Gated Community of Great Films




In this community are films that, in my opinion, are worthy of being celebrated and recognized as distinguished contributions to the art form. 



This list is open to any and all films, and will expand in years to come. The Films are listed alphabetically.



To view a film, click the title, which will lead you to the Amazon Video version of the film. Renting and/or buying the films through this link helps out the blog.



Note, this page serves only as a list, and is in my opinion. If you would like to see a review of the films, please suggest them, and I will be sure to add them to the schedule.



So, without further ado, here are the honored films:





Did your favorites make the list? What films do you think should be added? I will consider any suggestions made in the comments below.

Is It Practically Perfect in Every Way?

*This review will contain spoilers for Mary Poppins Returns Many decades ago, Mary Poppins arrived on Cherry Tree Lane to amaze and enchant the silver screen. Now, Disney has released a sequel, but is it as incredible as all those years ago? In my opinion, this film manages to capture the essence of the original impeccably. From the high energy magic to the blurred lines between reality and imagination, the feel is absolutely astounding, and accurately captures the essence of the original, but with a few changes. Set 15 years after the original, Michael Banks, now a father of three, is about to lose the beloved family home from a loan. This places him in some paths similar to those of his father, including snapping at his children. The arrival of Mary leads the family on a path of discovery and growth, all the while educating the viewers on remaining optimistic in dark times, as there's "Nowhere to go but up". Emily Blundt plays a different, almost slightly cold...

It All Comes Down to This (Avengers: Infinity War)

*This review will contain spoilers for Avengers: Infinity War Ten years ago, an idea began which sought to create a massive cinematic universe capable of holding its audience... And now, that journey begins to come to a real head. Avengers: Infinity War is the culmination of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which has now spanned an entire decade. While the universe has its weaker films, Marvel has managed to create an intriguing, and self-sustaining storyline throughout all the entries. And now, we can all sit back and watch the sun rise over a grateful Earth as the Avengers, now joined with almost every hero in the MCU, defeat the Mad Titan once and for all, right? Well, as those of you who have seen the film by now, this was definitely NOT what happened. This is one of the first Superhero films I have actually seen where the good guys actually lose. While many expected this, we may not have anticipated the full scale of what would happen at the end of this film. While it i...

A Literal "Ghost in the Shell": Anime Spirit in a Live Action Body

*This Review will contain spoilers for Ghost in the Shell . I am not an Anime person. I just wanted to state that at the beginning of this review, as my opinions are not based in a former enjoyment of Anime. That being said, this film has me interested in this genre of entertainment and animation film. The live action adaptation of Ghost in the Shell felt like an anime in spirit, but a live action "shell" (pun intended). I found the cinematography remarkable in this film, as numerous shots felt like panels from a graphic novel, similar to how The Walking Dead  occasionally copies a shot directly from an illustration. However, this feeling was present throughout the film. A fantastic example comes when Major strains her muscles ripping open the tank. The splitting of the muscle and the particles flying off feel like an image from a comic book. It is shots like this that made for an inclusive experience. While I saw the film in 2D, I could see the 3D version havin...
