- DirectorPeter WeirStarsRobin WilliamsRobert Sean LeonardEthan HawkeMaverick teacher John Keating returns in 1959 to the prestigious New England boys' boarding school where he was once a star student, using poetry to embolden his pupils to new heights of self-expression.There are no flaws to this movie, at least none that make it not be number one in my book.

- DirectorJoel CoenEthan CoenStarsGeorge ClooneyJohn TurturroTim Blake NelsonIn the deep south during the 1930s, three escaped convicts search for hidden treasure while a relentless lawman pursues them.Memorable characters, a fun story, great comedy, and an amazing soundtrack. But hey it's the Coen Brothers are you surprised?
- DirectorPeter H. HuntStarsWilliam DanielsHoward Da SilvaKen HowardA musical retelling of the American Revolution's political struggle in the Continental Congress to declare independence.A must see for musical fans and history fans. So many musicals would be higher on this list if they were made like this one. Just take the musical and put it one film. If it won the tony for best musical putting the musical on screen exactly will probably lead to a great movie. It helps to have some of the actors who originated the role.
- DirectorRon MaxwellStarsTom BerengerMartin SheenStephen LangIn 1863, the Northern and Southern forces fight at Gettysburg in the decisive battle of the American Civil War.If you love history films, or war films, or just really good epic films, this is a MUST SEE!

A few dumb scenes keep it out of the top 10(Potbelly). That's the risk Tarantino takes with his script writing.
- DirectorQuentin TarantinoStarsJamie FoxxChristoph WaltzLeonardo DiCaprioWith the help of a German bounty-hunter, a freed slave sets out to rescue his wife from a brutal plantation owner in Mississippi.Great for western lovers.
