You cannot go wrong with movies by - the Coen brothers - Stanley Kubrick - Akira Kurosawa - Milos Forman - Lars von Trier or in the more popular genre, movies directed by - Ridley Scott - Quentin Tarantino - Steven Spielberg may you forget the Italians Visconti and Bertolucci ? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Gunn Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Wow, so hard to limit a list to just 10, but here's my list (also in no particular order): 2001, A Space Odyssey (one of Kubrick's best; still blows away many modern SciFi flicks with their CGI) Apocalypse Now (arguably the best Vietnam war film and one of the best war films of all time; brilliant overlay of an existing story (Heart of Darkness) onto a screenplay) Jeremiah Johnson (one of my favorite westerns; the sound and cinematography here, from the screech of a hawk, the bugling elk, to the wind blowing through the trees, and the location shots are amazing, plus a great story) On The Waterfront (arguably Brando's greatest, with one of the best scenes (Rod Steiger and Brando in the back of the taxi) in film of all time; "Not my NIGHT? I coulda torn Wilson apart!") Patton (a tour de force performance by George C. Scott; as much a biography as it is a war film) Raging Bull (Scorsese and De Niro at their zenith in my opinion; plus brilliant cinematography and musical score) The Sand Pebbles (probably Steve McQueen's best movie, although Bullit is close) Spartacus (a true epic with an amazing ensemble cast) The Game (a few others have mentioned Se7en, another David Fincher film but I think this is a little better; not quite as dark but a bit more cerebral and M. Douglas' portrayal of an investment banker is brilliant) Total Recall (nice mix of Action/Adv. and Sci Fi; Arnold at the top of his game; nice, "keep you on the edge of your seat" entertainment without being too deep/heavy) Those are just from my personal collection and I could have put a few more in, in addition to a bunch of others I don't have. So hard to limit to just 10. Some honorable mentions: Miller's Crossing (Gabriel Byrne, Albert Finney, say no more) and The Big Lebowski - two great Cohen brother works. Three Days of the Condor (another R. Redford film, with outstanding supporting cast: Faye Dunaway, Cliff Robertson, Max Von Sydow, John Houseman) - a great espionage/thriller Ronin Star Wars (the first one; Lucas lost me on his toy-selling/marketing ploys he called sequels) Terminator-2 (need to have seen the first one to fully enjoy this, but I think this is a slightly better film) The Shining (another Kubrick classic, with Nicholson chewing up his scenes) To Live and Die in LA (gritty action/adv. with a great performance that put Willem Dafoe on the map) True Lies (another Arnold action/adv. with a brilliant straight man performance by Tom Arnold) The Matrix Thunderball, Goldfinger, Diamonds are Forever, Dr. No, You Only Live Twice (there's Sean Connery's Bond, then there's everyone else; this is the order of my personal preference for his Bond films) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharksy Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Can't believe "The Brothers Grimsby" hasn't been mentioned? Certainly not for everyone, love or hate it film.
