28. Unforgiven (1992)
Directed by Clint Eastwood
Starring Clint Eastwood, Gene Hackman, Morgan Freeman
Stunning cinematography, from the Western vistas to the dark shadows. The movie is a slow-burn, but never dull. Hackman plays the villain wonderfully. Intelligent Western that defies the genre.

Comments
Directed by Alfred Hitchcock
Starring Laurence Olivier, Joan Fontaine, George Sanders
Quite possibly the best cinematography of any film in history. Haunting, traumatic, mysterious, and ravishing. So many mind-blowing twists until the fiery climax. Hitchcock at his finest.
Directed by Victor Fleming
Starring Vivien Leigh, Clark Gable, Olivia de Havilland
Yes, it's problematic in its revisionist history, but it's undeniably spectacular, romantic, with some of the best-written characters ever seen on film. Love the film, hate the message
Directed by James Cameron
Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet, Billy Zane
A film that gets unfairly maligned. I fell into that camp at first, but subsequent watches reveal depth of emotion and stunning visuals that stay with you. Would be higher if not for cheesy dialogue
Directed by Martin Scorsese
Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson, Mark Wahlberg
The camera work, sound, and editing are so chaotic and mesmerizing. The characters are complex and the acting is superb. The unpredictable twists are the icing on the cake.
Directed by David Lean
Starring William Holden, Alec Guinness, Jack Hawkins
Strong direction by Lean, interesting story, engaging characters, and stunning locations. Saito is shown as a compassionate character rather than generic Japanese villain.
Directed by Peter Jackson
Starring Elijah Wood, Ian McKellen, Viggo Mortensen
The best of the trilogy is a cinematic masterpiece all around. It really captures the essence of Tolkien's world. The ending has such emotional depth. Powerful.
