- DirectorRoger SpottiswoodeStarsPierce BrosnanJonathan PryceMichelle YeohJames Bond sets out to stop a media mogul's plan to induce war between China and the UK in order to obtain exclusive global media coverage.The first ever movie I saw in the cinema. Two friends of mine dragged me to it. The only thing I remember/left an impression was Teri Hatcher. Very hot.
- DirectorSteven SpielbergStarsLiam NeesonRalph FiennesBen KingsleyIn German-occupied Poland during World War II, industrialist Oskar Schindler gradually becomes concerned for his Jewish workforce after witnessing their persecution by the Nazis.My high school had booked the cinema for a screening of this to us. My first ever drama on the big screen and probably generally aswell as I didn't really watch drama movies at that age. It definitely left an impression, powerful movie.
Currently the highest rated movie on the Top 250 (at nr. 7) that I saw in a cinema. - DirectorRob BowmanStarsDavid DuchovnyGillian AndersonJohn NevilleMulder and Scully must fight the government in a conspiracy and find the truth about an alien colonization of Earth.Watched at a school trip in London. Funny story, I was not an X-Files fan at the time, and I actually voted to watch The Horse Whisperer instead. Thankfully the majority was for X-Files so we went to that movie instead, and after that I was hooked.
- DirectorAnders NilssonStarsJakob EklundPeter AnderssonMarie RichardsonJohan is a two-fisted Gothenburg cop who finds himself in a shoot-out with jewel robbers. After the smoke has cleared, one robber, shot by his accomplice, and an innocent bystander, are dead. Three witnesses, including Helen, identify thug extraordinaire Leo Gaut as being the dead crook's trigger-happy colleague. Gaut soon threatens the three witnesses, and only Johan, the badge-wearing hero, can save them.Two free tickets to this with the purchase of a car (not the best of deals ;) ). Thrilled that they recorded a part in Scandinavium, awesome!
- DirectorMilos FormanStarsJim CarreyDanny DeVitoGerry BeckerThe life and career of legendary comedian Andy Kaufman.The first time I ever watched a movie in a completely empty screening. Only me and my friend.
- DirectorClint EastwoodStarsClint EastwoodTommy Lee JonesDonald SutherlandWhen retired engineer Frank Corvin is called upon to rescue a failing satellite, he insists that his equally old teammates accompany him into space.
- DirectorTodd PhillipsStarsBreckin MeyerSeann William ScottAmy SmartFour college buddies embark on a road trip to retrieve an illicit tape mistakenly mailed to a female friend.Were supposed to see The 6th Day, but were a bit late and they didn't let us in, so we had to watch this instead. To be honest, I don't know which would have been the better movie.
- DirectorAng LeeStarsChow Yun-FatMichelle YeohZiyi ZhangA young Chinese warrior steals a sword from a famed swordsman and then escapes into a world of romantic adventure with a mysterious man in the frontier of the nation.
- DirectorRidley ScottStarsAnthony HopkinsJulianne MooreGary OldmanLiving in exile, Dr. Hannibal Lecter tries to reconnect with now disgraced F.B.I. Agent Clarice Starling, and finds himself a target for revenge from a powerful victim.Freaked out an old couple for laughing out loud when Hannibal opens up the skulls and lets him eat his own brain. I couldn't help it, it looked hilariously absurd. If it was suppose to be horrific, it missed it's mark.
- DirectorStephen SommersStarsBrendan FraserRachel WeiszJohn HannahThe mummified body of Imhotep is shipped to a museum in London, where he once again wakes and begins his campaign of rage and terror.Watched in Stockholm at a school trip. Sat front row, never a good place on a really big screen.
- DirectorTim BurtonStarsMark WahlbergHelena Bonham CarterTim RothIn 2029, an Air Force astronaut crash-lands on a mysterious planet where evolved, talking apes dominate a race of primitive humans.
- DirectorPeter JacksonStarsElijah WoodIan McKellenOrlando BloomA meek Hobbit from the Shire and eight companions set out on a journey to destroy the powerful One Ring and save Middle-earth from the Dark Lord Sauron.The funny thing is that I probably would have never gone to this movie if my friend didn't want to see it. I had no idea what LOTR was at that time and I was not a fantasy fan. Boy am I glad he dragged me to it. An epic and one of the defining cinema movies of "my generation".
