Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid

One of the best buddy films of all time, Robert Redford and Paul Newman share great chemistry and with some sharp one-liners, this movie is just really good fun to watch.

Jerry Maguire

Pretty epic for a romantic comedy but it most definitely does not outstay its welcome. Tom Cruise and Renee Zellweger are naturally terrific in Cameron Crowe's funny and passionate story - assisted by an oustanding turn by Cuba Gooding Jr. (whose roles, unfortunately, only got worse with time).

The Godfather

There are no words to describe the Godfather. It's simply the greatest film of all time. There are no noticeable faults or flaws whatsoever in Francis Ford Coppola's mob epic which propelled Al Pacino into the spotlight.

American Beauty

Kevin Spacey's best role and Sam Mendes' best film, American Beauty is an excellent spin on the ordinary suburban family which will not disappoint. Occasional moments of what could be seen as monotony are only counteracted by other moments of pure acting class.
