My Top 10 Movies

 

1. The Godfather (1972) Francis Ford Coppola- An astonishing film from the wedding scene to the baptism scene. Marlon Brando's acting is amazing!! He manages to play somebody older than him by about 20 years and he does it perfectly.
 

2. Citizen Kane (1941) Orson Welles- This movie is a real timeless classic. The photography is amazing and Orson Welles is great too (as an actor and a director).


 

3. Goodfellas (1990) Martin Scorsese - no better mafia film has ever been made except the Godfather. Scorsese with De Niro and even Pesci what can be better then that?


 

4. Scindler's List (1993)Steven Spielberg- What a touching story, I could hardly get through this movie without crying, seriously. The acting is great and this is without a doubt the best holocaust film ever made.


 

5. Psycho (1960) Alfred Hitchcock- A thrilling movie to say the least, Hitchcock's amazing classic is still horrifying more then 50 years after it was made (especially the shower scene).



6. The Gold Rush (1925) Charlie Chaplin- Wow, what a hilarious film! A real Chaplin classic.



7. The 400 Blows (1959) Francois Truffaut- this classic (one of the pioneers of the French new wave) is very thought provoking and the direction by Truffaut is great.
.
8. M (1931) Fritz Lang- This is one of the most thought provoking films ever made (even more then The 400 Blows) and I couldn't stop thinking about it for about a week. The photography and directing are both great.



9. Rear Window (1954) Alfred Hitchcock- Another thrilling Hitchcock classic although not as good as psycho it is still a great film.



10. American Beauty (1999) Sam Mendes - An amazing film and really thought provoking too. The actors are really great especially Kevin Spacey.
