E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial

• 1982
• Adventure
• Drama
• Family
• Fantasy
• Sci-fi

This iconic classic started a strand of "little boys and their heart-warming alien stories," which lasted throughout the 80's. Of course, none of them compared to E.T.

Eagle vs Shark

• 2007
• Comedy
• Romance

I can't began to tell you how much I hate this movie and I bet there are people out there ready to send me hate mail saying, "You just don't get it!" What's not to get?

The last time I checked, comedy wasn't suppose to have a learning curve.

Earth Girls Are Easy

• 1988
• Comedy
• Music
• Romance
• Sci-fi

A child should not see this movie, let alone more than once. I saw this movie about 3 times as a kid. It was just weird. There are three colorful, half-naked, and hairy aliens making out with girls. It's like the monstrous and pornographic version of The Carebears.

Eastern Promises

• 2007
• Crime
• Drama
• Mystery
• Thriller

This movie was received well but I didn't like it as much. It's still a great movie but Viggo Mortensen's East European accent was bothersome and some of the scenes were too unbelievable, like the scene where they initiate Viggo into a higher officer of the mob.

Easy A

• 2010
• Comedy
• Romance

This is a surprisingly funny romcom. You can expect all the shenanigans that come with a high school dramas, like losing your virginity, being an outcast, and gossiping. But, somehow, this movie just does it better.

Ed Gein

• 2000
• Biography
• Crime
• Drama

A boring, uneventful, badly-performed, low-budget film about a serial killer who decorates his house with the skin of his victims.

Ed Wood

• 1994
• Biography
• Comedy
• Drama

This was actually a very delightful movie. It's about one of the worst directors in Hollywood, ever. It's ironic to make a great movie out of such a talentless figure (Ed Wood).

The Edge

• Drama
• Action
• Adventure
• Thriller

Alec Baldwin and Anthony Hopkins don't like each other. Their plane crashes into the snowy middle of nowhere and they must find help. As they are trudging through the wilderness and arguing, secrets unfold and...oh fuck! It's a bear!

Edge of Darkness

• 2010
• Crime
• Drama
• Thriller

Mel Gibson goes on a rampage after his daughter is gunned down in front of his porch. Moderate action-thriller.

An Education

• 2009
• Drama

This girl, Carey Mulligan, does a phenomenal job in this movie. What made me even more bias towards her is that she looks a lot like my British ex-girlfriend; with the dimples and everything!

If you're reading this Katie, I think we should get back together so call me. I'm really sorry for throwing up on your clean laundry when I came home drunk.

Edward Scissorhands

• 1990
• Comedy
• Drama
• Fantasy
• Romance

I am big fan of the old 1920's American lifestyle as well as creepy creatures dwelling in creepy castles. Tim Burton just put two of my favorite things together – stellar!

Election

• 1999
• Comedy
• Drama
• Romance

This is not a good date movie. Close towards the end, my date and I ended up walking out of this one.

Electric Daisy Carnival Experience

• 2011
• Documentary

If you want to introduce somebody to electronic dance music, this is not the documentary to show them.

Will.i.am. You. Are. A. Moron.

Elf

• 2003
• Comedy
• Family
• Fantasy

This was a fun movie for kids. Too bad it wasn't that fun for adults.

The Emperor's New Groove

• 2000
• Animation
• Adventure
• Comedy
• Family
• Fantasy

The downhill of Disney. So much sass and attitude. These movies should go straight to DVD.

Empire of the Sun

• 1987
• Drama
• War

Guess who the little boy is? It's Christian Bale and he is in one of the greatest movies directed by Steven Spielberg. This is a touching film about a boy that is separated from his parents during the Japanese war and struggles to survive.

Empire Records

• 1995
• Comedy
• Music
• Drama

A bunch of indie store employees try to stop the acquisition of a large corporation. In the process, they learn about each other. Great, how fun. I bet their conversations consists of who liked what band before that band became mainstream.

Employee of the Month

• 2004
• Comedy
• Drama

This started out really good and the closer it got to the end, the worst it became. One twist after the other, after the other, and so on. There were so many twist that you lose whatever respect you had for the movie.

Encino Man

• 1992
• Comedy
• Fantasy

I thought Brendan Fraser was great in this because he doesn't say anything. He just grunts when he's hungry or sees boobs. I know you all loved this movie as a kid. I did.

