HuttonStarsRichard BurtonClint EastwoodMary UreAllied agents stage a daring raid on a castle where the Nazis are holding American brigadier general George Carnaby prisoner, but that's not all that's really going on.A true class War Film!

- DirectorJ. Lee ThompsonStarsDavid NivenGregory PeckAnthony QuinnA team of Allied saboteurs is assigned an impossible mission: infiltrate an impregnable Nazi-held Greek island and destroy the two enormous long-range field guns that prevent the rescue of 2,000 trapped British soldiers.An unbelieveable cast of pure brilliance!

- DirectorMartin CampbellStarsDaniel CraigEva GreenJudi DenchAfter earning 00 status and a licence to kill, secret agent James Bond sets out on his first mission as 007. Bond must defeat a private banker funding terrorists in a high-stakes game of poker at Casino Royale, Montenegro.The James Bond franchise could ill-afford another flop and Daniel Craig firmly put James Bond back on the map. A new type of Bond Film.
- DirectorWolfgang PetersenStarsJürgen ProchnowHerbert GrönemeyerKlaus WennemannA German U-boat stalks the frigid waters of the North Atlantic as its young crew experience the sheer terror and claustrophobic life of a submariner in World War II.A Chilling insight, into life under water during the dark days of WW2 for U-Boat Crews - The Battle of the Atlantic, 1941. An extremely real and closterfobic Film.
- DirectorJoseph VilsmaierStarsDominique HorwitzThomas KretschmannJochen NickelThe story follows a group of German soldiers, from their Italian R&R in the summer of 1942 to the frozen steppes of Soviet Russia and ending with the battle for Stalingrad.This B-Movie style of filming really sends home the authenticity of the production. A Great War Film, without a doubt!
- DirectorJean-Jacques AnnaudStarsJude LawEd HarrisJoseph FiennesA Russian and a German sniper play a game of cat-and-mouse during the Battle of Stalingrad.How do you tell another story about the Battle of Stalingrad, without re-telling the same story as Stalingrad, 1993? Well this Film certainly answers this question!
- DirectorGus Van SantStarsRobin WilliamsMatt DamonBen AffleckWill Hunting, a janitor at M.I.T., has a gift for mathematics, but needs help from a psychologist to find direction in his life.Classic!
- DirectorMichael CiminoStarsRobert De NiroChristopher WalkenJohn CazaleAn in-depth examination of the ways in which the Vietnam War impacts and disrupts the lives of several friends in a small steel mill town in Pennsylvania.A good film, but this film could have been alot better. The beginning is way too long and the film really should have been shot in a better quality camera - looks a bit fuzzy sometimes. Having said that, the POW camp scene is historic.
- DirectorOliver StoneStarsCharlie SheenTom BerengerWillem DafoeChris Taylor, a neophyte recruit in Vietnam, finds himself caught in a battle of wills between two sergeants, one good and the other evil. A shrewd examination of the brutality of war and the duality of man in conflict.The best use of music in a Film, that I have ever had the privilege of watching. Also the scene with Elias (Willen Dafoe) running through the jungle back to the Hue Helicopter, whilst being shot at by an entire VC Company is by far one of the best scenes in cinematic history! FACT!!
- DirectorNicholas RayStarsJames DeanNatalie WoodSal MineoA rebellious young man with a troubled past comes to a new town, finding friends and enemies.A troubled man, a troubled life, maybe he was not acting in this Film at all? Still...great flick!
- DirectorDavid CronenbergStarsNaomi WattsViggo MortensenArmin Mueller-StahlA teenager who dies during childbirth leaves clues in her journal that could tie her child to a rape involving a violent Russian mob family.This medium sized production portrays some very fine acting from Vincent Cassel and Viggo Mortensen. Highly underrated gangster film.
- DirectorTim BurtonStarsJohnny DeppMartin LandauSarah Jessica ParkerAmbitious but troubled movie director Edward D. Wood Jr. tries his best to fulfill his dreams despite his lack of talent.A highly underrated Film, with evident original Jack Sparrow Manorisms!
- DirectorJim SheridanStarsDaniel Day-LewisPete PostlethwaiteAlison CrosbieAn Irish man's coerced confession to an I.R.A. bombing he did not commit results in the imprisonment of his father as well. Meanwhile, a British lawyer fights to clear their names and free them.A very sad era in my nations history, but one with a glourious ending!
- DirectorKen LoachStarsCillian MurphyPádraic DelaneyLiam CunninghamAgainst the backdrop of the Irish War of Independence, two brothers fight a guerrilla war against British forces.Some seriously class acting from Cillian Murphy, a highly underrated and underused actor.
- DirectorBarry LevinsonStarsRobin WilliamsForest WhitakerTom T. TranIn 1965, an unorthodox and irreverent DJ named Adrian Cronauer begins to shake up things when he is assigned to the U.S. Armed Services radio station in Vietnam.A very funny, but a very sad Film at the same time. A well worked concept on a very unique era of history!
- DirectorMel GibsonStarsMel GibsonSophie MarceauPatrick McGoohanScottish warrior William Wallace leads his countrymen in a rebellion to free his homeland from the tyranny of King Edward I of England.A very emotional Film and one that is clearly not shown to the Scottish National Rugby team before the Calcutta Cup with England, every year.
- 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.Oh so Colin Farrell can act...? Acting he does very well indeed! Cool Film!
- DirectorMilos FormanStarsJack NicholsonLouise FletcherMichael BerrymanIn the Fall of 1963, a Korean War veteran and criminal pleads insanity and is admitted to a mental institution, where he rallies up the scared patients against the tyrannical nurse.McMurphy (Jack Nickelson) makes this film, in a role that was originally casted for James Caan would you believe!
- DirectorQuentin TarantinoStarsBrad PittDiane KrugerEli RothIn Nazi-occupied France during World War II, a plan to assassinate Nazi leaders by a group of Jewish U.S. soldiers coincides with a theatre owner's vengeful plans for the same.Tarantino's finest hour...well I think so! A groundbreaking Nazi War Film in a style that had simply not been done before!
- DirectorOliver HirschbiegelStarsBruno GanzAlexandra Maria LaraUlrich MatthesTraudl Junge, the final secretary for Adolf Hitler, tells of the Nazi dictator's final days in his Berlin bunker at the end of WWII.Probably the most realistic War Film of all time, its actually scary how realistic this Film really is...
- DirectorFlorian Henckel von DonnersmarckStarsUlrich MüheMartina GedeckSebastian KochIn 1984 East Berlin, an agent of the secret police conducting surveillance on a writer and his lover finds himself becoming increasingly absorbed by their lives.Cold, Blunt and to the point, and to be honest quite a sad Film. Another extremely realistic German Film. (Cold War)
- DirectorWolfgang BeckerStarsDaniel BrühlKatrin SassChulpan KhamatovaIn 1990, to protect his fragile mother from a fatal shock after a long coma, a young man must keep her from learning that her beloved nation of East Germany as she knew it has disappeared.Shot in a similar fashion to The Lives of Other, 2006. This Film will leave you feeling in a very similar way to the aforementioned.
- DirectorJoel CoenEthan CoenStarsJeff BridgesJohn GoodmanJulianne MooreJeff "The Dude" Lebowski, mistaken for a millionaire of the same name, seeks restitution for his ruined rug and enlists his bowling buddies to help get it.A very, very funny film, but one of aquired taste I find with most people.
- DirectorMartin ScorseseStarsLeonardo DiCaprioMatt DamonJack NicholsonAn undercover cop and a mole in the police attempt to identify each other while infiltrating an Irish gang in South Boston.A fresh look at the new-aged Irish-American gangsters.
- DirectorNick LoveStarsDanny DyerFrank HarperTamer HassanAn insight on the gritty life of a bored male, Chelsea football hooligan who lives for violence, sex, drugs & alcohol.Love or hate this film, but it certainly turned people's heads!
- DirectorMike NewellStarsAl PacinoJohnny DeppMichael MadsenAn FBI undercover agent infiltrates the mob and finds himself identifying more with the Mafia life--at the expense of his regular one.'Hey Forget About It!' This Film is not one of Al Pacino's of Jonny Depp's best known films, but it seriously does not disappoint. A highly underrated film and one of the best Mob film's of all time.
- DirectorJean-François RichetStarsVincent CasselCécile de FranceGérard DepardieuThe story of the notorious French gangster Jacques Mesrine, with the focus on his life before the early 1970s and the events that led to him being declared Public Enemy No. 1 in France.Interesting French gangster Film...(Part 1)
- DirectorJean-François RichetStarsVincent CasselLudivine SagnierMathieu AmalricThe story of the notorious French gangster Jacques Mesrine, with the focus on his life and death as France's Public Enemy No. 1 in the 1970s.Interesting French gangster Film...(Part 2)

- DirectorRoman PolanskiStarsAdrien BrodyThomas KretschmannFrank FinlayDuring WWII, acclaimed Polish musician Wladyslaw faces various struggles as he loses contact with his family. As the situation worsens, he hides in the ruins of Warsaw in order to survive.High quality Film and like Enemy at the Gates is to the Film Stalingrad, takes a completely different approach to a subject that has already been undertaken with great success in Schindler's List.
- DirectorSteven SpielbergStarsLiam NeesonRalph FiennesBen KingsleyIn German-occupied Poland during World War II, industrialist Oskar Schindler gradually becomes concerned for his Jewish workforce after witnessing their persecution by the Nazis.This film needs no words of mine and like the Film Downfall, it is scarily too close to reality.
- DirectorDavid FincherStarsBrad PittEdward NortonMeat LoafAn insomniac office worker and a devil-may-care soap maker form an underground fight club that evolves into much more.Most people think that Brad Pitt is just a bit of eye candy, but this guy can seriously act and he is one of the most diverse actors in Hollywood.
- DirectorLuc BessonStarsJean RenoGary OldmanNatalie Portman12-year-old Mathilda is reluctantly taken in by Léon, a professional assassin, after her family is murdered.

- DirectorRobert ZemeckisStarsTom HanksRobin WrightGary SiniseThe history of the United States from the 1950s to the '70s unfolds from the perspective of an Alabama man with an IQ of 75, who yearns to be reunited with his childhood sweetheart.Probably one of my most watched Films, but it still makes me laugh like hell! A very funny film, but a very sad film at the same time and Hanks certainly gets the senses going.
- DirectorTony KayeStarsEdward NortonEdward FurlongBeverly D'AngeloLiving a life marked by violence, neo-Nazi Derek finally goes to prison after killing two black youths. Upon his release, Derek vows to change; he hopes to prevent his brother, Danny, who idolizes Derek, from following in his footsteps.Just when you thought there was going to be a happy ending with some redemption for this troubled family...a great twist.
- DirectorBilly WilderStarsFred MacMurrayBarbara StanwyckEdward G. RobinsonA Los Angeles insurance representative lets an alluring housewife seduce him into a scheme of insurance fraud and murder that arouses the suspicion of his colleague, an insurance investigator.Pure old school Hollywood acting and superbly well shot. Good flick.
- DirectorCarol ReedStarsOrson WellesJoseph CottenAlida ValliPulp novelist Holly Martins travels to shadowy, postwar Vienna, only to find himself investigating the mysterious death of an old friend, Harry Lime.The narrative of this film is not, all too gripping, but it is beautifully shot and the shadows and lighting caught on film are amazing!
- DirectorMartin ScorseseStarsRobert De NiroCathy MoriartyJoe PesciThe life of boxer Jake LaMotta, whose violence and temper that led him to the top in the ring destroyed his life outside of it.
- DirectorStanley KubrickStarsMatthew ModineR. Lee ErmeyVincent D'OnofrioA pragmatic U.S. Marine observes the dehumanizing effects the Vietnam War has on his fellow recruits from their brutal boot camp training to the bloody street fighting in Hue.An odd Vietnam War Film, which is certainly visibly different from its predecessors. The film is shot in grey washed out colors unlike the yellow/green washed out colors that most other Vietnam War Films are shot in. Nonetheless this film still conveys the eeriness that most other Vietnam War Films do, which is an essiential convention. A Film that has to be explored.

- DirectorOliver StoneStarsAnthony HopkinsJoan AllenPowers BootheA biographical story of former U.S. President Richard Nixon, from his days as a young boy, to his eventual Presidency, which ended in shame.As you can tell I am a bit of a History Buff, but this Film portrays an interesting look into the world of a Presidency and one that was probably the most controversial to say the least!
- DirectorFrank DarabontStarsTim RobbinsMorgan FreemanBob GuntonOver the course of several years, two convicts form a friendship, seeking consolation and, eventually, redemption through basic compassion.Probably THE most overrated Film in history! Its a good Film, but its not in the same breathe as films like Apocalypse Now, The Godfather & Downfall to name a few...
