I found this unwatchable. I tried (twice) and only made it 30-40 minutes in before I couldn't take the total boredom anymore. I watch movies to be entained or educated or at least intrigued. For me this did none of those. I realize many people liked it but I have never met one of them. My experience with it has been similar to "most" people I know.

I only gave this one about 15 minutes and couldn't find a reason to keep watching. Then again subtitles give me a headache so I avoid them whenever I can. I realize many of my tastes may be considered "pedestrian".

I thought these were "okay". Well done and worth a watch but ultimately forgetable.

I thought this was absolutely a terrific movie. This is one of the best movies ever. The tension is awesome even when you know exactly what is happening.

These are the only ones I have seen (partially!) from your list. Before Sunset is definitely on my list as I really enjoyed Before Sunrise.
