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

Die Hard (1988): pure excitement with great performances from Willis and Rickman; DVD ~~$25~~ $18.75
Sanjuro (1962): Even better than Yojimbo, the story is cleverer and the character of Sanjuro seems more developed.
Terminator, The (1984): An immensely satisfying and enjoyable action–scifi film. The soundtrack is great.
Alien 3 (1992): Much better than Aliens, this has inventive camerawork and strong characters. It doesn't build suspense or have as well developed a story as the first, but it would have been an excellent final chapter for Ripley.
Mars Attacks! (1996): Very enjoyable, the cast is perfect in this goofy sci–fi parody/satire/homage. Similar to Gremlins and Young Frankenstein.
Be Kind Rewind (2008): Kind of what would happen if someone placed the Barry character from High Fidelity in a video store. The swedes are easily the best part.
Clerks (1993): Well written dialogue and interesting characters.
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001): Very self–indulgent but enjoyable for the many cameos.; DVD $39.95
Chasing Amy (1997): Solidly acted and written.
Dogma (1999): Kevin Smith's best acted and best plotted movie, with the exception of Chasing Amy. Can be very funny but also very crude.
