1.  Jerry Maguire - Collector's Edition [DVD] [2002] DVD ~ Tom Cruise

The Matrix [1999] [DVD]
2.  The Matrix [1999] [DVD] DVD ~ Keanu Reeves
The list author says:
  "The effect has been dampened somewhat by two inferior sequels, but as a technical cinematic experience and a damn good quasi-philosophical storyline, The Matrix is without equal."

Mississippi Burning [DVD] [1989]
3.  Mississippi Burning [DVD] [1989] DVD ~ Gene Hackman
The list author says:
  "The murder of three white civil rights campaigners in the 60's provides the set-up for a film which is both a thriller and nuanced character drama. A tour de force for both Hackman and Parker."

Goodfellas [1990] [DVD]
4.  Goodfellas [1990] [DVD] DVD ~ Robert De Niro
The list author says:
  "The movie equivalent of a great rock song. Funny, shocking, fast-moving, foul-mouthed, inhabited with great characters, and with (of course) a brilliant soundtrack. Scorsese's last great film."
£3.45   Used & New from: £0.39

Field of Dreams [DVD] [1989]
6.  Field of Dreams [DVD] [1989] DVD ~ Kevin Costner
The list author says:
  "The premise - an Iowa farmer told by a disembodied voice to build a baseball field - seems daft at first, yet you're guaranteed to finish the film with a big stupid grin and a lump in your throat."
£4.00   Used & New from: £1.87

Excalibur [1981] [DVD]
8.  Excalibur [1981] [DVD] DVD ~ Nigel Terry
The list author says:
  "A mystical take on the Arthur legend, with some stunning imagery - the scenes leading up to Percival finding the Grail, in particular, will make your hair stand on end."

10.  Clerks - 10th Anniversary Edition (3 Disc Special Edition Box Set) [DVD] DVD ~ Brian O'Halloran

Platoon [DVD] [1987]
11.  Platoon [DVD] [1987] DVD ~ Charlie Sheen
The list author says:
  "I'm not a huge fan of war movies, but as far as I'm concerned they don't come any better than Platoon: at its heart, it's more Faustian psychodrama than anything else. Charlie Sheen is excellent."

Jaws (2 Disc Special Edition) [DVD]
12.  Jaws (2 Disc Special Edition) [DVD] DVD ~ Roy Scheider
The list author says:
  "Just about the only film I've enjoyed equally as a child and as an adult. Gripping and fun, this is popcorn entertainment at its best - a sign of things to come for Spielberg."
£10.99   Used & New from: £1.46

Donnie Darko (Director's Cut) [DVD]
15.  Donnie Darko (Director's Cut) [DVD] DVD ~ Donnie Darko
The list author says:

The Shawshank Redemption [DVD] [1995]
16.  The Shawshank Redemption [DVD] [1995] DVD ~ Tim Robbins
The list author says:
  "You can't be human and not enjoy the heartwarming effect of Shawshank Redemption. It was unheralded when it came out - I remember seeing it at the cinema, and then telling everyone I knew about it."

Empire Strikes Back [VHS]
17.  Empire Strikes Back [VHS] VHS Star Wars
The list author says:
  "Slightly superior to the original - itself a masterpiece - this strikes all the right notes, from the ice planet of Hoth at the beginning to the revelations at the end."
£4.95   Used & New from: £0.01

The Sixth Sense - 2 Disc Collector's Edition [DVD] [1999]
18.  The Sixth Sense - 2 Disc Collector's Edition [DVD] [1999] DVD ~ Bruce Willis
The list author says:
  "There's so much more to this than the twist, which is what everyone talks about. Heartbreaking, and career-best performances from both Haley Joel Osment and Bruce Willis."
£5.49   Used & New from: £0.65

Spirited Away [DVD]
19.  Spirited Away [DVD] DVD ~ Daveigh Chase
The list author says:
  "I didn't expect to like this, never having been a fan of the Japanese anime tradition, but I was blown away. The enchanting storyline and animation are both pitch-perfect."

20.  Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind [DVD] [2004] DVD ~ Jim Carrey
The list author says:
  "A romance as only Charlie Kaufman could envisage it. Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet fall for each other having already had each other erased from their memories. Inspired."

North By Northwest [1959] [DVD]
21.  North By Northwest [1959] [DVD] DVD ~ Cary Grant
The list author says:
  "Hitchcock's most accessible movie. Loads of top-notch scenes such as the crop-duster and Mount Rushmore. Cary Grant has never been cooler or more suave, and Eva Marie Saint is drop-dead gorgeous."

This Is Spinal Tap (Double Disc Set) [DVD]
22.  This Is Spinal Tap (Double Disc Set) [DVD] DVD ~ Rob Reiner
The list author says:
  "All the more brilliant for being largely ad-libbed, Spinal Tap is absolutely loaded with some of the most memorable comic scenes of all time. Goes all the way up to 11. It's like, one funnier."

23.  The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (Extended Edition) [DVD] DVD ~ Elijah Wood
The list author says:
  "Jackson's final take on Tolkein is the best of the trilogy: for me, the cinematography and battle scenes stand out. The central triangle of Frodo, Sam and Gollum also gives the film real heart."

25.  The Right Stuff [1984] [DVD] [1983] DVD ~ Sam Shepard
The list author says:
  "The epic and self-effacing tale of the original Mercury 7 astronauts. Told with dry wit, and far from being a tub-thumping America-is-great movie."
£5.15   Used & New from: £0.39
