역대 위대한 영화500 (200-101) - 엠파이어선정

The 500 greatest movies of all time 200-101 

200 Before Sunrise (1995) Director: Richard Linklater The soppy/sophisticated two-hander plays as affecting tribute to young love, lent real emotional heft in retrospect by the nine-years-later sequel. Read Review 199 The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) Director: Tobe Hooper A DIY shocker that prefigured 몋orture porn� by 30 years...Less blood and butchery than you actually think, but it뭩 how the tone and texture make you feel: violated, terrified, exhilarated.Read Review 198 Fargo (1996) Director: Joel & Ethan Coen The homespun murder story that finally wrought the Brothers� Kook Oscar recognition, and though their "it뭩 true" claims proved mischievous, Frances McDormand's warm, up-the-duff rozzer makes it feel real. Read Review 197 Point Break (1991) Director: Kathryn Bigelow Before Neo there was Johnny Utah: young, dumb and full of come-on, can뭪-you-spot-the-subtext? beauty. Surfin� and stealin�, buddy beefcakes Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze forge the ultimate bromance. Read Review 196 Cover Movie View Cover Am�ie (1999) Director: Jean-Pierre Jeunet Jeunet's perfectly pitched little charmer is one for wistful romantics everywhere. It also offers an object lesson in how to be a better person. To wit... Read Review

195 Cover Movie View Cover It뭩 A Wonderful Life (1946) Director: Frank Capra The ultimate Christmas movie, and Capra뭩 most enduring � even if it was a flop on release. Read Review

194 Bicycle Thieves (1948) Director: Vittorio De Sica An impoverished father뭩 job depends on his bicycle, which some street-bastard steals. On an increasingly desperate Sunday, trailed by his young son, he tries to get the bike back. De Sica뭩 neo-realist breakthrough is as much weepie as social drama. The climax still makes strong men cry buckets...Read Review 192 Cover Movie View Cover Eraserhead (1977) Director: David Lynch A rare �70s film completely divorced from its times � the solemnly lost Henry (Jack Nance) would be as out of place anywhere as he is in the industrial pocket-universe of the film. Read Review

193 Ed Wood (1994) Director: Tim Burton Burton and Johnny Depp collaborate to tell the story of the world뭩 worst filmmaker, but elevate him to heroic status by exploring his world of misfits and cut-price magic.Read Review 191 Brokeback Mountain (2005) Director: Ang Lee Gay love story, end-of-the-trail Western, auteur work from Lee, faithful literary adaptation and showcase for two hot male stars of 2005. Not bad. Read Review

190 Big (1988) Director: Penny Marshall These days, when a Tom Hanks film comes with a) an Academy Award win, b) a 멏irected By Steven Spielberg� credit, and c) Meg Ryan, it뭩 easy to forget what a great comedic actor the man is. And perhaps the standout of his comedy canon is Big, the best �80s body-swap movie, directed by Marshall and written by another Spielberg (sister Anne). Hanks beautifully plays Josh as a kid playing an adult, never losing sight of the childish delights and insecurities of being young. These days, he may specialise in everymen under enormous duress (Cast Away, The Terminal) but here he is deft, light-fingered and ultimately extraordinarily moving. Read Review

189 Cover Movie View Cover Ghostbusters (1984) Director: Ivan Reitman Imagine National Lampoon doing H. P. Lovecraft, with a hit theme song. This sees Bill Murray at his driest, Sigourney Weaver in a slit, red evening dress, and the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man invading New York. Read Review 187 The Big Country (1958) Director: William Wyler A cowboy epic, memorable for Gregory Peck뭩 lengthy fist-fight with Charlton Heston (in a rare, interesting bad- guy role) and expansive visions of wide, open spaces accompanied by a memorable hit theme tune. Read Review

188 School Of Rock (2003) Director: Richard Linklater Linklater뭩 most commercial outing to date is, appropriately, his most popular � mainly thanks to his surprisingly unannoying school-kid cast and the fact that he allows Jack Black loose in the actor/comedian/ musician뭩 comfort zone.Read Review 186 United 93 (2006) Director: Paul Greengrass The simplest and most affecting 9/11 film. Paul Greengrass recreates the events, focusing on the 멹ourth plane� which didn뭪 strike its target, in an austere manner as a thrum of tension builds.Read Review

