|---|---|---|
| 1 |
The Godfather, Part II 1974, R)
featuring the parallel contrast between father and son, the rise to power and the struggle to keep it. pacino and de niro make each scene legendary. unquestionably flawless directing and acting. |
|
| 2 |
Taegukgi hwinalrimyeo (Brotherhood) (Tae Guk Gi: The Brotherhood of War) 2004, R)
arguably the most intangibly successful korean film of alltime. saving private ryan meets friend. would be flawless if not for over-sentimentality at the end. |
|
| 3 |
The Departed 2006, R)
deservedly best picture of the year. scorsese finally wins an oscar with beautifully orchestrated in your face violence with uncanny ability to make audience sympathise with bad people. great casting.only flaw is in weak female lead. |
|
| 4 |
Oldboy 2004, R)
the epitome of vengeful, surreal film noir. oblique film at its finest. choi min-sik deserves two oscars for his performance. |
|
| 5 |
Gonggongui Jeog (Public Enemy) (Public's Enemy) 2002, Unrated)
off-beat actioner which transcends the genre by boasting witty social satire while glorifying vigilante violence. the comedy and charismatic acting by both leads cover up multiple plot holes |
|
| 6 |
Chingoo (Friend) (Chingu) 2001, Unrated)
if you want to get into korean film, this could be a good movie to start off with. |
|
| 7 |
Jing wu ying xiong (Fist of Legend) 1994, R)
remake of bruce lee's fist of fury. jet li proves he is not just an acrobat with his formidable cinematic presence. |
|
| 8 |
The Usual Suspects 1995, R)
intricate plot weaving and now-legendary dialogue would not be the cult classic it is today without kevin spacey's masterful manipulation of the audience with his enigmatic and elaborately calculated performance |
|
| 9 |
Donnie Brasco 1997, R)
johnny depp's best performance he shows the world how to act without dispaying much emotion. the only actor who could ever make al pacino look 'vulnerable'. |
|
| 10 |

Rain Man 1988, R)
The lines between stranger and friend, friend and brother, brother and family is explored in this dry, fast-moving character piece featuring one of the greatest single portrayals of mentally disabled person captured on film. The ending is particularly poignant, just as you think the film has shown you the power of trust it also fingers the likelihood of its fragility and the mortality of all human relationship. |
