OZARK'S TOP 250 MOVIES: #190-#181
#190 - Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)
James Cameron yet again reset the bar of special effects film-making in the sequel to his original 80s movie which made a star of the Governator.
#189 - The Passion of the Christ (2004)
Mel Gibson's tale of the last days of Christ was shamefully overlooked at the Oscars but what he made here is a powerful and bold movie.
#188 - Men in Black (1997)
It isn't hip-hop star Will Smith, the special effects or the excellent script that make this film great. It is Tommy Lee Jones his straight-faced low key turn as Agent K is the perfect foil for Smith's Agent J's boundless energy.
#187 - The Breakfast Club (1985)
"Don't you forget about me." is how the song goes. The reply to this is simply that I can never forget the day I spent in detention with the cast of John Hughes' comedy. One of the key movies of the mid-80s.
#186 - The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951)
"Klaatu barada nikto!". An alien shows up on Earth and tells us if we don't change our violent ways that our planet will be destroyed. The anti-war message of this classic black and white sci-fi still holds true 50 years later
#185 - The Great Escape (1963)
Based on a true story this movie tells the tale of the largest Allied escape from a German POW camp during WWII. From Steve McQueen as the cooler king Hilts to that opening theme music this film warrants all the praise it gets.
#184 - The Last of the Mohicans (1992)
Michael Mann's epic story of forbidden love during the French/Indian War is a much under-rated and overlooked movie. The photography is stunning throughout, as typical with most Mann movies and the performances from Daniel Day Lewis and Madelaine Stowe are classic.
#183 - Annie Hall (1977)
The film that won the Best film oscar in 77, beating out Star Wars, is definately the finest example of Woody Allen's moviemaking skills. A brilliant writer and director, but I've always felt his acting range is some what limited.
#182 - Saving Private Ryan (1998)
Often shockingly violent this is Spielberg's emmotional taunt story of a mission whose goal is pratically suicidal. Is one man's life worth that of many? We are taken from gripping sequence to gripping sequence as Spielberg flexes his directorial skills.
#181 - Finding Nemo (2003)
Pixar's film of the little fish that was lost takes the viewer on a marvellous journey through the gorguous underwater world created on computers. Often funny, sometimes sad, always excellent.
