- Cry-Baby (Cry baby) (1990)
- A fun, camp, hugely enjoyable classic with hilarious performances and an awesome soundtrack.
- There Will Be Blood (2007)
- Daniel Day–Lewis dominates this film with an incredible sense of power and purpose. He is matched by a superb story and beautiful camerawork.

- Barton Fink (1991)
- Full of iconic characters and moments, with biting humour and a real sense of humanity and wisdom.
- Shining, The (1980)
- A film packed with incredible intensity and atmosphere without reliance on gore, its one of the few horror films I can watch and enjoy. Genuinely frightening with incredible acting, brilliant direction, it is also surprisingly intelligent and resonant.

- Star Trek (Star Trek XI (Reboot)) (2009)
- For someone with absolutely no intrest in the franchise, this is a really sharp, exciting and fresh experience.
- Out of the Blue (Aramoana) (2006)
- A haunting, resonant masterpiece with an incredibe sense of humanity and spirit. Not just the best New Zealand film, but amongst the best period.

- Saving Private Ryan (1998)
- Apart from a really, incredible Normandy Landing scene, it\'s a pretty standard war film populated with stock–standard characters.

- Black Hawk Down (2001)
- Makes up for flat characterisation and dodgy politics with absolutely riveting action.
- Men Who Stare at Goats, The (2009)
- A truly hilarious film with great performances from Clooney, Bridges and Spacey that is let down by a pretty shoddy ending.
