I mean come on! This is one of the greatest film franchises EVER and this was the absolute best way to possibly start it off! A major and important thing to me personally, and really helped me shape the type of artist and creator I wished to be, espe...
The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring
This movie was really the reason I got into comic book movies and eventually comics in general. This movie started that love and was what nearly made me go into the the career of creating comics!
2002: Spider-Man
Maybe a bit of a hot take, but this is my list! I know that Lord of The Rings: Return of The King, X2, and Elf were all released this year (amongst MANY more) but this was the first movie I was ever obsessed with! I watched this almost nonstop and is...
2003: Looney Tunes: Back in Action
A beautifully tragic and sad movie but one that is so SO incredible and beautiful! Such an amazing movie! Just can't reccomend it more than saying “go see it but be ready for sadness”
2004: Friday Night Lights
This was actually the first Star Wars movie I ever saw, and it made me fall absolutely in love with science fiction and was a big reason as to why I fell so in love with space as a kid. Such a beautiful movie!
2005: Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith
This movie is a absolute masterclass. Every single aspect of this movie is so SO incredible and makes this, I think, one of the single greatest movies to EVER exist!
2006: The Prestige
An absolutely incredible movie that has one of the greatest and most well done plot twists I have ever seen! Such a beautifully thought out and perfectly executed film! It looks incredible as well!
2007: Meet the Robinsons
One of the most incredible and high quality movies to EVER be made. The Joker alone is perhaps the greatest acting performance in the history of film. Such SUCH a great movie in every aspect, and was what made me fall in love with Christopher Nolan a...
2008: The Dark Knight
An incredibly creative and one of the most impressive looking movies I have ever seen! A real dark movie that was what made me fall in love with more dark and realistic stories in film and books!
209: District 9
2010s
A movie that was a big reason into me falling head over heels in love with film scores and decided that making music for film was what I wanted to do with my life. This movie is absolutely incredible and so creative and fun in every aspect that makes...
2010: Tron: Legacy
This year was absolutely packed full of quality movies, but this is one I feel like has been forgotten to time (which is pretty ironic) and is one of the most creative and interesting movies I have ever seen. It's incredible and I wish we got a franc...
2011: In Time
This movie really is something special. A found footage film that is just so heart breaking and beautiful and dark in every aspect. I would reccomend this to anybody whoever asked me a movie to watch.
2012: Chronicle
My introduction into the world of big monsters and massive, destructive action. Such an absolutely amazing movie that really shows truly original ideas and creativity can still work in Hollywood if done well and given the chance to really shine and e...
2013: Pacific Rim
A movie that made me analyze and really think about cinematography and other aspects of it more than ever before. This was a real game changer for myself as well as cinema in general! I would say it's in the top 5 of action movies of all time!
2014: John Wick
I absolutely fell in love with this movie after watching it for the first time. Truly an absolute classic and totally the perfect film for me and the things I enjoy.
2015: Chappie
A brutal and beautiful movie that has my favorite actor ever in Andrew Garfield. Such an amazing and incredible performance from him inside of an expertly crafted movie. So beautiful and heart breaking in every aspect!
2016: Hacksaw Ridge
An absolutely incredible movie that kickstarted the monster verse and made it into one of the best and most consistent cinematic universes out there, and this is probably my favorite of the entire franchise.
2017: Kong: Skull Island
One of the single most beautiful and creative animated movies that I have ever seen. Absolutely incredible and beautiful and a movie where you can just TELL that the creators and animators were working at the absolute top of their game.
2018: Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
Documentaries are my personal favorite genre to watch, and this is one of my all time favorite documentaries I have ever seen. Absolutely beautiful and heart warming in a way that made me emotional while watching it. So so beautiful!
2019: Moonlight Sonata: Deafness In Three Movements
2020s
I know this movie was a bit of a mixed bag in terms of reviews and fan talk, but I saw this movie in theaters on opening weekend and I absolutely loved it. An absolutely amazing and creative movie that had such an intriguing story that was told exper...
2020: Tenet
This is the absolute definition of a popcorn film. Yes it has it's good, emotional moments, but this movie is all about nostalgia and fun. I adored this movie and as a giant nerd, it had me so so happy and excited the entire time. This was the only m...
2021: Spider-Man: No Way Home
A absolutely gorgeous and amazingly told movie that absolutely deserved all of the awards it won. Combining music and film in the way it did had me so so happy and watching it super closely. I loved this movie so so much!
2022: Tár
I am a absolutely massive professional wrestling fan, and this was a story that I had already known quite well. Yet this movie was made so freaking well that I still got emotional for things that I knew were coming. Absolutely incredible in every way...
2023: The Iron Claw
The recent Dune films directed by Denis Villeneuve have been some of the absolute best and greatest sci-fi movies to come out in the past decade or so. Absolutely stunning and able to handle the incredibly dense and detailed source material with a wh...
