OZARK'S TOP 250 MOVIES: #250-#241

So I get bored alot at work right now so I started making my Top 100 movie list and it got out of hand and I know have a top 500. Whilst I think it is too much to list all 500 I am going th IMDB route and posting my top 250 movies of all time. Please leave comments if you want.

#250 - The Transporter (2002)
Jason Statham rocks the screen as Frank Martin, the bad-ass driver for hire in this over the top, but in a great way, Corey Yuen actioner.

#249 - The Sixth Sense (1999)
M Night Shyamalan directoral debut was the surprise hit of 1999 and rightly so. The movie's excellent use of suspense and scares without the usual horror overtones, plus the adding of the 'big twist' bring it forth as a modern classic.

#248 - Enter the Dragon (1973)
Bruce Lee kicks and chops his way through Mr Han's tournament with the help Black Belt Jones star Jim Kelly and John Saxon.

#247 - Layer Cake (2004)
The New James Bond Daniel Craig shows here why he deserves the role. He plays the cool-headed gangster with no name in this fine example of British movie-making.

#246 - Moulin Rouge (2001)
Baz Luhrmann reinvents the movie musical in this bright and beautiful rendition of the classic tale of lovers torn apart. Who knew Ewan McGregor could sing.

#245 - Pirates of the Carribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)
Johnny Depp single handedly created one of the all time great movie charaters in the eye-liner wearing Jack Sparrow. A movie that is now spawning two sequels.

#244 - Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998)
Guy Ritchie made his own name with this movie whilst making a star of soccer player Vinnie Jones. The now quintessential modern Brit gangster film.

#243 - Underworld (2003)
An eternal war between Vampires and the Lycan (werewolves) is brought to life in this excellent action-horror. A new star is born in Scott Speedman as Michael Corvin the human turned Vampire-Lycan hybrid.

#242 - The Sting (1973)
Robert Redford and Paul Newman were reteamed in front of the camera by director George Roy Hill for this brilliant tale of the ultimate big con.

#241 - The Guns of Navarone (1961)
Gregory Peck, David Niven and Anthony Quinn head up a stellar cast in this story of a mission impossile or sorts. As a team of six Allied troops try to destroy the heavily defended guns.
