OZARK'S TOP 250 MOVIES: #200-#191

#200 - Hedwig and the Angry Inch (2001)
An off Broadway musical turned movie by the original cast and writer. This "post punk neo-glam rock odyssey" is an vibrant rock musical. With great performances and even greater songs. A true gem.

#199 - Pale Rider (1985)
Clint Eastwood directs himself as the Preacher with no name that saves the old west mining town from the evil land owners. One of his best westerns.

#198 - Heat (1995)
The first on-screen teaming of De Niro and Pacino does not disappoint in Michael Mann's crime thriller epic.

#197 - Forrest Gump (1994)
A marvellous journey through American history with Tom Hanks as the mentally challenged Gump. "Life is like a box of chocolates." Indeed. This would definatley be the one with the caramel center.

#196 - A Clockwork Orange (1971)
"Vide well, vide well." Kubrick's tale of Malcolm McDowell and his fellow droogs is a very violent anti-violence story of finding redemption.

#195 - A Beautiful Mind (2001)
It seems Russell Crowe can do no wrong as he put in an effortlessly excellent performance in Ron Howard's biopic of John Nash.

#194 - The Fugitive (1993)
Harrison Ford is Dr Richard Kimble in this big screen remake of the classic TV series. Wrong accused of his wife's murder, Kimble sets about trying to prove his innocence.
"He had a mechanical arm!"

#193 & #192 - Matrix Reloaded (2003), Matrix Revolutions (2003)
The last 2 chapters in the Matrix trilogy fall short of the potential that was realised with the original. But they still set high standards in the sci-fi genre that demand to be watched.

#191 - Goldfinger (1964)
The best of the Bond movies and one high point in the career of Sean Connery.
"I'm Pussy Galore."
"I must be dreaming."