185 Paths Of Glory (1957) Director: Stanley Kubrick With recent events in Iraq, the relevance of Paths Of Glory grows year on year. Kirk Douglas excels as Colonel Dax, defending three soldiers up for court martial, to cover up a military mistake on World War I뭩 Western Front. The film was banned in France until 1975, yet is far more anti-establishment than it is anti-war or anti-France. If unsung Kubrick, it뭩 the first movie to reveal the director뭩 true colours, blessed with a cool, intellectual thrill, spare economical characterisation and precise tracking shots. Cementing Kubrick뭩 relationship with Douglas, it led to him taking over Spartacus, but more importantly, in the small role of 멒erman Singer�, Kubrick found Christiane Harlan, who became his wife up until his death. Sometimes, war is swell. Read Review

184 Cover Movie View Cover Dirty Harry (1971) Director: Don Siegel The great Clint cop picture, introducing soulless San Francisco dick Harry Callahan, only bearable because the guy he is after is even worse. Features the best badge-tossing since High Noon. Read Review		183 Le Samourai (1967) Director: Jean-Pierre Melville La Samourai is the figurehead of Melville's career, the story a lone assassin (Alain Delon) whose rigid code is undone by the unforeseen arrival of love. It's a stalwart theme now, but no film has done it so sparely and tragically.		182 Performance (1970) Director: Donald Cammell, Nic Roeg Roeg and Cammell fused sensibilities as much as gangster James Fox and rocker Mick Jagger do in this acid-tinged freak-out. Read Review		181 Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls (1970) Director: Russ Meyer Nudie-filmmaker Meyer runs riot with a studio budget, assaulting Jacqueline Susann's trash novel with demented brio and kookily square psychedelia. Read Review		180 To Kill A Mockingbird(1962) Director: Robert Mulligan A quiet, careful, affecting adaption of Harper Lee's nostalgic novel. Robert Duvall made an unforgettable debut as neighbourhood bogeyman Boo Radley. Read Review
179 Cover Movie View Cover Toy Story 2 (1999) Director: John Lasseter One of the best sequels ever, it has more action, spotlights fresh new characters while taking the established ones into new territory, and discovers something tragic in a child growing out of toys.Read Review		178 Hellzapoppin' (1941) Director: H.C. Potter One of the darnedest films ever made, and a template for the who-cares-if-it- makes-sense-so-long-as- it's-funny? mode of comedy. Read Review		177 City Of God (2002) Director: Fernando Meirelles, K찼tia Lund A confident, complicated epic following decades of criminal life in a Rio de Janeiro favela, this is considerably more than 'the GoodFellas of Brazil'. Read Review		176 A Canterbury Tale (1944) Director: Michael Powell, Emeric Pressburger Powell and Pressburger's least-understood, most magical film. Its story may be incoherent and 'unpleasant', but its characters and moods are unforgettable and endlessly mysterious. Read Review		175 Rushmore (1998) Director: Wes Anderson Max Fischer (Jason Schwartzman) is the sort of kid every school has, but who was hitherto unseen in teen movies - a smart, semi-geeky boy who polarises the school by being at once disturbingly weird and a fashion leader. Read Review

174 Cover Movie View Cover Superman The Movie (1978) Director: Richard Donner Believing a man can fly is only half of it � Donner took a comic-book character seriously and came up with four different styles (sci-fi, nostalgia, rom-com, special-effects action) to reach the broadest demographic. Read Review

173 Memento (2000) Director: Christopher Nolan That rare thing, a truly original thriller. Told backwards, a device which Nolan - already working with dark detectives and conjuring tricks - handles with flair. Read Review

