Puss in Boots

• 2011
• Animation
• Adventure
• Comedy

I'm not a cat person but this film gave me enough laughs to change a bit of that and the "Oooh" cat definitely helped. This was also successful in avoiding all the things that made the last few Shrek films bad.

Pusher III

• 2005
• Crime
• Thriller
• Drama

The last installment in the hardcore drug trilogy. Now, it finishes with Milo, the drug lord from the first two movies. This one is my least favorite but it is a must-see to complete the whole thing.

Pusher II

• 2004
• Action
• Crime
• Drama
• Thriller

I gotta admit, I don't like the lead role because he is a loser but that's what makes him a good actor. This is the second installment in the Pusher trilogy. These are great!

Pusher

• 1996
• Crime
• Thriller
• Drama

The first installment in this hardcore drug trilogy. I like Pusher II and Pusher III as well but this one is my favorite and probably because of Kim Bodnia. You like crime movies? Give this Danish movie a chance, you'll be blown away by its direction and tragedy.

Push

• 2009
• Action
• Drama
• Sci-fi
• Thriller

...the "off" button.

Puppetmaster

• 1989
• Drama
• Horror
• Sci-fi
• Thriller

Little evil puppets come to life and terrorize everyone. It's a creepy little sadistic, B-horror, movie.

The Puppet Masters

• 1994
• Horror
• Sci-fi
• Thriller

Earth is invaded by little slugs that attach themselves onto your neck and control your body. This is a documentary about politicians.

Puppet Master 5: The Final Chapter

• 1994
• Horror

All the evil puppets come together and battle one big, demonic puppet. I don't see why the puppets didn't befriend a human and have them step on the bigger one. Game over.

The Punisher

• 2004
• Action
• Crime
• Thriller

This movie is punishing.

Puncture

• 2011
• Drama

The real life, court case of safety needles is an important one but not enough to make a drama out of. Chris Evans puts on a good performance and the film tries to honor his character's accomplishments but in the end, it wasn't really worth caring about.

Pulp Fiction

• 1994
• Crime
• Drama

This is Pulp Fiction and if you have no idea what it is then I have no idea what to say to you, except that you're probably stupid.

Public Enemies

• 2009
• Biography
• Crime
• Drama
• History
• Thriller

This isn't a fun shoot-em-up type of movie (if you're expecting that). Instead, it focuses on the relationships and bank robberies of John Dillinger, which can be confusing at times. His men along with other characters come in and out of nowhere and the most meaningful relationship in here was with his gal, which was not focused on enough.

Psycho

• 1960
• Horror
• Thriller

For those that don't believe old horror movies can be scary, watch this and it will change your mind. Psycho is just as suspenseful, sick, and scary, even by today's standard.

Psycho

• 1998
• Horror
• Mystery
• Thriller

A crappy remake of the classic horror by the legendary, Alfred Hitchcock. Vince Vaughn is Norman Bates and sucks at it.

The Protector

• 2005
• Action
• Crime
• Drama
• Thriller

More over-the-top action by Tony Jaa. This guy puts in a lot of work just to beat people up. He can't just poke someone in the eye or kick them in the balls. This guy goes into a full-on, ballet routine before knocking someone out.

The Proposal

• 2009
• Comedy
• Drama
• Romance

This image is way funnier than the movie.

A Prophet

• 2009
• Crime
• Drama

A great movie about a young Arab man who is sent to a French prison where he climbs the ranks to kingpin. It's a lot different from your average mafia movie. First off, the main character wasn't even looking to rank-up, but things turned out that way for him. You'll learn how different the French prisons are and how these criminals operate inside and outside of them. In my opinion, this is the best criminal drama of 2009, so far.

The Prophecy

• 1995
• Horror
• Thriller
• Fantasy
• Mystery

Christopher Walken is a demon bringing forth the Apocalypse. I mean, c'mon, that's enough to watch this.

Prometheus

• 2012
• Action
• Horror
• Sci-fi

People are thinking that this is going to be a direct prequel to Alien. The producers say it’s not completely meant to be but don’t fret because this is absolutely fine as its own stand-alone film. Prometheus is gorgeous right out of the gates, and the escalation of tension is gripping.

The horror aspects are tasteful as there are no cheap scares or unnecessary gore, but don’t dismiss that as tamed either. The story can be deep as many people will be coming up with interesting theories about that universe’s idea of faith, imortality, and the Alien mythos. Yes, there are some loopholes and you can poke holes in the script but not enough for a thumb's down.

