About Must-See Movies




 

What’s so unique about Must-See Movies?

What’s so unique about Must-See Movies? Unlike other Film Guides, Must-See Movies is always online and up-to-date, with new movies appearing on their day of UK release or even earlier. It offers an analysis and appreciation of every significant film, right back to 1902.
I have been a movie critic for over 20 years, and I preface each film with my own review. But I also present the broad spectrum of opinion about each film – pro, mixed and anti – with hundreds of thousands of extracts from other leading critics, past and present.
They represent a digest of the best, worst, wittiest, funniest and most perceptive reviews ever written, not only in America and Britain, but all over the world.
This information represents the fullest, most analytical and easily accessible collection of reviews in the world, either on paper or on the Internet.
Another revolutionary feature is that Must-See Movies offers, through a constantly updated average of the star ratings given by the leading film critics and guides an up-to-the-minute statistical analysis of every film’s current critical standing.
You can search and sort movies according to various combinations of criteria – actor, director, writer, genre, year, nationality, my rating out of 10, or average critical rating out of 10. So you can easily search for and sort any group of movies you’re interested in – say the James Bond films, the thrillers of Alfred Hitchcock, or the worst movies starring Ben Affleck.
Also uniquely, Must-See Movies offers definitive, constantly updated hit parades of the best movies in every genre.
You can look up the funniest bad reviews of all time, movie by movie, in the section called “Death by Raspberry”.
You can look up the most merciless reviews of film stars, directors and writers in the section called “Harsh!”
You can marvel at the world’s worst reviewers in the section called “Pigs Can Fly”.
Happy film-watching!
