Black Hawk Down

Enemy of the State

LA Confidential

Million Dollar Baby

Silence of the Lambs

Truman Show

Blade Runner

Fugitive, The

JFK

Groundhog Day

Gattaca

Demolition Man

Reservoir Dogs

 

short list of movies that I really, really liked on first viewing (all on DVD). I didn't count anything seen theatrically or recent as I have many favourites of course, being into movies now and seeing a lot of them. These stand out because I bought a truckload of DVDs and not that I have been harsh, but you go into a movie knowing nothing but its premise, sometimes not even, and then you see whether it surprises you by the end of it or if it's just OK, overrated, terrible etc. These are the flicks that mostly scored a straight A, and I was like "bloody hell that was a great movie/that was really fun". I'm glad there are relatively many but also not a lot. Also, I'd like to think it's my own eclectic taste, even if everyone's taste is unique. I don't think I am swayed on whether a movie is supposed to be good or held in esteem, as I haven't liked movies like Jaws, the Conversation, Pulp Fiction, Terminator etc. In some ways, I'm more critical expecting them to reach a standard. Of the list above, I guess the two which lived up to or surpassed expectations are Blade Runner and Groundhog Day. Most of the others I had no expectations.

^ Haha thanks, hope you like them!

 

Always nice to discover a new movie you really enjoy.

 

I'm going to add a film released last year but everyone ignored, that is About Time, which I found absolutely delightful. What a lovely movie. It's much better than the highly overrated Love Actually. I'm sad it didn't do better at the box office, but as it's not a movie that needs to do well for a sequel, I'm just glad it was made and hopefully in the future people will discover it.

For the others it is impossible for me to come up with a ranking. But those would be in a TOP 100 list:

 

 

 

 

Titanic

The Godfather

Sometimes in April

Mutiny on the Bounty

The Lion King

Jaws

American Beauty

Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back

No Country For Old Men

The Lord of the Rings - The Two Towers

Haeven (In a Better World)

Revolutionary Road

The Pianist

Sophie Scholl - Die letzten Tage

United 93

The Departed

The Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King

Gone Baby Gone

Zodiac

Das Leben der Anderen (The Life of Others)

Inception

Boyhood

The Queen

The Dark Knight

Der Untergang (Downfall)

Brokeback Mountain

Aladdin

Schindler's List

The Silence of the Lambs

The Hobbit - An Unexpected Journey

Halloween

Saving Private Ryan

Beauty and the Beast

Ben Hur

Scream

The King's Speech

Seven

Heavenly Creatures

Carnage

The Ten Commandments

Murder on the Orient Express

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

Lawrence of Arabia

Little Miss Sunshine

All Quiet on the Western Front

Most of them I would put in both a best and a favourite list, with exceptions such as the first Hobbit, Dante's Peak (no idea why I love that movie), Haeven, Sometimes in April and probably a few others which are just personal favourites.
