Took me long enough, but now I have got some free time to finish off the list...enjoy!!
6. American History X: A brutal Neo Nazi skinhead named Derek Vinyard (Edward Norton) is tried and sent to prison for three years for the murder of two black guys who tried to steal his truck. When he returns from prison reformed, his younger brother Daniel Vinyard (Edward Furlong) who idolizes him is on the brink of becoming a Neo Nazi himself. Derek must save his younger brother from a similar fate. The scence I am talking about is ofcourse the 'curb' killing scene. It was for lack of a better word the most innovative way a person has been disposed off in a movie. Some kids actually imitated this and the dude on the receiving end is paralysed for life. DO NOT TRY THIS!! Anyway enjoy the scene...
7. Batoru rowaiaru a.k.a Battle Royale: A random class of Japanese ninth grade student are - in this fictional universe - randomly selected by a fascist government lottery. They become kidnapped and forced onto an isolated island, where they are equipped with food, water, a map and a random weapon. On the island, they have to compete in a violent death match game till only one single victor remain. The movie starts innocent enough but all the random killing done by these kids throughout the movie is just shocking.
8. The Godfather: Vito Corleone (Brando) is the aging don of the Corleone Mafia Family. His youngest son Michale (Pacino) returns from WWII to get back to his life away from the family business. But due to a certain change of events he is forced to become the head of the family and reinstate the Corelone Family at the top. The final scene, where Michale gets baptized and at the same time his enemies are being slaughtered, makes it clear that the Don has returned and means business. My favourite ending to date.
9. Odishon a.k.a Audition: A lonely Japanese widower whose son is planning to move out of the house soon expresses his sadness to a friend and fellow film producer, who becomes inspired to hold an audition for a non-existent film so that the widower can select a new potential bride from the resulting audition pool. The widower ultimately becomes enamored with and fascinated by one particular young woman...but first impressions can often be horribly wrong. The scene when she is silently just sitting in the middle of the room for ages and then suddenly the sack just moves and the gore starts....
10. Psycho: For Marion Crane, it's been quite an eventful day. The day before, she had stolen $40,000 from her employer's client, packed her bags and driven all day on her way to join her paramour several hundred miles away. Now, she is taking a relaxing hot shower after her long day's journey. The remoteness of the motel suit her purposes perfectly. The only sounds heard are the chirping of the crickets, the splashing of the water, and her humming contentedly as the hot needles of water caress her aching shoulders. What happens after is history, Marion stabbed to her end and beginning this classic Hitchcock flick.