Project X

• 2012
• Comedy

It’s shit like this that makes me regret being a movie enthusiast sometimes.

The Professional

• 1994
• Action
• Crime
• Romance
• Thriller

A great action movie about a lone assassin who is forced to look after a little girl after her parents are murdered. He then teaches her to become an assassin herself. Also, Gary Oldman as the villain is the best, I mean, look at him go...

Princess Mononoke

• 1997
• Animation
• Adventure
• Fantasy

Another very creative and beautiful film from Studio Ghibli. I saw this one in the theaters and I was mesmerized. I didn't fully understand it but the movie itself was so fascinating and well-drawn that I just didn't care about figuring it out.

The Princess Bride

• 1987
• Adventure
• Comedy
• Fantasy
• Romance

This was one of the great romantic comedies of the 80's.

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

• 2010
• Action
• Adventure
• Fantasy
• Romance

By no means is this a 'must-see', but it definitely is much more underrated than what everyone (including me) thought. It actually ties in well with the game franchise, magnifying it rather than insulting it. There isn't a deep story but it's well-told and it's a fun movie. Great rental for popcorn movie night.

Primer

• 2004
• Drama
• Thriller
• Sci-fi

This movie will make your brain explode. Sure, it might not be for everyone as there are big words thrown around. Lots of talk about time travel, and a bunch of other theoretical sciences being discussed. However, these guys had a budget of something like $8,000 and managed to make it look pro. Hats off to them!

Primal Fear

• 1996
• Crime
• Drama
• Mystery
• Thriller

One of the best crime and court room drama movies I've seen. Richard Gere gets owned by Edward Norton, ha-ha!

Priest of Evil

• 2010
• Crime
• Thriller

Everyone in this movie either has: Old English tattoos, techno hair, G-Star clothing (look it up), Hot Topic jewelry, or biker facial hair. It tries so hard to be hard. I lost all interests after seeing emo boys cut themselves and kids disrespecting their parents in this non-cohesive story line. I know the trailer makes it look like it could be really good but I did not like it.

Priest

• 2011
• Action
• Horror
• Sci-fi

Have you seen Legion? This movie is just like Legion except it isn't as bad. Don't read too much into that, this still sucks.

Pretty Woman

• 1990
• Comedy
• Romance

Awww, the modern Cinderella story...or maybe it's just glorified whoring.

The Prestige

• 2006
• Drama
• Mystery
• Thriller

I somehow missed this movie and a big portion of me is glad that I did. I had no idea that it revolved around an insanely-twisted rivalry between two magician friends that went completely off the deep end. I was also floored when I saw David Bowie as Nikola Tesla. It is a "good problem" when you miss a great movie, rediscover it, and purposely avoid watching trailers or reading reviews about it. You, simply, just watch it with a blank and pure mind. Phenomenal film.

Premium Rush

• 2012
• Action
• Thriller

Is this supposed to be a serious thriller because there is human trafficking, gambling, organized crime, and violence.

OR

Is this some cornball, cat-and-mouse chase, sponsored by Google Maps.

Predators

• 2010
• Action
• Adventure
• Sci-fi
• Thriller

Fans have been complaining about the franchise after the first Predator movie and then came the crap storm that was the Aliens vs. Predators movies. I thought this was balanced between action and suspense while giving the fans what they've been asking for; a Predator movie that doesn't suck, horribly.

Predator 2

• 1990
• Action
• Adventure
• Horror
• Sci-fi
• Thriller

Terrible sequel to the first legendary movie.

Predator

• 1987
• Action
• Adventure
• Horror
• Sci-fi
• Thriller

One of the greatest Sci-Fi, action classics of all time. I was lucky enough to watch this when I was only 7-years-old and had no idea what it was about. I was blown away then and this movie still holds onto its crowning status today.

Precious

• 2009
• Drama

There are a lot of gross things in this film. I didn't like the excessive dream sequences, but good movie!

Powder

• 1995
• Drama
• Fantasy
• Mystery
• Sci-fi
• Thriller

Powder just came at the wrong time. If he existed today, everyone would tug him to parties, get him smashed, and have him do whacky tricks with his powers.

