Gladiator (2000)

25-WR

[4/10 · 8 October 2019]

Twist-less crowd winner that Hellraises Oliver's lion-faced redemption out of bloodied vistas like a fat Phoenix that Reeds of condescending soundtracks and cutting.

The Ninth Gate (1999)

25-WR

[9/10 · 11 August 2019]

Riveting mystery set in motion in modern age-old Europe where everything's still creepy and beautiful. A satanic film noir with an escalating groove.

The Samurai (1967)

25-WR

[8/10 · 10 August 2019]

French Film Noir shown in lonely tones and isolated colors smearing the flip-side of persecution and its complex perplexities. A memorable existential staring contest.

T2 Trainspotting (2017)

25-WR

[7/10 · 5 August 2019]

A circle jerk full of ballsy bells and whistles that addresses, entertains and extends everyone's self-destructive sense of nostalgia beyond whole mountains of warning.

No Country for Old Men (2007)

25-WR

[10/10 · 14 July 2019]

Bubonic-plague personified decides to single out the fastest Death-escaping cowboy and wastes no time in hunting him down a road of rural intrigue.

Grace Is Gone (2007)

25-WR

[10/10 · 13 July 2019]

Cusack hasn´t been this good since his own Grace disappeared, but Dano has been trully great for the first time in a permanently resonant film.

JFK (1991)

25-WR

[10/10 · 10 July 2019]

Maybe Oswald was a great shot after all and single-handedly managed to dent the world with a fulminant sacrifice...a patsy-making film of paranoid passion.

Good Bye Lenin! (2003)

25-WR

[8/10 · 24 June 2019]

An instant classic for the newly interested or a permanently pleasant surprise for the directly involved. Watch with eyes and ears full of empathy only.

Sunset Boulevard (1950)

25-WR

[10/10 · 24 May 2019]

Stays enticing and incredibly abducting all the way thorough: from the first killer-shot till the last...from the first viewing to obsessing about it.

Run Lola Run (1998)

25-WR

[8/10 · 22 May 2019]

In-motional motion picture with a fluent techno-rhythm and welcomed gimmicks that keep our eyes lubricated, tuned and toned throughout an intense perception-workout.

Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters (1985)

25-WR

[8/10 · 19 May 2019]

The tsunami-ing intensity of Japanese culture in a "fissional" example that polishes every single shard coming out of its smashed mirror of a portrait.

Salvation Boulevard (2011)

25-WR

[10/10 · 16 May 2019]

Very serious comical take on a single star system in the disbelief-suspended galaxy of organized religion and their Bonde-esque villains coloring it all.

The Matador (2005)

25-WR

[8/10 · 16 May 2019]

Finding the truest truant-compatible camaraderie in some of the darkest, yet most sought-after corners of this open-Bar planet of ours - can sometimes be a very beautiful thing.

Donnie Darko (2001)

25-WR

[8/10 · 14 April 2019]

Suburban black magic orbiting around the inter-dimensional cellar-portal of a teenage mind that is full of defying questions to colliding answers.

Wonder Boys (2000)

25-WR

[8/10 · 5 April 2019]

There are only two benefits of being a has-been: one is the experience, and the other is the inspiration gotten from Falling Down (1993)

This Is Spinal Tap (1984)

25-WR

[10/10 · 2 April 2019]

The Jane Fonda of rockumentaries that also happens to be a comedy that mock-documents a fictional rock band that has become realer than life.

Midnight Express (1978)

25-WR

[10/10 · 31 March 2019]

A very stern motion picture warning against obtuseness and corruption not to be taken lightly then and a good idea to tattoo in mind today.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975)

25-WR

[10/10 · 31 March 2019]

Don't deny a man his basic right to have a goddamn beer and watch the game in the completely lucid lunacy of life well lived.

Pink Floyd: Welcome to the Machine (1977 Music Video)

25-WR

[10/10 · 30 March 2019]

Now we know where all that elevator blood in The Shining (1980) was coming from. A barrage of depressing thoughts inspiringly hand-drawn into emergency hysteria.

Sonic Youth: Sunday (1998 Music Video)

25-WR

[10/10 · 30 March 2019]

Just like with football stadiums and length, Culkin himself has become an unofficial time-measurement unit for those who´ve witnessed him grow up on screen.

Björk: Army of Me (1995 Music Video)

25-WR

[10/10 · 30 March 2019]

Milks the practical effect-cow to its last drop; turns it into oil and the carbon into diamond. All rationally shown in old-fashioned aspects.

The Prodigy: Smack My Bitch Up (1997 Music Video)

25-WR

[10/10 · 30 March 2019]

Groundbreaking first person- shot music video by the Guns 'n Roses of techno that taunted the hell out of the Western pre-internet mainstream media.

Nine Inch Nails: Closer (1994 Music Video)

25-WR

[10/10 · 30 March 2019]

The crowning achievement of the golden age of MTV music videos by unsung cinematic master Mark Romanek. Single greatest favor Joel Peter-Witken ever got.

Nine Inch Nails: The Perfect Drug (1997 Music Video)

25-WR

[10/10 · 30 March 2019]

Cold plate of vampiric hors d'oeuvres served with visual mastery. Extracts fine things out of Kitsch instead of just swiping them under the bear carpet.

Rammstein: Deutschland (2019 Music Video)

25-WR

[8/10 · 29 March 2019]

Rammstein is back to its basic decency with redeeming visual cheap-shots shocking the most common denominator with enough charm to get away with it.
