2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
While I am far from being a fan of Kubrick's, I'd be lying if I said this wasn't an excellently made movie -- newer movies made with ostensibly better tools at hand don't look as seemlessly put together as this film. If I were the gullible type, I'd believe this was actually filmed in space.
That all being said, I still don't find it that entertaining.

I Love a Man in Uniform (1993)
Being a fan of Tom McCamus, I've wanted to see this film for ages. Due to it not being all that well known a picture, though, I've never been able to find a copy to watch, not even online. It finally appeared on TV, though, allowing me a chance to finally see it.
Well, I'm happy to say I wasn't disappointed. McCamus' excellent performance of an actor going through a gradual mental breakdown is a perfect reminder of why he's a favourite actor of mine.

Invasion of the Bunny Snatchers (1992)
Mediocre animation and lame reuse of gags executed better in the early Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies shorts do not a worthwhile cartoon make. I got maybe two or three laughs out of this piece of crap, and they were short ones.

The Duxorcist (1987) - B-
The Night of the Living Duck (1988)
So this is one of the last cartoons Mel Blanc worked on before he died? Pretty lame note to go out on.
C
Red Lights (2012)
When I finished watching this, I was left with the impression that this was a well-made movie; the colour grading is offensively ugly and the direction a little iffy, but I thought the writing made up for it.
After I went online to read some opinions on the film, though, the flaws became glaringly apparent to me and I came to realize that in spite of it's respectable veneer, the story is riddled with numerous plots holes and illogical events -- none all that major on their own, but when pooled together prove to be thoroughly undermining.
C
Dial M for Murder (1954)
Bland direction, no likable characters, and all that convoluted nonsense with the keys near the end make this one of the most overrated movies I've ever seen. Ray Milland's performance is the only real saving grace this picture has.
I'm positive that were it not for Hitchcock's name, this movie would've been forgotten decades ago.
C-
Grass (1999)
Moderately entertaining and stylishly put together, but it's obviously biased and I'm sure it's not as comprehensive as it could have been.
