- DirectorStanley KubrickStarsMalcolm McDowellPatrick MageeMichael BatesAlex DeLarge and his droogs barbarize a decaying near-future.Possibly my favorite picture of all time.
- DirectorDavid LeanStarsPeter O'TooleAlec GuinnessAnthony QuinnThe story of T.E.

- DirectorFranklin J. SchaffnerStarsSteve McQueenDustin HoffmanVictor JoryA French convict in the 1930s befriends a fellow criminal as the two of them begin serving their sentence in the South American penal colony on Devil's Island, which inspires the man to plot his escape.It's a shame that this film isn't aired much more often. Steve McQueen & Dustin Hoffman are beyond excellent here and the storyline, which is based on a true story, is superb

- DirectorBruce BeresfordStarsLothaire BluteauAden YoungSandrine HoltIn the 17th century, a Jesuit missionary nicknamed Black Robe by the natives and his small party of companions try reaching the Huron tribe in Canada all while facing mistrust, Iroquois warring parties and harsh winter conditions.Both beautiful and painful to watch. Another story of how the Catholic Church destroyed a thriving people.
- DirectorJohn HughesStarsSteve MartinJohn CandyLaila RobinsA Chicago advertising man must struggle to travel home from New York for Thanksgiving, with a lovable oaf of a shower-curtain-ring salesman as his only companion.This gets my vote for funniest movie ever made....I own 2 copies and never cease to laugh my ass off when I watch this.

- DirectorSpike LeeStarsEdward NortonBarry PepperPhilip Seymour HoffmanCornered by the DEA, convicted New York drug dealer Montgomery Brogan reevaluates his life in the 24 remaining hours before facing a seven-year jail term.A great Edward Norton film that hasn't had nearly as much exposure as it deserves
- DirectorLana WachowskiLilly WachowskiStarsKeanu ReevesLaurence FishburneCarrie-Anne MossWhen a beautiful stranger leads computer hacker Neo to a forbidding underworld, he discovers the shocking truth--the life he knows is the elaborate deception of an evil cyber-intelligence.Truthfully....they shouldn't have made this a trilogy. They shoulda stopped here

- DirectorKen LoachStarsCillian MurphyPádraic DelaneyLiam CunninghamAgainst the backdrop of the Irish War of Independence, two brothers fight a guerrilla war against British forces.This little known Irish film is so rich in story, passion and honesty it is a crime that it isn't talked about more often.
- DirectorRobert De NiroStarsRobert De NiroChazz PalminteriLillo BrancatoAn intense drama about a boy torn between his tough, hard-working father and a violent yet charismatic crime boss.There are a lot of great gangland pics out there. This one has a special underlying theme which, in my opinion, helps make for the exceptional storyline. The star studded acting doesn't hurt
- DirectorPhilip D'AntoniStarsRoy ScheiderTony Lo BiancoVictor ArnoldTough detective Buddy leads an elite New York City unit to convict felons and jail them for a minimum of seven years. Buddy is trying to find out who killed his partner but uncovers a plot to kidnap mobsters for money.From back in the 70s, this movie has a chase scene that rivals the one from Bullitt. Roy Scheider & Tony Lo Bianco, playing their tough guy cops which they did for so many great movies back then.
- DirectorBryan SingerStarsKevin SpaceyGabriel ByrneChazz PalminteriThe sole survivor of a pier shoot-out tells the story of how a notorious criminal influenced the events that began with five criminals meeting in a seemingly random police lineup.Definitely in my top three.
