1. Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)

Biased by nostalgia I put this movie in first place. An achievement in sci-fi, action and overall movie making.

Veed's rating:

2123   8.1   8.7 

2. The Usual Suspects (1995)

My favorite movie ever? No. Best movie ever made? Probably not. The best movie I have ever watched? I might consider it.

One cannot understand this movie with words, it must be seen and rewatched totally focused to understand the masterpiece behind it. The ending is shocking, and don't come saying you already saw it coming from miles away. And we are actually continually being hinted at the "truth", I admit that.

3. 12 Angry Men (1957)

One of the most amazingly well-crafted and most interesting movies I have ever had the pleasure to watch. What a thrilling ride, what a simple story, what groundbreaking performances from 12 men, what perfect direction.

4. Vertigo (1958)

WOW! One of the most surprising twists in one of the most well-directed thrillers with one of the most unexpected endings I've ever seen. Simply fantastic movie, among my favorites list.

This movie makes it official, Sir Hitchcock and Jimmy Stewart are now my favorite Director/Actor partnership of all time.

5. Inglourious Basterds (2009)

Once again Tarantino's crazy ideas work. Bending comedy with war tragedy, Inglorious Basterds is a masterfully directed movie that makes suspense movies and horror villains look like Sesame Street and the Cookie Monster, respectively.

Veed's rating:

6. Aliens (1986)

Another sequel that raised the bar. Transformed a sweating and suspenseful story into a thrilling and desperate action ride.

The perfect example of perfect story telling, suspense and brutal crime scenes investigation. Also with outstanding performances.

Veed's rating:
