Day 42: Favorite Movie Based On A Play
A FEW GOOD MEN (1992) I almost picked 12 Angry Men until I realized that it had been a teleplay first, film second and then adapted into a play. A Few Good Men represents one Rob Reiner’s best dramas, adapted… Continue reading

Day 41: Favorite Movie Based On A Comic Or Graphic Novel
SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE (1978) Even though I’ve read more Batman, this movie still hits me square in the gut, relating to me on a more personal level (especially as a child) and its faithful adaptation to the source material. Richard… Continue reading

Day 40: A Movie You Wish More People Would've Seen
BRICK (2005) I think this was a hard film for the general viewing public to want to watch. Brick was a film festival darling and because of it, it never reached many theaters. And that’s too bad, because it’s amazing.… Continue reading

Day 39: A Movie That Used To Love But Now Hate
MOONRAKER (1979) I loved this movie when I was a kid. Then I grew up and watched it again. It hasn’t aged well and I’ve discovered that studios will do anything to help promote James Bond to whatever is popular… Continue reading

Day 37: A Movie Premise That Makes You Say, "Now Why Didn't I Think Of That?"
ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND (2004) Everyone has had those thoughts, those desires to erase the memories of a failed relationship. Even if not everyone, at least I knew that I had and when I saw this film for… Continue reading

Day 36: The Movie With The Best Soundtrack
THE CROW (1993) I mentioned this before when asked about soundtracks earlier this month. Still hasn’t changed since then and probably never will. It’s hard to top a single album with STP, Nine Inch Nails, The Cure, Rage Against the… Continue reading

Day 35: The Most Surprising Plot Twist Or Ending
MEMENTO (2000) One of the most brilliantly conceived original ideas I’ve ever seen put on film, it blew me away when it reached its final frames. It’s not so much a plot twist as it is a surprise ending. The… Continue reading

Day 34: Favorite Movie Basted On A Television Series
THE FUGITIVE (1993) I knew that title would be a popular choice, but it’s true. In all sincerity, this is by far the best film adapted from a television series and every studio that attempts to do it since this… Continue reading

Day 33: Favorite Film Based on Actual Events Or A Real Person
ZODIAC (2007) I didn’t choose this movie because of how accurate it was to the source material and actual events. This film took pretty big liberties to make it a great narrative film, and sometimes you have to do that… Continue reading
