- Woyzeck (1976)
- An excellent script matched by Kinski's excellent portrayal is let down by the visuals, as with the exception of several amazing scenes, as in the majority of the film the camera is poorly utilized, and it feels more like a play than cinema.
- Nosferatu (1979)
- Visually astounding with a pure gothic aesthetic, this hypnotises the viewer and is excellent in every area. My favorite Herzog movie.
- Herzog Kinski Collection (Aguirre, Fitzcarraldo, Nosferatu, Cobra Verde, Woyzeck, My Best Fiend) (1972-1999)
- 5 brilliant performances from both actor and director, and a Herzog documentary to boot.
- Mary and Max (2008)
- This is easily the most depressing movie I have ever seen. I have no idea why it is commonly classed as childrens, but be warned, kiddy suicide rates may rise. Well animated, but he characters feel flat. Adam Elliot is just repeating himself.
- Fellini Satyricon (1970)
- It's not that purely entertaining, and it seems indulgent, but once it ends you feel a sense of awe at this unique accomplishment, and it definitely makes you think.
- Double Indemnity (1944)
- Pretty much a perfect noir, but it didn't grip me emotionally as some others have. Still, the dialogue, acting and cinematography are all exceptional.
- DVD $19.95
- House On Haunted Hill (1958)
- Very good horror movie, until it ends leaving several important things unexplained. Vincent Price is excellent.
- Adventures of Shark Boy and Lava Girl, The (2005)
- Dull and seems to be trying to say "look how wacky I can be!"
- Spy Kids (2001)
- This is very creative film is enjoyable is for a young audience, but does not have much appeal for older viewers.
- Night at the Museum (2006)
- Fairly enjoyable on first viewing, but quickly becomes stale.
