3. Shutter Island

Word. I happened to enjoy it on my first viewing but it did nothing for me on a rewatch. Laughable that it's top 250.

I can still recall my classmates telling me how great the movie was and how complicated and unravelable the ending was...

From worst to slightly less terrible.
1. Hachi: A Dog's Tale (2009)
2. Warrior (2011)
3. Hera Pheri (2000)
4. Andaz Apna Apna (1994)

I'm betting number 5 comes from one of the seven I haven't seen (And I'm pretty sure I know which one it will be but I don't expect to find out):
Quote from: 7 unseen
Logan (2017)
Dangal (2016)
Babam ve Oglum (2005)
A Wednesday (2008)
Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. (2003)
Drishyam (2015)
Gangs of Wasseypur (2012)

1. Hachi: A Dog's Tale (2009)
It reminded me of Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring. Simple to execute, open to whatever you want to bring to it. There is a little amount of shameless manipulation, mostly during the owner's initial bonding with Hachi and the unnecessary bookends. The rest is earnest as you can imagine and pretty marvelously executed with a gentle hand by Lasse Hallström. (His best movie?) It must be added that the casting of Hachi at various ages is remarkable. Together they create the entire span of one amazing looking dog.
RATING: * * * - Very Good


Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
I just watched this again last night on my new 65 inch 4K TV. Despite the upgrade in visual quality, it's the screenplay that remains the jewel in the crown, still the best Blockbuster script of this century. Also, the spectacular effects hold up years later and on the upgraded TV set.
