Shadows (1959)

♥♥♥

Shadows has an intriguing atmosphere and a wonderful soundtrack, but ultimately I honestly found it too boring.

Excalibur (1981)

♥♥

I have no idea why I saw this....movie recommended alongside the awesome "Conan the Barbarian". It's horrible.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (2005)

♥♥♥♥

Its intelligent remarks and its successfully maintained feel-good feel all the way through, results in an overall pretty good movie.

The Wild Bunch (1969)

♥♥♥

The environments were really fascinating and believeable and the cast were an interesting bunch to travel with, but overall I find "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" and "Once Upon a Time in the West" much better.
I have a hunch that a re-watch might increase the score by 1 though.

Bugsy Malone (1976)

♥♥♥♥

Bugsy Malone is a three star movie much of the time, but the originality, some great characters, snappe one-liners and the soundtrack makes me end it at four. Notably, Fat Sam is ridiculously cool hands down and "So You Wanna Be a Boxer" is one heck of a song.

Alien (1979)

♥♥♥♥

Intense, visually fascinating & stunning movie with a great feeling of isolation. Reminds me of 2001: A Space Odyssey

Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story (1993)

♥♥♥

If you have the DVD version, I strongly suggest skipping the horrible intro, which might otherwise kill the desire to watch this pretty decent biography film.

Ghostbusters II (1989)

♥♥

A few funny moments and nostalgia for the first movie, but that's really all there is to it.

Ghostbusters (1984)

♥♥♥♥

A classic feel-good movie!

Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut (2006)

♥♥♥♥

In my opinion superior to Superman (1978) The villains are somewhat ridiculous, but I think Superman is a more interesting character here, though, as in the first movie, Christopher Reeve particularly excels when playing Clark Kent.

Batman (1989)

♥♥♥

"Tim Burton & Danny Elfman" is generally sufficient reasoning for experiencing a movie, and this case is no exception.
As the new Christopher Nolan Batman movies are pleasing the massive crowds these days, I decided to rewatch the old 90's Batman series, which all started right here. As said, Batman (1989) has a brilliant atmosphere courtesy of the sparkling audio-visuals, but somehow the story and characters just don't interest me sufficiently. Michael Keaton is not an interesting Bruce Wayne and The Joker does not really work insanity on me, which is a definite letdown, being the two primary characters. Albert is excellent however, and in my opinion better than Michael Caine's version, although I might be biased here. Ultimately I suggest watching Batman Returns instead, if you really want to see the Batman universe shine.

Lifeforce (1985)

♥♥♥

All movies or TV series' by Tobe Hooper

Conan the Barbarian (1982)

♥♥♥♥

Awesome movie, maintaining tension and never getting boring. Sandahl Bergman and her character were great, and so was Arnold, whose role seems to be one of the best for him I've seen. The soundtrack is noteworthy as well. Probably my new favourite Schwarzenegger movie aside from Total Recall and Terminator (1).

Sadly, there were several scenes with seemingly non-fake not-so-nice-treatment of non-human animals though, and that definitely deterred me. Though admittedly it helped create the barbaric/primitive atmosphere and simple thought patterns, it naturally doesn't justify any mistreatment in any form, as nothing naturally does.

Superman (1978)

♥♥♥

Not as good as I remembered, though still a good, albeit fairly forgettable, movie presenting a swell played Lex Luthor, but a sub par John Williams score, compared to Star Wars or Indiana Jones. Theme is great though, but besides that.
I guess maybe Superman is either too one-dimensional or just played that way. (which I wouldn't generally say is the case in the hero/villain debate, or at least that would simply be a general casting (or creativity) error.)

Help! (1965)

Upon a rewatch where I paid very partial attention to it I'm surprised I rated it this high?!

Bullitt (1968)

♥♥♥

I missed some information during the watching and consequently was a bit confused as all the action unfolded, so I would like to see it again sometime with subtitles, or something.
But the score was great, the general atmosphere snazzy and Jacqueline was in no way detrimental to the movie either. (wrauv) Oh yes, and the car chase scene is truly memorable. 
Seemed like the perfect midnight movie.
