Excellent choice. My top 5 Fincher films are The Killer, The Game, The Social Network, Zodiac, and Gone Girl, in that order. The Killer has been surprisingly overlooked and underrated. I think it's Fincher's best film, and Fassbender's best performance of his career.
2049 deserves to be higher (closer to 1) imo, but good list! First time I saw it a few years back I thought it was pretty good, but the more I watch it the better it gets. The world is perfectly crafted, the acting is perfect, the story is paced well and intriguing, and there are some deeper themes about humanity that stick with you. It's the best sci-fi film of all time imo. Obviously older films have been more influential and maybe it's tough because it's already formed on top of a previous film and the world has already been created, but I still think it's perfect.
I wouldn't say it's the best sci-fi film ever, I think 2001 takes that pretty easily, but 2049 is one of the best looking movies in the 21st century. It's perfect
Good list James. Yours and Ant's list was pretty similar but he Def had more deep cuts and you had some digestible films for the average watcher. 2001 is a great pick at 1 it influenced almost everything that came after it, but i like Ant's number one a Lil more. You guys should do your 100 favorites each if you haven't already. I'm so glad you threw cool hand luke in here. One of my all time favorites
JAMES I love you, you’re so right, and I loved the way you pronounced Joaquín, Guillermo, Alfonso etc. Your podcast is the greatest ❤️❤️ i rlly love your picks
Great list I don't like musicals and I'm guessing you're not a big fan either. However, Singin' In the Rain transcends the genre and I would absolutely have to put it somewhere on any list of the 100 greatest movies It's a musical with an actual terrific plot and one that you touched on in this video. The transition from silent film to talkies. The early scenes which depict the innovative early beginnings of the film industry are wonderful and accurate. Also, the silent era is never mocked. Instead it's treated with great reverence and respect. It's basically 50's filmmakers paying tribute to their predecessors The dancing is amazing (Kelly's dance in the rain is iconic) and yet I believe Donald O'Connor actually outshines Gene Kelly. The comedy is smart. The songs are memorable. Before I had even seen this film, when I was sitting in my room listening to the Sexy Pistols, Damned and Black Flag, I knew the songs Singin' In the Rain, Make "em Laugh..etc It's just such a likeable film that can change your mood no matter how many times you've seen it. A musical for people who don't like musicals
Wow, you’ve both done your 100 top movies ever made now. And both of you somehow left out Sharknado, Rubber, and Tusk. And you sit there and call yourself movie buffs….. UNSUBSCRIBED!!!

