This was not hard. List 10 films out of America produced with Hollywood budgets. So there is a modifcation...how be we open it up to American directors who personally get things financed and don't go through Hollywood such as Spielberg, Redford and that ilk.I'm not going to list a pile of movies...if you can't think of ten great ones then you mst not feel there are ten.
Casino was a solid entertaining film...a poor man's Goodfellas though.
Certainly I don't expect that we will agree on every movie buit you seem to thionk everyone who doesn't agree with you has kaka for brains. Sorry mate but lots of films listed in this thread already that are considered GREAT out of the US I disagree with.
Magnolia has a screenplay that fails a resolution - they use an old style "Act of God" ending to resoiolve it. Anyone in the theater knows that these ending s are the worst sort which is why Magnolia fails for me.
Fargo is solid not great. Time has not been good to Fargo either - basically it's forgettable.
I didn't love Heat either - it's good entertainment but certainly not a great movie IMO.
