OZARK'S TOP 250 MOVIES: #180-#171
#180 - Jerry Maguire (1996)
The last Cameron Crowe movie of great quality formed a rebirth in the career of Tom Cruise and made a star of Renee Zellweger. And Cuba you had us at 'SHOW ME THE MONEY!!'
#179 - Police Story (1985)
Jackie Chan's greatest movie. Strong story, great camerawork and action to die for. The opening sequence in which they destroy an entire shanty town is very impressive. Fox just bought the rights to this from New Line so maybe we will get a the US DVD release this movie deserves.
#178 - X-Men (2000)
Bryan Singer brings to life Marvel's greatest superhero team and in the process makes one of the best comic book adaptations ever. Hugh Jackman proves all the fanboys wrong as he brilliantly brings Wolverine to life.
#177 - Full Contact (1992)
Chow Yun Fat is a criminal double-crossed and left for dead by his fellow criminals, so of course he plots his revenge in Ringo Lam's excellent heroic bloodshed thriller.
#176 - Chasing Amy (1997)
Ben Affleck turns a gay Joey Lauren Adams straight in this most romantic, and often very funny, of the Kevin Smith films. But yet again, as in Mallrats, the movie is all about Jason Lee.
#175 - The Silence of the Lambs (1991)
This is one of only two movies to walk away with all 5 major oscars (Picture, Director, Actor, Actress and Screenplay). This a fantastically deep psychological thriller/horror which spawned alot of imitators.
#174 - The Brotherhood of the Wolf (2001)
An excellent blend of several genres all wrapped up in a period piece. It's a mystery, horror, adventure and action movie. It also stars the under-rated Mark Dacascos who is a very fine actor and martial artist.
#173 - Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai (1999)
Jim Jarmusch takes us on an off-beat journey with a mafia hit-man who follows the code of the samurai who is then targeted for death by his bosses. A unique blend of eastern mysticism and hip-hop flows together flawlessly.
#172 - Shrek (2001)
An hilarious blend of in-jokes for adults and kids alike. This CGI adventure pushes the boundaries of family films to it's limits.
#171 - Dancer in the Dark (2000)
Bjork puts a suprisingly sublime peformance in Lars Von Trier's dark musical. She is Selma a Czech immigrant who works hard to make money to keep son from going blind from the same disease she is inflicted with. Powerful and moving.
