Man Versus Film
Hi, I'm Graham and welcome back to Man Versus Film.
This is going to be a top ten of movies you can watch this June
2016 on Netflix UK
Number 10 on my list is Super 8.
During the summer of 1979
a group of friends witness a train crash
and investigate subsequent unexplained events in their small town.
Directed by JJ Abrams, this movie is cross between
The Goonies and ET.
The opening half of the movie is all about the kids
growing up sort of evolving
working together, their interactions and is really good.
The second half kind of moves into a more genre specific kind of monster movie.
Number nine, is House of the Devil.
Samantha takes a babysitting job
and is surrounded by mysterious circumstances.
Ti West made this throw back to late seventies
early eighties horror movies in this slow paced thriller
It takes a while to get going but when it does it really starts to ramp the tension.
really well, and it ends up in a really satisfying conclusion.
This is an alternative horror fix. If you're into that kind of thing.
Number eight is The Edge.
A billionaire and two men
struggle to survive together
in the Alaskan wilderness while they are being chased
by a bear.
it is written by David Mamet who is fantastic with dialogue and story.
It stars Alec Baldwin and Anthony Hopkins.
It's a great script and with David Mamet's involvement, takes in some mind games
As these guys are trying to survive in the wilderness and there is some history between them as well.
Add in the threat of the bear, It just makes a really great thriller.
Number seven on my list is RED
Ex assassin and black ops specialist Frank Moses
retirement is put under threat when he is
mysteriously attacked for no reason what so ever.
He must group together his old teammates
and try and figure out why people are trying to take out these retired ex forces members
Bruce Willis is actually pretty good in this and stars alongside John Malkovich, Helen Mirren
Morgan freeman and Mary-Louise Parker.
This action comedy works on so many levels
and everybody in it, just is playing on their A game
and it just turns into an extremely fun
really well shot, exciting comedic movie.
This is a real entertaining watch that i just
i love to just sit back, throw on and just switch off my brain
and enjoy the hell out of this thing.
Number six on my list is Kickboxer.
Kurt Stone must learn the ancient art of Muay Thai
kickboxing in order to avenge his brother.
Jean Claude Van Damme stars in this, so bad it's great action flick from the late eighties.
The action is really good.
The bad guy is over the top fantastic
megalomaniacal kind of evil villain that
you just don't assume
people like this actually exist but in the movie world they're great.
And to top it all off you have Jean Claude Van Damme
kind of drunk dance sequence in the middle of this movie that makes absolutely no sense
But is ridiculously funny just to watch.
This movie is just awesome on almost every level.
Number five is Employee of the Month.
A slacker competes with the
repeat winner of the employee of the month title at work
In order to win the affections of a new female coworker.
This is one of these forgettable throwaway comedies that i keep coming back too
every now and again and i enjoy it more every time that i watch it.
Because of the characters and because of the humour that's in it.
It actually works a lot better than it should.
Number four on my list is The Midnight Meat Train.
A photographer's obsessive nature leads him into the path of a serial killer
who stalks late night commuters on a train.
Based on a story by Clive Barker it stars
Bradley Cooper before he was famous and Vinnie Jones as the serial killer.
If you like your horror with a little bit more gore, this is the one for you.
Number three on my list is Looper.
A time traveling movie
Where an assassin is sent back in time to be killed by himself.
But things don't go to plan.
I absolutely love Looper.
And i'm going to leave the synopsis as short as that
because I think it needs to be discovered through watching the movie
It's best not knowing whats coming.
Bruce Willis and Joseph Gordon-Levitt playing
playing the same character although thirty years apart
Are both
at the top of their A Game in their movie.
and Rian Johnston who directs it
does a great job. He also did one of my favourite movies ever, Brick and he's doing the next Star Wars movie.
This was my favourite movie of 2012
I highly suggest you check this out.
Number two on my list is Blue Ruin.
When a broken, homeless man returns to his home town for vengeance
he winds up in a fight for survival
to protect his estranged family.
After seeing Jeremy Saulnier's Green Room
I just wanted to remind folk about Blue Ruin
A movie a lot of people haven't seen
but is truly one of the best movies of recent years.
It is a fantastic watch.
It's got a great lead performance by Macon Blair
The film just oozes class with its cinematography and direction. This is a great flick that you have to check out.
Number one on my list, and i've gone for a classic or at least a classic to me
and that is Die Hard.
When German terrorists take over the Nakatomi Plaza
It's up to NYPD police officer John McClain to
save the day, save his family and get rid of the terrorists.
This is the perfect action movie.
In fact it's one of the best movies ever made in my opinion.
It's got a star making turn by Bruce Willis.
And it has an even better performance by Alan Rickman as bad guy Hans Gruber.
Every story element within this movie gets tied off with a nice satisfying end.
Even the smallest sub-plot has a great conclusion to it.
When's the last time you watched Die Hard?
Everybody's probably seen it.
But you should definitely check it out and you'll be reminded within minutes how fantastic a movie this is.
How great it is and you'll get drawn straight into the story
and realise that, yeah, this is one of the greatest movies of all time.