- DirectorPaul W.S. AndersonStarsMilla JovovichMichelle RodriguezRyan McCluskeyA special military unit fights a powerful, out-of-control supercomputer and hundreds of scientists who have mutated into flesh-eating creatures after a laboratory accident.
- DirectorGeorge LucasStarsHayden ChristensenNatalie PortmanEwan McGregorTen years after initially meeting, Anakin Skywalker shares a forbidden romance with Padmé Amidala, while Obi-Wan Kenobi discovers a secret clone army crafted for the Jedi.I was never a huge Star Wars fan and this the first SW movie I saw in the cinema didn't make me a bigger fan.
- DirectorSam RaimiStarsTobey MaguireKirsten DunstWillem DafoeAfter being bitten by a genetically-modified spider, a shy teenager gains spider-like abilities that he uses to fight injustice as a masked superhero and face a vengeful enemy.
- DirectorPeter JacksonStarsElijah WoodIan McKellenViggo MortensenWhile Frodo and Sam edge closer to Mordor with the help of the shifty Gollum, the divided fellowship makes a stand against Sauron's new ally, Saruman, and his hordes of Isengard.The first time ever I had to walk out of a screening to go to the bathroom (of course we sat in the middle of a packed saloon and I had to disturb everybody to get out).
The reason besides that it's a long movie? We rented and saw the first movie again before we went to see this and I drank 2 liters of Cola during that movie. BAD idea. - DirectorBryan SingerStarsPatrick StewartHugh JackmanHalle BerryWhen anti-mutant Colonel William Stryker kidnaps Professor X and attacks his school, the X-Men must ally with their archenemy Magneto to stop him.
- DirectorLana WachowskiLilly WachowskiStarsKeanu ReevesLaurence FishburneCarrie-Anne MossFreedom fighters Neo, Trinity and Morpheus continue to lead the revolt against the Machine Army, unleashing their arsenal of extraordinary skills and weaponry against the systematic forces of repression and exploitation.I think this was the Matrix movie with the warnings of loud sounds that could damage your hearing. My friend brought earplugs to be safe.
- DirectorMcGStarsDrew BarrymoreLucy LiuCameron DiazThe Angels investigate a series of murders which occur after the theft of a witness protection profile database.
- DirectorJonathan MostowStarsArnold SchwarzeneggerNick StahlKristanna LokenA machine from a post-apocalyptic future travels back in time to protect a man and a woman from an advanced robotic assassin to ensure they both survive a nuclear attack.The curse of the full bladder returns! Though I refused to leave the screening. I don't think I've ever seen a movie that I wanted to end this badly.
- DirectorLana WachowskiLilly WachowskiStarsKeanu ReevesLaurence FishburneCarrie-Anne MossThe human city of Zion defends itself against the massive invasion of the machines as Neo fights to end the war at another front while also opposing the rogue Agent Smith.In one of the Matrix movies one of the workers that cleaned the room between screenings asked us if they movie was good but told us not to spoil it as she was going to see it later.
Either we lied cause she was a cute girl or didn't know better at that moment, cause it was rather bad which we didn't say. - DirectorJoe DanteEric GoldbergStarsBrendan FraserJenna ElfmanSteve MartinThe Looney Tunes search for a man's missing father and the mythical Blue Monkey diamond.The first movie I saw with my younger brother. The movie was okay I guess, but this made my brothers day to bring him along for a movie, which was awesome.
- DirectorPeter JacksonStarsElijah WoodViggo MortensenIan McKellenGandalf and Aragorn lead the World of Men against Sauron's army to draw his gaze from Frodo and Sam as they approach Mount Doom with the One Ring.
- DirectorRoland EmmerichStarsDennis QuaidJake GyllenhaalEmmy RossumJack Hall, paleoclimatologist, must make a daring trek from Washington, D.C. to New York City to reach his son, trapped in the cross-hairs of a sudden international storm which plunges the planet into a new Ice Age.This might have been more effective with a winter release and not a summer one. A bad Swedish snowy winter and you might actually believe it's the end of the world.