That's a nice list! I remember enjoying Your Friends and Neighbors .. an oddball goofy take on morality. And To Live and Die in LA is really underrated. Thank god Paul McCartney didn't do the music on this one.
@@oppothumbs1 Absolutely. I thought Your Friends and Neighbors was fascinating, I had the chance to see it in theaters in 1998, hardly anyone in the cinema, it's a gem of a movie, directed by Neil LaBute, who's In the Company of Men the year prior to that was also fascinating, also starring Aaron Eckhart. Both social commentary pieces. In "Your Friends" the performances from the six principles were fantastic, I liked Jason Patric's character/performance in particular. When he confronts Catherine Keener's character later in the film, and puts her in her place, thoroughly, and how LaBute films the scene, one character leaves the frame, then comes back into the frame because following the other character, then focuses on Patric, and the last bit think her character literally gasps from what he says, and she literally is taken back out of frame, camera follows Patric walking off then pans back to Keener's priceless reaction, was brilliant acting between the two, and brilliant filmmaking from LaBute, how he executed the cinematography, if I remember right, that scene was done in one long take, and was the right choice, as the viewer we're literally observing these characters in this situation, like you're right there in that store when Patric invades her personal space or bubble. And 100% agree about To Live and Die in L.A., could go on for hours about that movie. One of Friedkin's best films, my personal favorite of his, and like you said most certainly underrated. Great performances, in particular from William L. Petersen and Willem Dafoe, with a shocking ending, absolutely fascinating film, at times eerie, at other times great action sequences, intriguing, unique, you name it, just a great movie. And indeed, Friedkin choosing Wang Chung for the soundtrack was something special, was a great choice, and how he used the music in different parts of the film was perfect, sometimes even leading with one instrumental piece from one song like Wake Up Stop Dreaming, the intro, then fades and bridges with another track, I think the one titled Black and Blue that was all instrumental from Wang Chung, this was the bit where Chance is looking at the poker chip at the bar having a beer before the epic takedown/chase sequence. It's also good Friedkin stood firm with his ending, not many films were doing that, the producers weren't on board at first, but later realized Friedkin was correct and let him keep it.
@@Neil_McCauley_ Great stuff. Patric's confrontation of Keener in the book store should be studied in every film school. Later Patric boots a global fetus across his office. I might not like Frieken's films but for the French Connection and to Live and Die. Not so interested in his subject matter and didn't care for the Exorcist much (I'm an Atheist and have no fear of "Satan"). Maybe he should have directed Frankenheimer's 52 Pickup so I can see his director chops vs Frankenheimer (not that I like him that much). I'm not such a Wang Chung fan, and music is so important to me in movies and out, but I don't even remember it. I wouldn't put Eyes Wide Shut on my list. I watched it, read an analytical review to help me see what the genius was up to, saw some of it again, and I just think it's OK at best. I didn't like the second half of Full Metal Jacket at all. I loved D'onofrio in Law and Order: CI (the first five years are some of the best in tv crime), but not so much in his movies but he was great at Edgar the Bug in 'Men in Black.
@@Neil_McCauley_ I guess my favs would include way too many suspense (not into most horror). Some small touching films I like but can't remember their names. Not really too into intellectual and films of great vision that open one's eyes. Not into be lectured and shown the way by a movie, usually. I dunno why - my eyes are wide shut. Almost Famous The Talented Mr. Ripley The Silence of the Lambs Rear Window L.A. Confidential 12 Angry Men The Bourne movies Training Day North by Northwest Rounders Goodfellas 12 Angry Men 12 Monkeys The Naked Gun The Dead Zone Day of the Jackal ( 1973) Zodiac Shane The Graduate No Way Out (Cosner) Blue Velvet Die Hard Five Easy Pieces Dr. Strangelove Prisoners Drive Marathon Man A History of violence (Cronenberg) Midnight Run Midnight Cowboy Joanne Whalley in the good but cheesy 'Trial by Jury'. And she made a few movies with here husband, Val Kilmer, and the one I liked the most was 'Kill Me Again'. Yeah cheesy (to others not me) oddball films replaces films of great vision for me. Altman's 'The Player' was good until nearing the end (with D'Onofrio) . Rocky I. Shawshank Redemption. Spartacus One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest The French Connection Jaws Annie Hall Love and Death Manhattan Crimes and Misdemeanors - Woody Allen

So it was once given to infinite creatures of beauty, compassion, and great wisdom that a simple act of social interest would acquire the ageless heart of a cvilised gentleman who is employed of dependable acts to refrain from strange and obsessive behaviour while making full initiation of floating across an empty room, out through the open glass window, and into the air of the sky above, which really is a contagious form of insanity, let alone the avast opportunities in allowing a reprobate mind of numbful expressions to suffer through moments of extreme loneliness while having fallen into a dark and explicit world that is enthralled with madness and confusion.
Lol not the voice cracks 😂 these lists were awesome. I was starting to think I was running out of movies to watch but Anthony proved me wrong. Great episode!
Great list but i think many great films of the 80s should be here: Back to the future, Scarface, the Terminator, First blood, Blow out, The fly, Platoon and The empire strikes back are all excellent movies!

Fire list watched your brothers last night. You both had some good ones and a few in common that were well placed. With your list I think you have more conventional films that the average person would enjoy. Your Bros list was a lil more intricate and had some deeper movies that your average watcher may not Enjoy as much. Just like I said on his the two movies everyone loves I just couldn't get into were citizen Kane and in the mood for love! Great video guys podcast is 🔥🔥🔥

