51. Superman 2
Christopher Reeve
Who can forget our favourite action hero in this fantastic quinntessential good versus evil movie.
52. Truth Or Dare
Helen Baxendale. John Hannah
The scary tale about the life of an everyday lady wrecked and trashed by some 'friends' to
extremely watchable.
53. Babe
Christine Cavanaugh
The pig film, nominated for an Oscar for best picture, is no kiddish movie. The 'real'
story is also a treat for grown-ups.
54. My Best Friend's Wedding
Julia Roberts. Rupert Everett
Hilarious and crackling as our favourite romantic comedy actress reclaims her throne with a perky script and
a crowd-drawing movie about lost loves and hope.
55. Waterworld
Kevin Costner
Set in a post-apocalyptic world where our lands are flooded, this action adventure is different from any other.
56. Twister
Bill Paxton. Helen Hunt
Want to see an eye of a twister? This effects-filled film is a visual feast for fans of the beautiful but threatening natural phenomenon.
57. Free Willy
Jason James Richter
The whale-n-boy movie is not like any other kid-n-pet movie. Something else indescribable.
58. Broken Arrow
John Travolta. Christian Slater
Travolta in his first evil role since his comeback in the 90s. The movie about nuclear bomnbs is a blast.
59. Ransom
Mel Gibson. Rene Russo. Gary Sinise
This scary story about a couple faced with a kidnapped son is intensed and unpredictable.
Best of all, the implications are scary. Mel and Rene are fantastic.
60. Aliens
Sigourney Weaver
Our favourtie extra-terrestial returns in a sequel better than the original
with more agility and hostility.
61. Se7en
Brad Pitt. Morgan Freeman. Gwyneth Paltrow
This thriller whom some call horror is dark, disturbing and simply intelligent and well directed.
62. The Devil's Advocate
Keanu Reeves. Charlize Theron. Al Pacino
Al is the devil and boy is he convincing. This spooky urban tale is bleak and the limited effects are nevertheless
scary.
63. The Man Without A Face
Mel Gibson
Mel scores yet again as an isolated disfigured man who shares a special bond with a boy in town.
If a relationship can be called beautiful, this has to be it.
64. Die Hard 2
Bruce Willis
Bruce is at his best as a cop saving the world. The thing that separates the cliche action film from this one?
This movie is like the best of all B-rate ones.
65. Dead Calm
Sam Neill. Nicole Kidman
A couple and a psycho on board a yacht alone out in the ocean... things get really exciting - as much as you can expect.
66. Sister Act
Whoopi Goldberg
Whoopi best describes this movie about a crime witness in an nunnery undercover.
Undoubtedly one of her finest and most unforgettable roles ever.
67. Scent of A Woman
Al Pacino. Chris O'Donnell
A charming film about a blind man and his sitter/escort/helper that anyone can appreciate.
68. Deep Impact
Tea Leoni. Elijah Wood. Leelee Sobieski
Seeing earth wiped-out is enough reason to enjoy this film but the realism and human elements that separates it from Armageddon
puts Impact on this list.
69. Air Force One
Harrison Ford
Plane hijack is common but one on Air Force One is a must watch. Besides, the hero is none other than Ford.
70. The Blair Witch Project
Heather Donahue. Michael C. Williams. Joshua Leonard
The filming is so real but it makes you giddy and sick. However even without special effects and shots of any creatures, the film is grossly scary to the max.
The images that scare are excellent but they are not the only elements which achieve it.
71. Mad Max 2
Mel Gibson
Yeah. Another post-apocalyptic film about dust, dirty and violence.
72. Little Women
Susan Sarandon. Winona Ryder. Claire Danes
This period piece is cosy and warm, dramatic and enjoyable.
73. Final Analysis
Richard Gere. Kim Basinger. Uma Thurman
Psychological thriller with a twist of dark romance and warped affairs.
74. Die Hard With A Vengeance
Bruce Willis. Samuel L. Jackson. Jeremy Irons
Bruce is back with another fun action adventure with explosions, city action sequences and... puzzles!
