My favorite is _ **The King of Comedy** _, one very few people like as much as I do.
After that, in no special order:
_**Midnight Run
Goodfellas
The Godfather Part 2
Heat**_
I really hate leaving _ **Once Upon a Time in America** _ off the list.

…wow, that was really hard. You could ask me next month and four of the five might be different. The man has had a few misses, but in general, what a body of work.
