My Top Ten Favorite Movies (to date of course) part 2

This is the second part of my Top 10 favorite movie list.

5. The Boondock Saints. A 1999 crime film. This is about two Irish brothers who accidentally killed a few members of a Russian Mob. After some time, they decided to kill all the wrong doers of Boston. However, they pray over those who they kill or killed. A sequel, The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day, was released ten years after. 'In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.'

4. Gorgeous (a.k.a. Maximum Risk in other regions). This is a love story that came out in 1999. Oddly enough, this is Jackie Chan's first full length love story movie. This also stars Shu Qi as his love interest.

3. Crying Freeman. An assassin film released in 1995. It is based on a manga (and an anime adaptation)with the same title. It stars Mark Dacascos as Yoh, the Freeman, an assassin for a secret society called The Sons of the Dragons. Every time he kills, though he does not show any emotion, he sheds tears.

2. Nausica of the Valley of the Wind (Kaze no Tani no Naushika). This is a post-apocalyptic anime film released in 1984. The movie's main concern (and as far as I am concerned) is about the planet's ecological balance. Once disturbed, the consequences are tremendous. Also, this is the very first anime movie that I have seen.

1. Leon: The Professional. This is a hitman movie that came out in 1994. This film starred Jean Reno and a young Natalie Protman. Reno plays a hitman (or a 'cleaner') that takes care of Natalie's character after her family is killed by a corrupt DEA agent.


There you have it. My top ten favorite movies to date. I wonder if some of you would agree to my list.
