Film 93 "Forrest Gump" IMDB No. 33

I'm sorry I ruined your New Year's Eve party, Lieutenant Dan. She tasted like cigarettes.

1994 Robert Zemekis
Literally the life story of a man who is 'different' and just happened to be at some of America's moments of history, told to people sitting next to him at a bus stop. I reckon I would have lasted about 1 minute before I made my excuses, chocolate or not.
It's a nice enough story, a bit too nice, with some sad moments and some funny bits. A good all round American family movie, oh and there is a love interest.
Don't make me watch it ever again.
5/10

Film 92 "City Lights" IMDB No. 60

Can you see now?

1931 Charles Chaplin
A tramp falls in love with a beautiful blind girl. Her family is poor. The tramp has a wierd  on-and-off friendship with a wealthy man and uses his money to help her.
To me, it's like any other Chaplin movie I have seen, it rolls along to a formula with the same gags and same music and pretty much the same characters as the rest of them.
Not a fan.
2/10

Film 91 "Silence Of The Lambs" IMDB No. 27

I've no plans to call on you, Clarice. The world is more interesting with you in it.

1991 Jonathan Demme
Jody Foster plays Clarice Starling, a new FBI agent assigned to help find the serial killer who skins young women. To do this she asks for the help of a convicted serial killer Hannibal 'The Cannibal' Lecter, played brilliantly by Anthony Hopkins.
A modern classic chiller bringing mutilation to the masses with a tense finale.
8/10

Film 90 "The Matrix" IMDB No. 25

I know kung fu.

1999 Andy Wachowski, Lana Wachowski
Computer programmer by day, hacker by night, Thomas A Anderson has a decision to make when the authorities catch up with him, but they are not the only ones who have been followng his activities.
It turns out that the 'real world' isn't real and is a computer program called the Matrix. Well at least I think that is what this is about.
Neo as he is known is 'the one' who will change/save everything/everyone.
I had avoided this film for years, someone even lent me the VHS about 8 years ago and it's still on the shelf unwatched, I did eventually circum last year and watched it with the kids, they loved it. I have now seen it twice and maybe it grows on you, it seems quite dated now, some of the CGI tricks have been copied and improved so many times.
For some this is a classic, for me, it's ok. I just can't take Keano seriously because Bill and Ted keep coming to mind. Awesome!
7.5/10

Film 89 "Requiem For a Dream" IMDB No. 63

Harold, I'm gonna be on Television.

2000 Darren Aronofsky
Following the lives of four drug addicts, some prescription meds others herion and cocaine, and the spiral downwards and sideways and upside down all the time thinking it's under control.
It's a pretty good study of adiction and is sometimes painful to watch, but I didn't like it. I don't need to see this again.
6/10

Film 88 "The Usual Suspects" IMDB No. 24

There's no way they'd line five felons in the same room, no way.

1995 Bryan Singer
A story of five random felons brought together for a line-up for a crime none of them comitted. While in custody they hatch a plan to get get revenge on the police. Their activities come to the attention of Keyser Soze, a notorious criminal mastermind, who legend would have it, is the devil incarnate. They are recruited by his right hand man Kobyashi (Pete Postlethwaite). All is not as it seems.
A brilliant film that keeps you gripped and guessing right to the end. Deffinately needs two viewings to take it all in.
8.5/10

Film 87 "North By Northwest" IMDB No. 38

That wasn't very sporting, using real bullets.

1959 Alfred Hitchcock
Classic Hitchcock suspense thriller staring the the super cool Cary Grant.
New York advertising executive Roger Thornhill is mistaken for a government agent by a gang of spies and is chased across America by both groups. Crammed with classic scenes and quotes. "Now you listen to me, I'm an advertising man, not a red herring. I've got a job, a secretary, a mother, two ex-wives and several bartenders that depend upon me, and I don't intend to disappoint them all by getting myself "slightly" killed"
The James Bond films of the 60s must have used this film as their template.
7/10
