- DirectorFrancis Ford CoppolaStarsMartin SheenMarlon BrandoRobert DuvallA U.S. Army officer serving in Vietnam is tasked with assassinating a renegade Special Forces Colonel who sees himself as a god.The greatest films ever made. Surreal, entertaining, frightening, and hypnotic. It is in my opinion Francis ford Coppola's masterpiece. An astounding cast make up this excellent film that features stunning cinematography and awesome characters.
- DirectorStanley KubrickStarsKeir DulleaGary LockwoodWilliam SylvesterAfter uncovering a mysterious artifact buried beneath the Lunar surface, a spacecraft is sent to Jupiter to find its origins: a spacecraft manned by two men and the supercomputer HAL 9000.My all time favorite Science-fiction movie. Nothing will ever come close.

This movie did the impossible it surpassed its sequel.

Especially for its twist at the very end. Do your self a favor and watch this grand movie!
- DirectorLuc BessonStarsJean RenoGary OldmanNatalie Portman12-year-old Mathilda is reluctantly taken in by Léon, a professional assassin, after her family is murdered. An unusual relationship forms as she becomes his protégée and learns the assassin's trade.Wow! If only action movies were this good(I'm looking at you Michael Bay!). It has the most interesting relationship I have seen in an action movie.
- DirectorRoman PolanskiStarsJack NicholsonFaye DunawayJohn HustonA private detective hired to expose an adulterer in 1930s Los Angeles finds himself caught up in a web of deceit, corruption, and murder.Love film-noir especially Chinatown. An intelligent plot with a great cast headed by Jack Nicholson. Another great film one should watch.
- DirectorMartin ScorseseStarsRobert De NiroJodie FosterCybill ShepherdA mentally unstable veteran works as a nighttime taxi driver in New York City, where the perceived decadence and sleaze fuels his urge for violent action.God's lonely man, this is one movie anyone can relate too by simply walking around a big city at night.

This is one brilliant horror film; loved the Steadicam shots.
- DirectorTerry GilliamStarsJonathan PryceKim GreistRobert De NiroA bureaucrat in a dystopic society becomes an enemy of the state as he pursues the woman of his dreams.What makes this film so creepy is that it's all coming true. If it was only this hilarious I would be able to stand it.
- DirectorSergio LeoneStarsClint EastwoodEli WallachLee Van CleefA bounty hunting scam joins two men in an uneasy alliance against a third in a race to find a fortune in gold buried in a remote cemetery.Best western ever made. So entertaining to watch.

Not to mention Ennio Morricone's excellent score.
- DirectorJean-Pierre MelvilleStarsLino VenturaPaul MeurisseJean-Pierre CasselAn account of underground resistance fighters in Nazi-occupied France.The best film of the french resistance. Jean-Pierre-Melville is a great filmmaker.
- DirectorTerrence MalickStarsJim CaviezelSean PennNick NolteAdaptation of James Jones' autobiographical 1962 novel, focusing on the conflict at Guadalcanal during the second World War.Some might call it boring and pompous, but I call it hypnotic and poetic. Watching a Malick film is a true experience. So watch it.
- DirectorFrancis Ford CoppolaStarsMarlon BrandoAl PacinoJames CaanThe aging patriarch of an organized crime dynasty transfers control of his clandestine empire to his reluctant son.Marlon Brando as the iconic Vito Corleone shouldn't be missed. I'm sure you've all heard of this one.
- DirectorNicolas Winding RefnStarsRyan GoslingCarey MulliganBryan CranstonA mysterious Hollywood action film stuntman gets in trouble with gangsters when he tries to help his neighbor's husband rob a pawn shop while serving as his getaway driver.Some might call it shallow but it's not. I personally loved this movie and Nicolas Winding Refn is one of the most talented filmakers we have today. If you love Lynch, Cronenburg, or Mann watch this you'll love it like I did.
- DirectorStanley KubrickStarsMalcolm McDowellPatrick MageeMichael BatesIn the future, a sadistic gang leader is imprisoned and volunteers for a conduct-aversion experiment, but it doesn't go as planned.Disturbing yes, but hilarous and haunting at the same time! This is one of the most darkest movies done. Not for the faint of heart.
- 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.Mindblowing! If only there woulden't have been any sequels to ruin this entertaining and philoshophical masterpiece.
- DirectorStanley KubrickStarsTom CruiseNicole KidmanTodd FieldA Manhattan doctor embarks on a bizarre, night-long odyssey after his wife's admission of unfulfilled longing.Was it all a dream? Who knows, but what I do know is that this is one heck of a great movie! If you like erotic-thrillers then this is up your alley.
- DirectorDon SiegelClint EastwoodStarsClint EastwoodAndrew RobinsonHarry GuardinoWhen a man calling himself "the Scorpio Killer" menaces San Francisco, tough-as-nails Police Inspector "Dirty" Harry Callahan is assigned to track down the crazed psychopath.Do you fell lucky? Well do ya' punk? My favorite cop movie.

Enjoy this film about a loner in a post-apocalyptic wasteland.
