Bio: I'm going to fudge my rankings and uprank movies that are my actual favorites. My favorite movies are rarely the best in craft. And while one of my favorites may be the expertly crafted The Godfather, I'm not going to be using this unique opportunity to recommend you something you already know you should see. If you were waiting for me personally to convince you to watch Seven Samurai, you have put too much pressure on a guy that likes Michael Dudikoff films. I had previously given Ravenous an 86 when in reality it's a 75 tops. Now it's a 100. Welcome to my recommendations.

| 56 32% | They Call Me Mister Tibbs! (1970) - Rated 20 Dec 2024
"Misstep in a lot of ways including the Quincy Jones score which is completely out of place with the film. Distracting in the bad way. Ribcage pinned down my favorite what are we doing moment in the father/son chat. Eventually we'd take this directive of interesting characters getting bogged down by family drama all the way to James Bond and clap for our accomplishment."

| 62 43% | They Call Me Bruce? (1982) - Rated 20 Dec 2024
"I thought it addressed stereotyping with humor and nuance and I've seen Soul Man so I think I know what I'm talking about (I'm whiter than a Saltine bag and damn sure don't know what I'm talking about)."

| 65 49% | Call Me (1988) - Rated 19 Dec 2024
"Call me skeptical but the premise of this movie is that a woman receives an obscene phone call and agrees to meet up with the pervert. While at a bar trying to figure out who her mystery pervert is she suddenly realizes she's alone in a bar where there 100% is going to be a pervert looking for her but before she can leave SHE WITNESSES AN UNRELATED MURDER. It ends up leading to a precursor for Black Swan's most jarring scene and that alone warrants a recommendation. I liked this. It's mine now."

| 67 54% | Insignificance (1985) - Rated 19 Dec 2024
"What if Forrest Gump but in a hotel room?"
|
| 60 40% | Chasers (1994) - Rated 18 Dec 2024
"Erika Elaniak had a rougher time with the Navy than Fat Leonard. Dennis Hopper could've had his character be anything he wanted but he chose weirdo with a sex doll and there's something to be learned from that."

| 70 65% | Barbarosa (1982) - Rated 18 Dec 2024
"A really good western that has stuck with me for the last few months. I wouldn't go so far as to say that it was always on my mind but"

| 25 3% | All Eyes (2022) - Rated 17 Dec 2024
"They went above and beyond on the human interest which would be great if this wasn't a monster movie. Some people go to Godzilla to see if Breaking Bad can find his kids or something so I'm probably on the outside of this one."
|
| 42 12% | Lying Eyes (1996) - Rated 17 Dec 2024
"This has long been on my watchlist because I'll roll the dice on anything with Patsy Kensit...and I'm an idiot."
|
| 58 35% | Close My Eyes (1991) - Rated 16 Dec 2024
"The good news is you've been cast in a role where you have separate love scenes with Alan Rickman AND Clive Owen. The, uhh, bad news..."
|
| 55 30% | If Looks Could Kill (1991) - Rated 16 Dec 2024
"The premise feels like a can't miss opportunity to present a James Bond formula for a younger audience. Unfortunately, looks can kill and casting 26 year old Richard Grieco as the lead undoes any of the goodwill the intentions might deserve. Nothing against him personally, I like The Demolitionist as much as the next guy."