- DirectorSam RaimiStarsTobey MaguireKirsten DunstAlfred MolinaPeter Parker is beset with troubles in his failing personal life as he battles a former brilliant scientist named Otto Octavius.
- DirectorAlexander WittStarsMilla JovovichSienna GuilloryEric MabiusAlice wakes up in the Raccoon City hospital after the area has been overrun by zombies, and must now make it out of the city before a nuclear bomb is dropped.The best and also worst crowd watching this. A (obviously slow minded) restaurant employee from my school sat just a few seats besides me and had to comment loudly EVERYTHING that happened during the movie. He was at times much more entertaining than the movie itself.
- DirectorPaul W.S. AndersonStarsSanaa LathanLance HenriksenRaoul BovaDuring an archaeological expedition on Bouvetøya Island in Antarctica, a team of archaeologists and other scientists find themselves caught up in a battle between the two legends. Soon, the team realize that only one species can win.
- DirectorOliver StoneStarsColin FarrellAnthony HopkinsRosario DawsonAlexander, the King of Macedonia and one of the greatest army leaders in the history of warfare, conquers much of the known world.The only lasting impression was Rosario Dawsons tits.
- DirectorSteven SoderberghStarsGeorge ClooneyBrad PittJulia RobertsDaniel Ocean recruits one more team member so he can pull off three major European heists in this sequel to Ocean's Eleven (2001).One of the only memories I have of this movie was the Julia Roberts character pretending she is Julia Roberts to gain access to the museum.
- DirectorJoel SchumacherStarsGerard ButlerEmmy RossumPatrick WilsonA young soprano becomes the obsession of a disfigured and murderous musical genius who lives beneath the Paris Opéra House.Another movie I would have never watched if it weren't for my friend wanting to see it. I don't regret it, really enjoyable movie with Emmy Rossum as pleasant eye candy. Remember overhearing another viewer after the movie complaining she couldn't sing. Who cares when she looked that lovely?
- DirectorJay RoachStarsBen StillerRobert De NiroBlythe DannerAll hell breaks loose when the Byrnes family meets the Focker family for the first time.
- DirectorKjell-Åke AnderssonStarsKrister HenrikssonJohanna SällströmOla RapaceTracking a sadistic killer, detective Kurt Wallander follows a string of incidents -- attacks on domestic animals, ritualistic murders of humans -- with help from his daughter, Linda, a new member of the Ystad police force.
- DirectorGeorge LucasStarsHayden ChristensenNatalie PortmanEwan McGregorThree years into the Clone Wars, Obi-Wan Kenobi pursues a new threat, while Anakin Skywalker is lured by Chancellor Palpatine into a sinister plot to rule the galaxy.
- DirectorSteven SpielbergStarsTom CruiseDakota FanningTim RobbinsAn alien invasion threatens the future of humanity. The catastrophic nightmare is depicted through the eyes of one American family fighting for survival.
- DirectorChristopher NolanStarsChristian BaleMichael CaineKen WatanabeAfter witnessing his parents' death, Bruce learns the art of fighting to confront injustice. When he returns to Gotham as Batman, he must stop a secret society that intends to destroy the city.The first and only time (thus far) that I've fallen asleep during a movie in the cinema. Missed most of the end fight thanks to that. To clarify, I love Batman and this movie, I was just incredibly tired and it's so easy to fall asleep in the dark.
- DirectorSteven SpielbergStarsEric BanaDaniel CraigMarie-Josée CrozeAfter the Black September capture and massacre of Israeli athletes at the 1972 Olympics, five men are chosen to eliminate the people responsible for that fateful day.
- DirectorMåns MårlindBjörn SteinStarsEric EricsonEva RöseJonas KarlssonA shiftless loner finds that he suddenly has something worth living for, as he tries to protect the enigmatic love of his life from the men who want to do her harm.I don't really know how we ended up watching this, must have been an interesting trailer or something like that. Because generally we watch very few Swedish movies on the big screen (this was just the 3rd Swedish movie I had seen in the cinema by this point).