The End of America

• 2008
• Documentary

This documentary is based off of Naomi Wolf's novel but, really, it's more about Wolf pimping out her novel and how this modern America is becoming identical to Nazi Germany. Shut up, Naomi.

End of Days

• 1999
• Action
• Fantasy
• Horror
• Mystery
• Thriller

Arnold fights Satan. If he somehow beats up Jesus in his whole movie career, then he would have killed everyone in the universe.

End of Watch

• 2012
• Crime
• Drama
• Thriller

Many bro-cop movies indirectly spoil the ending before you are given a chance to care about the characters. End of Watch builds the camaraderie on a level that you can’t help, but to want to be a part of; guy or gal. A superb movie for those seeking raw action with depth.

Enemy at the Gates

• 2001
• Drama
• History
• Thriller
• War

This is a great war movie seen through the scope of the snipers.

Enemy Mine

• 1985
• Sci-fi
• Drama

This was pretty cool for me when I was a kid. It wasn't about outlandish aliens shooting lasers and driving spaceships. It was about struggling to get along with them.

Enemy of the State

• 1998
• Action
• Drama
• Thriller

Not mine. This is a review from Netflix's user "Torrzilla" verbatim.
Now this is the story about how, Will's life got flipped, turned upside down. It takes 132 minutes, so just sit right there. I'll tell you about he became the pawn of some spy warfare. In District of Columbia, born and raised, in the courthouse is where spent most of his days. Pleadin' out, lawin', objectin' all cool and chasin' some mob boss outside of school. When a couple of agents were up to no good, started killin' congressmen in the neighborhood. He got one little tape and NSA got scared, and said "You've murdered your ex girlfriend in cold blood, so there!" Will, he whistled for a contact and when he came near, the license name said 'Brill', who had a security fear. If anything he could say that this cat was rare, but then they got captured which led to despair. They pulled up to the mob house around seven or eight, and Will yelled to the NSA "Yo, I'm your negotiator!" There was some killing, he was luckily spared, to reclaim his life what a breath of fresh air.

Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room

• 2005
• Documentary

A painful documentary about one of the biggest corporate crimes in history.

Enter the Void

• 2009
• Drama
• Thriller

This is one incredibly trippy journey about a brother and sister losing their parents in a car accident. They both must cope and lean on one another for love and support. Things began to go wrong when the brother goes deeper into slanging drugs.

The neon presentation is awesome and the spinning camera will make you drunk with irritation. After attacking your senses, you'll be thrown into a world of hard drugs, shady dealings, deceit, and dark strip clubs. Many will talk about Enter the Void with total disgust or wild praise. I am warning you now, if you don't know about this director, Gasper Noe, I strongly suggest that you stay very far away from this film. This isn't one of those casual films to "check out", it demands a lot from its viewers.

Entrapment

• 1999
• Crime
• Romance
• Thriller

Nobody remembers this movie but we all remember that scene where the very hot Catherine Zeta-Jones slithers under those security lasers.

Equilibrium

• 2002
• Action
• Sci-fi
• Thriller

This is an amazing Sci-fi movie that I think other non-Sci-fi watchers could enjoy. In this future, emotions are outlawed and there are Clerics (think The Think Police) that punish those who break these laws. One of the Clerics begins to feel and, well, you should find out the rest. This is a classic film that could easily rival The Matrix.

Eraser

• 1996
• Action
• Drama
• Mystery
• Thriller

All I remember is a really badass gun in this movie. A rail gun? I think that's it, it's a rail gun.

Eraserhead

• 1977
• Drama
• Fantasy
• Horror
• Sci-fi

One of David Lynch's earlier films. The man is weird, very weird, and I like him.

Erin Brockovich

• 2000
• Biography
• Drama
• Romance

Good movie about a real life legal assistant that single-handedly brings down an entire California power company whom pollutes a city's water supply.

Escape from L.A.

• Thriller

A bunch of vatos in a post-apocalyptic South Central L.A. try to kill Snake when he makes his way their to find some toy.

The Escapist

• 2008
• Crime
• Drama
• Thriller

The tired genre of prison breaks shows its face again in this psychological and bitter sweet film. There are a lot of good things I can say about it and there are things not even worth mentioning. By the end, I don't think I would give this a strong recommendation to anyone. If you saw it, then neat. If you didn't, well, you're not missing out either.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

• 2004
• Drama
• Romance

It's got a creepy setting, a really awesome (and trippy) story, along with a concept that I'm sure has crossed everyone's mind. Really good movie and highly recommended for couple's movie night.

