The central theme to four of these five selections is that they’re about people at a point in their lives where the only certainty is that they are not willing to remain as they are. Their objectives differ, as do their methods, but anyone who has ever stared at a crossroads should easily identify with these movies. Most of these selections — though not all — were streamed in the middle of the night, where the only ambient noise was the space heater and the occasional snoring from one of our cats. I can’t, of course, attest to how I may have responded to any of these movies amidst the hustle and bustle of the daytime hours and I can’t guarantee that if you wait until everyone else is asleep that they’ll resonate with you, but I thought it pertinent to establish the context in which I came to view these films.

Do you consider any of this week’s Blu-ray and DVD releases to be one of the Best films of All-Time?
Splice (DVD and Blu-ray | R | 2009)
 |
How would you rank it amongst the best science fiction horror movies of all time?
Flickchart Rank: #4719
|
Adrien Brody stars in the new movie I’m looking most forward to this Tuesday. I love science fiction stories about experiments gone wrong and it looks like most Flickchart users have been rating this one very well.
The Karate Kid (DVD and Blu-ray | PG | 2010)
 |
How would you rank it amongst the best martial arts movies of all time?
Flickchart Rank: #5065
|
I generally am OK with remakes if for no other reason than they finally give me some incentive to watch the original. The original was a solid little Rocky-clone and everything I’ve heard about this modern remake seems to be pretty positive too.
A Nightmare on Elm Street (DVD & Blu-ray | R | 2010)
 |
How would you rank it amongst the best slasher movies of all time?
Flickchart Rank: #5577
|
Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy Krueger.
The Human Centipede (DVD & Blu-ray | NR | 2009)
 |
How would you rank it amongst the best sadistic horror movies of all time?
Flickchart Rank: #6603
|
I don’t have the stomach to watch a human centipede in action but I am impressed by how nuts this movie seems to be.
The Secret of Kells (DVD & Blu-ray | NR | 2009)
 |
How would you rank it amongst the best animated movies of all time?
Flickchart Rank: #6523
|
Best Animated feature nominee at 2010′s Oscars. Also on Netflix Instant Watch this week.
The Oxford Murders (DVD & Blu-ray | R | 2008)
 |
How would you rank it amongst the best whodunit movies of all time?
Flickchart Rank: #9097
|
Murder Mystery starring Elijah Wood and John Hurt.
Holy Rollers (DVD | R | 2008)
 |
How would you rank it amongst the best crime drama movies of all time?
Flickchart Rank: #17748
|
Jesse Eisenberg stars in one of those movies about a young Jewish man dealing drugs that seems to come out every few years.
Space Chimps 2: Zartog Strikes Back (DVD (DTV) | PG | 2010)
 |
How would you rank it amongst the best animal movies of all time?
Flickchart Rank: Just Added
|
I actually kinda liked the first Space Chimps. It’s a little ridiculous, brightly-colored and features some decent voice acting. Can’t say I’m excited to see what a DTV sequel looks like though.
30 Days of Night: Dark Days (DVD and Blu-ray (DTV) | R | 2010)
 |
How would you rank it amongst the best monster movies of all time?
Flickchart Rank: #17730
|
DTV sequel to the solid 30 Days of Night.

The uninspired Summer of 2010 continues. The two major releases look OK, and I’m sure they have their moments, it would just be nice to get a real slobberknocker of a movie released here soon.