In the end, didn't regret it. Was an odd but entertaining movie. - DirectorDean ParisotStarsJim CarreyTéa LeoniAlec BaldwinWhen an affluent couple lose all their money following a series of blunders, they turn to a life of crime to make ends meet.I remember that me and my friend were among the only ones who laughed at the last Enron punchline joke in the room.
- DirectorJames McTeigueStarsHugo WeavingNatalie PortmanRupert GravesIn a future British dystopian society, a shadowy freedom fighter, known only by the alias of "V", plots to overthrow the tyrannical government - with the help of a young woman.
- DirectorGore VerbinskiStarsJohnny DeppOrlando BloomKeira KnightleyJack Sparrow races to recover the heart of Davy Jones to avoid enslaving his soul to Jones' service, as other friends and foes seek the heart for their own agenda as well.Remember that I didn't go to the first one with my friends as a pirate movie didn't really sound appealing. When I saw it later I regret it highly and went gladly for the second one, and the third and the forth. Will I go to the fifth?
- DirectorTony ScottStarsDenzel WashingtonPaula PattonJim CaviezelAfter a ferry is bombed in New Orleans, an A.T.F. agent joins a unique investigation using experimental surveillance technology to find the bomber, but soon finds himself becoming obsessed with one of the victims.
- DirectorMartin CampbellStarsDaniel CraigEva GreenJudi DenchAfter earning 00 status and a licence to kill, secret agent James Bond sets out on his first mission as 007. Bond must defeat a private banker funding terrorists in a high-stakes game of poker at Casino Royale, Montenegro.The first Bond movie in the cinema since my first in '97. Remember enjoying the "working class" hands-on approach of Daniel Craig's Bond compared to earlier versions of Bond.
- DirectorMartin ScorseseStarsLeonardo DiCaprioMatt DamonJack NicholsonAn undercover cop and a mole in the police attempt to identify each other while infiltrating an Irish gang in South Boston.It's funny how some movies really makes an impression on you while other people watch the same movie and it's forgettable. This for me is among the top 5 movies seen on the big screen. It was so much fun with great characters, performances and music. While I noticed a few years later when discussing this movie with the friend I saw it with, he had no recollection of the movie at all.
- DirectorGore VerbinskiStarsJohnny DeppOrlando BloomKeira KnightleyCaptain Barbossa, Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann must sail off the edge of the map, navigate treachery and betrayal, find Jack Sparrow, and make their final alliances for one last decisive battle.
- DirectorMichael BayStarsShia LaBeoufMegan FoxJosh DuhamelAn ancient struggle between two Cybertronian races, the heroic Autobots and the evil Decepticons, comes to Earth, with a clue to the ultimate power held by a teenager.
- DirectorDavid SilvermanStarsDan CastellanetaJulie KavnerNancy CartwrightAfter Homer pollutes the town's water supply, Springfield is encased in a gigantic dome by the EPA and the Simpsons are declared fugitives.I remember having a great time watching this. Among the top movies seen in the cinema when it came to having fun and laughing.
- DirectorRobert ZemeckisStarsRay WinstoneCrispin GloverAngelina JolieThe warrior Beowulf must fight and defeat the monster Grendel, who is terrorizing Denmark, then Grendel's Mother, who begins killing out of revenge.
- DirectorPeter BergStarsWill SmithCharlize TheronJason BatemanHancock is a superhero whose ill-considered behavior regularly causes damage in the millions. He changes when the person he saves helps him improve his public image.
- DirectorChristopher NolanStarsChristian BaleHeath LedgerAaron EckhartWhen the menace known as the Joker wreaks havoc and chaos on the people of Gotham, Batman must accept one of the greatest psychological and physical tests of his ability to fight injustice.The first movie I ever saw twice at the cinema. To say that I love this movie is an understatement. The fact that I wrote my final college thesis paper about this movie kind of says it all. This is and will probably be my favourite movie I've ever seen on the big screen. I can't see anything being the "perfect storm" that this movie is for me on so many levels.
