Top 5 and top 10 lists are one of the most toughest things to do. I know Im definitely missing some brilliant stuff, Im going to try different genres, and here is my top 5, not in any particular order :

 

The Dark Knight

Only a handful of movies can keep you at the edge of the seat for the whole length of the movie, it becomes doubly difficult when the movie is almost 3 hrs long. Dark Knight does it superbly. There were almost 3 full scenes when I thought "Its over, lets go to pee", but no, it kept me watching and bloody thrilled also. And I also learn a valuable lesson of how to hold a pee for an incredibly long time, and not to wait to applaud for the best actor in the credits and get stuck in a crowd to pee, but instead, run to the toilet the lights come on.

 

The Shawshank Redemption

What drama, what emotion, what casting, what acting, what a brilliant brilliant brilliant ending. This a movie that has an increedibly lasting impact and its drama at its best. The way the audience gets their emotions driven and heart wrenched, its simply unbelievable. Brilliant stuff. Its definitely Morgan Freemans best, and thats saying a lot as hes a top actor who has acted in some of the best movies made.

 

Hot Fuzz

Rarely do you come across a movie with such a brilliant fusion of humour, mystery and a crime thrilling entertainer. Hot Fuzz does just that. British comedy at its best. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost rip apart this movie with clever comments and subtle jokes that often go missed. Infact, I still notice 1 or 2 jokes I missed before, everytime I rewatch it. Its got a superb-chilling storyline that really adds to a very very solid mystery-crime thriller category. Got a good bit of action also :D

 

Coach Carter

Im not an avid watcher of sports movies, but sometimes, when Im in the mood, I just settle down and go the distance. More often than not, I cant, I end up splitting the movie into 2 or 3 viewings as it doesnt appeal to me as much as other movies. Coach Carter was one of the first movies that did this to me. Samuel L Jackson delivers a very powerful performance that drives to the audience the importance of good mentor who understands difficulty, sorrow and victory. Its not something only for Basketball fans, infact, there is very little basketball. The casting couldnt have been more precise. The entire team was great. All of them pulled off their roles solidly to deliver a movie, that I consider, the best sports related movie.

 

The Departed

I love Scorcese movies. Probably the best director - PERIOD. But among all his movies, Goodfellas included, I probably loved The Departed the most. Matt Damon, DiCaprio, Jack Nicholson, Alec Baldwin, Mark Wahlberg, Sheen Sr.. No bloody way the movie can fail. And it doesnt, it delivers probably the most engrossing crime-thriller experiences Ive ever experienced. The story-line may not be original, ill reserve comparison with Infernal Affairs for later, but its just absolutely superb and executed perfectly. Its got superb supporting roles from all the people involved in the movie. Its one of those few movies where no character goes to waste. Everyone has a role and a bloody important one as well. This is probably one movie I could watch over and over and over again.

 

Foreign Languages - Oldboy

Difficult to choose between Oldboy and Cita De Deus, but I prefer Oldboy. One reason why I picked it? Its mind-friggin-blowing. I swear if I had eaten or something I would have thrown up. I cant say more without revealing anything, but what a bloody brilliant movie.
