By Amarendra Bhushan for CEOWORLD Magazine Updated:December 21, 2009

300

Based on the graphic novel by Frank Miller and Lynn Varley, 300 takes over the screen like an invading horde. With all the gushing blood of a horror movie and the scope of a classic epic. Starring: Gerard Butler, Vincent Regan, Lena Headey, David Wenham, Michael Fassbender, Rodrigo Santoro, Andrew Tiernan, Dominic West, Tom Wisdom, Andrew Pleavin, Director: Zack Snyder

Apocalypse Now

Apocalypse Now (1979) is producer/director Francis Ford Coppola’s visually beautiful, ground-breaking masterpiece with surrealistic and symbolic sequences detailing the confusion, violence, fear, and nightmarish madness of the Vietnam War. Coppola had already become a noted producer/director, following his two profitable and critically-acclaimed Godfather films (1972 and 1974) – the epic saga of a Mafia-style patriarch and his successor. This provocative film did for the Vietnam War genre what The Godfather did for the gangster movie.

Gladiator

Before Maximus (Crowe), the heroic Roman General, can honor the wishes of his dying emperor Marcus Aurelius (Harris) by assuming the emperor’s role, the emperor’s cruel and corrupt son Commodus (Phoenix) orders the execution of Maximus and his family.

The film’s narrator (Norton) attends support groups of all kinds as a way to “experience” something within his unfeeling, commercial existence. On a business trip, he meets Tyler Durden (Pitt) who encourages them to form a fight club as a release for their latent aggressive tendencies.

Final Destination

Lord of the Rings

In “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King,” a great mythic movie cycle gets the ending it deserves – and we can finally see this stunningly completed film trilogy for what it is: one of the major achievements of film history.
