OZARK'S TOP 250 MOVIES: #210-#201

#210 - From Russia With Love (1963)
The second Bond movie produced is also the third best one.

#209 - Training Day (2001)
"King Kong ain't got shit on me!!" yells Denzel's corrupt cop. Well King Kong doesn't have shit on this movie, as Ethan Hawke's training day becomes the learning experience of a life time.

#208 - Boogie Nights (1997)
Mark Whalberg is Dirk Diggler but the real star is his prostetic screen mate. Paul Thomas Anderson's faux biopic is as funny as it is a real look into lives of porn stars.

#207 - Edward Scissorhands (1990)
Johnny Depp is the title character in Tim Burton's loveingly crafted dark-comedy of innocence and love.

#206 - On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969)
Bond gets emotions. George Lazenby, although not a great actor, got to take Bond to a new level for his one appearance. His Bond was more violent but yet had a heart which eventually got broken. Love, loss and was that Kojak?

#205 - Superman II (1980)
The more action orientated sequel bests the original taking the story through a Metropolis without Superman through to his return. General Zod rules.

#204 - Office Space (1999)
Before BBC's The Office there was this. We've all had bosses like Gary Cole that what makes this movie so funny.

#203 - In the Line of Fire (1993)
If there is one thing that Eastwood does well is the over the hill guy who can still get the job done when it counts. In this case it means taking down John Malkovich's nutjob presidential assassin.

#202 - Near Dark (1987)
Perenial James Cameron movie stars Lance Henriksen, Jennette Goldstein and Bill Paxton appear as vampires in this fantastic dark road movie from Kathryn Bigelow.

#201 - Red Rock West (1992)
A great example of modern film noir. Nicolas Cage is a drifter mistaken for a hitman by bar owner JT Walsh, who wants Cage to kill his wife. Dennis Hopper is excellent as the real hitman.