Hey James, you do realize that they made movies before the 1990s. Also they did make films in countries other than America. If this was a favorite films list I would give you a break but a greatest films should have some more objectivity to it. So many must have films are missing here.
Shawshank Rédemption is # my 1 film. Ever. My top ten are 10. The Godfather part 2, 9. Good Will Hunting. 8. Dead Poet Society 7. The awakening. 6. The Green Mile 5. Forrest Gump. 4. Goodfellas 3. The Notebook 2. The Greatest showman and 1. The Shawshank rédemption. I love also Rain man all the Rocky's, Heat, Taxi Driver aand One Flew over the cockoo's nest
Snatch the start is alleady not good enough for a greatest list I think. If you wanted a British crime film I would have said The Long Good Friday. Also Guy Richie is more a British Quentin Tarantino and also he doesn't come close to Scorsese. The guy made Swept Away and Aladdin. Other then that, I really like Snatch and Lock Stock.
THE GREATEST MOVIES ARE THOSE WHO MADE THE MOST MONEY AFTER ALL MOVIES ARE MADE FOR PROFIT. EVEN A MOVIE WIN ALL THE ACADEMY AWARD IF IT DID NOT MAKE MONEY IT DOES NOT COUNT.
Listened to the first 20 and not a single (eggless) film named before 1990. Guy Ritchie B- action and postmodern Hollywood Oscar-bait schmaltz are better than John ford, Cecil b demille, David Lean, Terrence Malik, Kurosawa, Fellini, Bergman, Godard, Truffaux, Wong, Leon, Ozu, tarkovsky, Hitchcock, Wilder, Huston, Wells, Fleming, Brooks, Ghibli films... A few of these will have to come up higher on the list, but just these creators alone we can see at least 50 films better than those being put forth from the 90s 2000s "look at me I'm directing" post-moral nihilism.
@raidersofthelostpodcast_ thanks for affirming the point? My criticism was the narrow favoring towards recent era postmodern themes, stylings and tones. In congress to this I get back a you-statement directive, something all too common in the same tone of this era... You know we could set aside the Taylor Swift mentored "you need to calm down" I'm about to get triggeredism and enjoy dialogue. Where is my initial premise wrong? Generally one could argue that I should have listened to the entire list... Had I done so are we going to see more than the requisite handful of pre postmodern films? I just had your channel pop up and even listening to your last 20 what I really like is I can hear your love of film coming through... In fair criticism though, there isn't that much being presented, and certainly not enough breath of catalog or basis of judgment, to frame this is an objective list. I think you would enjoy diving even further into your love of Cinema and I would suggest starting with David Lean - he bridges between the early era standards and into that of the independent filmmaker, having come up through a vein the industry, adjacent to wonderful European theater, yet developed his directing sensibilities in his own manner. Dr.Zhivago is wonderful, yet Lawrence of Arabia is a masterpiece among masterpieces, rather than say more - I believe that you will just discover it. Certainly watch it on a projected screen with proper sound. My primary criticism of film lists is we see the same titles percolating up, buoyed by the cinephiile/industry/academic standards that become lazy and repetitive. This is no fault of yours or mine or anyone but it certainly limiting to the greater catalog of art. The 1930s is greatly underappreciated now and yet in that era we saw our first Great explorations of myth and culturally shared hopes and pains. The Good Earth is such a shockingly accurate (and expertly acted) portrayal of the modern Chinese tragedy, even made in America, that it stands relevant to the same themes today. What Victor Fleming did in 1939 bringing us both gone with The Wind and The Wizard of Oz is by far the greatest directing achievement of all time. Each of those films is arguably an all-time great, depending upon the standards of assessment, and undoubtedly in terms of cultural impact and simply being loved. If anything, I would say the love of film should be the greatest metric, and you may share this understanding. Unfortunately we don't find, in the postmodern cynicism, many films that people truly love themselves and also love together. However, going with the 90s theme 1994 broat us two of those at once with both Pulp Fiction and Forrest Gump. I'm guessing that Pulp Fiction will make your list, yet it has become the critical fashion to dismiss Forrest Gump which is an equally amazing and impactful film. Also missing from most lists and coming from this era is Terry Gilliam's masterpiece, or Robin Williams masterpiece if we prefer, The Fisher King, with its unrivaled presentation of a fallen everyman in postmodern times and one of the best acting ensemble performances in history. Then of course we can travel overseas, yet I'll leave it at that given the constraints of the comment forum.

