Longer than necessary and not that exciting but the fact that it was shot on an iPhone 4 is incredible.

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom 1984
Weakest of the original trilogy but not by that much to be honest. I think to have a much darker film in the middle of the trilogy was a very smart decision. Also, the way people talk about Temple Of Doom you’d think it’s much darker than it actually is. There are some brutal scenes but overall it’s a great adventure film with ultimately a happy ending and it’s quite funny at parts to. Ke Huy Quan as short round…

Raiders of the Lost Ark 1981
Of course I have to rewatch all the Indians Jones films before dial of destiny. Raiders is perfect, would not change absolutely anything, in my top 4 for very good reason, the best adventure film of all time and Spielbergs best (which is really saying something.) I sort of see the first three Indiana Jones movies in the same light as the original Star Wars movies- they were both a very big part of my childhood and feel like the…

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse 2023
Of all the new wave of multiverse films in the last few years this is easily my favourite. Also the best Spider-Man film bar Spider-Man 2. They somehow took everything that was so great about the first one and elevated it even further. If the third one is even better this has the potential to top the dark knight as best superhero movie trilogy definitely. The wait till March 2024 is going to feel so long but I can not wait. These films are the superhero genre at its most inventive.

Casablanca 1942
On first watch you can tell why this film is so timeless. It’s very obvious that it still has so much influence today.

12 Angry Men 1957
Some of the best acting I’ve ever seen and really makes you think how many cases have been accused falsely just by not enough careful looking at evidence.
On another note, jury service has a hell of a lot to live up to now.

Do the Right Thing 1989
Hard to think of a film that deals with the same themes of this film in a better way.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 2023
Unquestionably the best MCU film since Endgame. This really had the marvel feel of films made in phase 3. I know a lot of people say that superhero films lack heart and that is very true of the MCU past phase 3 (with the exception of wakanda Forever and NWH) but this film felt quite special.
Rocket, as has been said so many times about this film, is the best part about the film. His backstory is maybe the m…

Apocalypse Now 1979
Seeing this in 1979 only 7 years after the war ended must have been insane. More of a horror film than a war film and the direction combined with the cinematography really gives the whole thing a major nightmarish feel. If you’re not counting Schindlers list I’d say this is the best war film of all time. Also, I was expecting this to be stylistically quite similar to the Godfather because they were pretty close together and obviously both by…
