Really this page should be called “about me” since its just one guy (me) watching and rating these movies. I don’t claim to be a professional reviewer or think my opinion is any more valid than the next guy. The way this all started was that I kept a spreadsheet of movies that I watched, and a score based of what I thought about the movies. This list helped me remember which movies I liked in case I wanted to watch them again. It also helped me avoid re-watching movies I disliked.
Over the years, friends would ask me for my top recommended movies so instead of keeping it private I decided to buy a domain name and make it public.
These ratings and reviews are based on what I thought of each film and I am totally aware that I, like everyone on Earth, have biases. Perhaps one day if this thing ever receives an injection of capital we can open it up for visitors to leave their own reviews/ratings.
Ratings
All movies listed have been watched or re-watched since 2017. I don’t include ratings from a movie I liked 20 or 30 years ago. Movies that I thought were great as a kid don’t always hold up well over time. I can/will also adjust scores over time if I end up re-watching a movie. If that movie has a written review, I will add a note at the bottom about the revision.
Qualifications
I have always been an avid fan of movies and moviemaking. I also worked at a video store for a year back in 1996. I never went to school for filmmaking and am not an “official” critic in any capacity. I’m just a dude who likes to disappear into a movie for a couple hours a few times per week.
Thanks! And please enjoy the site. I Hope I can help you avoid some real stinkers and also find some diamonds in the rough!