Evangelion: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone

• 2007
• Action
• Animation
• Sci-fi

One of the most unique Japanese animated series out there, not to mention the very bizarre but captivating art style. This story has a lot more substance and depth than your average Anime. But, it's really godamn weird, too.

Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance

• 2009
• Action
• Animation
• Drama

If you like Japanime, then chances are you’ll most certainly know about this. As for people that are unaware, try out Evangelion 1.1 and see if it’s your cup of tea. It has all the typical elements that you would expect from a Japanime, albeit cheesy. However, there’s something fascinating about it that I can’t put my finger my on. Maybe you can.

Event Horizon

• 1997
• Adventure
• Sci-fi
• Horror
• Mystery
• Thriller

This is one of those movies that is gross for the sake of being gross. Satanic possession takes control of a missing spaceship's crew and they all go apeshit doing horrible things to each other.

Ever After

• 1998
• Romance
• Comedy
• Drama
• Fantasy

This is a really fresh remake of the classic Cinderella story. Yes, I enjoyed it. So what.

Everybody's Fine

• 2009
• Drama

This really isn't a feel-good, family movie. There's a lot more drama with a deeper tone; definitely good for a rental.

Everything Must Go

• 2011
• Comedy
• Drama

If I was Will, it would be more like, "Everything Must Blow."

Evidence

• 2011
• Horror

Not a home run horror but the last 30 minutes of this film is bananas!

Evil

• 2003
• Drama

This is a great drama from Sweden about a new student in a private school where he faces the vileness of the senior students.

Excalibur

• 1981
• Adventure
• Drama
• Fantasy

This was a great rendition of the age-old story of King Arthur and the sword, Excalibur. However, this version was weird and dark. Let's not forget Merlin's blinged-out headpiece throughout the entire movie, either.

Exit Through the Gift Shop

• 2010
• Documentary
• Comedy

Oh Banksy, you prankster, you! It's not certain if this film is a prank by Banksy himself but with all speculations aside, I really enjoyed this and I think most people will too. It's a solid documentary with a heavy twist.

The Exorcist

• 1973
• Drama
• Horror
• Thriller

This not only sparked the new age of horror when it was released but it also scared everyone half to death. The Exorcist is a horror icon.

The Expendables

• 2010
• Action
• Adventure
• Thriller

Thee ultimate action movie! And it's just OK.

The Expendables 2

• 2012
• Action
• Adventure
• Thriller

I'd like a bazooka with a side of macho cheese.

The Experiment

• 2001
• Drama
• Thriller

In 1971, the "Stanford Prison Experiment" was conducted, which is a fake prison that celled normal civilians and authorities. The purpose of the experiment was to see how people would interact with each other. This movie is based off of that and it's done well.

Extract

• 2009
• Comedy

I'm a big fan of Mike Judge movies but this one wasn't as enjoyable as his other films. Don't expect Office Space with this. It is a good comedy but not as funny as I had anticipated it to be.

Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close

• 2011
• Drama

Extremely shi...no, that's too easy.
This is an overly sappy movie that will emotionally bully you, until you give into its heart-felt manipulation. The believers will call you a heartless monster if you mock this film. It's the producers of this film that are monsters for turning the 9/11 tragedy into this insulting and irritating piece of fiction.

The Eye

• 2008
• Drama
• Horror
• Thriller

Another Japanese, horror, knock-off. Hollywood has a long-running, string of crappy horror movies so now they're reverting to Japanese films and still failing.

Eye for an Eye

• 1996
• Crime
• Drama
• Thriller

After her daughter is murdered, sweet-ol' Sally Field learns how to use a gun and defends herself against her daughter's assailant. A straight-forward thriller.

Eyes Wide Shut

• 1999
• Drama
• Mystery
• Thriller

I will be honest that I did not totally enjoy this story but Stanley Kubrick still delivers a great movie. I love his vision and how he sets up the atmosphere for every movie he does, this one especially. Kubrick died after this movie was launched with mixed reviews. One of the more stupid reviews went something along the lines of, "This movie is about the negative effects of marijuana on a couple's marriage." Too bad this was his last movie.
