Along with Once Upon a Time In Hollywood, this is my favorite Tarantino film. Funny, exciting and satisfying making it one of the best films ever made.
Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood
Los Angeles, 1969. TV star Rick Dalton, a struggling actor specializing in westerns, and stuntman Cliff Booth, his best friend, try to survive in a constantly changing movie industry. Dalton is the neighbor of the young and promising actress and model Sharon Tate, who has just married the prestigious Polish director Roman Polanski…

Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood is one of the most pleasant surprises for a movie I've ever seen. Loved it so much.
Gladiator
In the year 180, the death of emperor Marcus Aurelius throws the Roman Empire into chaos. Maximus is one of the Roman army's most capable and trusted generals and a key advisor to the emperor. As Marcus' devious son Commodus ascends to the throne, Maximus is set to be executed. He escapes, but is captured by slave traders. Renamed Spaniard and forced to become a gladiator, Maximus must battle to the death with other men for the amusement of paying audiences.
Henry ESJ
Gladiator is phenominal, what else can I say. Ridley Scott I think made his best movie in this and he is really good with making us feel sympathy for characters.
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
Aragorn is revealed as the heir to the ancient kings as he, Gandalf and the other members of the broken fellowship struggle to save Gondor from Sauron's forces. Meanwhile, Frodo and Sam take the ring closer to the heart of Mordor, the dark lord's realm.
Henry ESJ
Where do I start. I don't have a single issue with this movie. This is top 10 best movies ever made. This easily is my favorite movie of all time. This is the most emotional LOTR and is the best. About 20 more minutes is added to this masterpiece to close all storylines and character arcs. This has so many memorable scenes and character moments that it became the most Oscar winning movie in history along with Titanic and Ben-Hur. I will say you don't have to like the movie, but you cannot talk **** about it. This is one of the best movies ever made and no one can question that. If you do, I sincerely want to know what's wrong with you.
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
Frodo and Sam are trekking to Mordor to destroy the One Ring of Power while Gimli, Legolas and Aragorn search for the orc-captured Merry and Pippin. All along, nefarious wizard Saruman awaits the Fellowship members at the Orthanc Tower in Isengard.
Henry ESJ
This is technically my second favorite movie of all time. It is one of the best sequels ever made and is my favorite sequel in movie history. I love this one because it is supposed to be what it is and it is arguably better than the book. Two Towers is pretty much amazing in every way.
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
Young hobbit Frodo Baggins, after inheriting a mysterious ring from his uncle Bilbo, must leave his home in order to keep it from falling into the hands of its evil creator. Along the way, a fellowship is formed to protect the ringbearer and make sure that the ring arrives at its final destination: Mt. Doom, the only place where it can be destroyed.
Henry ESJ
I consider LOTR Trilogy as my favorite movie. But If I were to rank them, this is my third favorite. Nearly everything about this movie is amazing. To where it became an instant classic to the character building, to everything else. This is one of the best movies ever made and I will watch it for many years to come.
1917
At the height of the First World War, two young British soldiers must cross enemy territory and deliver a message that will stop a deadly attack on hundreds of soldiers.
Henry ESJ
1917 is my second favorite war movie along with Dunkirk. This movie made such a technical achievement to make this film appear as if it was a single take. Sam Mendes is one of the best directors working today and he makes most films that are generally loved by the public. I really think that this is his best film.
Dunkirk
The story of the miraculous evacuation of Allied soldiers from Belgium, Britain, Canada and France, who were cut off and surrounded by the German army from the beaches and harbour of Dunkirk between May 26th and June 4th 1940 during World War II.
Henry ESJ
Dunkirk is my second favorite war movie along with 1917, this is absolutely stunning. This movie is susposed to signify the intensity of war and how important patriotism is in other countries. I will be watching this movie for many years to come and I love everything about it absolutely stunning.
Joker
During the 1980s, a failed stand-up comedian is driven insane and turns to a life of crime and chaos in Gotham City while becoming an infamous psychopathic crime figure.
Henry ESJ
Joker is one of the greatest movies of all time. Nothing has left me more blown away mentally than this film. This film is already a classic.
Inception
Cobb, a skilled thief who commits corporate espionage by infiltrating the subconscious of his targets is offered a chance to regain his old life as payment for a task considered to be impossible: "inception", the implantation of another person's idea into a target's subconscious.
Henry ESJ
Inception is one of Nolans best and one of my favorites. Its just so flipping cool and complicated two of the things that I love about movies. This became a classic in the movie industry and the movie will always be one of the best ever made.
Tenet
Armed with only one word - Tenet - and fighting for the survival of the entire world, the Protagonist journeys through a twilight world of international espionage on a mission that will unfold in something beyond real time.
Henry ESJ
Now Ill admit Tenet is not Nolan's best movie. But I love it so much I wanted to watch it over and over again based on how amazingly stunning it was and I adore a complicated movie. It gets hated on way to much and this was a very pleasing experience to me since I havent gotten in a theater for a long time.
Interstellar
The adventures of a group of explorers who make use of a newly discovered wormhole to surpass the limitations on human space travel and conquer the vast distances involved in an interstellar voyage.
Henry ESJ
Interstellar is amazing from start to finish. So many amazing aspects that leave audience questions is also why this movie is one of the best. I also remember this being one of my favorite movie theater experiences and was the first experiences where I felt like I was in a theater for more than 3 hours. Such an intense and surreal experience.