75. Notting Hill
Julia Roberts. Hugh Grant
Julia in a British romantic comedy scores too. The lines are bitingly witty as expected and the
couple far from lacklustre.
76. Frantic
Harrison Ford
Ford gets another excellent story line about a missing wife in France. Set in Europe,
this suspense thriller is chilling.
77. The Real McCoy
Kim Basinger
Stunning lead in a fight to rescue her son by turning back to her old days as a highly
skilled thief. Surprisingly entertaining beyond any expectations.
78. Alive
Ethan Hawke
Cannibalism made almost humane in this tough-to-watch film about a plane crash on a mountain miles and miles away from any civilisation in winter.
79. Rainman
Tom Cruise. Dustin Hoffman
Brothers coming to turns with one another in a touching tale.
80. Scream
Neve Campbell. Courtney Cox
So refreshingly fun and cheesy that this mother of teen-slash-horror-flicks is an A grade B-rate-films rejuvenation.
81. Groundhog Day
Bill Murray. Andie Macdowell
This interesting movie about a man reliving the same day over and over again is pretty cool.
82. Powder
Sean Patrick Flanery. Mary Steenburgen
A serious and thoughtful film that sends one thinking... and pondering.
83. Can't Hardly Wait
Jennifer Love Hewitt. Ethan Embry
A classic teen romantic film that is all so hip, fun and dreamy. The cutest couple and the funniest lines in a wonderfully wacky joyride.
84. One Fine Day
Michelle Pfeiffer. George Clooney
Something about the 2 lead's smouldering chemistry and all so mature and realistic storyline... and that great ambience and soundtrack.
85. Forever Young
Mel Gibson. Elijah Wood. Jamie Lee Curtis
Another of Mel's great dramatic works.
86. The Full Monty
Robert Carlyle
A truly hilarious piece that is the archetype of British comedy at its best. That all so groovy retro soundtrack sure helped.
87. Radio Inside
William McNamara. Elisabeth Shue. Dylan Walsh
Simple and slow and sweet and quiet... but a perfect piece to watch.
88. The Professional
Jean Reno. Natalie Portman
The odd chemistry and the European cinematic style is addictive and in a league out of the Hollywood's.
89. The Pelican Brief
Julia Roberts. Denzel Washington
An intelligent film with smart characters and a clever plot. Julia Roberts... wouldn't have worked without her.
90. Rounders
Matt Damon. Edward Norton
2 of 90s most treasured finds star alongside in this powerful poker picture.
91. Sliding Doors
Gwyneth Paltrow. John Hannah
Brilliant plot with great direction and sensible casting makes this Brit piece a delight.
92. The Piano
Holly Hunter. Sam Neill. Anna Paquin
Poignant period drama and such drama its a wonder it didn't feel the least bit overdramatic. That's Jane Campion and Holly Hunter for you.
93. Velvet Goldmine
Ewan McGregor. Jonathan Rhys-Meyers
Such a colourful and realistic portrayal of the era that the movie becomes fully engrossing and totally eye-opening.
94. Face/Off
John Travolta. Nicolas Cage
John Woo's beautiful piece of action-thriller which demonstrated to Hollywood what it means for
action to be considered a craft. That duo blows you away!
95. Good Will Hunting
Matt Damon. Ben Affleck
Low-budget touch that feels honest and anti-gloss. Just one of those feel-good movies.
97. The Matrix
Keanu Reeves. Laurence Fishburne
Super cool and sleek with lots of thought-provoking stuff that combines with ground-breaking special F/X to create a surrealistic experience.
98. Tremors
Kevin Bacon
Wow... I love such exciting cheesy flicks with monsters that chew and suck and drills.
An watching all those helpless victims plot against them.
99. Ronin
Robert De Niro. Jean Reno
Love the European setting and style and all that cool action sequences without the typical Hollywood crudeness.
100. Ever After
Drew Barrymore. Angelica Huston
Highly impressive remake of the fairy tale with great casting and soundtracks. Drew rules!
