Films on IMDB with an 8 or Higher Score (IMDB Top 750)
Put the list in order (imdb rating) and you should have every film on imdb with an 8 or above. The films with 7.9 previously had 8 but have dropped 0.1. This is a great way to see unknown films, previously unheard of. My favorites I have found due to the list are : the human condition, woman under the influence, whisper of the heart, Sansho, The Ascent, Exit Through The Gift Shop, 3-iron and Klass. Good luck trying to watch all of them.
4 Years on Edit: Just been reading the descriptions for the films and how awful and cringe-inducing the comments I made were. Some really bad jokes as well. So I apologise for this and have deleted the worst of them. I will still continue to edit the list.

- DirectorKrzysztof KieslowskiStarsMiroslaw BakaKrzysztof GlobiszJan TesarzA soon-to-be lawyer crosses his path with a taxi driver and a young sinister man.The most violent of the Dekalog TV episodes is extended by 30 minutes. It is way more graphic and violent that the original episode. Not to be seen by the squeemish
- DirectorsAndrei TarkovskyEduard AbalovStarsNikolay BurlyaevValentin ZubkovEvgeniy ZharikovDuring WWII, Soviet orphan Ivan Bondarev strikes up a friendship with three sympathetic Soviet officers while working as a scout behind the German lines.Tarkovsky's best film, also his first. War films are rarely so gripping
- DirectorAlfred HitchcockStarsMargaret LockwoodMichael RedgravePaul LukasWhile travelling in continental Europe, a rich young playgirl realizes that an elderly lady seems to have disappeared from the train.Hitchcock's second to last british film. Very old, but the story is still effective.
- DirectorWerner HerzogStarWerner HerzogThis film surveys the disaster of the Kuwaiti oil fields in flames, with little narration and scarcely any interviews. Hell on Earth is presented in such transcendent visions and music that one can only be fascinated by it.WOW, a Herzog documentary I have yet to see...
- DirectorPeter WeirStarsJim CarreyEd HarrisLaura LinneyAn insurance salesman begins to suspect that his whole life is actually some sort of reality TV show.Was shown this in a Religious Education class. Loved it. Carey's best performance to date (which tbh isn't much of an acheivement)
- DirectorClint EastwoodStarsSean PennTim RobbinsKevin BaconThe tragic murder of a 19-year-old girl reunites three childhood friends still living in Boston--the victim's gangster father, a detective, and the disturbed man they both suspect of killing her.I never thought I would see Kevin Bacon in a good film.
- DirectorBrad BirdStarsCraig T. NelsonSamuel L. JacksonHolly HunterWhile trying to lead a quiet suburban life, a family of undercover superheroes are forced into action to save the world.
- DirectorRoman PolanskiStarsMia FarrowJohn CassavetesRuth GordonA young couple trying for a baby moves into an aging, ornate apartment building on Central Park West, where they find themselves surrounded by peculiar neighbors.

