Rush
Director: Ron Howard
Writer: Peter Morgan
Cast: Chris Hemsworth, Daniel Bruhl, Olivia Wilde, Alexandra Maria Lara, and Pierfrancesco Favino
The creator of The Crown once collaborated with legendary director Ron Howard and two Marvel stars to produce an exciting and competitive drama – and no one saw it. Rush 2013 is a crime-sensitive film with one of the best dramatic performances by Chris Hemsworth as a daring Formula One driver James Hunt. Hunt's rivalry with the Austrian driver Nikki Lauda (Daniel Bruhl) is described in the film, with every actor getting a fairly even showing while Howard creates a story of two very different men who were driven to be the best they could do.
Training Day
Director: Antoine Fuqua
Writer: David Ayer
Cast: Ethan Hawke, Denzel Washington, Scott Glenn, Cliff Curtis, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, and Eva Mendes
Denzel Washington's first Best Actor Oscar has also been a nice film and a thriller for crime. The first day of training is followed by an LAPD officer named Jake (Ethan Hawke) in his assessment of the well-known narcotics agent named Alonzo (Denzel Washington). But as Jake passes his day, he not only found that Alonzo was corrupt, but he could fall all day round. Washington performed as a charming and terrorist antagonist while Hawke played his own opposite of the veteran actor. Their performance was phenomenal.
Saving Private Ryan

Director: Steven Spielberg
Writer: Robert Rodat
Cast: Tom Hanks, Edward Burns, Matt Damon, Tom Sizemore, Barry Pepper, Giovanni Ribisi, Adam Goldberg, and Jeremy Davies
Steven Spielberg, who is known for crafting popular blockbusters, proved once and for all that he could craft a very serious drama with the Schindler List in 1993. While his first Best Director Oscar was connected to his experience, he took a great deal of time out of Spielberg, then moved straight into Jürassic Park. Saving Private Ryan is one of World War II's definitive movies, revealing a Spielberg that we never saw at the gutting opening. The film continues to rise long after the invasion of Normandy is over, and promoted by an impeccable group. Speakers, mail workers, and barbers were both entertaining and revealing Spielberg's tribute to the people who served our country during the Second World War. And while Spielberg was awarded a second Best Director trophy, Shakespeare in Love memorably bothered him for the biggest Best Picture award. However, it remains one of the best films in the illustrious career of Spielberg. – Chitwood's Adam
The Social Network
Director: David Fincher
Writer: Aaron Sorkin
Cast: Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield, Justin Timberlake, Armie Hammer, Max Minghella, Rooney Mara, and Rashida Jones
A masterpiece is the social network. It is also one of the most rewatchable films ever produced. There is seldom a better match between a director and a screenwriter with David Fincher and Aaron Sorkin, elevating one another's best instincts and mitigating each other's worst. The cool, sweet drama is much more than just a Facebook movie because it uses Mark Zuckerberg's dramatic "Facebook history" to tell a much broader story of what happens when the people running the biggest corporations in the world are barely out of school.
Shutter Island
Director: Martin Scorsese
Writer: Laeta Kalogridis
Cast: Leonardo DiCaprio, Mark Ruffalo, Ben Kingsley, Michelle Williams, Emily Mortimer, Patricia Clarkson, and Max von Sydow
How about a master filmmaker like Martin Scorsese making a twisty little thriller? In Scorsese's vast filmography, you get Shutter Island, a great and underrated film. The film star Leonardo DiCaprio and Mark Ruffalo are based on a similar-name Dennis Lehane novel and a pair of American Marshals who come on the mainland to examine disappearance at an enigmatic psychiatric facility. Scorsese enjoys following the character of DiCaprio throughout the darkness, revealing twists and turns along the way, from the get-go.
Rain Man
Director: Barry Levinson
Writers: Barry Levinson and Donald Bass
Cast: Dustin Hoffman, Tom Cruise, and Valeria Golino
Rain Man was the movie to end up with Tom Cruise his Oscar, but he wasn't nominated in the end. The film was a success – it won Dustin Hoffman's best film, director and best supporter – but at a hindsight, while the role of Hoffman is more visible, Cruise is very impressive here. The film addresses the yuppie auto-egoism of the eighty years in a unique way, as Cruise plays a younger brother with titles and abuse, who discovers that his strange father died and left everything for his elder brother (Hoffman).The character of Cruise breaks Hoffman off of a health center and uses him to make money but he loves and looks after his brother throughout his eventful road trip.
Casino Royale
Director: Martin Campbell
Writers: Neal Purvis, Robert Wade, Paul Haggis
Cast: Daniel Craig, Judi Dench, Eva Green, Mads Mikkelsen, Jeffrey Wright, Tobias Menzies
Many of them considered the best Bond film in the world, Casino Royale has introduced Craig's 007 to the world — an awful, swaggery postwar bond that can roughly tumb with the best. Director Martin Campbell from GoldenEye is back in a spy franchise, bringing to the new generation the old school and perfectly matching the classic Bond Moments must-have (Fast Cars, shaken martinis, beautiful women, etc...).Eva Green's Vesper Lynd is easily one of the most memorable Bond women, who has established an impressive and intimate relationship with the superb beyond standard seductions (pretty sure some men are still wincing from that torture scene.) Casino Royale is the perfect balance between classic and contemporary movies.
Django Unchained
Director: Quentin Tarantino
Writer: Quentin Tarantino
Cast: Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kerry Washington, Samuel L. Jackson, Don Johnson, Walton Goggins, and James Remar
The best financially successful film of Quentin Tarantino so far remains his 2012 Western Epic, DJANGO Unchained, set in 1858. He tells a story of a slave-in-lay (Jamie Foxx), a slave-in-law (Leonardo DiCaprio) who is trying to save his wife Broomhilda (Kerry Washington) from a ruthless plantation hunter (Christoph Waltz). Django Unchained is extremely troubled by giving an unflinching glimpse of the lives of slaves in America (and their cruelty), but it also has that Tarantino touch which makes them wildly entertaining – a blend that can strike some people as strange or in a poor flavor
The Departed
Director: Martin Scorsese
Writer: William Nicholson
Cast: Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson, Mark Wahlberg, Vera Farmiga, Martin Sheen, Ray Winstone, Anthony Anderson, Alec Baldwin, and James Badge Dale
The Departured movie is the one that won him the Best Regisseur Oscar in 2006, but he just tried to have a good time. Scorsese admitted that he chose to make a commercial film after serious epics such a New York Aviator and Gang. He decided to redefit the Hong Kong Infernal Affairs thriller with an all-star cast. The result is a huge entertaining crime drama full of stellar performances led by one of the best turns ever by Leonardo DiCaprio.
Director: Paul Thomas Anderson
Writer: Paul Thomas Anderson
Director: Christopher Nolan
Writer: Jonathan Nolan
Cast: Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Aaron Eckhart, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, and Michael Caine
The Dark Knight is a masterpiece one of the best superhero films ever created. Christopher Nolan successfully introduced Batman Begins to the world in the idea of a "grubbing reboot." However, he made an epic, surprising and absolutely thrilling escalation story to follow. The Joker is an iconic one by Heath Ledger who offers himself an enigmatic villain who constantly throws Batman for a loop.Then you have Harvey Dent from Aaron Eckhart, as The Dark Knight makes this Bruce Wayne foil of a meaty and complete and heartbreaking arc. In addition, Nolan mainly makes a film about the post-9/11 world, which only leads to a greater and more serious devastation when "the evil guys are fought."
