100. The French Connection 1971 Dir. William Friedkin Featured Cast: Gene Hackman, Roy Scheider, and Fernando Rey Likes: I thought a good story was aided by excellent direction, pacing and acting Dislikes: No major dislikes Other Comments: Hard to believe this was directed by the same guy who directed the Exorcist. Friedkin also directed To Live and Die in LA. |

98. Down by Law Dir. Jim Jarmusch Featured Cast: Tom Waites, John Lurie, and Roberto Benigni Like: It takes its time to tell its slice of life story. Shooting it in B & W is fitting for this story. |

97. Citizen Kane Dir. Orson Welles Featured Cast: Orson Wells, Joseph Cotton, Dorothy Comingore. Likes From a technical viewpoint, one of the best films ever made. It is used in film class textbooks to illustrate what a film can and should be. Dislikes. It is so far down my list, because I think their are many stories (plots) that are better than CK. |

96. Juno Dir. Jason Reitman Featured Cast: Elliot Page, Jason Bateman, and Jennifer Gardner Likes: Ellen Page projects a lot of charisma in this film. a great niche selection for a "coming of age" movie. Dislikes: No real dislikes, but this is a niche film (written for a smaller audience) and not everybody will like it. |

94. Moulin Rouge 2001 dir. Baz Luhrmann Featured Cast: Nicole Kidman, Ewan McGregor, and John Leguizamo Likes: This movie was something new in a time when Hollywood was beginning to rely on "safe material". (Remaking old films and sticking to formula and cliches). |

83. Mindwalk 1990 dir. Bernt Capra Featured Cast: Sam Waterston, Liv Ullman, John Heard Likes: A very unique film. Almost entirely dialog among the three principal actors. It's main purpose seems to be to explain Systems Theory to its layperson audience. |