172 Cover Movie View Cover The Wizard Of Oz (1939) Director: Victor Fleming Forget the no-place-like-home cop-out at the end and enjoy Judy's heartbreaking Over The Rainbow, the many classic characters and the "horse of a different colour".Read Review 170 La Haine (1995) Director: Mathieu Kassovitz Kassovitz's debut, and his moment of glory: a fantastically shot tale of friendship and violence on the streets of suburban Paris. You'd never have guessed he'd go on to make silly Vin Diesel films...Read Review

171 Brief Encounter (1945) Director: David Lean One of the movies' greatest romances is understated and unconsummated. Writer Noel Coward camps slightly, but David Lean and the stars mean every perfectly enunciated syllable. Read Review 169 Viridiana (1961) Director: Luis Bunuel A striking exercise in blasphemy, down to the sacrilegious recreation of Leonardo's Last Supper. Read Review

168 Tootsie (1982) Director: Sydney Pollack Dustin Hoffman makes a great statement for feminism by dressing up as a woman and realising that they don't have a great time in the entertainment industry. Read Review 166 Cover Movie View Cover Goldfinger (1964) Director: Guy Hamilton Goldfinger gets Sean Connery's 007 away from the Cold War to play with gonad-targeted lasers, gilded girls, mad millionaires, killer bowler hats and Honor Blackman's Pussy. Read Review

167 Don't Look Now (1973) Director: Nic Roeg Arty, scary, sexy. An air of dread, unrelieved by the famous sex scene, paid off with one of the scariest serial killers in cinema. Read Review 165 Partie De Campagne (1936) Director: Jean Renoir A brief feature, abandoned by Jean Renoir during the 1930s but revisited and edited together after the War � a trifle, perfectly played and with a lovely, riverside feel. Renoir claimed he made it solely to take close-ups of lead actress Sylvia Bataille.

164 Cover Movie View Cover The Searchers (1956) Director: John Ford John Wayne뭩 magnificent and terrifying obsession is to track down his kidnapped niece. Ford's is to turn the Western into American poetry. Read Review

163 The Bridge On The River Kwai (1957) Director: David Lean An intelligent tale of misguided pride among a group of British POWs who have been co-opted into building a railway bridge for the Japanese army, this is Lean mixing epic visuals with true complexity. Read Review 162 A Nightmare On Elm Street (1984) Director: Wes Craven A new breed of cinematic killer who literally climbed inside your dreams, Freddy Krueger was a truly scary creation, with Craven riffing on almost Jungian fear of what sleep might bring. Read Review

161 The Year Of Living Dangerously (1982) Director: Peter Weir It뭩 testament to the power of Weir뭩 superior political thriller-romance that it was banned in Indonesia, where its events take place, until 1999. Starring a never-more-dashing Mel Gibson as foreign correspondent Guy Hamilton and Sigourney Weaver as British Embassy official Jill Bryant, it뭩 set during an attempted 1965 coup against the brutal Sukarno regime. Often compared to Costa-Gavras� Missing, released the same year, it brilliantly captures the knife-edge tension of its setting. It is also notable for one of the most extraordinary performances of the �80s � actress Linda Hunt뭩 portrayal of a male Chinese-Australian dwarf named Billy Kwan. It was a role that, quite rightly, won her an Oscar. Read Review

160 Being There (1979) Director: Hal Ashby Heartfelt comedy and biting social satire with Peter Sellers (in his last role) as Chance, a guileless child-man whose simple pronouncements on tending a garden are taken as profound insights into the nature of the world. 159 The Royal Tenenbaums(2001) Director: Wes Anderson And you thought your family was crazy� Anderson뭩 eccentric, hilarious and moving dramedy about the world뭩 most dysfunctional clan is almost too quirky for its own good. Almost. Read Review

158 Unforgiven (1992) Director: Clint Eastwood Clint had been messing with the Western myth since he first chewed a cigar for Sergio Leone, but here he exploded it, his moody, complex masterpiece dealing unblinkingly with the frontier뭩 ugliest, most violent side. Read Review

