61. Shining Kubrick's adaptation of the Stephen King book. The steadicam work is perfect, making the Hotel a central character and the essential antagonist. The only drawback for me is Shelley Duvall. Kubrick did the best he could I am sure but she just can't act. She brings no depth, no nuances, nothing to her role. more... 62. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest Socially and politically charged commentary on 70s society. Milos Forman directs and Nicholson adds another great performance to his CV. more... 63. Macbeth Leonard Maltin writes, "Gripping, atmospheric, and extremely violent recreation of Shakespeare tragedy of young Scots nobleman lusting for power, driven onward by crazed wife and prophecies. Great example of film storytelling, thanks to excellent direction." more... |

64. Three Colors: White Second in the trilogy; White explores equality. As is often pointed out by critics, White has a subtle, clever and ironic wit about it. It is certainly the most fun of the trilogy and provides a great interlude between Blue and Red. more... 65. Sound of Music Simply wonderful adaptation of Rodgers & Hammerstein's timeless musical. Julie Andrews gives her much beloved performance as a governess who brings life and joy to an Austrian officer and his seven children. more... 66. Kundun Again Scorsese challenges his self-imposed limitations on genre and setting and succeeds wonderfully. Thankfully, unlike Last Temptation of Christ, Scorsese does not put New Yorkers in Nepal :) and instead, uses non-professional Tibetans for many of the parts. Scorsese seems to capture the Buddhist worldview in his cinematic presentation of the 14th Dalai Lama's life. Gorgeous film-making. more... |

67. Dances with Wolves Sweeping and grand epic marking Costner's directorial debut. Follows a frontiersman as he makes contact with an Indian tribe and experiences their plight in the wake of American encroachment into their territory. more... 68. Hard Boiled Violence as ballet. John Woo demonstrates his genius in the action genre. Chow Yun-Fat, perhaps the most talented Asian actor in recent cinema history, and Tony Leung give their characters more depth than you'd expect from this genre simply through their expressions and gestures. Exciting and entertaining! more... 69. Alien Groundbreaking Sci-Fi Horror. Visual style and mood sustain the film and help you ignore the weak characterizations and plot implausibilities. Spawned three inferior sequels by James Cameron, David Fincher and Jean-Pierre Jeunet. more... 70. Adventures of Robin Hood The classic Robin Hood tale wonderfully and energetically brought to life in the Hollywood swashbuckling style of the 1930s. Arguably Errol Flynn's finest role. more... |
