Heres the complete list of my favourite movies...
6. Cidade de Deus: Two boys growing up in a violent neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro take different paths: one becomes a photographer, the other a drug dealer.Brutal murders, gang wars and a corrupt system....will it all end? Welcome to the City Of God
Quote: You need more than guts to be a good gangster, you need ideas.
7. Goodfellas: A Scorsese classic. The story of Irish-Italian American, Henry Hill (Liota), and how he lives day-to-day life as a member of the Mafia. Based on a true story, the plot revolves around Henry and his two unstable friends Jimmy (De Niro) and Tommy (Pesci) as they gradually climb the ladder of organised crime.
Quote: As far back as I can remember I always wanted to be a gangster.
8. Schindler's List: The true story of Oskar Schindler (Neeson), a German businessman who tried to make his fortune during the Second World War by exploiting cheap Jewish labour, but ended up penniless having saved over 1000 Polish Jews from almost certain death during the holocaust.
Quote: This list... is an absolute good. The list is life. All around its margins lies the gulf.
9. The Shawshank Redemption: Andy Dufresne (Robbins) is a young and successful banker whose life changes drastically when he is convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of his wife and her lover. Set in the 1940's, the film shows how Andy, with the help of his friend Red (Freeman), the prison entrepreneur, turns out to be a most unconventional prisoner.
Quote: I believe in two things: discipline and the Bible. Here you'll receive both. Put your trust in the Lord; your ass belongs to me. Welcome to Shawshank.
10. The Departed: Two men from opposite sides of the law are undercover within the Massachusetts State Police and the Irish mafia, but violence and bloodshed boil when discoveries are made, and the moles are dispatched to find out their enemy's identities.
Quote: One of us had to die. With me, it tends to be the other guy.
