Irresistible
Irresistible is a cute, little film not without flaws but the overall feeling you get while watching it helps you to forgive and forget those flaws.

7500
Gordon-Levitt was an excellent casting choice as he is certainly one of the best parts of 7500.

Pretty in Pink
Ringwald has an inner strength about her that makes Andie so resilient even when she is crying her eyes out.

Da 5 Bloods
Da 5 Bloods is one of Lee’s best films to date and one I’m sure that will be studied in intro to film/cinema classes at colleges all across the country.

Urban Cowboy
Winger... shines, stealing every scene she is in. She overshadows Travolta, which is usually extremely difficult to do.

The King of Staten Island
Davidson had to play Scott as so much of the story parallels his own life. He obviously drew on his experiences to bring out the emotions he faces in the film.

Disney's Zombies 2
While Z-O-M-B-I-E-S and its sequel are obviously this decade’s High School Musical, it does have its own distinctive flavor.

Jaws
Jaws was just the beginning of an ever-amazing career for Spielberg and has left audiences with a number of quotable lines including the very popular, "You're going to need a bigger boat".

The Hunt
Gilpin is great and Swank is downright deplorable herself as the evil mastermind behind The Hunt. It helps that they are surrounded by a whole bunch of actors that play their parts well.