Horror fan?
Citizen Kane at #100? Damn, did not expect that
Interesting list.
Love these list-videos! Please more of both your own lists and reactions to others. Keep up the great work!
Done!
My favorite David Finicher movie is Zodiac.
Excellent choice. My top 5 Fincher films are The Killer, The Game, The Social Network, Zodiac, and Gone Girl, in that order. The Killer has been surprisingly overlooked and underrated. I think it's Fincher's best film, and Fassbender's best performance of his career.
2049 deserves to be higher (closer to 1) imo, but good list! First time I saw it a few years back I thought it was pretty good, but the more I watch it the better it gets. The world is perfectly crafted, the acting is perfect, the story is paced well and intriguing, and there are some deeper themes about humanity that stick with you. It's the best sci-fi film of all time imo. Obviously older films have been more influential and maybe it's tough because it's already formed on top of a previous film and the world has already been created, but I still think it's perfect.
🤝🤝🤝🤝 so amazing
I wouldn't say it's the best sci-fi film ever, I think 2001 takes that pretty easily, but 2049 is one of the best looking movies in the 21st century. It's perfect
Just watched Sound of Metal (twice) and it's one of the best I've seen. You guys should review it
Such a great one!
Strangers On A Train was my favorite movie as a kid. I guess it is why I loved Dexter.
I was waiting for a comment on Anthony's voice we love the cracks!
🤣🤣
Good list James. Yours and Ant's list was pretty similar but he Def had more deep cuts and you had some digestible films for the average watcher. 2001 is a great pick at 1 it influenced almost everything that came after it, but i like Ant's number one a Lil more. You guys should do your 100 favorites each if you haven't already. I'm so glad you threw cool hand luke in here. One of my all time favorites
Appreciate it 🙌
Lock Stock And Too Smoking Barrels is wonderful.
It’s better than Snatch quite easily
JAMES I love you, you’re so right, and I loved the way you pronounced Joaquín, Guillermo, Alfonso etc. Your podcast is the greatest ❤️❤️ i rlly love your picks
Thanks Melissa! I gotta do my best to respect these great artists 💪🏻
I’m really enjoying your work! Well done
I love how different you and Anthony are. Most of the films on his list are foreign and non as mainstream
Same! We're not robot copies unlike what most people think lol
Great list
I don't like musicals and I'm guessing you're not a big fan either. However, Singin' In the Rain transcends the genre and I would absolutely have to put it somewhere on any list of the 100 greatest movies
It's a musical with an actual terrific plot and one that you touched on in this video. The transition from silent film to talkies. The early scenes which depict the innovative early beginnings of the film industry are wonderful and accurate. Also, the silent era is never mocked. Instead it's treated with great reverence and respect. It's basically 50's filmmakers paying tribute to their predecessors
The dancing is amazing (Kelly's dance in the rain is iconic) and yet I believe Donald O'Connor actually outshines Gene Kelly. The comedy is smart. The songs are memorable. Before I had even seen this film, when I was sitting in my room listening to the Sexy Pistols, Damned and Black Flag, I knew the songs Singin' In the Rain, Make "em Laugh..etc
It's just such a likeable film that can change your mood no matter how many times you've seen it. A musical for people who don't like musicals
Wow, you’ve both done your 100 top movies ever made now. And both of you somehow left out Sharknado, Rubber, and Tusk. And you sit there and call yourself movie buffs….. UNSUBSCRIBED!!!
😂😂😂😂😂

