My Ain Folk (1973)

My Movie Rating:

10 / 10

My Childhood (1972)

My Movie Rating:

10 / 10

My Family and Other Animals (2005)

Perhaps not quite as good as the 1987 TV miniseries, but a superb film realisation nonetheless. One pleasing thing about this movie is that Gerald (Eugene Simon) goes practically feral by the end - wearing just a pair of shorts and covered in a layer of dirt.

My Movie Rating:

8 / 10

My Uncle Silas (2000-2003)

A pleasant enough series, lightweight and fluffy; though, in all honesty, Joe Prospero as Edward doesn't really have a lot to do except ask questions of Albert Finney which display his (Edward's) naivete, for humorous effect.

My Movie Rating:

6 / 10

My Way Home (1978)

My Movie Rating:

10 / 10

The Navigator: A Medieval Odyssey (1988)

Every time I've watched this film, I've liked it more.

My Movie Rating:

10 / 10

Neohlížej se, jde za námi kùn (1981)

Most enjoyable.

My Movie Rating:

8 / 10

The New Adventures of Pinocchio (1999)

I am inclined to agree with Cinefan (below). (The similarities to 1996's "The Adventures of Pinocchio" with Jonathan Taylor Thomas are due to its being conceived as a sequel to that movie.) Also, am I the only person to find the fish-humans VERY, VERY DISTURBING?

My Movie Rating:

5 / 10

Nicholas Nickleby (2002)

Actually, having watched it a second time (on blu-ray this time) my estimation of this film has gone up. It is a gorgeously colourful and good-looking production, Charlie Hunnam certainly has the wide-eyed innocence necessary to his character, and Jamie Bell makes a charming Smike. Most enjoyable.

My Movie Rating:

8 / 10

Nimmermeer (2006)

If I learnt the art of film-making, and laboured for a thousand years, I would still never be able to create something with such crystalline gorgeousness as this magnificent, sombre, windswept film.

My Movie Rating:

9 / 10

Nine Meals from Chaos (2018)

My Movie Rating:

Nocturnes (2006)

A gem of a film.

Nous, les enfants du XXème siècle (1994)

O (2006)

Completely breathtaking.

My Movie Rating:

10 / 10

Obecná skola (1991)

Unmissable, nostalgic, classic Czech comedy.

My Movie Rating:

10 / 10

The Odd Life of Timothy Green (2012)

Well, all that one can say is that the boy (Cameron CJ Adams) is great - but the movie is a pile of syrupy, cloying, sentimental toss, an overdose of sugar that leaves you feeling slightly sick. Never mind. Watch it for CJ, and mourn the fact that he never got to read a decent script.

My Movie Rating:

4 / 10

Oddballs (1984)

Surprisingly good! A fun movie from a more relaxed era, before Political Correctness and modern Puritanism. Recommended!

My Movie Rating:

8 / 10

Of Time and the City (2008)

A gorgeous elegy, mixing bitter criticism (particularly of the Church, but also of more modern trends) and warm nostalgia, a meditation on the corrosive nature of time that has something of the mood of T. S. Eliot's 'Four Quartets' (quoted in the film). Utterly unique. A work of genius.

My Movie Rating:

10 / 10

Oliver Twist (1933)

My Movie Rating:

1 / 10

Oliver Twist (2005)

Superb adaptation. Ben Kingsley should have got an Oscar for his Fagin.

My Movie Rating:

9 / 10
