joel schumacher — number 23 | DeRank™: 0,00

A quite convincing thriller, by the way I believe it's one of Schumacher's best works, who is otherwise truly mediocre. Carrey is very, very good, as always in dramatic roles, the film has several weak points, but overall I enjoyed it (despite having caught on to the twist long before it was revealed). 6.5 more
Michel Gondry -Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind
hjhhjij
The masterpiece of the visionary Michel Gondry, and one of the most beautiful films from 2000 to today. A stunning love story told through a dreamlike journey in dreams, in memories. Jim Carrey is superb, perhaps his best performance, Kate Winslet equally exceptional. Wonderful. more

Ridley Scott — Alien | DeRank™: 0,00

Unsettling, dark, claustrophobic, trapped on a spaceship facing an unknown and highly lethal and cunning enemy (Alien, the most complex and fascinating monster in the entire history of science fiction cinema), which creates a crisis because it knows where they are, but they don’t know where it is or what it is, along with the internal enemy (the android Ash and the very computer that controls the ship). Tension skyrockets, eyes wide open, a heart-pounding finale. Exceptional. more
Robert Benton -Kramer Contro Kramer
hjhhjij
Linear, simple film, with an overly moralistic and feel-good ending, but I appreciated it very much, probably because the situations it describes are more than plausible, and because Dustin Hoffman and Meryl Streep are always two wonderful guarantees of quality (Hoffman already well-established, Meryl at the beginning of her career, fresh off a role in that blockbuster "The Deer Hunter").
Very beautiful. more
Sergio Leone -Per Un Pugno Di Dollari (1964)
hjhhjij
A true classic, really great, but still a bit immature and slightly inferior to both the two subsequent films in the Dollar Trilogy and to C'Era una Volta il West (and obviously to Once Upon a Time in America, Leone's masterpiece). However, it doesn't lack memorable scenes, the direction is excellent, and the music is unforgettable. Very beautiful. more

Van der Graaf Generator -A Grounding In Numbers

Incredible, an album of this caliber, all over 60. Immortal, truly amazing, hats off to the creator. more
Rob Reiner -Stand By Me - Ricordo di un'estate
hjhhjij
Reiner, drawing inspiration from one of the finest short stories by Stephen King, conjures up the film of a lifetime, a little masterpiece, an emotional portrait of the most beautiful season of life. A film about the loss of innocence, the end of childhood told through the journey of four twelve-year-olds who are on the path to growing up. Wonderful. "I have never had friends like the ones I had at 12, but, God, who has?" more
Tim Burton -La Fabbrica Di Cioccolato
hjhhjij
Useless remake, one of Burton's worst, better only than Alice and the Planet of the Apes. Depp is overly exaggerated, pointless film. More is expected from Burton. more

Tim Burton — Mars Attacks! | DeRank™: 0,00

Funny, well-made, engaging, but it has never truly captivated me; in short, I think Burton has done better. Nevertheless, it's a very nice film, no doubt. more

Tim Burton — Alice in Wonderland | DeRank™: 0,00

3D or not 3D, it remains Burton's worst film. A terribly bad misstep, I hope he redeems himself with the next "Dark Shadows." Horrible movie. more
Martin Scorsese -L'Ultima Tentazione Di Cristo
hjhhjij
Criticized, opposed, gossip-ed about, this film represents one of Scorsese's highest peaks in the 1980s, a very personal and brilliant vision of the life and story of Jesus, a deeply profound analysis, a film that offers plenty of food for thought. If we also consider that Defoe and Keitel perform wonderfully, and that Scorsese directs with his usual skill, that the film has very few slow moments, and that the music is by the most inspired Gabriel, well... it's simply stunning. more
Martin Scorsese -America 1929 Sterminateli Senza Pietà
hjhhjij
Second feature film by Scorsese. A film still veryraw, but the enormous talent of Scorsese can already be sensed. The ending is traumatizing, and overall the film is excellent. A Scorsese who is warming up and preparing for his first great masterpiece (Mean Streets). The film is really well acted, the story is magnificent, truly a gem. Very beautiful. more

Ridley Scott — Thelma & Louise | DeRank™: 0,00

Excluding the trilogy of masterpieces "The Duellists," "Alien," and "Blade Runner," this beautiful road movie remains Ridley Scott's best film, superbly acted (Sarandon, Davis, Keitel make a great trio), engaging, and with an ending that is excessive and quite exaggerated, but undoubtedly very beautiful. In short, a stunning film.
Keitel's desperate (and pointless) race towards T&L's car launched into the void is magnificent; it has definitely stuck with me. more

John McTiernan — Predator | DeRank™: 0,00

Action blends with science fiction and results in a half masterpiece. The best Schwarzenegger of all time faces off against one of the most successful "villains" in sci-fi cinema (second only to Alien), and takes a serious beating. The film starts as a common war movie and then degenerates into pure sci-fi. The tension is skyrocketing, the peek-a-boo, the unknown and invisible enemy, the brilliant jungle setting, in short, a fantastic movie. 8 more
Richard Linklater -A Scanner Darkly (Un Oscuro Scrutare)
hjhhjij
The most complete film by Linklater, an excellent and faithful adaptation of Dick's novel, and the best science fiction film of the 2000s. Intriguing, engaging. The technique used to portray the characters is beautiful. Reeves impressed me quite a bit (the only time), Downey Jr. is fantastic, Ryder is great (her first and only significant role in an important film for her since 2001), and the dedication written at the time of the novel by Dick to his friends who were victims of drugs is poignant. more
Nicolas Gessner -Quella Strana Ragazza che Abita in Fondo al Viale
hjhhjij
A particularly unique thriller, masterfully interpreted by 14-year-old Jodie Foster, fresh from her participation in the blockbuster "Taxi Driver," and an exceptional Martin Sheen, the future star of "Apocalypse Now," who brings to life a sly and sadistic character. A linear and simple story, yet it keeps you glued to the screen thanks to the skill of the two protagonists and the beauty of the music (Bach). An excellent film. more
