Basically like with the other appreciation threads, I'm going to keep editing my list of Movies that I've enjoyed over the years, plus more recent Movies that I've liked.
And like with the other threads, alternative lists and opinions are welcome.
Now let my ego commence.
Seriously though here's the list.
1. Blade
Genres - Action, Horror, Sci-Fi, Superhero
I haven't seen the sequels yet, but I really enjoyed this particular Film, Snipes as Blade and Dorff as Deacon Frost were the show stealers for me.
2. Tron
Genres - Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi
Again I haven't watched the sequel yet, but I did enjoy this Film from the Tron franchise.
Obviously don't go into it expecting a 2023 budget and thankfully it isn't written like a 2023 Hollywood script.
But it does have likable characters, and an interesting concept that imo is better fleshed out in Tron: Uprising, but this Film definitely deserves credit for creating such an interesting world that sadly hasn't had enough done with it imo.
3. Die Hard
Genres - Action, Thriller
Another one where I need to watch the sequels as I had such a blast with this Film.
It knew what it was and it wasn't ashamed of it, and it was really good at what it was doing.
I bet that the critics at the time would probably dismiss it because it wasn't a sophisticated Drama, but it thankfully wasn't trying to be that as it wouldn't suit the Film's tone and style, even though the critics never understand that with Films like this.
A great Film imo.
4. Minority Report
Genres - Action, Crime, Mystery, Sci-Fi, Thriller
5. Sonic The Hedgehog
Genres - Action, Adventure, Comedy, Family, Fantasy, Sci-Fi
Just take it for what it is, it's not meant to be the next LOTR or whatever other big epic sagas you want to throw out there, it's just a fun family Film.
And imo an extra blast for Sonic die hards.
6. Iron Man
Genres - Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi, Superhero
7. Monsters, Inc
Genres - Animation, Adventure, Comedy, Family, Fantasy
8. Mama
Genres - Fantasy, Horror, Thriller
Again ignore the Movie critics who just want everything to be a "sophisticated Drama" this is meant to be an eerie Horror Movie, and personally I feel that it mostly succeeded at that.
Like any Movie there's imperfections, but nothing earth shattering imo.
It's a worthwhile Film for any Horror fan to check out.
9. Sword Of The Stranger
Genres - Action, Adventure, Historical
A brilliant Movie imo, even MAL agrees with an 8.26/10 and I don't always necessarily agree with all of their scores on Anime products, but I do on this occasion.
Honestly check it out, it won't disappoint.
And just to add I honestly can't believe Bones made this, don't get me wrong I like a lot of Bones Studios content, but they normally make very different Animes to Sword Of The Stranger, or at least they do nowadays.
10. Blade Of The Phantom Master
Genres - Action, Fantasy
This is a controversial Film because the Manga fans say that the Manga is way better (which I don't doubt tbf) but as someone that hasn't read the Manga I really enjoyed the Film.
But then I like tragic stories of this type, so maybe I'm being biased, who knows.
All I can say is that I really enjoyed the Film, which I'll gladly take.
