Serpico (1973)
IMDB rating: 7.70
Plot: Frank Serpico is a young, inexperienced cop who starts out on patrol. Later, he starts to work as an undercover cop who busts all sorts of criminals, but mostly drug dealers and pushers. Since Serpico is a young man living in the 70’s, he lives as one. His image, based on how others look on him, shows him as just a ‘hippie’ and the criminals he busts have no idea he is really an undercover officer. Everything is working out well, except the money situation. Serpico refuses to accept money, as the other officers do. He feels this isn’t right, and wants to expose the situation. Who he thought were his friends now turn into his enemies when Serpico takes the stand on a grand jury investigation. He continues to work undercover, and his life is placed into jeopardy at the hands of his colleagues.

Good Will Hunting – great film, and this is coming from someone who dislikes both Affleck and Damon, it was very well done. 7/10
Shawshank Redemption – a must see, it’s great but not as great as everyone says. Some people call this the best film of all time, it’s not in my opinion but it certainly is in my top 50. 8/10
Departed – It was good I preferred Infernal Affairs though, which is the original of this. 6/10
25th Hour – Norton is spectacular as always 7/10
Scarface – I am very biased on this one, I do not like this film but for personal reasons. You should see it though many people adore this film and a lot of films reference it (won’t rate it)
Memento – Incredible, another must see 9/10
American Psycho – Loved the film and the book, this is one of the few films where I liked it better than the book. I won’t spoil it for you but many people interpret this film incorrectly, this is not a film about a serial killer, it’s a satire about how shallow society is. The director has been very clear on her intent check out her comments on it after you watch. 9/10
Se7en – highly stylized, i love the grittiness and the soundtrack. My fav crime/thriller. 9/10
Pan’s Labyrinth – Much more violent and dark then the trailers lead you to believe. Brutal in many scenes, again watch the commentary after. 9/10
Death Proof – It’s okay, a fun little film not as absorbing as many of the others you listed 6/10
Manhunter – I do not like this film at all, it seemed laughable, I thought the acting was really poor and it did not reflect what I imagined the book to be. I did love Red Dragon though, which is the same story. Many people do prefer this one over Red Dragon though, I just thought I would add that I am in a bit of a minority in my opinion here. 5/10
Kill Bill – Another ehh film for me, Volume 1 was stronger than 2 in my opinion. The O-ren story was my fav and is basically the movie Kite. 6/10
Taxi Driver – Watch it, even if it’s just for the camera-work near the end. Great film. 8/10
Jackie Brown – I like this film, many people don’t list it as Tarantino’s best but I think it’s right up there with his greatest. 7/10
Donnie Brasco – Worth watching 7/10
Psycho – Original, you have to see it. It’s a classic. The remake? forget it 9/10
V for Vendetta – again worth watching 6/10
Boondock Saints – Great film they are working on a sequel which people will be going nuts over when it comes out so you might as well watch this now lol. 7/10
Illusionist, Blood Diamond, Miller’s Crossing and Mean Streets – didn’t see it sorry
(as far as ratings go almost nothing gets a 10 so 9 is amazing)
Hope that helped.

Shawkshank Redemption because it was well plotted and has a great ending
mark | Sep 03, 2009
I’ve seen Pan’s Labryinth. Good, but as far as content goes it’s a bit graphic.
Jade | Sep 03, 2009
I’ve seen The Illusionist and I fell asleep during it. it was awfully boring and I wish I hadn’t seen it, because all it did was waste a good 2 hours of my life. Please don’t waste your time (and money!).
My sister saw The Deperted and raves about it. She is always talking about it and how great of a movie it is. So I guess I’d recommend it.
Pans Labyrinth is a favorite of mine. It’s humorus, suspensful, scary, and entertaining! I see this movie often and I absouluty love it. Please watch it.

Most, if not ALL, of these movies are some of the greatest movies ever made!
In my profesional oppinion, WATCH ALL OF THEM!
(However, instead of THE ILLUSIONIST, see THE PRESTIGE)

Blood Diamond
Scarface
Loved them both;- Blood Diamond was much better, I thought, because parts of it made me cry… But I watched Scarface more times.

On a scale of 1 – 10 (best) of the ones I’ve seen
good will hunting – 7
the shawshank redemption – 10
the illusionist – 8
blood diamond – 9 (it’s on USA tonight at 8 I think)
scarface – 7
se7en – 7 gets a 7
american beauty – 7 or maybe an 8
pans labyrinth – 7 (it would be better if it was in english)
death proof – 7 and watch the double feature… planet terror – 7.5
kill bill – 8
american gangster – 5 (very slow movie and disapointing with the actors that are in it)
v for vendetta – 9.5
boondock saints – 7 (the picture quality was bad but that could have just been my DVD)
Additional recomended movies (I give these all a 10): The Last Samuri, Gladiator, The Green Mile, Road To Perdition, Troy…
Brandon | Sep 03, 2009
I saw all of those movies. That’s quite a list. Death Proof and Boondock Saints were bad. The original Psycho is alot better than the remake. The rest of the movies are very good to excellent.

You have compiled a list of very good movies here.
good will hunting – One of my personal favorite movies. 10/10
the shawshank redemption – A classic that everyone should see 10/10
the departed – A rare original, quite good 9/10
25th hour – Have not seen
the illusionist – not nolans best, but worth looking at. 7/10
blood diamond – not all that original, but still good 8/10
scarface – although great, I think this film is over rated 8/10
Memento – original & clever 10/10
American psycho – also over rated 7/10
se7en – groundbreaking for its time 10/10
american beauty – Have not seen
pans labyrinth – absolutely beautiful 10/10
the departed – this was already listed
death proof – i enjoyed planet terror, but not death proof 5/10
manhunter – Have not seen
kill bill – both are great. if you like QT’s storytelling, this is for you. 10/10
miller’s crossing – Have not seen
taxi driver – one of the best films ever made and RD at his finest 10/10
serpico – Have not seen
american gangster – again, not original, but worth checking out 8/10
jackie brown – my least favorite of QT’s films 4/10
Mean streets – Have not seen
donnie brasco – quite good for a biopic. 8/10
psycho – classic, hitchcock is brilliant. 10/10
v for vendetta – great translation from the graphic novel 7/10
boondock saints – Have not seen
Looks like you have been missing out on some fun films. Since you have 3 Tarentino films in there I will assume you are interested in him and I will also recomend Inglourious Basterds. It was amazing. QT at his best.
Paper Street | Sep 03, 2009
