| | 100 Great Movies: 91-100 | |

91. Joy Luck Club Moving, powerful drama about four mothers and their eldest daughters. Through a series of flashbacks, their lives are retold and we something of the pains, struggles, fears, joys, hopes and dreams that are a part of the human experience. more... 92. Malcolm X A Spike Lee triumph. Denzel Washington was robbed of his Oscar for Best Actor. This movie is quite simply an excellent, surprisingly evenhanded, portrayal of an American icon. more... 93. Lion in Winter Bitting wit delivered with near-perfect line delivery by a superb cast: Peter O'Toole reprises the role of Henry II; Katharine Hepburn plays Eleanor of Aquitaine; and, Anthony Hopkins (Prince Richard) and Timothy Dalton (Philip II) make their silver-screen debuts. more... |

94. Full Metal Jacket Not Kubrick's greatest movie nor the best Vietnam war movie but still well-crafted and intense, especially in the first half. Interestingly, the original music is by Abigail Mead, an alias for Vivian Kubrick. more... 95. Lolita Adrian Lyne can always rest in the knowledge that his adaptation of Nabokov's controversial book is better than Kubrick's adaptation. However, if he were honest with himself, he'd acknowledge that it is primarily due to the outstanding performances by Jeremy Irons and Dominique Swain not his direction. more... 96. Killing One of Kubrick's first feature films (preceeded by Killer's Kiss and Fear and Desire) is a classic film noir that centers around the planning and execution of a racetrack heist. Great camera work and an involving, fast-paced story. more... |

97. Godfather Part III While considerably weaker than its two predecessors, it nonetheless features some the trilogy's best and most memorable lines. In my opinion, the confession scene between Michael Corleone and the Cardinal is one the trilogy's most profound and as such, greatest scenes. more... 98. Titus To take one of Shakespeare's worst plays and turn it into this movie is a feat of genius. The intermelding of Fascist and Imperial Rome provides insight into the nature of the violence in the play. Anthony Hopkins gives a career performance, which leaves you wishing he would do more Shakespeare. Artistic values are simply outstanding. more... 99. Tora! Tora! Tora! Retelling of the infamous Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, interweaves the Japanese story (originally directed by Kurosawa, who left the project) and the American story. Suspenseful and well-crafted historical drama. more... 100. Aguirre, Wrath of God A film by the acclaimed German director Werner Herzog is a hypnotic story of greed and power. Shares close affinities with Apocalypse Now, of which it may have been a source of inspiration. Klaus Kinski is perfectly cast as the maniacal Aguirre. more... |
