A LIST OF ALL THE FILMS I HAVE SEEN (After I started applying a rating to everything, which was about 3 years ago) (In Alphabetical order after * rating) **** Stars A.I.: Artificial Intelligence Amadeus Alien Back to the Future Braveheart The Bridge on the River Kwai Casablanca Chinatown Close Encounters of the Third Kind Dances with Wolves Das Boot Dead Man Walking The Deer Hunter The Elephant Man E.T. - The Extra Terrestrial Forrest Gump The Godfather Goodfellas (Goodfellas is a rough, rough, rough movie, but does not glorify gangster life, and is possibly the best movie I have ever seen) Gosford Park The Hiding Place (Best movie ever made by Christians and for Christians. What a shame it is so hard to find it at your local video store) The Hustler (The Hustler is the Raging Bull for pool sharks. Both films display the awful lives of people, and the consequences for living an ungodly life. This is one of the best film biographies ever, along with Bull, Elephant Man, and Amadeus. Teenagers should watch this if they want to see the devastating effects of being an alcoholic.) JFK It�s a Wonderful Life Jaws The King of Comedy Lawrence of Arabia The Lion King (Possibly the best-animated film I�ve ever seen. It also gives us a taste for what it will be like when Jesus returns, (as Simba returns to his kingdom), and gives other spiritual illustrations) Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers Minority Report Monty Python and the Holy Grail My Fair Lady The Mission Raging Bull (Raging Bull pretty much ditto with the language, and violence of Goodfellas, but this one is the second best movie I�ve seen, both done by Scorsese, both depict awful lives of people) Rain Man A River Runs Through It Schindler's List (Schindler�s List is a violent world that thoroughly shows us what the Jews went through in the Holocaust, could almost be considered essential for a Christian to see, the sex scenes should be excluded though) The Sound of Music Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi The Thin Red Line (1998) (Probably best war movie I have ever seen) 2001: A Space Odyssey Toy Story Toy Story 2 The Truman Show Unforgiven Vertigo West Side Story ***1/2 Stars The Adventures of Robin Hood The Age of Innocence (The film would have been a masterpiece if it wasn�t for Daniel�s performance, who looked unsure of himself in the role) Aladdin Annie Hall (Annie Hall is not 4 stars, because I felt guilty laughing at things Christian�s consider sin) Apocalypse Now As Good As it Gets Babe A Beautiful Mind Beauty and The Beast (1991) Bourne Identity, The (2002) A Bug's Life Cast Away A Christmas Story The Cider House Rules The Coal Miners Daughter Dark City Deliverance Die Hard Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas The Emperor's New Groove Englishman Who Went Up a Hill but Came Down a Mountain, The The English Patient Ferris Bueller's Day Off Frequency The Fugitive Gladiator (2000) Glory Good Will Hunting (Contains loads of language, but in underneath it is a realistic, touching story) High Noon Homeward Bound Homeward Bound II: Lost in San Francisco Hoop Dreams The Hudsucker Proxy The Hunchback of Notre Dame The Iron Giant Key Largo K-PAX Life is Beautiful (1998) Mad Max The Matrix Memento (It�s hard to sympathize with its characters, but the swift direction, editing, and backwards storytelling make up for it) Mission: Impossible Mr. Holland's Opus Mrs. Doubtfire North by Northwest Notting Hill O Brother, Where Art Thou? One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (A man says that he is proud of having sex. But even though he says it, I�m not sure what view the film took on the situation, although I�m leaning toward its negative view) The Others (2001) The Patriot Platoon (The film is perfect for an hour, and would get four stars. The second half drags, and isn�t as interesting, but is still good. Rated R. for extreme language and war violence) Pleasantville (Ignoring the point that Pleasantville takes a positive view of premarital sex) Psycho (1960) Raiders of the Lost Ark Rear Window (Sorry about Rear Window, need to see again) Road to Perdition Saving Private Ryan Sense and Sensibility (Sense and Sensibility is an absolutely wonderful, romantic film barred by a bit too happy of an ending which leaves the viewer satisfied, but wishing for realism and true emotion, which is only lacked in the last bit) The Shawshank Redemption Shine Shrek Singin' in the Rain (I probably underrated this, but I need to see more musicals, and this one again to be able to judge it correctly) Spaceballs The Terminator 12 Angry Men What Dreams May Come (A story that portrays heaven very incorrectly, but if you ignore that fact, and take it as an enjoyable film made by people that are misinformed spiritually, you will probably enjoy it�it�s not offensive, it�s just confused) Wolf *** Stars Airplane Apollo 13 Blade Runner