(#6) The Others
- Nicole Kidman, Christopher Eccleston, Michelle Fairley, Fionnula Flanagan, Keith Allen, Eric Sykes, Elaine Cassidy, Yasmin Paige, Renée Asherson, Alakina Mann, Gordon Reid, James Bentley, Alexander Vince
A ghost story in the truest sense of the word. Grace (Nicole Kidman) must keep her children safe at all costs, the kids suffer from a disease where they can have absolutely no contact with sunlight. Grace also suffers from near-debilitating migraine headaches. The mansion they live in is cold and dark. Grace is militant about the rules in the house.
The kicker is that Grace and her two kids are actually all ghosts, it's revealed that Grace killed both her kids in a crazed-state, then took her own life.
(#19) The Village
- Bryce Dallas Howard, Sigourney Weaver, Joaquin Phoenix, Jesse Eisenberg, William Hurt, Brendan Gleeson, Adrien Brody, Judy Greer, M. Night Shyamalan, Michael Pitt, Fran Kranz, Cherry Jones, Celia Weston, Jayne Atkinson, Frank Collison, Charlie McDermott, Liz Stauber, Charlie Hofheimer, Robert Randolph Caton, Scott Sowers, Kevin Foster, Thomas M. Hagen, Shannon Lambert-Ryan, David Foster, John Christopher Jones, Evangeline Williams, Robert Lenzi, Joey Anaya, John Rusk, Sean Andrew Fash, Willem Zuur, Matthew Flynn, Jordan Burt, Christopher Descano, Jessica Jennings, Tim Moyer, Nicholas Alexander Martino, Sydney Shapiro, Chloe Wieczkowski, Zack Wall, Jane Lowe, Mia Rose Colona, John Dinan, Pascale Renate Smith, Sydney Wieczkowski
Picture an Amish-like community in rural Pennsylvania. It's quiet and peaceful. Audiences believe that The Village must take place at least a 100 years ago. The elders warn its residents to stay out of the woods, that's where dangerous monsters hide. These creatures will not enter the village, it's sort of like a deal between the villagers and the evil beasts. But this is M. Night Shyamalan, so we know that the film must contain one of his trademark twists.
The big OMG moment occurs when we realize that there are no scary monsters lurking in the woods. In fact, the setting is modern day. The elders dress up like monsters to scare the community to stay within its safe walls, away from modern society.
(#20) Gone Baby Gone
- Casey Affleck, Michelle Monaghan, Morgan Freeman
Ben Affleck proves himself to be quite an adept director in his 2007 feature film debut behind the camera. Gone Baby Gone takes place in a blue collar town outside of Boston. A young girl named Amanda is kidnapped, and two private detectives (Casey Affleck and Michelle Monaghan) are hired to help find her. But the thing about small, close-knit, working class towns is that there are always a lot of secrets. The PIs think that Amanda is dead, following a botched attempt to rescue her.
However, the big reveal is that Amanda was never even kidnapped. Instead, she is living comfortably with Captain Doyle (Morgan Freeman).
(#16) Jacob's Ladder
- Macaulay Culkin, Tim Robbins, Jason Alexander, Lewis Black, Ving Rhames, Danny Aiello, S. Epatha Merkerson, Elizabeth Peña, Eriq La Salle, Pruitt Taylor Vince, Matt Craven, Patricia Kalember, Brian Tarantina, Brent Hinkley, Anthony Alessandro, Evan O'Meara
Paranoid Vietnam vet Jacob Singer (Tim Robbins) returns home from war suffering from massive delusions and horrific hallucinations. Jacob believes that he was used in an experimental drug testing study while fighting the war. However, it's revealed in Act III that Jacob actually died in Vietnam, but just hasn't accepted the truth.
When he finally does recognize his fate, he is allowed to leave the hell of purgatory.
(#22) Citizen Kane
- Orson Welles, Alan Ladd, Agnes Moorehead, Joseph Cotten, Arthur O'Connell, Ruth Warrick, Everett Sloane, Ray Collins, Herman J. Mankiewicz, Paul Stewart, George Coulouris, Philip Van Zandt, Harry Shannon, Fortunio Bonanova, Walter Sande, William Alland, Dorothy Comingore, Louise Currie, Erskine Sanford, Sonny Bupp, Thomas A. Curran, Charles Bennett, Carl Ekberg, Buddy Swan, Gus Schilling, Georgia Backus
Orson Welles's directorial debut begins with Charles Foster Kane on his deathbed, whispering his last dying words, "Rosebud." The non-linear narrative then shows us the story of the ruthless newspaper magnate, who lived a life of greed and over-ambition.
The twist at the end of the film reveals that Kane was just a big softy after all. Rosebud was a sled from his childhood, his last thoughts were of the innocence of youth.
(#9) Saw
- Danny Glover, Monica Potter, Shawnee Smith, Dina Meyer, Michael Emerson, Cary Elwes, Tobin Bell, Ken Leung, Leigh Whannell, Makenzie Vega, Benito Martinez, Mike Butters, Paul Gutrecht
