I have not seen 4 of these movies yet, although I know they are considered some of his best, so I would say it is a pretty good list. I probably would change the order some to suit my preferences, and add his latest ones, Kick Ass, The Sorcerer's Apprentice and Bad Luietenant(sp?). I think they belong on a top 20 list which means I'd have to eliminate some of the others. Too hard!
Here is the list for those who can't see the clip.
20. Red Rock West 19. Knowing 18. City Of Angels 17. National Treasure 2 16. The Weather Man 15. Bringing Out The Dead 14. Con Air 13. Gone In 60 Seconds 12. National Treasure 11. The Family Man 10. Wild At Heart 9. Matchstick Men 8. Birdy 7. Moonstruck 6. Face/Off 5. The Rock 4. Raising Arizona 3. Lord Of War 2. Adaptation 1. Leaving Las Vegas
I agree with you Lady T, it's a superb list! I've never been able to narrow it down into a top anything...because as soon as I do another classic pops up in my head!
All of these movies are worthy of the Top 20...but so are all the rest! I immediately notice the absence of (and these are huge oversights for me) Vampire's Kiss, The Sorcerer's Apprentice, Bangkok Dangerous, 8MM , Ghost Rider, his 'sunshine trilogy',Kick Ass, Bad Lieutenant, Lord Of War, Snake Eyes,and ... What! no Valley Girl?!
