Okay, so here's another list of my favourites. I pick 30 films which i love from the 80s up to 2010. My previous favourite 50 films list had very few 'recent' movies, so i will be doing one more list.
30. The Fly (Cronenberg)
Cronenberg must have been a Kafka-fan, for this film is terrifying not because of gore or jump scares, but the whole madness in the metamorphosis itself.
29. The Pianist (Polanski)
We have seen many Holocaust films, but this one focuses more on the Warsaw uprising in the Polish ghettos. It deserved the Palme'd or award that year, proving that Polanski is still a top-notch director.
28. No Country For Old Men (Coen)
No country for old men, or aka 'how you can't escape from a lone killer'. There is one particular scene whereby the killer turns off the lights in the hallway so as to have his footsteps undetected, a clear reference to Hitchcock's Rear Window's final scene. Bona fide suspense!
