12 films, ranked on my own star ratings by Arwin Edward Bagaslao. Updated 2026-10-06.

My Robert Duvall ranking from watched films: classic authority, weathered faces, old men with weight, and cinema that smells like wood, smoke, and consequences. Ranked by stars first, then by rewatch pull, emotional clarity, performance imp

1. 1
   John Q (2002)

   ★★★★★

   This one hits close to home for me because I lost my conjoined twins due to heart complications.

2. 2
   The Godfather (1972)

   ★★★★½

   This watch clicked for me in a way it didn’t before.

3. 3
   The Judge (2014)

   ★★★★½
4. 4
   Apocalypse Now (1979)

   ★★★★

   The cinematography and color grading shocked me.

5. 5
   The Godfather Part II (1974)

   ★★★★

   The Godfather Part II shifts away from loud violence into quiet power plays, where conversations, looks, and decisions carry more danger than gunfire.

6. 6
   The 6th Day (2000)

   ★★★★
7. 7
   Jack Reacher (2012)

   ★★★½
8. 8
   Days of Thunder (1990)

   ★★★

   Feels like Top Gun on asphalt. The film treats racing not just as a sport but as identity.

9. 9
   To Kill a Mockingbird (1962)

   ★★★

   What I admire most here is the film’s moral clarity.

10. 10
    Network (1976)
11. 11
    Gone in Sixty Seconds (2000)

    ★★

    Well, it’s kinda fun. Just not the heart pumping adrenaline rush I expected it to be.
