A film everyone needs to watch at least twice
This is, hands down, my favorite movie of all time. There are several reasons, but to name a few:
1. The big reveal was fresh in 1999. A twist that made you immediately want to watch the movie over again.
2. The story is an amazing and unique idea only a brilliant author could ever manifest. (Chuck Palahniuk)
3. The soundtrack, cinematography, and editing was practically perfect
4. The pace of the film is spot on and the characters are well rounded and portrayed
5. Just see it if you haven't

The hugely talented Mr Jackman
Amazing
A constant stream of powerful, catchy songs all accompanied by fantastic choreography and eye popping visuals. Hugh Jackman is brilliant as showman P T Barnum, as is Zac Efron and everyone else. I really couldn't find fault with this as far as entertainment value goes. My daughter has been playing the soundtrack and singing the songs ever since we saw the movie and that's fine by me (for now!). It's wonderful when a movie comes along with the power to entertain and affect you long after leaving the cinema.

Feb 15, 2018 (Updated Feb 15, 2018)
Marvel comedy-SF adventure that gambles big-time (doesn't feature a single character most people will have heard of), wins in spades due to great cast chemistry, effervescent script, and willingness to do something a bit different.
Motley crew of space ruffians meet in prison, find common cause (sort of), must stop would-be despot from causing untold devastation with plot device of ultimate power. Banging 70s and 80s soundtrack, obviously; looks fabulous too. Also strikes a welcome blow for inclusivity and representation of minorities (finally a film includes characters that raccoons and trees can identify with).

Epic scale (2 more)
Amazing action scenes
Great soundtrack
Slated by critics? However this is a moving film based around the events of Pear Harbour. It may take the story in the direction of two friends who grow up together to become pilots and fall for the same woman, but an underlying love story didn't cause Titanic any problems? The SFX are amazing and the bombing of Pearl Harbour is done on a huge scale and saddening to watch. This is a true epic of a film, artistically shot, well directed and with great lead actors which handle the tragic event so well.

Very funny characters (4 more)
Parody of disney icon-er I mean fairy tale characters that make very quoteable lines
A great soundtrack by smash mouth
Cast chemistry
Although this is a kids movie there many innuendos that adults will laugh at
Shrek is very funny
This movie is arguably DreamWorks greatest film and most recognizable too.
The cast is great and almost all of the characters are hilarious and the humor is gut hurtingly funny.
One negative is the villain is not that great

Average Netflix Thriller
A bog standard thriller that seems to be a main staple with netflix nowadays.Mackie and Grillo deserve so much better given they have been in the MCU.The plot isnt up to much,convict (grillo) has evidence of dirty cops and has to find a way of exposing them with the help of his nurse (mackie) who has had his pregnant wife kidnapped by said convicts brother.
1 or 2 ok action scenes and a few car chases make this a passable but instantly forgettable film.

Classic 1980s fantasy movie, in which a Frenchman (Christopher Lambert) plays a Scot, a Scot (Sean Connery) plays an Egyptian by way of Spain and an American (Clancy Brown) plays the Russian villain (the Kurgan), all as immortal swordsmen who must duel down through the ages (only being killed when their head is separated from their neck) in search of the mysterious Prize.