157 True Romance (1993) Director: Tony Scott Working from Quentin Tarantino뭩 script and surrounding himself with the cream of Hollywood뭩 hip elite, Scott뭩 eye for visual tomfoolery has never had a better fit than with this delirious crime/love story. Read Review 156 Saving Private Ryan (1998) Director: Steven Spielberg From the shockingly visceral Normandy Landings opening to the final devastating battle in a destroyed French village, Spielberg뭩 epic redefined how cinema should interpret the battlefields of history. Read Review

155 Badlands (1973) Director: Terrence Malick Loosely based on the real-life murder spree of Charles Starkweather and Caril Ann Fugate, Malick뭩 debut is a tribute to the untamed wilderness and a hazy ode to crazy love. Read Review 154 Betty Blue (1986) Director: Jean-Jacques Beineix The original title for this steamy Gallic thriller � translated as 37캜, Two In The Morning � sums it all up. Hot, sweaty and passionate, it couldn뭪 be more French if it tried. Read Review 153 The Innocents (1961) Director: Jack Clayton Based on Henry James� The Turn Of The Screw, Clayton뭩 psychological Gothic horror is a masterpiece of subtle implication over blatant gore. This has a strong shout as Blighty's best chiller. 152 Boogie Nights (1997) Director: Paul Thomas Anderson The rise-and-fall of a skin-flick entourage is explored in intimate detail in Anderson뭩 star-studded homage to the success and excesses of the �70s porn industry. More a film about family than rutting on celluloid. Read Review 151 Cover Movie View Cover Gladiator (2000) Director: Ridley Scott "Are you not entertained?" With Russell Crowe in full-on wronged-warrior mode, Scott evoking the lost majesty of ancient Rome and more bloody violence than you can shake a trident at. Yes, we are. Read Review

150 The French Connection (1971) Director: William Friedkin Based on the infamous drug trafficking case of the same name, Friedkin뭩 electric, documentary-style thriller is a gritty triumph of style and intelligent plotting bolstered by a career-defining turn from Gene Hackman as committed narc Popeye Doyle. Read Review

149 The Red Shoes (1948) Directors: Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger Based on the story by Hans Christian Andersen, P&P's tale about a woman born to dance and the various tragedies that befall her is as beautiful as it is heartbreaking. A true British masterpiece.Read Review

148 Z (1969) Director: Costa-Gavras A thinly fictionalised account of the assassination of a democratic Greek politician in 1963, Costa-Gavras' respected film takes a swipe at Greek politics and the military dictatorship that ruled the country. 146 Shampoo (1975) Director: Hal Ashby While it was set during a period of extraordinary governmental strife, this Nixon-era satire is more concerned with the arena of sexual politics, as Warren Beatty's cocky hairstylist shags his way around the wives of the rich and famous.

147 Notorious (1946) Director: Alfred Hitchcock Hitchcock's saucy (for the time) thriller stars Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman, who excel as a government agent and a socialite who become entangled during an espionage operation. Read Review 145 Sophie's Choice (1982) Director: Alan J. Pakula A difficult story told with suitable reverence, Pakula's tale of the ultimate Catch-22 scenario may be difficult to watch, but it sure is rewarding. Not least for some solid-gold Streeping.

144 There Will Be Blood (2007) Director: Paul Thomas Anderson Very loosely based on Upton Sinclair뭩 novel Oil!, this tale of greed and religion is all about one man. Daniel Day-Lewis� performance is a powerhouse strong enough to clear out all them thar hills... 밒 drink your milkshake. I drink it UP!�Read Review

143 Cyrano De Bergerac (1991) Director: Jean-Paul Rappeneau There뭩 a moment in this sumptuous 17th century swashbuckler that sums up why the doughy-faced G�ard Depardieu is a star and a sex symbol. Blessed with a fierce talent for both war and words, his Cyrano is also cursed with a nose that precedes him by 15 minutes � so he dares not confess his love for the beautiful Roxane (Anne Brochet). After she asks his help to protect the gorgeous boy she loves, and commends his bravery in recently defeating 100 men, as she rushes out, he mutters, 밢h, I뭭e been braver since then,� with such quiet heartbreak in his voice that it뭗 make a stone weep. The story뭩 been told many times � as Steve Martin뭩 Roxanne, The Truth About Cats & Dogs, even Ratatouille � but Rappeneau뭩 epic is the truest take on Edmond Rostand뭩 famous play. It may be melodrama, sweeping rather than creeping in its conclusions, but it뭩 a thing of brash, glorious, poignant emotion. Read Review

