Some films are so overrated... Sometimes, even best picture winners are overrated. Especially when you consider who the winner beat to win the best picture Oscar. Dances with Wolves beating Goodfellas, Driving Miss Daisy beating My Left Foot for example. We won't say more to avoid giving too much away, but you see what we're getting at! Sometimes, it's not even down to who they beat, they could be deserving winners due to lack of competition, but just as a whole one could find the film to be ove...

This one goes out too our fan, Younes, find him on Twitter @_ArsenalTimes_ What a great topic this is, the TOP 10 Opening Scenes. In no other artistic medium is the importance of the opening scene so apparent. You need to get an audience fully invested from the get go, or you can crash and burn before the opening credits have even rolled. The films we have picked perfectly exemplify this: these are, in our humble opinion, the best opening scenes ever, the landmarks, the attention grabbers, the "...

This time, we have been asked to cover TOP 10 Film Scores (though of course, we will exclude John Williams having covered him recently). Where to begin...? There is an insane wealth choices to pick for this. Getting just 10 on our individual lists was bloody hard, deciding on what makes the Rushmore, even more so!

One of our fans wrote to us on Twitter and suggested "Hey, why not TOP 10 Movie Presidents?".

Monologues. They stir emotion, they inspire you to go into battle, they move you, they bring a tear to your eye, they make you laugh, they make you reflect. Be it Trainspotting's Choose Life, Braveheart's Freedom, Jaws' Indianapolis, movie monologues are fascinating. From a writing perspective, from a delivery perspective, they are parts of a movie hat standout and usually stay with you long after the credits have rolled. But what are the greatest? What made our individual TOP 10's and the event...

We've gone fully international with this episode bringing you movies from Asia, Latin America, Central Europe and more.

Full disclaimer: we were originally going to release to coincide with the release of A Quiet Place 2, to honour John Krasinski (sort of - yes, we know he doesn't star in that film). As the lockdown continues, we continue to reach for TOP 10 topics that don't necessarily coincide with anything, but hey, that time we live in, and the Movie Mount Rushmore keeps on going! Doom and Gloom aside, this was a phenomenal topic to discuss, and so many great names that started on TV, but who made the Rushmo...

All hail the G.O.A.T, John Williams It really is as simple as that. The man, for over 40 years has constantly put epic score after epic score and has, beyond question, been involved with the biggest films of all time, and his involvement with them has made them such! His ability to encapsulate the entire film into his scores, to score audiences with a Tuba playing E-Flat and G-Minor, to amaze audiences, to make audiences cry, his talent is unparalleled. If it sounds like we are gushing, it's coz...

Never have we lived in such strange times: Onward, Pixar's newest film has absolutely bombed at the box office. Not because it's a bad film (quite the contrary!), but because of the ongoing world wide crisis, people just weren't going to the cinema.. Pixar made the smart choice of pulling it from release and it will be released again the coming months. So to reinforce how powerful Pixar is as a Studio, and also because Disney+ has (finally) launched here in the UK, where you can find all of Pixa...
