Top 10 Movies of all time: My view

1– Man on Fire

A great story of an ex CIA assassin who has gone off the rails but finds his way again when given the job of protecting the life of a little girl. Tragic ending but a great story.

2 - Gladiator

Set in Roman times an army commander is betrayed and left for dead. Managing to survive the gladiator gets his opportunity for revenge and kills his nemesis before going to be with his family.

3 – American Gangster

Based on a true story I was amazed how much corruption there was/ is in the American police force!

4 – Rocky IV

Although the boxing is shocking throughout you can’t beat the training montage in this classic, “If he dies, he dies”.

5 – Super Bad

Even though this is a relatively new film it is one of my favourites and the character of Mclovin is absolutely hilarious. The journey these geeky lads go on is non stop laughter.

6 - Training Day

Again Denzel Washington makes this film. His character as a corrupt LA narcotics detective is portrayed superbly as ever and a glimpse of Eva Mendes makes it a top film!

7 - Saving Private Ryan

Loosely based on a real life story this film is a great tail of soldiers sent to bring home private Ryan as he is the only son that has not been killed. The films opening war scene based on the Omaha beachhead is one of the most memorable moments.

8 – The Dark Knight

After years of disappointing batman remakes the new era started by Batman Begins is much improved with a darker twist. Leading on from this the Dark Knight is even darker and the Joker is played excellently by the late Heath Ledger.

9 – Apocalypto

Set in the Aztec times the story follows a young man who miraculously escapes slaughter and faces a long journey back to save his wife and child as he is being hunted down.

10 – 300

Following the story of three hundred Spartan warriors who take on the entire Persian army this is a great story of strength through loyalty and has great special effects throughout.