142 Almost Famous (2000) Director: Cameron Crowe A semi-autobiographical tale about sex, drugs and Rolling Stone based on Cameron Crowe뭩 teenage memories, this is to rock 뭤� roll what GoodFellas was to gangsters. Read Review 140 As Good As It Gets (1997) Director: James L. Brooks With a catalogue of misanthropes and psychopaths filling up his r�um�, Jack Nicholson fits the role of brash obsessive-compulsive Melvin Udall like a glove, and it뭩 his winning depiction of a man fighting his own neurosis that actually humanises it.

141 Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs (1937) Director: David Hand Hollywood뭩 first full-length animated feature, Snow White still works and still whistles. Enough to make ol� Uncle Walt proud. Read Review 139 Blow Out (1981) Director: Brian De Palma Playing like The Conversation with added sound effects, De Palma뭩 paranoia-packed piece finds John Travolta뭩 movie-effects technician accidentally capturing audio evidence of an assassination plot. Read Review

138 Cool Hand Luke (1967) Director: Stuart Rosenberg While cinema history is chock-full of renegade types who love to buck the system, none are as cool as Luke. Paul Newman at his charismatic, blue-eyed best. Read Review

137 Dances With Wolves (1990) Director: Kevin Costner Initially thought to be a costly folly, Costner put his career on the line for this frontier epic and was justly rewarded. It is a Western, certainly, but also a romance between a man and an idea of lost America. Read Review 136 Amadeus (1984) Director: Milos Forman The genius Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is a bumptious rube, which is agony for the lesserly gifted but oh-so-aware composer Antonio Salieri.Read Review 135 Duck Soup (1933) Director: Leo McCarey The Marx Brothers took their anarchic comedy to a whole new level with this delirious blend of physical foolishness and astonishing wordplay. It marked the end of their time at Paramount, but what a way to bow out. Read Review 134 Cover Movie View Cover Seven (1995) Director: David Fincher Fincher went from the man-who-ruined-the-Alien-franchise to the darling of shock cinema, with this extraordinary serial killer hit. It wasn뭪 just the amoral jolt of the twist ending � this was a tableau of Gothic horror and spiritual unease.Read Review 133 Double Indemnity (1944) Director: Billy Wilder Fred MacMurray and Barbara Stanwyck plot murder, but Billy Wilder makes sure they suffer for it � with Stanwyck at her sexiest, crackling Raymond Chandler dialogue, and a perfect mix of scalding sunshine and the shadowed L.A. night.Read Review

132 Cover Movie View Cover Pan's Labyrinth (2006) Director: Guillermo del Toro Guillermo del Toro fuses personal and commercial interests with a tale of the power of fairy tale, even against the grimmest of political settings: the Spanish Civil War. Read Review

131 The Last Of The Mohicans (1992) Director: Michael Mann Lush historical adventure with Daniel Day-Lewis something between noble savage and a 17th century Rambo as trapper hero Hawkeye. Mann gets an authentic feel and real excitement out of canoe chases, woodland dashes, swooning romance, tomahawks, bloody scalping, and firework-display battles. Read Review 130 The Man Who Would Be King (1975) Director: John Huston In Huston's steady, calloused hands, this Rudyard Kipling yarn becomes a rip-roaring adventure, its central buddy-buddy dynamic as entertaining as you could expect from the pairing of Brit stalwarts Connery and Caine. Read Review 129 Harvey (1950) Director: Henry Koster James Stewart's genial alcoholic talks to an invisible six-foot rabbit, but seems the only sane person in the film. Harvey the rabbit entered pop culture, and Stewart rated this his best role - if not best film. Read Review 128 Cover Movie View Cover Lost In Translation (2003) Director: Sofia Coppola Coppola, Murray and Johansson gain enough goodwill to sustain their careers through rocky decisions in this perfect almost-romance about a fading star and a neglected wife bonding in a Japanese hotel. Read Review 127 The Sting (1973) Director: George Roy Hill A wholly delightful romp, with crisp '30s fashions and Scott Joplin's ragtime music setting off the '70s glamour of Redford and Newman as two arch-grifters pulling an elaborate con to get revenge on scowling Robert Shaw. Read Review 126 Pat Garrett And Billy The Kid (1973) Director: Sam Peckinpah Arguably Peckinpah's masterpiece. Sequences of violence are interspersed with tenderly beautiful, melancholy moments, scored by Bob Dylan songs.

