215 Films have been rated or reviewed by dr.strangelove.

Despicable Me (2010): Fairly entertaining, but it becomes unbearably sentimental at parts.
All About Eve (1950): A perfect cast in this excellently scripted classic.
Treasure of the Sierra Madre, The (1948): Very entertaining and a fine example of a bogart cynic.
Fistful of Dollars, A (1964): One of the few remakes just as memorable as the original (Yojimbo). It's exciting and beautifully shot.
Stray Dog (Nora Inu) (1949): An excellent noir, with memorable characters. Kurosawa is just as good when not focusing on samurai.
Cast Away (2000): Amazingly emotional. Tom Hanks best work, and one of Zemeckis' best. All round excellent.
Shawshank Redemption, The (1994): Pretty good but overly sentimental and predictable.
Twelve Angry Men (12 Angry Men) (1957): Incredible
Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991): Quite a different film from the first, the two terminator's fit their roles perfectly, but some of the dialogue is awful and John Connor is irritating.
Terminator Salvation (2009): Average, Sam Worthington is unimpressive.
