A couple Scorsese pictures on the list "Goodfellas" and "Mean Streets" are exellent. But Raging Bull would be in my top 10, it's certainly more than just a boxing film it's an incredible character study IMO. I rank Godfather II even a better film than The Godfather, which is no slouch of course lol. The Coen Brother's Miller's Crossing is a fine film, but Fargo (which should have been BEST PICTURE, not The English Patient which it lost too)is superior from Joel and Ethan, and would also rank high on my list. Featuring one of the greatest character's ever written in my opinion, in pregnant Police Chief Marge Gunderson on the trail of 2 kidnapping killers. It's a classic film, if anyone hasn't seen it i cannot recommend it highly enough. Another film i will toss out that i rank very high, that is not on many people's radar screens is Carl Franklin's "One False Move". Co-written by and co-starring Billy Bob Thorton. Bill Paxton plays a small town sheriff on a collision course with killers, following a violent drug rip-off in L.A. One, a character called Pluto played in a quiet and terrifc performance by Michael Beach. It's a great film, 1992's Best in my opinion very violent, extremely well written and acted.
