Rotten tomatoes score: 93 percent
Moss Llewelyn (Josh Brolin) Thinks he has just hit the jackpot when he finds $ 2 million in a wardrobe on the botched drug deal. Unsurprisingly, it takes the money, and it is not terribly shocking that the owners of that money want it back. When they hire Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem), Sociopath with Dorothy Hamill Hairdo, to restore the money at any cost, Llewelyn runs for it, but how can he – or anyone really – defeat someone who seems unobstructed?
Immediately recognized as a classic, No country for old men Very popular and critical in 2007, crocheting over $ 170 million worldwide and winning four Oscars, including the best picture. It was well deserved, as the film was more or less perfect in every way, of its beautiful, evocative images of a western American overwhelmed by senseless violence to its great performances by Bardem, Jones and Woody Harrelson as a bounty hunter. It’s dark, violent and bleak – but it’s so great that you want to watch it repeatedly.

As the trial develops, secrets emerge that threaten the reputation of Wilfrid – and Leonard’s life.
Very few movies have the difference of having a perfect score of 100 percent rotten tomatoes, but Witness for the prosecution is one of them. Directed by Billy Wilder of playing a platform by Agatha Christieit is one of the best court room plays ever madeWith a third act so well, it is still shocking today. The film received six Oscar nominations, but not one for Dietrich, which is simply stunning as an enigmatic Christine.

Rotten tomatoes score: 91 percent
It all started with a broken ear in a car park and college child with too much time on his hands. When Jeffrey (Kyle maclachlan) Find the bloody supplement, he wants to find his owner immediately. Her curiosity leads him to Dorothy Vallens (Isabella Rossellini), a lounge singer with a strange, violent relationship with the local Mobster Frank (Dennis is jumping). As Jeffrey grows closer to Dorothy, he finds himself a revaluation of how he defines his small town that seems normal that holds dark, annoying secrets.
One of the most innovative films of the 1980s, Blue velvet Also one of the most divisive films of that decade. Roger Ebert famously gave him zeroBut whatever haters had now turned into admirers of what director David Lynch Achieved with his spiral snapshot on an American suburb.
Blue velvet challenges easy categorization or simple understanding; Like most Lynch films, it is better experienced rather than explained. Hopper nominated for the best Oscar support actor for Hoosiers In 1987, but he should have won for his chilling work as the honest outside him.
