Jankp's Categorized 4 And 5 Star Movies
Mar 14 '03 (Updated Aug 04 '03)
The Bottom Line Check back for updates!
Some reviewers list their all-time favorite films here that extend far beyond ten because selecting so few is very difficult. I did make such a list much earlier, but it has naturally become a little outdated and so now I am offering you a list with currently five or more 5 or 4 starred movies in the categories of Science Fiction, Comedy, Drama, Suspense and Children (Horror has two) that I can keep updated.
Movies I gave three stars may be marginally recommended, like Unfaithful, Chain Reaction, Replicant, Ten Commandments, Family Plot and Without Limits, but they don't need to be in a Best list for sure. Please check out the review before deciding to rent something you haven't heard of, okay? Casino Royale, for example, is a zany comedy, but it's not everybody's kind of humor. You will notice that I review a lot of older movies mostly on VHS and no brand new movies, although I'm using Netflix now and reviewing some DVDs. I enjoy most finding unreviewed movies that I can recommend for a good time.
Hopefully this break-down of my four and five-starred movies will remind or inform you of movies you would like to see as well as give an overview of my particular movie tastes.
