| maxcinefilo89's Rating | My Rating | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Trainspotting 1996, R)
The best British film I've ever seen. Funny, painful and gripping |
|
| 2 |
American Beauty 1999, R)
Despite its dark tone, it's one of the funniest movies ever. A brilliant debut for Sam Mendes, and Kevin Spacey totally deserved the Oscar. |
|
| 3 |
Pulp Fiction 1994, R)
Best Picture of 1994 (in my opinion), best film made by Quentin Tarantino and one of the best movies I've ever seen. |
|
| 4 |
Fight Club 1999, R)
Audacious, brilliant, unmissable. One of the best films of the '90s. |
|
| 5 |
Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith 2005, PG-13)
Best of the prequels and, with The Empire Strikes Back, best of the Star Wars movies. |
|
| 6 |
L.A. Confidential 1997, R)
Top-notch literary adaptation, with an amazing ensemble cast. Should have won the Best Picture Oscar for 1997. |
|
| 7 |
The Untouchables 1987, R)
Alongside Scarface, this is Brian De Palma's best film. Great cast, especially Sean Connery and Robert De Niro. If you like '80s movies, don't miss this. |
|
| 8 |
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring 2001, PG-13)
Arguably the best fantasy film ever, and the best movie in the LOTR trilogy. |
|
| 9 |
Sin City 2005, R)
Most faithful comic-book adaptation ever. |
|
| 10 |
Magnolia 1999, R)
Audacious, original, funny and compelling: Paul Thomas Anderson's masterpiece is one of the most brilliant films of all time, and features an amzing ensemble cast, most notably Tom Cruise at the top of his game. |
|
| 11 |
Sunset Boulevard 1950, Unrated)
Billy Wilder's best, a poignant, gripping story of obsession and aging. Quite simply the best movie ever made about Hollywood. |
|
| 12 |
The Godfather 1972, R)
A timeless, flawless gangster film, featuring immortal performances by Marlon Brando, James Caan and Al Pacino. |
|
| 13 |
The Godfather, Part II 1974, R)
The Corleone saga continues in the best sequel in movie history. Al Pacino is mesmerizing, and let's not forget Robert De Niro as the young Don Vito. |
|
| 14 |
Casablanca 1942, PG)
In short, the best story ever told by Hollywood. Bogart and Bergman's tormented love story will always remain the ultimate movie romance. |
|
| 15 |
The Departed 2006, R)
Absolutely amazing. Artfully shot and acted to perfection, this is Scorsese's best film since Goodfellas. If he doesn't win an Oscar this time, there's no justice in this world. |
|