125 Cover Movie View Cover A Bout De Souffle (1960) Director: Jean-Luc Godard Godard뭩 seminal Nouvelle Vague movie. Jean-Paul Belmondo cops Bogart attitude as a cool, vicious petty crook; Jean Seberg models a major haircut as his American girlfriend, and Paris just shines. At once clever and exuberant. Read Review

124 Cover Movie View Cover The Silence Of The Lambs(1991) Director: Jonathan Demme The first film to scoop the Oscars and the Chainsaw awards. Scrape those sorry cash-ins away and you뭠l find a deeply scary study in terror. Read Review 123 A Woman Under The Influence (1974) Director: John Cassavetes A housewife cracks up and makes appalling, random verbal attacks on family and friends. The camera hovers so close that you emerge with an uncomfortable idea of what it must be like to live with this woman. Read Review 122 The Princess Bride (1987) Director: Rob Reiner This may be the most widely quoted obscure film in history, because it뭩 the one that even your sister can recite at length. William Goldman뭩 perfectly parodic script both nails the adventure and romance of heroic adventures while ripping the piss out of them. It뭩 funny, it뭩 smart, it뭩 perfectly cast, and has immense, unstoppable charm. Without this, no Shrek, no Enchanted. Director Rob Reiner mentioned on a recent commentary that one of New York kingpin John Gotti뭩 gangsters once walked up to him and quoted the never-bettered, 밳ou killed my father, prepare to die� � nearly giving the director a heart attack. As he says, 밯hen one of Gotti뭩 wiseguys is quoting your lines, you know you뭭e penetrated the culture.� Indeed. The only question is, how on Earth is this outside the top 100? Read Review 121 Los Olvidados (1950) Director: Luis Bu�el Once deemed a French surrealist, Bu�el re-established himself as a Mexican realist � though this tale of slum delinquents, which makes Eden Lake look like The Railway Children, is as much horror story as social document. 120 The Battle Of Algiers(1966) Director: Gillo Pontecorvo A rare triumph of political cinema, depicting colonial oppression, terrorist strikes against civilians, Western occupying forces resorting to torture, and a general uprising without apparently taking sides. Still vivid and relevant.

