My Ranking of Movies
All the movies I have watched ordered from the one I consider the Best to the one I consider the worst and a mini-review of my thoughts of it (I haven't finished yet), I am not a professional, but at least i will try to be honest and don't being influenced by others, but remember it's all my opinion is guaranteed that, you, the reader, will disagree in something.
I try to be very serious with this list, however, I think I have fallen into taking numerical ratings and opinions of others messed up with my own criteria, so I'm in a process of reforming this list

Sadly a lot of people just see this as a movie about love, but also, and perhaps unintentionally, is about the failure of the "experts" and "professionals" because an idealized person can fail or worse, intentionally lie and/or cause damage, look what was "operation paperclip" and see for yourself.

I am a sinner, I prefer this one over Yojimbo, but I can explain why.
The plot of the kidnapped woman who is desired by one of the top criminals is introduced early in this movie and is more clear that the villian desires him a lot, in Yojimbo this is more rushed and less bealivable, specially for the fact that our anti-hero protagonist empathizes with his husband and her, this is more natural when he saw their struggle since the begining as in this one, also, as far as I know, is better to show something than to tell it in dialogue, and Yojimbo suddenly thows you the entire plot with word instead of, as I told, showing it since the begining. - DirectorPete DocterRonnie Del CarmenStarsAmy PoehlerBill HaderLewis BlackAfter young Riley is uprooted from her Midwest life and moved to San Francisco, her emotions - Joy, Fear, Anger, Disgust and Sadness - conflict on how best to navigate a new city, house, and school.8.6

It must be hard to find a movie where the rich guy is as portrayed as good as Gondo.
The first half has tension almost in every moment, something I really like, because it's the oposite of predictability, then we have the "police novel" exposition and tracking of an unknown individual. - DirectorStanley KubrickAnthony MannStarsKirk DouglasLaurence OlivierJean SimmonsThe slave Spartacus survives brutal training as a gladiator and leads a violent revolt against the decadent Roman Republic, as the ambitious Crassus seeks to gain power by crushing the uprising.8.5

Seen: 12/jun/2022
Great themes, great visuals and great acting, only having the defect of being too fantatious.
For me, it's not a big deal is if the protagonist is very idealized, of course it makes the movie less human, but when it's a larger-than-life character is perfectly reasonable, even if it sacrifices historical accuracy, I also think that the struggle of slavery and that lost fight against the etiophian prevents Spartacus from being a Mary Sue, he is not perfect and his force doesn't come from thin air, he gains it through the hard training he recived to be a gladiator. - DirectorWilliam A. WellmanStarsHenry FondaDana AndrewsMary Beth HughesWhen a posse captures three men suspected of killing a local farmer, they become strongly divided over whether or not to lynch the men.8.5

"+It's like the Yankees and the Red Sox.
-More like the Israelis and the Palestinians."
Seen: 16/nov/2022
Way, way better than I expected
I didn't thought it was going to be THIS good, first of all, all the plot about Harvard is very well done, showed to us visually with the tesis and the cuts that prevent over exposition, that demonstrates an effort to make the technical aspects as good as they could be, which, despite some shaky cam in the begining is done well, specially with the inserted songs, put exactly when required.
The introduction to the hooligan world is great, after being attacked by the Birmingham's "firm" we see our protagonist falling from being a golden boy from from the university that didn't even bothered to fight to preserve his career despite a great injustice suffered, to being a guy that physically fights against other "firms" just to preserve the reputation of the "GSE", to the ponit he even steals a truck just to fight the Manchester United firm, basically he became more tough just for defending something that really isn't important, and the final lesson of the movie is learning when we had to be tough and stand our ground and when we have to leave a fight because it will have no winners, it's not the best way to gain confidence and courage, but Matt learned it anyway, and so did we, all this with an extra lesson about revenge and the destruction spiral it creates.
Also I have to comment that the acting is surprisingly good, specially from Forlani, if you already watched this you know the scene I'm thinking about, it feels so real and is really unexpected from an independent movie.
But the moment I realized this movie deserved an 8 is when we learn about the old leader of the firm, THAT was really mind-blowing.

When the saga turned dark.
The plot hole: Why Sirius cage is unguarded near the end? Wasn't he a dangerous criminal? I pressume is the fault of the movie for not showing a detail or something explaining it, maybe that tower was unreachable by normal means (like mount doom in LOTR), but they sould have to tell us that in some way. - DirectorAndrei TarkovskyStarsNatalya BondarchukDonatas BanionisJüri JärvetA psychologist is sent to a station orbiting a distant planet in order to discover what has caused the crew to go insane.7.8

Great and beautiful movie, althrough a bit confusing.
I believe the movies explores the grief and inner demons of the protagonist, that's very ambitious, and I think is done well.
The first part, when we really don't know anything about the space station is full of tension, almost like a thriller, that summed with the beautiful cinematography makes it my favorite scenes of the entire Tarkovsky's filmography.
The great performance of Natalya Bondarchuck also helps putting this movie higher, demonstraiting, that Tarkovsky can get great performances when we wishes.
The only downside I see, is that it's hard to understand, but even with that, is perfectly reasonable to make a good idea about the themes of the movie, something good, specially for Tarkovsky, and the cryptic movies he made after this one.
So yeah, I recomend you watching it, is in youtube actually, Mosfilm uploaded it togheter with the rest of the movies he made inside the Soviet Union. - DirectorJohn FordStarsJohn WayneClaire TrevorAndy DevineA group of people traveling on a stagecoach find their journey complicated by the threat of Geronimo and learn something about each other in the process.8.0

Great movie with interesting well-defined very different characters and impeccable technical aspects. - DirectorSteven SpielbergStarsHarrison FordSean ConneryAlison DoodyIn 1938, after his father goes missing while pursuing the Holy Grail, Indiana Jones finds himself up against the Nazis again to stop them from obtaining its powers.8.2
For me, it's the best one of the saga because it doesn't have a massive plot hole and explores the relation of Indiana with his father.

Themes: Revenge, Life's purpose
Sub or Dub: Dub
Strenghts: Great action scenes, great music, great animation
Weaknesses: A bit conveniant that the kid who was going to kill Tanjiro got touched by his pure heart and decided not to proceed, I assume that the leader girl was going to always target the pillar anyways, so Tanjiro had 1 in 3 chances of surviving, not very little, but is a bit annoying that basically he got lucky

Favourite quote: "Your fathers are much braver because they carry responsibility, for you, your brothers, your sisters, and your mothers. And this responsibility is like a big rock that weighs a ton.

I have never had this kind of courage."

Interesting if you're patient enough. - DirectorSian HederStarsEmilia JonesMarlee MatlinTroy KotsurAs a CODA (Child of Deaf Adults) Ruby is the only hearing person in her deaf family. When the family's fishing business is threatened, Ruby finds herself torn between pursuing her passion at Berklee College of Music and her fear of abandoning her parents.7.8
Better than I tought, Substance and tension? Not only from deafness but the disintermediated fishing bussiness in danger and the singing lessons happening at the same time give more deepness and tension because Ruby has to decide which one support, and thanks to God this is NOT a Ratatouille clone because the family are not the ones limiting Ruby, is herself.

Disintermediation, Bullying
Sub or Dub: Dub
Strenghts: Good themes, Entertaining, Outstanding acting from Kotsur and Durant,