- DirectorChris CarterStarsDavid DuchovnyGillian AndersonBilly ConnollyMulder and Scully are called back to duty by the FBI when a former priest claims to be receiving psychic visions pertaining to a kidnapped agent.Remember thinking this was bittersweet. Almost 10 years to the day I saw the first one in a cinema in London, I saw this with high hopes of nostalgia. And sure, it was great to see Scully & Mulder back again, but the story sure felt like a let down. It felt almost like a reunion tour that nobody really wanted to do but that they felt they had to to cash in. I feel this was reflected in the script, wasn't necessarily bad. I just think it was a bit low key and didn't do the job for the X-Files fans wanting a fix.
- DirectorJohn MooreStarsMark WahlbergMila KunisBeau BridgesComing together to solve a series of murders in New York City are a police detective and an assassin, who will be hunted by the police, the mob, and a ruthless corporation.
- DirectorMarc ForsterStarsDaniel CraigOlga KurylenkoMathieu AmalricJames Bond descends into mystery as he tries to stop a mysterious organisation from eliminating a country's most valuable resource.Another front row seat. This was really a blur thanks to that and the action scenes were really a blur sitting that close. Though sitting front row had it's perks with Gemma Arterton as Strawberry Fields.
- DirectorDarren AronofskyStarsMickey RourkeMarisa TomeiEvan Rachel WoodA faded professional wrestler must retire, but finds his quest for a new life outside the ring a dispiriting struggle.Great movie about a subject I hold dear. To bad that this was one of the few movies that made me sick. I'm a bit hypochondriac and some aspects are worse than others, especially the heart. So when the heart attack comes in the end of the movie I felt really sick in the cinema.
- DirectorMcGStarsChristian BaleSam WorthingtonAnton YelchinIn 2018, a mysterious new weapon in the war against the machines, half-human and half-machine, comes to John Connor on the eve of a resistance attack on Skynet. But whose side is he on, and can he be trusted?
- DirectorMichael BayStarsShia LaBeoufMegan FoxJosh DuhamelSam Witwicky leaves the Autobots behind for a normal life. But when his mind is filled with cryptic symbols, the Decepticons target him and he is dragged back into the Transformers' war.In a way it's unfair to say this is the worst movie I've seen in the cinema. As it's fairly entertaining if you just shut of your brain and don't question the stupidity and flaws that Michael Bay gives us and what the script writers gave us in the form of the story.
But I just can't do that. - DirectorTony ScottStarsDenzel WashingtonJohn TravoltaLuis GuzmánArmed men hijack a New York City subway train, holding the passengers hostage in return for a ransom, and turning an ordinary day's work for dispatcher Walter Garber into a face-off with the mastermind behind the crime.Love the original, so I had to watch this. Was entertaining but nowhere near the original.
- DirectorQuentin TarantinoStarsBrad PittDiane KrugerEli RothIn Nazi-occupied France during World War II, a plan to assassinate Nazi leaders by a group of Jewish U.S. soldiers coincides with a theatre owner's vengeful plans for the same.Like I told my friend after watching this. "We love killing Nazis in Video Games. This was the movie version of killing Nazis in Video Games". Just awesome with so many entertaining characters.
- DirectorMartin ScorseseStarsLeonardo DiCaprioEmily MortimerMark RuffaloTeddy Daniels and Chuck Aule, two US marshals, are sent to an asylum on a remote island in order to investigate the disappearance of a patient, where Teddy uncovers a shocking truth about the place.I had read the book before watching the movie which IMO is never a good idea as it always make you annoyed with aspects of the adaptation as it never is as you have imagined it and beyond that, often they have to eliminate parts of the story.
Regardless, I still enjoyed the movie and DiCaprio makes a solid performance. Though this movie had strange/bad green screen effects.
At this moment it's ranked #240 of all-time on IMDB. That feels a bit overrated, but on the other hand. I would probably say it's just right or not enough if I hadn't read the book first. - DirectorLouis LeterrierStarsSam WorthingtonLiam NeesonRalph FiennesPerseus, a demigod and the son of Zeus, battles the minions of Hades and the Underworld in order to stop them from conquering Olympus and Earth.A movie I enjoyed a bit more than I had any right to. It's far from great and some would say not even good. But I found it enjoyable.
