Gandhi is one hell of a biography

5 second plot: It's the biography of the man in the title, from his young years as a lawyer in South Africa to his death in his motherland India. He wanted the world to be a better place, with everyone living peacefully side by side. He conquered a lot of hearts and made the world a little bit better by being who he was.

5 second review: I could almost not believe that everything in the movie really actually happened. But shamefully... it did. It is an amazing story and it couldn't have been told better. But he is pictured as a bit of a drama queen, no? The clothes, the walk, the talk,... Did I just call this amazing man a drama queen? Sorry 'bout that.

1990: The Bronx Warriors is one of those movies

5 second plot: A rich girl from Manhattan flees to the Bronx where several gangs rule the streets. An evil corporation/the cops have plans to turn the gangs against each other and clean house.

5 second review: You can only enjoy this if you like '80s Italian sci-fi old school VHS memorabilia. It's fun to be able to say that you watched the movie, but it's not always a pleasant experience to be watching it. The most bizarre thing for me is the posture of the lead character 'Trash'. The way he stands, walks, fights or even rides a motorcycle is one of the weirdest thing I have ever seen in a movie. It looks like he's trying to hold onto something between his butt-cheeks the entire time.

Stalker is excruciatingly boring

5 second plot: There is a place in the world called 'The Zone' where everyone stays as far away from as possible. Those who go near it, are never seen again. One guy who seems to know the way in and out (a bit) takes two other guys in. They are trying to find 'The Room' that can grant wishes. Or something like that.

5 second review: I truly hate this experimental bullshit. It moves excruciatingly sloooowly. This must be the dumbest 'sci-fi' movie ever made. They act like there is a whole lot of mystery going on, but we only get to see plants and buildings and some strange shit. This movie really sucks.

Blade Runner is extraordinary

5 second plot: Deckard is a blade runner in a futuristic Los Angeles. He has to track down and kill four replicants.

5 second review: It all looks a bit retro and the story moves along way too slow for a modern audience, but it's still very awesome and mega cool. This is not only thanks to the extraordinary visuals but also because of the interesting ensemble of actors. They all look great. If possible, you should try to see this movie on a big screen.

Das Boot is probably as realistic as it can get

5 second plot: This is the story of the men working in a German U-boat in World War II. We get an insider look at all the difficulties they have to deal with. There are several occasions where they almost get blasted to the bottom of the ocean. But between the battles, it's not exactly a picnic neither.

5 second review: There is no doubt about it that this is a must see classic for all film fans. If you're claustrophobic, it's not going to be an easy watch. The movie gives you a terrifying look at the horror and randomness of a gruesome war like WWII. It's so well done, that you will be grasping for air together with the men that are really running out of it.

Thief is cool

5 second plot: Frank is very good at cracking safes. He is dreaming of a normal life (with wife and kids and all) and the only way he sees that happening is by scoring big and fast. So he lets himself get involved with the mob. They are very interested in his skill set. And they talk him into a plan that will make him rich really fast.

5 second review: This is a really cool safe-cracker movie. The main character is one of those bad-asses that has flaws, but nonetheless you are rooting for him big-time. And it pays off. The last 15 minutes of this movie are awesome. This is what going out with a bang is all about.

Dressed to Kill has its moments

5 second plot: A woman is brutally murdered in an elevator. Another woman catches a glimpse of the killer. And now the killer is after her.

5 second review: This is a really slow movie filled with unnecessary scenes. Probably to cover up the fact that there isn't very much to tell. But the core material (the 20 mts of 'real' story) is very good: suspenseful, sexy and shocking.  It's probably a must see classic, but for a modern audience it looks a bit weird. Like the giant bush (80's style) in the first scene.

Airplane! is off the charts funny

5 second plot: Ted Striker runs after the love of his life. She's a stewardess and he follows her on a plane to Chicago. The pilot and co-pilot of the plane get sick. And now it's up to Ted to save the day. He knows how to fly a plane, but due to a war-trauma, he's too afraid to try.

5 second review: The jokes come at such high speed, they are slapped around your ears one after another. They are all outrageously stupid, but brought with amazing straight faces. I can watch this movie all day non-stop and still cry with laughter at the end of the day. This is a true comedy classic.

Life of Brian is one of those must see comedies

5 second plot: From the day he is born, Brian is mistaken for being the son of God. The more he tries to convince everyone he isn't, the more they think he is.

5 second review: It's a crazy old movie, but the comedy is classic. You have to have seen it. There's simply no way around it. So hop to it.

The Brood is definitely weird

5 second plot: Frank's wife is following intensive psychiatric therapy (something experimental). Frank thinks the psychiatrist is a fraud and tries to prove it. His biggest concern is his daughter. He doesn't want to let her go near his wife anytime soon. Because he thinks she's hurting her. And then some very weird shit starts happening.

5 second review: It's old school, but it's still decent. It's mysterious, tense and it's made to be as disturbing as possible for the viewer. You have to be a bit open-minded (it's partly a creature feature) and very patient (not very much happens in between the core scenes) to really enjoy this movie.
