Magnolia 1999, R)
|
|
| 2 |
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King 2003, PG-13)
The best LOTR film, a moving and brilliantly made epic closing to an incredible journey. Ian McKellen is BADASS in this movie. |
|
| 3 |
American Beauty 1999, R)
|
|
| 4 |
Requiem for a Dream 2000, R)
Movies don't get much more effective or powerful than this, one of my top five favourite films ever. Ellen Burstyn should've been awarded the Oscar for her UNFORGETTABLE work as Sara Goldfarb. |
|
| 5 |
The Shawshank Redemption 1994, R)
|
|
| 6 |
Moulin Rouge! 2001, PG-13)
My favourite musical film. I've never seen a movie so bursting at the seams with energy and artful originality. |

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest 1975, R)
A superb classic drama, with one of the greatest leading male performances in movie history delivered by Jack Nicholson. |
|
| 8 |
Titanic (in 3D) 2012, PG-13)
I saw this seven times theatrically. |
|
| 9 |
House of Sand and Fog 2003, R)
One of the most criminally underseen movies of the last few years. A small drama that quickly becomes a tragedy, "House of Sand and Fog" is a brilliantly directed and very depressing drama with another amazing performance from the best actress working today, Jennifer Connelly. |

Babel 2006, R)
|

The Silence of the Lambs 1991, R)

| 14 |
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers 2002, PG-13)
|
|
| 15 |
Gangs of New York 2002, R)
One of my favourite films - Martin Scorsese's grand epic is a fascinating study of New York City and of revenge. Daniel Day-Lewis gives a masterful and charismatic performance as Bill the Butcher. |
|
| 16 |
Almost Famous 2000, R)
|
|
| 17 |
Million Dollar Baby 2004, PG-13)
2004's best film. |

Brokeback Mountain 2005, R)
The best movie of 2005. |
|
| 19 |
Crash 2005, R)
I wish "Brokeback" had won Best Picture, it really deserved it more, but I still absolutely loved this compelling and thought-provoking drama. One of the best of 2005. |
|
| 20 |
Mysterious Skin 2004, NC-17)
|
|
| 21 |
The Pianist 2002, R)
Polanski's directing Oscar was well-deserved. A haunting and brilliantly made film. |
|
| 22 |
Munich 2005, R)
An incredible film, my favourite from Steven Spielberg. |
|

|
|
| 27 |
Thirteen 2002, R)
|
|

The Departed 2006, R)
|

Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith 2005, PG-13)
Best STAR WARS film. |