This is a legendary black comedy - DirectorPaul Thomas AndersonStarsTom CruiseJason RobardsJulianne MooreAn epic mosaic of interrelated characters in search of love, forgiveness and meaning in the San Fernando Valley.The first five minutes is the best five minutes of any film ever. The rest is good as well. Tom Cruise can actually act in his film
- DirectorTim BurtonStarsEwan McGregorAlbert FinneyBilly CrudupA frustrated son tries to determine the fact from fiction in his dying father's life.Love this film. I am very jealous of Tim Burton's imagination
- DirectorGore VerbinskiStarsJohnny DeppGeoffrey RushOrlando BloomBlacksmith Will Turner teams up with eccentric pirate "Captain" Jack Sparrow to save Elizabeth Swann, the governor's daughter and his love, from Jack's former pirate allies, who are now undead.I prefer the second one, SUE ME
- DirectorTim BurtonStarsJohnny DeppMartin LandauSarah Jessica ParkerAmbitious but troubled movie director Edward D. Wood Jr. tries his best to fulfill his dreams despite his lack of talent.A very entertaining biopic. Helping prove 1994 is the best year for film
- DirectorRon HowardStarsRussell CroweEd HarrisJennifer ConnellyA mathematical genius, John Nash made an astonishing discovery early in his career and stood on the brink of international acclaim. But the handsome and arrogant Nash soon found himself on a harrowing journey of self-discovery.A beautiful film
- DirectorQuentin TarantinoStarsUma ThurmanDavid CarradineMichael MadsenThe Bride continues her quest of vengeance against her former boss and lover Bill, the reclusive bouncer Budd, and the treacherous, one-eyed Elle.I do not understand why the film has hate. It is brilliant. The part were she is buried alive is one of the best parts in any Tarantino film. Also I have the soundtrack at home, which is sweeeeeet
- DirectorAri FolmanStarsAri FolmanRon Ben-YishaiRonny DayagAn Israeli film director interviews fellow veterans of the 1982 invasion of Lebanon to reconstruct his own memories of his term of service in that conflict.Probably the best adult animation out there. Documents the Lebanon war, from different soldiers perspectives. Also has nudity, which is very weird, for an animation.
- DirectorMartin ScorseseStarsLeonardo DiCaprioEmily MortimerMark RuffaloTwo US marshals are sent to a mental institution on an inhospitable island in order to investigate the disappearance of a patient.
- DirectorAlfonso CuarónStarsJulianne MooreClive OwenChiwetel EjioforIn 2027, in a chaotic world in which women have somehow become infertile, a former activist agrees to help transport a miraculously pregnant woman to a sanctuary at sea.Has some really good moments. poor poor Michael Caine.
- DirectorsPete DocterDavid SilvermanLee UnkrichStarsBilly CrystalJohn GoodmanMary GibbsIn order to power the city, monsters have to scare children so that they scream. However, the children are toxic to the monsters, and after a child gets through, two monsters realize things may not be what they think.Saw this when I was 6. Necessary viewing for any child. It is enjoyable for adults as well.
"put that thing back were it came from, or so help me (bom bom bom)" - DirectorBarry LevinsonStarsDustin HoffmanTom CruiseValeria GolinoAfter a selfish L.A. yuppie learns his estranged father left a fortune to an autistic-savant brother in Ohio that he didn't know existed, he absconds with his brother and sets out across the country, hoping to gain a larger inheritance.
- DirectorAndrei TarkovskyStarsOleg YankovskiyErland JosephsonDomiziana GiordanoA Russian poet and his interpreter travel to Italy researching the life of an 18th-century composer, and instead meet a ruminative madman who tells the poet how the world may be saved.remarkable scene with a candle near the end
- DirectorWoody AllenStarsMartin LandauWoody AllenBill BernsteinAn ophthalmologist's mistress threatens to reveal their affair to his wife while a married documentary filmmaker is infatuated with another woman.Average Woody Allen film. If you're a fan of Woody Allen, being Woody Allen, you will love this
- DirectorsBéla TarrÁgnes HranitzkyStarsLars RudolphPeter FitzHanna SchygullaA naive young man witnesses an escalation of violence in his small hometown following the arrival of a mysterious circus attraction.Not a massive fan of Bela tarr. Not going to rush and see this. Maybe if I might think of killing myself, I might see this.
- DirectorAndrei TarkovskyStarsErland JosephsonSusan FleetwoodAllan EdwallAt the dawn of World War III, a man searches for a way to restore peace to the world and finds he must give something in return.Slow, very slow. Wasn't expecting it to be Swedish
- DirectorAkira KurosawaStarsToshirô MifuneMasayuki MoriKyôko KagawaA vengeful young man marries the daughter of a corrupt industrialist in order to seek justice for his father's suicide.A solidly good Shakespeare adaptation from the master Kurosawa. Not his best, but worth watching if you can find it. Something I like about his adaptations of Shakespeare is, there is no 'old English', which I despise. All 3 (Ran, Throne of Blood and the Bad Sleep well) are great films.