The Thin Red Line
The story of a group of men, an Army Rifle company called C-for-Charlie, who change, suffer, and ultimately make essential discoveries about themselves during the fierce World War II battle of Guadalcanal. It follows their journey, from the surprise of an unopposed landing, through the bloody and exhausting battles that follow, to the ultimate departure of those who survived.
Henry ESJ
Thin Red Line is one of the most incredible movies ever made and ridiculously underrated. The Thin Red Line does not get enough praise for how important it is to todays society and the philosophy within the film is about as compelling as the convincing brutality in Saving Private Ryan. I really think this film was sadly overshadowed by SPR.
The Godfather: Part II
In the continuing saga of the Corleone crime family, a young Vito Corleone grows up in Sicily and in 1910s New York. In the 1950s, Michael Corleone attempts to expand the family business into Las Vegas, Hollywood and Cuba.
Henry ESJ
Best movie ever made and my second favorite
Saving Private Ryan
As U.S. troops storm the beaches of Normandy, three brothers lie dead on the battlefield, with a fourth trapped behind enemy lines. Ranger captain John Miller and seven men are tasked with penetrating German-held territory and bringing the boy home.
Henry ESJ
This and The Thin Red Line are my favorite war movies. This one is brutally realistic and very heartfelt where it does absolute justice to our fellow WWII veterans.
12 Angry Men
The defense and the prosecution have rested and the jury is filing into the jury room to decide if a young Spanish-American is guilty or innocent of murdering his father. What begins as an open and shut case soon becomes a mini-drama of each of the jurors' prejudices and preconceptions about the trial, the accused, and each other.
Henry ESJ
One of the best ever made. One of the very flawless films ever made and a very investing story from start to finish
There Will Be Blood
Ruthless silver miner, turned oil prospector, Daniel Plainview, moves to oil-rich California. Using his son to project a trustworthy, family-man image, Plainview cons local landowners into selling him their valuable properties for a pittance. However, local preacher Eli Sunday suspects Plainview's motives and intentions, starting a slow-burning feud that threatens both their lives.
Henry ESJ
Riveted from start to finish nearly every single thing in this movie is amazing.
The Dark Knight Rises
Following the death of District Attorney Harvey Dent, Batman assumes responsibility for Dent's crimes to protect the late attorney's reputation and is subsequently hunted by the Gotham City Police Department. Eight years later, Batman encounters the mysterious Selina Kyle and the villainous Bane, a new terrorist leader who overwhelms Gotham's finest. The Dark Knight resurfaces to protect a city that has branded him an enemy.
Henry ESJ
The second best superhero movie of all time and has one of the best villains. Whatever shade is thrown towards this picture, just ignore it. A bunch of people were pissed off it didnt eclipse The Dark Knight
The Dark Knight
Batman raises the stakes in his war on crime. With the help of Lt. Jim Gordon and District Attorney Harvey Dent, Batman sets out to dismantle the remaining criminal organizations that plague the streets. The partnership proves to be effective, but they soon find themselves prey to a reign of chaos unleashed by a rising criminal mastermind known to the terrified citizens of Gotham as the Joker.
Henry ESJ
The best superhero movie ever made. Everything about this movie is gold. From start to finish the villain is incredible. Heath Ledger is not the only thing that's amazing from amazing effects both cgi and practical this movie is mind-blowing.
Batman Begins
Driven by tragedy, billionaire Bruce Wayne dedicates his life to uncovering and defeating the corruption that plagues his home, Gotham City. Unable to work within the system, he instead creates a new identity, a symbol of fear for the criminal underworld - The Batman.
Henry ESJ
The Third best superhero film ever made. Batman Begins does not eclipse both The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises, but this is perhaps the best origin story that we have ever gotten from a superhero movie so it ranks at least top 20 for me.
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
Jack Sparrow, a freewheeling 18th-century pirate, quarrels with a rival pirate bent on pillaging Port Royal. When the governor's daughter is kidnapped, Sparrow decides to help the girl's love save her.
Henry ESJ
This is the best Disney movie ever made and is my second favorite installment of the Pirates of The Caribbean Franchise. The story is easy to follow and the characters are some of the best ever. Gore Verbinski's direction really made this film work and this film will remain one of my favorites until I die.
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest
Captain Jack Sparrow works his way out of a blood debt with the ghostly Davy Jones to avoid eternal damnation.
Henry ESJ
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest is my third favorite POTC film and my favorite disney film. Theres not much to say about this film. Its incredible but I dont love it as much POTC 1 and 3. However this films special effects are some of the best of all time
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End
Captain Barbossa, long believed to be dead, has come back to life and is headed to the edge of the Earth with Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann. But nothing is quite as it seems.
Henry ESJ
Ok, Ill start by saying Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End is one of the most misunderstood masterpieces in movie history. So many people do not like this movie and for the love of it, I cannot understand why. This film has issues such as unnecessary scenes and crucial scenes that were cut out of the movie. This film as a Disney movie feels a bit dark. Yet what I just cant get is why people don't see that its clearly PG-13 and if they saw its predecessor, Dead Mans Chest then they would know that it is supposed to have that tone. Elizabeth Swann as one of the main characters is my favorite female character of all time due to how strong she is and her willingness to have an adventure and destroy the people who murdered her father. Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightley, Geoffrey Rush, Naomi Harris, Jack Davenport, Bill Nighy and Tom Hollander are so damn brilliant in the movie that they got me invested in this movie straight away. Long story short this is my favorite Disney and POTC movie of all time and it is one that you should watch, say no to the nay-sayers on this movie because they are insanely wrong.