That's a nice list! I remember enjoying Your Friends and Neighbors .. an oddball goofy take on morality. And To Live and Die in LA is really underrated. Thank god Paul McCartney didn't do the music on this one.
@@oppothumbs1 Absolutely. I thought Your Friends and Neighbors was fascinating, I had the chance to see it in theaters in 1998, hardly anyone in the cinema, it's a gem of a movie, directed by Neil LaBute, who's In the Company of Men the year prior to that was also fascinating, also starring Aaron Eckhart. Both social commentary pieces. In "Your Friends" the performances from the six principles were fantastic, I liked Jason Patric's character/performance in particular. When he confronts Catherine Keener's character later in the film, and puts her in her place, thoroughly, and how LaBute films the scene, one character leaves the frame, then comes back into the frame because following the other character, then focuses on Patric, and the last bit think her character literally gasps from what he says, and she literally is taken back out of frame, camera follows Patric walking off then pans back to Keener's priceless reaction, was brilliant acting between the two, and brilliant filmmaking from LaBute, how he executed the cinematography, if I remember right, that scene was done in one long take, and was the right choice, as the viewer we're literally observing these characters in this situation, like you're right there in that store when Patric invades her personal space or bubble. And 100% agree about To Live and Die in L.A., could go on for hours about that movie. One of Friedkin's best films, my personal favorite of his, and like you said most certainly underrated. Great performances, in particular from William L. Petersen and Willem Dafoe, with a shocking ending, absolutely fascinating film, at times eerie, at other times great action sequences, intriguing, unique, you name it, just a great movie. And indeed, Friedkin choosing Wang Chung for the soundtrack was something special, was a great choice, and how he used the music in different parts of the film was perfect, sometimes even leading with one instrumental piece from one song like Wake Up Stop Dreaming, the intro, then fades and bridges with another track, I think the one titled Black and Blue that was all instrumental from Wang Chung, this was the bit where Chance is looking at the poker chip at the bar having a beer before the epic takedown/chase sequence. It's also good Friedkin stood firm with his ending, not many films were doing that, the producers weren't on board at first, but later realized Friedkin was correct and let him keep it.
@@Neil_McCauley_ Great stuff. Patric's confrontation of Keener in the book store should be studied in every film school. Later Patric boots a global fetus across his office. I might not like Frieken's films but for the French Connection and to Live and Die. Not so interested in his subject matter and didn't care for the Exorcist much (I'm an Atheist and have no fear of "Satan"). Maybe he should have directed Frankenheimer's 52 Pickup so I can see his director chops vs Frankenheimer (not that I like him that much). I'm not such a Wang Chung fan, and music is so important to me in movies and out, but I don't even remember it.
I wouldn't put Eyes Wide Shut on my list. I watched it, read an analytical review to help me see what the genius was up to, saw some of it again, and I just think it's OK at best. I didn't like the second half of Full Metal Jacket at all. I loved D'onofrio in Law and Order: CI (the first five years are some of the best in tv crime), but not so much in his movies but he was great at Edgar the Bug in 'Men in Black.
@@Neil_McCauley_ I guess my favs would include way too many suspense (not into most horror). Some small touching films I like but can't remember their names. Not really too into intellectual and films of great vision that open one's eyes. Not into be lectured and shown the way by a movie, usually. I dunno why - my eyes are wide shut.

Joanne Whalley in the good but cheesy 'Trial by Jury'. And she made a few movies with here husband, Val Kilmer, and the one I liked the most was 'Kill Me Again'. Yeah cheesy (to others not me) oddball films replaces films of great vision for me. Altman's 'The Player' was good until nearing the end (with D'Onofrio) . Rocky I. Shawshank Redemption.

So it was once given to infinite creatures of beauty, compassion, and great wisdom that a simple act of social interest would acquire the ageless heart of a cvilised gentleman who is employed of dependable acts to refrain from strange and obsessive behaviour while making full initiation of floating across an empty room, out through the open glass window, and into the air of the sky above, which really is a contagious form of insanity, let alone the avast opportunities in allowing a reprobate mind of numbful expressions to suffer through moments of extreme loneliness while having fallen into a dark and explicit world that is enthralled with madness and confusion.

Mephisto it is a great German film.
Fire list watched your brothers last night. You both had some good ones and a few in common that were well placed. With your list I think you have more conventional films that the average person would enjoy. Your Bros list was a lil more intricate and had some deeper movies that your average watcher may not Enjoy as much. Just like I said on his the two movies everyone loves I just couldn't get into were citizen Kane and in the mood for love! Great video guys podcast is 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed 🙏🙏

Oppenheimer in the 50s
Should be on this list:
Back to the Future
Empire Strikes Back
Portrait of a Lady on Fire
Before Sunset
Amadeus
Aliens
Interstellar
Titanic
A lot of great picks.
But what do you think about Dead Poets Society?
LOVE IT
W list but did you watch Forrest Gump?
Hey James, you do realize that they made movies before the 1990s. Also they did make films in countries other than America. If this was a favorite films list I would give you a break but a greatest films should have some more objectivity to it. So many must have films are missing here.
Yessss new episode
🙌
Love the collection
one addition from my side
The Sound of Music
Where did you watch Matrix in IMAX version???

