experience their journey to regain their
humanity in this beautifully directed
Best Picture winner are you a man who
once said death smiles it as well all a
man can do is smile back number 8
No Country for Old Men have any idea how
crazy you are
although the majority of this film’s
plot plays out as a cat-and-mouse chase
it’s also a masterfully executed neo
western thriller that put the Coen
brothers back in the limelight and made
the Academy flip the coin in their favor
would you hold still please with
psychotic characters and eerie
monologues each scene delivers
unexpected results as heavier bargains
bad guy is dead set on getting some drug
money back it also proves the Cohen’s
trademark of intertwining plot lines is
still a winning formula
number seven Casablanca is looking at
eel kid
considered by many as one of history’s
most perfect films Casablanca combines
enduring romance conspiracy bravery and
patriotism with beautiful cinematography
and breathtaking performances and places
it all in a wartime setting the Academy
was powerless to resist this movie
strength as cynical American expat Rick
Blaine chooses between an old flame and
what’s right love it seems as triumphed
over budge if you never watch this film
you’ll regret it maybe not today maybe
not tomorrow but soon and for the rest
of your life number six the departed

Shakespeare this is the film that scored
Martin Scorsese his long-awaited first
Oscar a 21st century take on gangster
hierarchy and police corruption in
Boston it trails Leonardo DiCaprio and
Matt Damon as they infiltrate each
other’s groups I just want my money and
I want to go home alright that’d be the
best thing I think for everybody fair
enough but the prize for most terrifying
undoubtedly goes to Jack Nicholson’s mob
boss Frank Costello I hope I won’t have
to remind you that if you don’t find
that cheese-eating rat bastard in your
department most likely it won’t be me
who suffers lathered in Goodfellas style
grittiness this film’s intricate plot
excellent acting and fantastic direction

bait
excuse me
got a date with some angels number five
One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest sorry
there’s pillow if mr. McMurphy doesn’t
want to take his medication orally I’m
sure we can arrange that he can have it
some other way
it’s difficult to watch this Ken Kesey
adaptation as it’s numbing backdrop
spooky sound track and freakishly
convincing characters create a
disturbing atmosphere we traveled down
the rabbit hole with jokester Murphy as
he serves an easy disciplinary sentence
in a mental institution but winds up
rebelling and making the lives of other
patients a little more well life like
about it you creep you live against
mental defectives let’s hear it for bull
goose Randall back in action nice shirt
Giroux on the strength of an electric
Jack Nicholson performance this Oscar
winner makes us question the viability
of extravagant blockbusters let’s raise
our hands up in the air just raise them

here up raise your hands up up that’s it
that’s it up all the way up all the way
up that’s a baby all right
number four Schindler’s List stop the
train yeah stop winning seven Oscars
this realistic retelling of German
businessman oskar schindler’s efforts to
save Jews from the Holocaust brought the
cinematic world to a standstill
the SS beat me up they would have killed
me but I’m essential to our effort
thanks to you that’s great Steven
Spielberg offers a critique on man’s
naive and inhuman tendencies in this
mostly black and white film as he traces
the transformation Schindler indoors
though the film will bring you to tears
it still manages to set forth an
optimistic story that leaves you feeling
hopeful the best well Webster please

number three The Silence of the Lambs
Lonnie this flick literally wrote the
book on thrillers based on a classic
Thomas Harris novel it was the first
horror movie to be named Best Picture
and it swept the big five categories
psychopathic screen legend Hannibal
Lecter teams up with Greene FBI agent
Clarice Starling to catch a serial
killer it places the lotion in the bass
and the resulting transvestite fantasies
skinned humans mind games and face
eating still makes us question our own
sanity I do wish we could chat longer
but I’m having an old friend
number two the Lord of the Rings The
Return of the King I see in your eyes
the same fear that would take the heart
of me a day may come when the courage of
men fails when we forsake our friends
and break all bonds of fellowship but it
is not this day
anyone who says fantasy epics can’t
deliver great storytelling has never
seen this Peter Jackson film tracing
both the hobbits journey to Mount Doom
as well as aragorn’s ferocious battles
this they refine the movie lets us
experience everything from lost limbs to

the ever-present threat of the one rings
power is finally dispatched the Academy

these
I love you
so you are no gentleman and you miss are
no lady oh we don’t think that I hold
that against you
number one The Godfather Part two this
is everything we love about gangster
flicks rolled into one
Francis Ford Coppola presents us with
the rise within the Mafia of both Vito
Corleone and his son Michael with strong
violence an intelligent screenplay
quotable phrases and realistic
confrontations that remind us of fly on
the wall documentaries aunt Angela is a
dead man
it’s one of the most significant films
of all time not to mention a cutthroat
and merciless take on the American dream
