bomb but this is a *beep* epic movie!
- DirectorRichard KellyStarsJake GyllenhaalJena MaloneMary McDonnellAfter narrowly escaping a bizarre accident, a troubled teenager is plagued by visions of a man in a large rabbit suit who manipulates him to commit a series of crimes.This movie is great, and was i the only one crying in the end? I've ssen it about 10 times now and still see new details helping me understand the movie and it's message. This is not only worth watching, it's worth bying.
- DirectorLana WachowskiLilly WachowskiStarsKeanu ReevesLaurence FishburneCarrie-Anne MossWhen a beautiful stranger leads computer hacker Neo to a forbidding underworld, he discovers the shocking truth--the life he knows is the elaborate deception of an evil cyber-intelligence.People are gonna hate me for putting this movie on this list. This movie to me is a life changer, it represents the idea of a bigger more advanced reality which man so desperately try to achieve knowledge of. There is no correct answer to what message this movie tried to present but from what i can understand is "Don't be zombie minded" and "Don't become a part of the system". Needless to say i bought all three DVDs, and is waiting for the blu-ray.
- DirectorFrank DarabontStarsTim RobbinsMorgan FreemanBob GuntonOver the course of several years, two convicts form a friendship, seeking consolation and, eventually, redemption through basic compassion.What can i say which has not been said a million times about this movie? This movie is one of those who you can watch a hundred times and still see the end with an enjoyable smile on your face. This movie is as good as perfect but for me it did not effect my life as much as those which i have put on top of this movie. I've been looking for this movie a long time now in stores but where ever i go it's sold out, so i have not come as far as to buy it.
- DirectorFrank MillerQuentin TarantinoRobert RodriguezStarsMickey RourkeClive OwenBruce WillisAn exploration of the dark and miserable Basin City and three of its residents, all of whom are caught up in violent corruption.I know there is a few of the main stream movies which every one gives a ten or an eight on the voting panel here on IMDB but this movie is one of the few comic based movies i really can say is a perfect one. This movie is one of those rare movies which really has no grip on you other than the pure creation made by my favorite director Robert Rodriguez. He is truly a genius. He turns small budget movies into gold and all on his own.
- DirectorRoberto BenigniStarsRoberto BenigniNicoletta BraschiGiorgio CantariniWhen an open-minded Jewish waiter and his son become victims of the Holocaust, he uses a perfect mixture of will, humor and imagination to protect his son from the dangers around their camp.This movie gives me tears every time i see it. Simply the best war movie about the concentration camps in world war two. I can not stress how important this movie is, yes i know Schindlers List is a great movie as well but it did not give me the same sadness and feeling i got in this one. The 90's got some good movies and this one i specially worth mentioning. The sixth best movie I've seen, you can agree or disagree.
- DirectorHayao MiyazakiStarsDaveigh ChaseSuzanne PleshetteMiyu IrinoDuring her family's move to the suburbs, a sullen 10-year-old girl wanders into a world ruled by gods, witches and spirits, and where humans are changed into beasts.Who in their right mind would disagree with me when i say, BEST ANIMATED MOVIE EVER! I know people will get angry and say "It's not animation, it's anime.". They are the same thing, animation is movement, and in this case it's computer generated movement. This is the story of a young girl trapped in a world where supernatural and magic creatures go to spend their time. She has to overcome her fears and find the love to save her parents from the evil witch. She gets help from Haku which is a young wizard and the evil witches twin sister. If you have not seen this movie you have missed out on a lot of originality and a great story. 10/10
- DirectorTerry GilliamStarsJohnny DeppBenicio Del ToroTobey MaguireAn oddball journalist and his psychopathic lawyer travel to Las Vegas for a series of psychedelic escapades.Who needs drugs when this movie is perfectly legal? This is one of those who has no other purpose than to show us what really went down in the hippy period back in the 60's. This movie is so visually thrilling. It shows the hard dark side about a "fun" drug called LCD. Not to talk about the narrating and the dialog, it's hilarious and depressing to see those men caste away their health and lives in a narcotic nightmare.
- DirectorEdward ZwickStarsLeonardo DiCaprioDjimon HounsouJennifer ConnellyA fisherman, a smuggler, and a syndicate of businessmen match wits over the possession of a priceless diamond.This movie is beautiful. It tells the story about a middle aged African who get separated from his family during a revolution which happened in the late 90's. This movie has some stunning shots of Africa, i had no idea what a beautiful continent. It not only teaches value of a human but it teaches just as much hope. One of my all time favorite movie.
- DirectorRichard MarquandStarsMark HamillHarrison FordCarrie FisherAfter rescuing Han Solo from Jabba the Hutt, the Rebel Alliance attempt to destroy the second Death Star, while Luke struggles to help Darth Vader back from the dark side.I love Star Wars so much, as a fan of the original i bought the VHS of EBAY, as a fan of quality i bought the DVD's and as a fan of the big screen i bought the Blu-Ray. The Return of the Jedi is so great i can't describe it in words. What makes Empire Strikes Back better? well, the effects, the music and the battles are better in this one but STORY is an important factor. + since i am Norwegian i am proud that it was filmed in the Norwegian mountains.
People will bitch about me buying the Blu-Ray. I know there is a few stupid changes, but the great quality makes up for it.
