King Kong (2005): In general, terrible. The actors are good. Some of the scenes were cut from the original for a reason.; DVD ~~$15~~ $11.25
Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King (2003): Like the others, it is incredibly boring, and too obsessed with visual effects to spend time on actors and plot.; Blu-Ray ~~$19.95~~ $14.95
Lord of the Rings - The Two Towers (2002): Probably the best of the three.; Blu-Ray ~~$19.95~~ $14.95
Lord of the Rings - The Fellowship of the Ring (2001): Boring and indulgent.; DVD ~~$19.95~~ $14.95
Frighteners, The (1996): Very enjoyable, but the plot isn't exactly brilliant. There are still easily enough frights to keep you entertained. Michael J Fox is always fun to watch.
Heavenly Creatures (1994): Easily Jackson best movie, this has a huge emotional impact on the viewer.
Coraline (2009): The story, stop–motion animation and pure creativity make this one of the most–entertaining movies I have seen.; DVD ~~$19.95~~ $14.95
James and the Giant Peach (1997): Similar to Nightmare, but nothing is up to the same standard.
Nightmare Before Christmas, The (1993): Everything is perfect, especially the music, characters and stop–motion.
Sweeney Todd - The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007): The music contrasted with the morbid plot and gore is excellent. I thought all the actors were perfect for the roles, especially Alan Rickman and Sacha Baron Cohen.; DVD ~~$20~~ $15
