RATING: 9/10, very fun movie, fast-paced, funny, memorable and weird, always something new to enjoy when rewatching.
2. Iron Monkey
SUMMARY: A masked vigilante named Iron Monkey works together with Wong Kei-Ying and his son, Wong Fei-Hung to bring down the corrupt officials that oppress his town (Essentially, Chinese Robin Hood).
RATING: 9/10, also very fun, great action, doesn't get boring, very enjoyable characters, and very rewatchable.
3. Evil Dead 2
SUMMARY: A college student named Ash Williams gets stuck in a cabin in the woods and has to defend himself against a demonic force known as the Deadites.
RATING: 9/10, very funny, mixes horror and comedy really well, has easily one of the most iconic and badass protagonists in any horror story.
4. In the Mouth of Madness
SUMMARY: An investigator named John Trent is hired to investigate the disappearance of world-famous horror author, Sutter Cane, who's books are known to drive the reader insane. But he soon finds out the books are more than just fiction.
RATING: 8/10, great horror flick, my favorite in John Carpenter's Apocalypse Trilogy and easily the best Lovecraft-based movie, very fun and trippy.
5. Prince of Darkness
SUMMARY: A priest brings a group of college students to an abandoned church to research a mysterious container of green liquid said to be the physical embodiment of Satan himself, and it has plans to unleash something more terrifying than even itself.
RATING: 8/10, another great horror flick by Carpenter, simple but so complex and interesting, mixes science and religion very well and gives a fresh take on devil movies.
6. Pee Mak
SUMMARY: A parody of the 1999 Thai horror movie "Nang Nak" which is based on the real Thai ghost, Mae Nak Phra Khanong, "Pee Mak" follows the comedic quartet of Shin, Ter, Puak, and Aey as they accompany their new friend, Pee Mak home from the war to his wife in his local village, but they soon find out Mak's wife might actually be a ghost.
RATING: 8/10, one of the funniest movies I've ever seen, every moment is a laugh from beginning to end, even having a few scares here and their. (Side Note: You don't actually have to watch the original movie to get this one, it can still be enjoyed on its own.)
7. The Prince of Egypt
SUMMARY: An animated musical adaptation of the Moses/Exodus story of the Old Testament, following the journey of Moses from becoming a prince of Egypt to the savior of the Hebrew people.
RATING: 9/10, easily one of the best movies I've ever seen, great cast, phenomenal score by Hans Zimmer, great animation, an amazing retelling of the Exodus story, always gets me emotional and I'm never not amazed at what this movie accomplishes. Also has my favorite depiction of God in any movie.
8. Ben-Hur
SUMMARY: A Jewish prince named Judah Ben-Hur is betrayed by his childhood friend now a Roman commander, Messala. Judah then spends the next few years after being sold off as a slave to return home to take revenge on his former friend and reunite with his family whom Messala also arrested.
RATING: 9/10, a must-see movie for anyone, easily one of the most epic movies ever. Every scene feels grand and you really get sucked into the story right away. The chariot race is also easily one of the most epic movie scenes of all time.
9. Gamera: Guardian of the Universe
SUMMARY: Japan gets attacked by giant monster birds that eat everything in sight, until another giant monster named Gamera comes in to prevent humanity from getting wiped out.
RATING: 8/10, great monster movie, with great effects, great action, and a fun engaging story. Classic good vs. evil story, and a fun flick to watch for anyone who likes giant monster movies.
10. Rear Window
SUMMARY: A photographer named L. B Jefferies who is recovering from a broken leg has nothing to do but watch his neighbors in the other apartments from his window. After a series of strange events, he suspects one of the neighbors has committed murder.
RATING: 9/10, easily my favorite Alfred Hitchcock movie, this is a movie without a single boring scene and keeps your eyes stuck to the screen despite only being set in one location, also proves why Hitchcock is the master of suspense. Everything in this movie, besides even the mystery, will keep you interested and entertained, the 1 hour 52-minute runtime will fly by very fast.
