Note: I'll try to do 2 of these a day until I'm finished. Also, this list is subject to change depending on wither I see other really good films in the near or distant future.
Another Note: Most of my list are comprised of fairly recent films. And even though these are classics to a lot of people, I still have yet to see The Godfather Trilogy, Scarface, Dr. Strangelove, Casablanca, Citizen Kane and many others (Yes, shame on me). So like I said before, this list may change. But perhaps I should of waited to do this top 10 until after watching those films. Oh well, it is what it is.
10. V for Vendetta 
Set against the futuristic landscape of totalitarian Britain, V For Vendetta tells the story of a
mild-mannered young woman named Evey (Natalie Portman) who is rescued from a life-and-death situation by a masked man (Hugo Weaving) known only as "V." Incomparably charismatic and ferociously skilled in the art of combat and deception, V ignites a revolution when he urges his fellow citizens to rise up against tyranny and oppression. As Evey uncovers the truth about V's mysterious background, she also discovers the truth about herself - and emerges as his unlikely ally in the culmination of his plan to bring freedom and justice back to a society fraught with cruelty and corruption. ~ Courtesy of Warnervideo.com.
Well I've never read the comic book series, but I enjoyed this film nonetheless. The pacing of the story was well thought out, and Hugo Weaving was fairly good as the quirky yet wise "V". Natalie Portman (Evey) is decent in her performance, but doesn't seem to have that huge of a presents on screen. And of course the screenplay created by the one(s) and only Wachowski Brothers (Matrix Trilogy) definitely adds good story telling, and solid action. Trailer
9. Batman Begins
Batman Begins explores the origins of the Batman legend and the Dark Knight's emergence as a force for good in Gotham. In the wake of his parents' murder, disillusioned industrial heir Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) travels the world seeking the means to fight injustice and turn fear against those who prey on the fearful. He returns to Gotham and unveils his alter-ego: Batman, a masked crusader who uses his
strength, intellect and an array of high tech deceptions to fight the sinister forces that threaten the city. ~ Courtesy of Warnervideo.com.
Batman Begins is the real deal and shows how a comic book is translated successfully into film…my personal favorite comic book movie. Anyway, Christian Bale (Who I think is one of the most underrated actors this generation) does an excellent job as Bruce Wayne/Batman. Along with him are a slew of extraordinary actors including Morgan Freedom, Gary Oldman, Liam Neeson, Ken Watanabe and Michael Caine. Not to mention Christopher Nolan, who's a hell of a director in this piece of work, certainly one of my favorite directors in the business. Great job! Trailer
