I like Miller's Crossing, but I'd prefer Reservoir Dogs or New Jack City. Maybe I owe Miller's Crossing another look.

Haven't seen it, couldn't get my vote for something I haven't seen. I'll be checking it out. Hopefully there are some that will watch Gattaca and Heavy Metal so they can get more votes.

Robert Kruger

Both are far better than "Scott Pilgrim" IMO.

Damn, green room and ronin getting NO love. And mannn I seriously hope princess mononoke makes this list next month Jimmy. Don't let the name fool you please. You will absolutely love it 👌

Okay, gotta chime in again to say: Bone Tomahawk being in last place is criminal. Didn't expect it to win, but LAST PLACE? Excuse me while I drum up some more outrage. Career bests from Kurt Russel and Mat-- Jack from Lost, good showing from everyone's favorite WCW champion David Arquette, and the gnarliest death scenes since... well, the gnarliest death scenes.

yeah Unforgiven is a socio-clutural requirement in Film or TV circles. Considered a modern classic. Not sayn its on my top all-time favs, it’s just that if it was literary discourse - it’s aiken to that in film. I think we watched in film class. Road to P is one of Paul Newman’s last. Cinematography is its own character. Stacked cast. Period mob movie, u cant go wrong

I'm so happy you chose American Psycho to watch this month 😍😍

Uncle 'Traveling' Matt

Okay, I can accept that my Coen-brothers, 90s gangster film (Miller's Crossing) is dead in the water. It's traumatic, but I can accept it. But, Jimmy, for you to then dealer pick a different gangster movie... that's going overboard, mate! A man can only tolerate so much trauma...

Ted Cali

Ooooof. This list makes me incredibly happy. But also makes voting very hard. Decisions, decisions...

Michael

Aw man, Big Trouble in Little China & Speed Racer didn't make the list this time=(

Ben Trotter

You guys are killing me with the lack of love for Ronin. Best car chase scene since the French Connection and a fantastic thriller as a whole! Please give me some more votes!

Ninaofthe90s

I'm not sure Eternal Sunshine is your thing. But since it's in my top 5 movies of all time, of course it deserves a vote. One of the greatest and most intelligent Scripts ever written. Everyone here should watch it.

Thanx for including road to perdition again 😍 it didn't do too bad last poll but this time maybe it has a chance to win. Also Gattaca...a sci-fi classic and a must-see for everyone! I've seen it multiple times over the years and loved it more and more everytime I saw it. Both of these brilliant movies deserve your votes Jude Law is amazing in both of them.

Please vote Road to perdition ☺

That 'one' scene you mentioned is one of the greatest achievements in cinematography I"ve ever seen. This movie is so underrated. It was Sam Mendes follow up movie three years after his directing debut "american beauty" won five academy awards, including best picture and directing. I guess most people were expecting something else from him after American Beauty, which is why besides cimematography this movie didn't win anything and no one talked about it. This movie and its directing is absolutely brilliant.

I recently watched The Death of Stalin, it's a wholly entertaining black comedy by the guy behind The Thick of It & Veep. A thoroughly enjoyable satire on the days after Stalin's death.

Jamie Rees

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is a pretty fun film. Crazy, over the top hijinks, a cast full of talent and a strong storyline. One of the best performances of Michael Cera's career.

Jamie Rees

28 Days Later is a very intelligent and unconventional zombie film. Cillian Murphy early in his career in a taught, brutal but never boring take on the zombie apocalypse.

Michal Nielsen

Road to Perdition was very much under the radar but I still remember most of it to this day. Going out on a limp and feeling that movie would be a somewhat perfect fit for you guys as well :-)

Nerd Going Outside

Okay folks hear me out: you owe it to yourselves to choose Road to Perdition and Unforgiven, even if you haven't seen them. Let me start with Unforgiven. Directed by and starring Clint Eastwood, this is not your grandpa's cheesy western. It won Best Picture in 1992, one of the only westerns to win that distinction, and it deserved it. Amazing performances from Eastwood, Morgan Freeman, Gene Hackman, AND Richard Harris. Top to bottom a fantastic film. It isn't often a western gives you a real meditation on what it really means to kill a man. And then there's Road to Perdition, which didn't get nearly enough attention when it came out and still doesn't. A unique and excellent performance by Tom Hanks, but also pre-Bond Daniel Craig, early Jude Law, and the last, amazing performance of Paul Newman. Just thinking about some of the scenes from this film gives me chills. If you've seen it, the one in the rain? Remember? Gattaca should probably also win, but I'm only shilling for these two. :)
