Critic Profile for Ben McGaughey

I live in North Idaho and have been a professional web developer for 12 years, but have been developing websites for over 20 years. I love movies, and enjoy writing about my viewing experiences.

My Hot Picks

  1. Gritty, raw, real. Shows the heart of a champion during his early days. I've never wanted the protagonist to succeed more in any movie.
    Rocky
  2. The perfect cinematic portrayal of a crime world we must assume is real because Coppola created something so awesome it has to be!
    The Godfather
  3. Epic adventure with unforgettable characters we cannot help but love.
    Star Wars IV - A New Hope
  4. Greatest ending of all time. A psychological journey beginning to end that pulls at your heart and pokes at your fears. Hands-down amazing!
    The Shawshank Redemption
  5. Brilliant story, outstanding acting. The soundtrack was spot on as well.
    Forrest Gump
  6. Touching movie about a boy, a girl, a man and his father.
    Elizabeth Town
  7. Steve Carell makes this a winner. The story has everything you want from a "romantic comedy", and the absurdities aren't THAT absurd :)
    Dan In Real Life
  8. Stars one of the greatest comedic actors of all time (Chris Farley), a tremendous heart-touching script, and laughs from start to finish.
    Tommy Boy
  9. Probably the quintessential action flick of all time, and it took until the 80's to finally happen. Yippee ki-yay!
    Die Hard
  10. This is just a feel-good movie all around.
    Pitch Perfect

 

Movies I Really Love

  1. Very funny, but touching too, and Amy Schumer will probably be around for a while. One of the funniest people on the planet right now.
    Trainwreck
  2. If you liked Taken (the first one) then you'll probably really enjoy this movie!
    The Prince
