Dowd (J. Stewart) .I didn't count but I'm almost sure that James Stewart is the actor who has most movies in top 250. 7/10
- DirectorGiuseppe TornatoreStarsPhilippe NoiretEnzo CannavaleAntonella AttiliA filmmaker recalls his childhood when falling in love with the pictures at the cinema of his home village and forms a deep friendship with the cinema's projectionist.Great movie with very good story.

Murray AbrahamTom HulceElizabeth BerridgeThe life, success and troubles of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, as told by Antonio Salieri, the contemporaneous composer who was deeply jealous of Mozart's talent and claimed to have murdered him.Amazing movie.

Boredom. One of the most boring movies I've ever seen.Definitely not my type of movie. Great performance by Daniel Day-Lewis...but that's all 2/10
- DirectorAlfred HitchcockStarsTeresa WrightJoseph CottenMacdonald CareyA teenage girl, overjoyed when her favorite uncle comes to visit the family in their quiet California town, slowly begins to suspect that he is in fact the "Merry Widow" killer sought by the authorities.The idea is very good but the movie isn't that good. I like others Hitchcock's movies, but this one doesn't impress me that much. Also could be shorter( yeah I know that it's only 108 min. but there isn't that much action) and the ending could be better. The train scene is awful 5.5/10
- DirectorDavid LeanStarsWilliam HoldenAlec GuinnessJack HawkinsBritish POWs are forced to build a railway bridge across the river Kwai for their Japanese captors in occupied Burma, not knowing that the allied forces are planning a daring commando raid through the jungle to destroy it.Good movie. Well made but some parts are too long and this makes them little boring. The movies about prisoners of war in most cases aren't very interesting for me. Great last line "Madness. Madness..." 7/10
- DirectorJohn FordStarsJames StewartJohn WayneVera MilesA senator returns to a Western town for the funeral of an old friend and tells the story of his origins.Very good western. Good cast. Even Angel Eyes (Lee Van Cleef) has a small role, which one is exactly the same as in 'High Noon' (1952). Yeah, J. Stewart again. 7/10
- DirectorJohn FordStarsHenry FondaJane DarwellJohn CarradineAn Oklahoma family, driven off their farm by the poverty and hopelessness of the Dust Bowl, joins the westward migration to California, suffering the misfortunes of the homeless in the Great Depression.Not very interesting but not a bad movie. Good acting 6/10
- DirectorMichael CiminoStarsRobert De NiroChristopher WalkenJohn CazaleAn in-depth examination of the ways in which the Vietnam War impacts and disrupts the lives of several friends in a small steel mill town in Pennsylvania.Very good movie with great cast. I think that some scenes could be shorter 7.5/10
- DirectorChristopher NolanStarsChristian BaleMichael CaineKen WatanabeAfter witnessing his parents' death, Bruce learns the art of fighting to confront injustice. When he returns to Gotham as Batman, he must stop a secret society that intends to destroy the city.Seven years ago it didn't impress me much but now it does. Amazing beginning for one of the best trilogies ever. Great in many levels 9/10
"Why do we fall? So we can learn to pick ourselves up." - DirectorJohn FordStarsJohn WayneJeffrey HunterVera MilesAn American Civil War veteran embarks on a years-long journey to rescue his niece from the Comanches after the rest of his brother's family is massacred in a raid on their Texas farm.Terrible movie full with ridiculous scenes and awful acting(especially Jeffrey Hunter but Wayne too). Only the landscapes are good 1/10
- DirectorBrian De PalmaStarsKevin CostnerSean ConneryRobert De NiroDuring Prohibition, Treasury agent Eliot Ness sets out to stop ruthless Chicago gangster Al Capone, and assembles a small, incorruptible team to help him.Great movie. Massive cast.Also great job by Ennio Morricone as usual. The scene at the station is amazing 8.5/10
- DirectorJoseph L. MankiewiczStarsBette DavisAnne BaxterGeorge SandersA seemingly timid but secretly ruthless ingénue insinuates herself into the lives of an aging Broadway star and her circle of theater friends.Better than i expected. Good acting. Well made 7/10. "still waters run deep"
