Tenkû no Esukafurône (1996)
Babbling on about it's brilliance!
What can you say about Escaflowne without understating? Not only does it contain amazing drawings (especially of the guymelefs, they're brilliant), wonderfully complex characters and an amazing plot, it's got a bit of everything in it! Whether you like to see action, romance, adventure, drama, or whatever, there's bound to be something in Escaflowne you'll enjoy.
It certainly isn't lacking in good characters. Van is by THE most interesting and complex character in Escaflowne, in anime even!
If you haven't seen it, then I recommend you see the uncut version, not the stupid FOX version, which was butchered so that it only just about made sense. One thing that has to be said about the FOX version is that it contained some fabulous pieces of music that aren't found in the uncut, so it's good to see just for that. However, if you're after the plot and character developments, then the uncut is definately the way to go. I pretty much guarantee that you'll like the uncut if you're into anime/cartoons. A must-see series!
The Ring (2002)
Why, oh why?...
What can be said about The Ring without bursting into fits of hysterics? Being a person who is easily scared, I was surprised when The Ring didn't frighten me at all. It's problem was that it tried to make every scene spine-tinglingly scaring, which actually gave the impression that misty looking forests and spooky hidden islands are the norm, and therefore became less frightening. The effects and the music were the best things about this film, as the acting was relatively poor and the plot became more of a predictable cliche as the film went on. If you're into horror flicks, though, you'll have a field day with this one. If not, go see it, it'll give you a laugh!