The Poughkeepsie Tapes

• 2007
• Crime
• Horror
• Thriller

Icky, nasty, disturbing, serial killer mockumentary! Just look at this poster, is that not enough of a warning sign for you?

The Postman

• 1997
• Action
• Adventure
• Drama
• Sci-fi

This movie has the most cringe-inducing moment in cinematic history. I swear.

Postal

• 2007
• Action
• Comedy
• Thriller

This Uwe Boll movie is so bad, it made me upset. I'm not saying that to be witty, I'm telling you that I was genuinely pissed off.

The Possession

• 2012
• Horror
• Thriller

Only difference with this mundane horror is that the demon isn’t Christian, it’s Jewish. Holy crap, I have nothing remotely interesting to say about this.

Porky's

• 1982
• Comedy

They should have taken this to the next level (if ya' know what I mean) and called the next sequel "Porking." Get it? Get it?

Ponyo

• 2008
• Animation
• Adventure
• Family
• Fantasy

Ponyo is so imaginative, beautiful, and touching. The animation is top-notch as expected from Studio Ghibli. It's a fantastical tale about a little boy and girl's love for each other. If there is a list of "most adorable movies of all time," Ponyo would be at the top.

Poltergeist

• 1982
• Horror
• Thriller

A creepy and classic horror icon by Spielberg.

Point Break

• 1991
• Action
• Crime
• Drama
• Thriller

Poetic Justice

• 1993
• Drama
• Romance

This crappy film brings back so many good junior high memories.

Pocahontas

• 1995
• Animation
• Drama
• Family
• History
• Music
• Romance

Poke who?

The Pledge

• 2001
• Drama
• Crime
• Mystery
• Thriller

This film moved me in a very, very negative way. It left me fearful and completely empty. And because of how impactful it was, there's no denying it's a good movie.

Pleasantville

• 1998
• Fantasy
• Comedy
• Drama

I dig this era so of course I dig this movie. It's about the conservative, good ol' days of America and how everything is black and white, literally. Two teenagers find themselves stuck in a 1950's TV show and their influences begin to change that world.

Platoon

• 1986
• Action
• Drama
• War

I really don't need to say anything about this classic war film, do I?

Planet Terror

• 2007
• Action
• Horror
• Sci-fi
• Thriller

Over-the-top Robert Rodriguez horror flick. The girl has a machine gun leg, for crying out-loud.

Planet of the Apes

• 2001
• Action
• Adventure
• Sci-fi
• Thriller

Tim Burton brings the original TV series into a full length film. I saw a lot of potential in this movie. There were so many things that wanted to be good but just couldn't for some odd reason. As much as I like Tim Burton, I think someone else would have done a much better job. This was bad.

Planet B-Boy

• 2007
• Documentary
• History
• Music

This is a good documentary about break dancing and its culture. The movie climaxes with "Battle of the Year," a worldwide tournament that brings all the best crews to Germany.

The Plague Dogs

• 1982
• Adventure
• Animation
• Drama

This is a really gritty, adult cartoon about two dogs that escape from a lab and then are hunted down. I definitely do not recommend this if you have a dog or love dogs.

The Place Beyond the Pines

• 2013
• Crime
• Drama

This is the most impactful and heart-breaking drama I have seen so far in 2013. And, ladies, you get a 2-for-1 deal with Gosling and Cooper so everyone can, and should see this hidden gem of a film. Actually, you must see this.

The Pixar Story

• 2007
• Documentary

I wanted to know more about the company that created hit-after-hit of the most charmingly animated films ever made. Great documentary!

Pitch Perfect

• 2012
• Comedy
• Music
• Romance

You would have every right to expect a Glee movie. What’s unexpected is that the cast is unique, genuine, weird, and all around funny. A surprisingly fun and funny movie.

Pitch Black

• 2000
• Action
• Sci-fi
• Thriller

I heard this was good when it came out in 2000. Watching it now, the movie obviously doesn't live up but that's OK, it is an enjoyable Sci-fi thriller. Sure, it has its cheesiness but the film is surprisingly brutal and fun.

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl

• 2003
• Action
• Adventure
• Fantasy

Great starting movie but like the Matrix series, prepare to be let down, and down, and down some more, by the following sequels.

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

• 2011
• Action
• Adventure
• Fantasy

You know they're bad movies. Just keep paying to go see them. Just keep on...

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest

• 2006
• Action
• Adventure
• Fantasy

A decent sequel to the first blockbuster hit.