119 The Wages Of Fear (1953) Director: Henri-Georges Clouzot Four losers drive trucks loaded with unstable nitro across treacherous jungle roads. It takes a full hour to introduce its characters, before turning the screws unbearingly, twisting round hairpin bends, over rocky ground, and into oil slicks. Read Review		118 Cover Movie View Cover Withnail And I (1987) Director: Bruce Robinson Truly funny, truly cult: fans can mouth the words of Richard E. Grant뭩 speeches along with him, relishing every viperish turn of phrase and perfectly pronounced curse. A beloved British oddity never repeated. Read Review		117 Miller's Crossing (1990) Director: Joel and Ethan Coen The Coens in Dashiell Hammett gangster territory, recounting the near-tragedy of an honourable crook undone by a single gesture of mercy. Finney sees off hitmen with a Thompson while smoking a cigar and listening to Danny Boy in a bravura sequence of Coen magic. Read Review		116 Rio Bravo (1959) Director: Howard Hawks Hawks� Western is at once roundabout � with time-outs for songs and Angie Dickinson in tights � and a model of suspense, as John Wayne, Dean Martin and Walter Brennan hole up in a town jail besieged by the bad hats. Read Review		115 Blazing Saddles (1974) Director: Mel Brooks Brooks invented scattershot movie parody with this cowboy outrage (we get less grateful everytime a Meet The Spartans or Disaster Movie opens). Highlights: a classic theme song and the Ben-Hur chariot race of flatulence scenes. Read Review
114 The Conversation (1974) Director: Francis Ford Coppola A Watergate-era analysis of paranoid high-tech eavesdroppers, it뭩 also a great thriller with a clever plot twist and a riveting, underplayed central performance from Gene Hackman. Read Review		113 Anchorman: The Legend Of Ron Burgundy (2004) Director: Adam McKay Will Ferrell뭩 breakout vehicle homages the fashion, music and sexual politics of the �70s, with a smarmily self-confident TV newsreader threatened by a female rival. Major plus � it뭩 not about a stupid sport. Read Review		112 I Am Cuba (1964) Director: Mikhail Kalatozov Russian helmer Kalatozov unsurprisingly reveals the source of Cuba뭩 ache for revolution via a quartet of stories set in Batista뭩 Cuba. Yes, it뭩 Communist propaganda, but also a technical marvel. Read Review		111 Fitzcarraldo (1982) Director: Werner Herzog A crazed Klaus Kinski brings opera to the jungle � by pulling a steamer over a mountain, obviously. As ambitious, visually stunning and plain old insane as cinema gets, this is Herzog뭩 masterwork. Read Review		110 Before Sunset (2004) Director: Richard Linklater Before Sunrise, ten years on. Celine (Julie Delpy) and Jesse (Ethan Hawke) meet again, briefly, getting another chance to talk about love. How many sequels are made for artistic reasons and add meaning, rather than strip it away? Read Review

109 Touch Of Evil (1958) Director: Orson Welles A grimy border noir toplining Charlton Heston and Janet Leigh, but showcasing director Orson Welles in his greatest acting role as a gross, doomed, crooked cop who is still a titan hobbled by lesser men. Read into that what you will. Read Review 108 The Tree Of Wooden Clogs (1978) Director: Ermanno Olmi A masterpiece among 'suffering peasant' films. Various farmers in Lombardy have a hard time, tinged by everyday wonder, as they work the land in the early 20th century. Mike Leigh's favourite. Read Review 107 An American Werewolf In London (1981) Director: John Landis Landis offers a still-amazing pre-CGI metamorphosis, observations on British strangeness, Jenny Agutter in the shower, nightmare Nazis and a witty set of moon-themed songs. Read Review 106 A Man For All Seasons (1966) Director: Fred Zinnemann Henry VIII (Robert Shaw) slaps his thigh and barges about the Thames trying to get a divorce, while conscience-stricken Thomas More (Paul Scofield) lumbers tragically towards an appointment with the axe. Read Review 105 One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest (1975) Director: Milos Forman Repression and rebellion set in a mental hospital, adapted by Czech director Milos Forman with a cool, near-documentary look. Nicholson gives a key nicholsonian role, taking on softly-spoken sadist Nurse Ratched. Read Review

104 The Rules Of The Game (1939) Director: Jean Renoir Banned on its original release, Renoir's cutting, supremely entertaining dissection of class and love (the title refers to romance, as much as anything) is just about perfect. Pick up the issue for film critic Jonathan Romney's piece on The Wages Of Fear

103 Rear Window (1954) Director: Alfred Hitchcock A simple technical exercise � making a whole film in one room � is given ballsy bravura by Hitchcock as a terrific James Stewart witnesses a murder through his, um, rear window. Read Review Pick up the issue for our profile on Rear Window actress, Grace Kelly

102 The Hustler (1961) Director: Robert Rossen A cautionary tale masquerading as a sports movie, this is what legends are made of � especially considering Paul Newman뭩 turn as 멑ast Eddie� Felson provided his breakthrough to the big-time. Read Review 101 Raising Arizona (1987) Director: Joel and Ethan Coen For their sophomore effort, those versatile Coen boys swung from the stark chills of Blood Simple into screwball territory with this hyperactive comedy of apocalyptic bikers, serial robbery, infant kidnap, and the value of family. Read Review
