Excalibur 1981, R)
boorman's vision is unable to be catagorized other than fantastic. the one authurian legend film that compiles the best bits and creates a stunning vision unlike any other |
|
| 11 |
Trainspotting 1996, R)
simply brilliant. excellent cast (of unknowns, at the time). great music. bizarre vision and an emotional rollercoaster with some of the best, twisted funny bits that make it highly quotable. |
|
| 12 |
Aliens 1986, R)
best of the lot. james cameron is big but contained. does the only thing you could do to improve from the first one: send in hundreds of the nasty bastards. well cast. |
|
| 13 |
Monty Python and the Holy Grail 1974, PG)
simply: brilliant. the best python film and python-cast film. endlessly quotable and fun on 30 times repeat viewing |
|
| 14 |
Rear Window 1954, PG)
in my opinion, given the physical constraints of one set, and a guy in a wheelchair, hjitchcock creates a masterpiece within the confines. excellent cast and perhaps his best man-woman relationship problems in character with grace kelly and jimmy stewart. |