- DirectorChristopher NolanStarsLeonardo DiCaprioJoseph Gordon-LevittElliot PageA thief who steals corporate secrets through the use of dream-sharing technology is given the inverse task of planting an idea into the mind of a C.E.O., but his tragic past may doom the project and his team to disaster.Okey, lets get it in the open. I'm a Nolan fanboy. I love anything he does and everything he does seems to turn to gold (well except insomnia but my excuse for that is that he didn't write it).
So it's no big secret that I loved Inception. And this had the honour of being the second movie I've seen twice in the cinema (both Nolan!).
If I was not such a big Batman fan, this would easily have been the best movie I've seen on the big screen.
This movie also holds the record for fastest walk out I've experienced as a middle aged couple walked out from the movie and never returned after only about 30 minutes in if even that. - DirectorEthan CoenJoel CoenStarsJeff BridgesMatt DamonHailee SteinfeldA stubborn teenager enlists the help of a tough U.S. Marshal to track down her father's murderer.
- DirectorPontus HjorthénMartin JönssonStarsAnders BernmarStefano BorgonovoDan CorneliussonThey were ordinary guys who worked during the day and trained on their spare time. Then a Värmlander came from Torsby and became their coach. They set out for Europe and defeated the wealthy professional clubs.
- DirectorRob MarshallStarsJohnny DeppPenélope CruzIan McShaneJack Sparrow and Barbossa embark on a quest to find the elusive fountain of youth, only to discover that Blackbeard and his daughter are after it too.
- DirectorGuy RitchieStarsRobert Downey Jr.Jude LawJared HarrisDetective Sherlock Holmes is on the trail of criminal mastermind Professor Moriarty, who is carrying out a string of random crimes across Europe.
- DirectorTimo VuorensolaStarsJulia DietzeChristopher KirbyGötz OttoThe Nazis set up a secret base on the dark side of the moon in 1945 where they hide out and plan to return to power in 2018.I would say a good part of the theatre audience got the Untergang joke. But not many did get the Wing Commander one.
A great time was had and might just be a top 5 movie in a cinema. - DirectorRidley ScottStarsNoomi RapaceLogan Marshall-GreenMichael FassbenderFollowing clues to the origin of mankind, a team finds a structure on a distant moon, but they soon realize they are not alone.
- DirectorChristopher NolanStarsChristian BaleTom HardyAnne HathawayEight years after the Joker's reign of chaos, Batman is coerced out of exile with the assistance of the mysterious Selina Kyle in order to defend Gotham City from the vicious guerrilla terrorist Bane.
- DirectorSimon WestStarsSylvester StalloneLiam HemsworthRandy CoutureMr. Church reunites the Expendables for what should be an easy paycheck, but when one of their men is murdered on the job, their quest for revenge puts them deep in enemy territory and up against an unexpected threat.
- DirectorSteven SpielbergStarsDaniel Day-LewisSally FieldDavid StrathairnAs the Civil War rages on, U.S President Abraham Lincoln struggles with continuing carnage on the battlefield as he fights with many inside his own cabinet on his decision to emancipate the slaves.
- DirectorTodd PhillipsStarsBradley CooperZach GalifianakisEd HelmsWhen one of their own is kidnapped by an angry gangster, the Wolf Pack must track down Mr. Chow, who has escaped from prison and is on the run.
- DirectorZack SnyderStarsHenry CavillAmy AdamsMichael ShannonAn alien child is evacuated from his dying world and sent to Earth to live among humans. His peace is threatened when other survivors of his home planet invade Earth.
- DirectorMartin ScorseseStarsLeonardo DiCaprioJonah HillMargot RobbieBased on the true story of Jordan Belfort, from his rise to a wealthy stock-broker living the high life to his fall involving crime, corruption and the federal government.
- DirectorMatt ReevesStarsGary OldmanKeri RussellAndy SerkisThe fragile peace between apes and humans is threatened as mistrust and betrayal threaten to plunge both tribes into a war for dominance over the Earth.
- DirectorJames GunnStarsChris PrattVin DieselBradley CooperA group of intergalactic criminals must pull together to stop a fanatical warrior with plans to purge the universe.