Your list is better than your brother’s. I love The Thing.
Full Metal Jacket is his best.
Elephant Man is his best.
I feel like James bullies Anthony professionally
Classified information: James and Anthony are actually the same person…🤫
@@pointbreak28 🤫🤫🤫
Zodiac is the best. I live in Northern CA.
You should watch some more movies and see if your list has any changes every once in a whole
No Killer Bean???
😂
Malick's Days of Thunder????
Oldboy was 2003
No Forrest Gump??
😈
Cool cinephiles can never admit to liking Forrest Gump or Tom Cruise movies, they'll get their cool cinephile card revoked
Snatch the start is alleady not good enough for a greatest list I think. If you wanted a British crime film I would have said The Long Good Friday. Also Guy Richie is more a British Quentin Tarantino and also he doesn't come close to Scorsese. The guy made Swept Away and Aladdin. Other then that, I really like Snatch and Lock Stock.
THE GREATEST MOVIES ARE THOSE WHO MADE THE MOST MONEY AFTER ALL MOVIES ARE MADE FOR PROFIT. EVEN A MOVIE WIN ALL THE ACADEMY AWARD IF IT DID NOT MAKE MONEY IT DOES NOT COUNT.
So Transformers is better than Chinatown?
Go watch cricket boy cause cinéma isn't for you
Full Metal Jacket? Cult Classics? come on.
Oh, no Lawrence Of Arabia?
Oh my god I messed up
Withnail & I!
Listened to the first 20 and not a single (eggless) film named before 1990. Guy Ritchie B- action and postmodern Hollywood Oscar-bait schmaltz are better than John ford, Cecil b demille, David Lean, Terrence Malik, Kurosawa, Fellini, Bergman, Godard, Truffaux, Wong, Leon, Ozu, tarkovsky, Hitchcock, Wilder, Huston, Wells, Fleming, Brooks, Ghibli films... A few of these will have to come up higher on the list, but just these creators alone we can see at least 50 films better than those being put forth from the 90s 2000s "look at me I'm directing" post-moral nihilism.
@@destinypirate relax bro
@raidersofthelostpodcast_ thanks for affirming the point?
My criticism was the narrow favoring towards recent era postmodern themes, stylings and tones. In congress to this I get back a you-statement directive, something all too common in the same tone of this era...
You know we could set aside the Taylor Swift mentored "you need to calm down" I'm about to get triggeredism and enjoy dialogue.
Where is my initial premise wrong?
Generally one could argue that I should have listened to the entire list... Had I done so are we going to see more than the requisite handful of pre postmodern films?
I just had your channel pop up and even listening to your last 20 what I really like is I can hear your love of film coming through... In fair criticism though, there isn't that much being presented, and certainly not enough breath of catalog or basis of judgment, to frame this is an objective list.
I think you would enjoy diving even further into your love of Cinema and I would suggest starting with David Lean - he bridges between the early era standards and into that of the independent filmmaker, having come up through a vein the industry, adjacent to wonderful European theater, yet developed his directing sensibilities in his own manner. Dr.Zhivago is wonderful, yet Lawrence of Arabia is a masterpiece among masterpieces, rather than say more - I believe that you will just discover it. Certainly watch it on a projected screen with proper sound.
My primary criticism of film lists is we see the same titles percolating up, buoyed by the cinephiile/industry/academic standards that become lazy and repetitive. This is no fault of yours or mine or anyone but it certainly limiting to the greater catalog of art.
The 1930s is greatly underappreciated now and yet in that era we saw our first Great explorations of myth and culturally shared hopes and pains. The Good Earth is such a shockingly accurate (and expertly acted) portrayal of the modern Chinese tragedy, even made in America, that it stands relevant to the same themes today.
What Victor Fleming did in 1939 bringing us both gone with The Wind and The Wizard of Oz is by far the greatest directing achievement of all time. Each of those films is arguably an all-time great, depending upon the standards of assessment, and undoubtedly in terms of cultural impact and simply being loved.
If anything, I would say the love of film should be the greatest metric, and you may share this understanding. Unfortunately we don't find, in the postmodern cynicism, many films that people truly love themselves and also love together. However, going with the 90s theme 1994 broat us two of those at once with both Pulp Fiction and Forrest Gump. I'm guessing that Pulp Fiction will make your list, yet it has become the critical fashion to dismiss Forrest Gump which is an equally amazing and impactful film. Also missing from most lists and coming from this era is Terry Gilliam's masterpiece, or Robin Williams masterpiece if we prefer, The Fisher King, with its unrivaled presentation of a fallen everyman in postmodern times and one of the best acting ensemble performances in history.
Then of course we can travel overseas, yet I'll leave it at that given the constraints of the comment forum.
