- Yeah, I know I’m cheating, that it’s Godfather & Godfather 2 combined into one film in chronological order with added scenes, but I’ve seen this version so many times recently, it’s becoming my Godfather default.
Really!? Hmmm…
Anyway, mine are:
I. Millers Crossing
II. Hombre
III. Collateral
IV. Matrix
V. A Few Good Men
Yes, that’s right I included TWO Tom Cruise movies. The first is because of the Coen Bros. The second because of the superlative acting of Jack Nicholson and J.T. Walsh. So there!
If I did this tomorrow, it would be five completely different films. Here the first five that jumped out at me when I looked at my list of 10-rated pictures on IMDB:
Secret of the Grain
Chungking Express
4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days
Umbrellas of Cherbourg
Jackie Brown
1-Field of Dreams (I cry at the the goddam ending every time)
2-Casablanca
3-Star Wars: A New Hope
4-Dances With Wolves
5-The World According to Garp
