OZARK'S TOP 250 MOVIES: #100-#91

#100 - The Last Seduction (1994)
Linda Fiorentino is quite possibly the hottest woman on the planet and in this film noir she pratically burns off the screen. She plays the femme fatale Bridget Gregory a voracious man-eater playing a con. It is such a shame that this film was first shown on TV in the US which made ineligible for an Academy Award nomination that it rightly deserved.

#99 - Big Trouble in Little China (1986)
"It's all in the reflexes!"
Kurt Russell is at his coolest as Jack Burton, the all-american truck driver who is pulled into a mystical battle of the ages in Chinatown. Instantly quoteable and always enjoyable.

#98 - Batman Begins (2005)
Christopher Nolan brings the Batman franchise into the new millenium and with the help of Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne they reinvent the mythology showing the darker side of the Dark Knight. What is more amazing the incredible supporting cast they pulled together, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, Gary Oldman, Liam Neeson, Cillian Murphy and Tom Wilkinson all great actors. This represents a great year for comic book movies and a even better year for Frank Miller.

#97 - Evil Dead II (1987)
"Groovy."
The best of Raimi and Bruce Campbell's Evil Dead movies. This horror blends black comedy and gore into an exciting experience. Campbell's performance as Ash is over the top, outlandish and so completely tongue in cheek you can almost see him winking at the camera.

#96 - Swingers (1996)
"You're so money baby."
Vince Vaughn is the teacher and Jon Favereau is the student in the class of how to pick up chicks. Vaughn leads the way in trying to show his buddy how to get the girl. The script is hilarious and Vaughn is almost too beleiveable as the pick-up artist. This movie is so money.

#95 - Enemy at the Gates (2001)
One of the best WWII movies I have ever seen. It tells the story on the Eastern Front opening with the Battle of Stalingrad it drags you straight into the horror of war as the audience follows the duel between two snipers, Jude Law and Ed Harris.

#94 - Heathers (1989)
This wickedly funny high-school comedy has Winona Ryder trying to get in with the in-crowd whilst hanging out with a rebellious Christian Slater, who has a devious plan to restructure the social groupings at the school.

#93 - Six-String Samurai (1998)
"Float away little butterfly. Just flutter away."
A true guilty pleasure. This excellent campy post-apocalyptic adventure follows Buddy (Jeffrey Falcon) as he makes his way across the desert to 'Lost Vegas', which is now searching for a new king after the death of Elvis. A live action comic book samurai action adventure.

#92 - Swimming with Sharks (1994)
"You are nothing! If you were in my toilet I wouldn't bother flushing it. My bathmat means more to me than you!"
Another stand out performance from Kevin Spacey as the incredibly abusive movie producer Buddy Ackerman who is ends up being held captive and tortured by his trod-upon assistant played by Frank Whaley.

#91 - The Warriors (1979)
"I'll shove that bat up your ass and turn you into a popsicle."
Walter Hill found the novel that this is based on in a bookstore bargin rack. What he made out of it is great tale of a battle against adversity as one gang has to fight there way back home through New York. Each gang has it's own style and there are many including The Boppers, The Hi-Hats, The Riffs and of course the Warriors.
