OZARK'S TOP 250 MOVIES: #150-#141
#150 - Deliverance (1972)
A sharp and scary tale of four friends on a canoing trip that goes horribly wrong when they comes across some backwoods folks. Wonderfully shot with an eye for the beauty of the outdoors backed with the terror of the unknown.
#149 - Django (1966)
A man drags a coffin behind him. This man is Django. This is the setup for this spaghetti western that inspired a hoard of sequels, remakes and homages. What is in the coffin? It really pays off to find out.
#148 - Night of the Hunter (1955)
One of the darkest film noirs out of Hollywood. Robert Mitchum is the creepy criminal posing as a preacher who is stalking two children who know the location of a cache of money. A real psychological horror story without really being horror. A classic.
#147 - Arsenic and Old Lace (1944)
Frank Capra's pitch black comedy about a drama critic (Cary Grant) who finds out his sweet old aunts have been killing lonely old gentlemen. This is a truly funny movie, set the whole time in the home of the aunts.
#146 - Scarface (1983)
"Say hello to my little friend!!" Al Pacino plays coke-snorting druglord Tony 'Scarface' Montana perfectly, he is over the top, brash and extremely violent. Brian De Palma tight direction carries us through the story of Montana's rise and eventual fall.
#145 - Lost in Translation (2003)
Bill Murray is incredible. Scarlett Johanssen is gorguous. Together they make one of the most touching screen couples of all time. Set against the neon backdrop of Tokyo they are in place where they can only really communicate with one another.
#144 - Get Shorty (1995)
Based on Elmore Leonard's novel. John Travolta is the Miami mobster who goes to LA to pick up on a debt only to end wanting to stay and become part of the movie business. Downright hilarious and well written.
#143 - Bonnie and Clyde (1967)
A very controversial film in it's day the violence of this true story is common in modern cinema but back then it really potrayed the lives of the famous bank robbers as they really were. Out of place but always excellent.
#142 - Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)
The guy that everyone wanted to be like. Matthew Broderick is the ultimate cool kid, faking being sick, stealing his best friend's father's Ferrari and driving into Chicago for the day. Plus he is dating Mia Sara. Then he kicked the shit out of Godzilla.
#141 - The Hitcher (1986)
Don't pick up strangers especially if they look anything Rutger Hauer. This desolate thriller is a pulse pounding ride with a standout creepy performance from Hauer.
