Lots of twists, interesting plot, claustrophobic
Mark Edwards' crime thriller is interesting because there is a massive psychological element to it. At times it is claustrophobic, especially as the protagonist continues to believe her assistant is plotting to overthrow her. While it does become slightly over the top, it's still gripping and engaging.

Javier Bardem makes an awesome villian
Cinematography
An epic classic
Everything about this film is top quality, the cast, story, score, cinematography and dialogue. Javier Bardem is immense as the icy cool killer hired to retrieve the money stolen from a drug deal gone bad. Sure to be a cult classic!

Last of the PSOne Final Fantasys
Great story line, multiple hours of game play. The mini-games (Choco Hot or Cold) are actually fun and not to terribly monotonous. Average game play story and various mini-quests and side events can easily top out over 100 hours. Good replay value.

Cause everybody digs a swingin' cat
This has always been one of my favorite Disney movies. The music is top notch "Everybody wants to be a cat" is such a fun and catchy song I remember rewinding the tape as a kid just so I could watch the scene over and over.
  
The Silence of the Lambs (1991)
The Silence of the Lambs (1991)
1991 | Horror, Thriller
I was late to the table having only recently watched this gripping and monstrous psychological thriller, Jodie Foster as the FBI agent in training needing Hannibal Lecter's insight into a case, Hopkins plays the manipulative cannibal with aplomb and you fear for Clarice at every turn. Top quality scares in this one.
  
Cast Away (2000)
Cast Away (2000)
2000 | Action, Drama
Truly meme worthy, Cast Away features one of Tom Hanks’ best performances in front of the camera. The only reason it didn’t make the list is because Life of Pi features similar films, and I think that is the better film.

Dresden's world keeps getting scarier
Without spoiling anything, Harrys Dresden's world is a scary place and his unique place in it gives him a perspective that is so enjoyable to read. I couldn't put the book down and eagerly read it again and again.