Bowfinger Catch Me if You Can Chicken Run Contact Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon The Count of Monte Cristo (2002) Days of Heaven Deep Blue Sea Dragonheart Dumb and Dumber Fargo (Rated R. for lots of language from criminals. This is a slightly overrated movie from the Coen Brothers. It wasn�t as thrilling and suspenseful as I hoped it would be. Still some great comedic jokes, and did the �Coen thing�, although I can�t really point out what that is.) Galaxy Quest The Game Ghost The Ghost and the Darkness A Goofy Movie Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade The Last of the Mohicans The Last Temptation of Christ (A Martin Scorsese film about Jesus� struggle between being a man, and God�s perfect son. The period detail is fantastic, and the crucifixion, and Jesus� beating is depicted with all the violence that was truly inflicted upon him. The film has many good things to say about Christianity, but it also gets things very mixed up sometimes. Judas tells Jesus that he betray him because he loved him, which is inaccurate. And Jesus is tempted by Satan, and possibly gives into the temptations (it is also possible that he just saw what could happen, like he saw the things Satan tempted him with), which could not happen. Overall, the film will bring up good discussion, and make people go into their bible to investigate the true and untrue points of the film.) Liar Liar The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (I know, it�s a pretty low rating for the film, but it lost my attention near the last half hour) For Love of the Game Men in Black Mickey Blue Eyes Monsters, Inc. Mouse Hunt The Mummy (1999) The Naked Gun Planet of the Apes (2001) (So sorry, I really should see the old one also, because it�s really unfair to rate this one without seeing the old one) Raising Arizona Robin Hood: Men in Tights The Santa Clause 2 (Truly wasn�t wonderful, but since it was Christmas, I forgave its flaws cus God came to forgive ours on Christmas, although the film thinks the true meaning of Christmas is Christmas cheer, but what do you expect from Hollywood?) Shanhigh Knights Spiderman Spy Game The Sixth Sense Sleepless in Seattle Sling Blade Small Time Crooks Spy Game Terminator 2: Judgement Day (Ultra violent, too violent for a fun sci-fi film to be exact, I saw the first one off TV, so I don�t know about it) Thelma & Louise Unbreakable Undercover Brother The Usual Suspects X-Men **1/2 Stars About A Boy (Quite a strange film. Not as romantic as �Notting Hill�, Hugh Grant�s best romantic comedy. Not as funny as it either.) The Color of Money (This is the sequel to the Hustler, by master director Scorsese. Unfortunately, he and the cast (especially Newman) are the only things good about the picture. There�s really no substance) Die Another Day Dinosaur Edward Scissorhands Fierce Creatures (Another guilty Annie Hall-type picture) Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within Happy Gilmore Inspector Gadget (Please don�t hate me for giving it THAT high of a rating!) The Land Before Time Manhattan (Didn�t feel considerable chemistry between Allen, Keaten, but I don�t think I�m a big Woody Allen fan, and I got tired of Allen�s low morals, and extraordinarily positive views of premarital sex. The music is fantastic, by the tunes of Gershwin, and the black and white cinematography is unforgettable though.) Meet the Parents (2000) MIIB (Men in Black II) Men of Honor Pearl Harbor Predator Rat Race (2001) (Rat Race was one of the weirdest movie experiences I�ve had. The things I saw were funny, but I didn�t laugh out loud at them, and I�m not quite sure why. I�m attributing it to letting a scene go too long before an edit, and somewhat long lapses between jokes and gags) Red Planet Remember the Titans The Ring (2002) Rush Hour 2 Shanghai Noon Showtime Signs Speed (It seemed like Die Hard on a bus) Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace Thirteen Days The Time Machine Trapped in Paradise Volcano The Waterboy ** Stars Anaconda Black Hawk Down Cats & Dogs Daredevil The Fifth Element Miss Congeniality Mission Impossible 2 Pay it Forward Star Wars Episode II- Attack of the Clones U-571 Someone to Watch Over Me (Although I truly admire Ridley Scott, I have a problem with this film. This film showed no real punishment, or any bad aspect of having an affair, and made it look fun, and like you could come back and everything would be just peachy with your wife. It still was wonderfully atmospheric, but not particularly memorable or involving either) *1/2Stars The Fast and the Furious Spy Hard Surf Ninjas The Thirteenth Warrior Battlefield Earth (This would have been more like � or 1 star, but the special effects were fairly good, and the ending wasn�t�well�awfully too bad. At least John Travolta stopped talking) Recess: School�s Out *star Lake Placid Mission to Mars Scooby Doo �*star |
