Okay, this is the last kind of post I'm doing....
1. The Godfather Part I and II[1972 and 1974, Francis Ford Coppola]
I have mentioned these two films time in and time out in my lists, but I might as well say it again. There isn't much else to say about two of the greatest gangster flicks ever made so I'll just stop before I start to ramble......
2. Taxi Driver[1976, Martin Scorsese]
I'm sure we can all identify with "Taxi Driver''s anti-hero Travis Bickle, an alienated New York cab driver. Martin Scorsese creates a character so real it's frightening, and so frightening he's real. Great performance from Robert DeNiro.
3. Star Wars: A New Hope[1977, George Lucas]
I have also elaborated plenty on this film, that created a generation and legion of pop culture geek know-it-alls, as well as some of the most indetifiable characters in movie history. An epic sci-fi adventure that never dies out.
4. Jaws[1975, Steven Spielberg]
The film that made Spielberg an A-lister and made many people stay away from the water for quite some time. Spielberg's direction only adds to the psychological fear of the movie, as well as the suspense. A sure classic.
5. One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest[1975, Milos Forman]
Another one of those identifiable films that project many relateable issues. Insanity is only one of them[and I'm sure we all get a little crazy somtimes in the words of Norman Bates]. Jack Nicholson gives one of the greatest performances in his career, and makes one of the greatest characters as well.
6. Annie Hall[1977, Woody Allen]
Woody Allen's greatest film about love and destiny. You can expect some of the ironic Allen like humor throughout the film, but the best part comes through the fantastic writing and performances[Woody Allen and Diane Keaton].
7. Chinatown[1974, Roman Polanski]
Roman Polanski created such an atmospheric and spellbinding film. A great tale of murder, intrigue, and seduction, the film gives off light to many other films in the future[including 1997's L.A. Confidential] and boasts an incredible cast.
8. A Clockwork Orange[1971, Stanley Kubrick]
Another masterpiece from the visionary Stanley Kubrick, A Clockwork Orange is a brilliant, if not twisted[but what Kubrick film isn't?] film. The true icing on the cake comes from Kubrick's great direction and the film's intrigue.
9. The Exorcist[1973, William Friedkin]
Truly one of the most psychologically frightening films of all time, The Exorcist is a classic saga of the battle between good and evil and heaven and hell. Not only does it contains solid performances, it also contains an emotional, and spiritual wallop.
10. M*A*S*H[1970, Robert Altman]
Although turned into a successful TV show and based upon a book, Robert Altman's MASH rivals both in a sardonic, humorous tale of the shenanigans of First Aid war doctors. The real gems about this film is Altma's direction and the great writing.
