I saw this shortly after it came out and have yet to rewatch it since then, but I remember loving it as there was hardly anything I’d seen him in that I didn’t like. I still need to work my way through his total works – I recently saw Good Morning Vietnam for the firstContinue reading “20. Favorite documentary – Robin Williams: Come Inside My Mind”

19. Film made by a favorite director – The Prestige
Christopher Nolan’s works will make it on this list a few times, having already done so once with The Dark Knight and doing so again in just a couple posts from now. Nolan’s love of film and the moviegoing experience is evident especially as of late, with some of his latest films like Dunkirk, Interstellar,Continue reading “19.

18. Film with a favorite actor – Sherlock Holmes
I rather like Robert Downey Jr. and have liked him since his performance in Iron Man, as I mentioned in an earlier post. While not every film of his is a blockbuster (one can look at the recent Dolittle as an example – having come out in January, the current pandemic can’t be blamed tooContinue reading “18.

17. Favorite film sequel – The Dark Knight
Another film that doesn’t really need much introduction. And it could also have fit in a few other spots on this list, but I do feel like it works even better because of the film it follows. Heath Ledger’s performance as the Joker was astounding. He was one of those actors that a lot ofContinue reading “17. Favorite film sequel – The Dark Knight”
16. Film that is personal to me – Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2
I don’t think Harry Potter needs much of an introduction or explanation. So to get to the point, here’s why this is personal to me: right when I got back from my mission in August 2011, the first film I saw after getting somewhat settled in was Deathly Hallows Part 1, which was already availableContinue reading “16.

15. Film that makes me feel happy – Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World
Well, after talking about the previous film, I’m glad I’ve got this one to lift my spirits back up a bit! Scott Pilgrim, the movie (as it was originally published as a graphic novel), turned ten years old in August. And with the way that it was filmed and directed, I feel like it’s goingContinue reading “15. Film that makes me feel happy – Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World”
14. Film that puts me in deep thoughts – Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
First off, while this is a movie starring Jim Carrey, it’s far from a comedy, like the movie case might lead one to believe based on some of the critic reviews it includes. I’d classify it as a drama above all else. The premise for the film came about, according to IMDb trivia, when theContinue reading “14.

13. Film I dislike from my favorite genre – X-Men: Apocalypse
If we’re counting superhero movies as a genre, then I’m definitely going to go with this one. It had some big shoes to fill, coming after Days of Future Past (a movie that had a unique take on time travel and executed it phenomenally), and in many places this just failed to live up toContinue reading “13. Film I dislike from my favorite genre – X-Men: Apocalypse”
12. Film I like from my least favorite genre – Stranger Than Fiction
As I briefly mentioned in a previous post, romance is probably my least favorite genre out of all of the ones that currently exist. That’s not to say that there aren’t great romance movies that exist; the inverse is true as well, with some of my favorite genres having some total flops. But within romanticContinue reading “12.

11. Favorite superhero film – Iron Man
I think it’s fair to say that superhero movies can be their own genre now. We’ve had a slew of them in the last couple decades, heavily ushered in by X-Men and Spider-Man around the turn of the century. And easily the biggest continuous series out of all of them these days has to beContinue reading “11. Favorite superhero film – Iron Man”
