OZARK'S TOP 250 MOVIES: #230-#221

#230 - Young Frankenstein (1974)
Mel Brooks' hilarious take on the classic Mary Shelley story. Just remember it's pronouced "FRONK-N-STEEN"

#229 - Escape From New York (1981)
The eye patch wearing mercenary Snake Plisken is born as he is asked to rescue the President from New York, now a high security prison island.

#228 - Witness (1985)
The tage line was simply "Harrison Ford is John Book". You couldn't get simpler than that but what is placed on screen is a thriller with more heart than should be expected.

#227 - Marathon Man (1976)
"Is it safe?". No. Is it great? Yes

#226 - Young Guns (1988)
Emilio Estevez immortalises Billy the Kid and redefines westerns in this younger take on the classic genre. Gone are the usual grizzled gunslingers and here are the young good-looking ones.

#225 - Back to the Future Part III (1990)
The final part in the trilogy is 4 parts western, 1 part sci-fi as our hero Marty McFly is sent back in time to 1888 to save Doc Brown.

#224 - Superman (1978)
In our hearts Christopher Reeves will always be Superman.

#223 - Crimson Tide (1995)
Plenty of screw-chewing acting from Hackman and Washington elevates this submarine movie out of the depths and breaks the surface.

#222 - Mr Smith Goes to Washington (1939)
James Stewart is the everyman who gets a place in the US senate where he strives fight the corruption in this Frank Capra classic.

#221 - 101 Dalmatians (1961)
One of Disney many fine moments which brings to life a truly great cinematic villian in Cruella De Vil
