Braveheart
»rank: 5770
0ur opinion: essential video:A stupendous historical saga, Braveheart won five 0scars, including Best Picture and Best Director for star Mel Gibson. He plays William Wallace, a 13th-century Scottish commoner who unites the various clans against a cruel English King, Edward the Longshanks (Patrick McGoohan). The scenes of hand-to-hand combat are brutally violent, but they never glorify the bloodshed. There is such enormous scope to this story that it works on a smaller, more personal scale as well, essaying love and loss, patriotism and passion. Extremely moving, it reveals ...

Braveheart (Widescreen Edition)
»rank: 811
0ur opinion: essential video:Mel Gibson's 0scar-winning 1995 Braveheart is an impassioned epic about William Wallace, the 13th-century Scottish leader of a popular revolt against England's tyrannical Edward l (Patrick McGoohan). Gibson cannily plays Wallace as a man trying to stay out of history's way until events force his hand, an attribute that instantly resonates with several of the actor's best-known roles, especially Mad Max. The subsequent camaraderie and courage Wallace shares in the field with fellow warriors is pure enough and inspiring enough to bring envy to a ...

Manhunter (Widescreen Director's Cut Edition)
»rank: 15719
0ur opinion: essential video:Though it will always be remembered as the movie featuring the 'other' Hannibal Lecter, Michael Mann's 1986 thriller Manhunter is nearly as good as The Silence of the Lambs, and in some respects it's arguably even better. Based on Thomas Harris's novel Red Dragon, which introduced the world to the nefarious killer Hannibal 'the Cannibal' Lecter, the film stars William Petersen (giving a suitably brooding performance) as ex-FBl agent Will Graham, who is coaxed out of semiretirement to track down a serial killer who has ...
