Back To The Future [1985]
“Wait a minute, Doc, are you trying to tell me that my mother has got the hots for me?” If you can find a movie as original and fun to watch as “Back to the Future”, im all ears. With Robert Zemeckis behind the cameras, you know you’re in for an unforgettable ride. In 1985, a school…

North By Northwest [1959] ★★★★
“I didn’t realize you were an art collector.I thought you just collected corpses”. Many consider “North By Northwest” as the best Hitchcock movie ever made. It might not be my favorite (mine would be “Rear Window”), but it’s certainly one of his finest. Hitchcock had worked on a similar plot so many times before (the…

The Day The Earth Stood Still [1951]
“I won’t resort to threats, Mr. Harley. I merely tell you the future of your planet is at stake”. Science fiction lovers rank this among the best of all time. It’s certainly one of the most intriguing and still impresses people today as it did 60 years ago. An alien named klaatu lands on planet…

Planet of the Apes [1968]
“Beware the beast Man, for he is the Devil’s pawn. Alone among God’s primates, he kills for sport or lust or greed. Yea, he will murder his brother to possess his brother’s land. Let him not breed in great numbers, for he will make a desert of his home and yours. Shun him; drive him…

Safety Last [1923]
Hailed as the 3rd genius of the silent era (along with Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton), Harold Lloyd may not be as popular, but he’s certainly the funniest in my opinion. The gags in “Safety Last” are sensational but my favorite will always remain the famous building climb at the end. There’s some real movie magic at…

Nosferatu: A Symphony of Terror [1922]
“Is this your wife? What a lovely throat”. It’s hard not to appreciate this classic horror movie. It might look a bit dated now (it was filmed some 90 years ago), but it’s still a wonderful movie. Max Shreck’s performance as Count Orlok gave me goosebumps. Maybe it was the look in his eyes; I’ll never…

The Unbearable Lightness of Being [1988]
“I’ve met another man. He’s the best man I’ve ever met. He’s bright, handsome and he’s crazy about me. And, he’s married”.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly [1966] ★★★★
“You see, in this world there’s two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig”. Sergio Leone’s spaghetti trilogy comes to an end with style. Clint Eastwood leads the hunt for a buried treasure in this superior western movie about greed and…well gun battles. But it all comes…

Frenzy [1972]
“Do I look like a sex murderer to you? Can you imagine me creeping around London, strangling all those women with ties? That’s ridiculous… For a start, I only own two”. Hitchcock at his best, telling the story of London strangler (who only murders young women), and an innocent man framed for murder. All the…

Dark Passage [1947]
“You know, it’s wonderful when guys like you lose out. Makes guys like me think maybe we got a chance in this world”. Very stylish Bogie/Bacall film noir about an escaped prisoner who undergoes plastic surgery and hides in a woman’s appartment while healing. Then he tries to prove his innocence. You gotta love everything…

Ed Wood [1994]
The story of the “worst director” of all time Edward Wood Jr. and how he produced his low budget movies “Glen or Glenda”, “Bride of the monster” and “Plan 9 from outer space”. Johny Depp is terrific as Wood and he’s surrounded by a talented cast aswell (Martin Landau is brilliant in his oscar winning…
