Empire Magazine recently posted their list of the 500 Greatest Movies of All Time. 500 is just too big a list to deal with… so, using just THEIR TOP 50, I made a list of MY TOP 10 of EMPIRE’s TOP 50. Without further adieu, here they are in alphabetical order:
Aliens (James Cameron, 1986): Took the Alien concept and made it a franchise… and the best movie of the series.
Casablanca (Michael Curtiz, 1942): Bogie at his best.
Die Hard (John McTiernan 1988): Redefined the action genre and turned Bruce Willis into a star.
Dr. Strangelove (Stanley Kubrick, 1964): “There’s no fighting in the war room!” — Need I say more?
Godfather, The (Francis Ford Coppola, 1972): Perhaps the best cast movie of all time.
Godfather Part II (Francis Ford Coppola, 1974): One of the rare movies that is as good as the original… especially when the original is as good as The Godfather.
Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, The (Sergio Leone, 1967): Classic title + classic theme + Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef, Eli Wallach, and Sergio Leone = All Time Greatest Movie
Matrix, The (The Wachowski Brothers, 1999): Redefined the action genre. If only the sequels had been as good.
Pulp Fiction (Quentin Tarantino, 1994): Made Tarantino a star… and rightly so.
Terminator 2: Judgement Day (James Cameron, 1991): Like Godfather II and Aliens, a sequel that was as good as the original.
