Foxy Brown (1974,  R)
Foxy Brown
This was the movie that cemented Pam Grier as one the top female action superstars of the 1970's. And the movie
"Foxy Brown" is one of them. One kick ass flick and one bad-ass sista that is NOT to mess with! Classic! The theme song from Wille Hutch is among the best.

The French Connection II (1975,  R)
The French Connection II
Released in the summer of 1975,Gene Hackman returns as hard-boiled NY Cop Popeye Doyle in the sequel to one of the greatest cop movies of all time.
"French Connection II",has Hackman again as Popeye Doyle trailing and going after the notorious heroin drug kingpin from the streets of New York all the way to dangerous towns of France. And this time around Popeye is not only out for revenge,but to settle a score once and for all. And he does.
Action galore and non-stop suspense.
Directed by John Frankenheimer.

Bullitt (1968,  PG)
Bullitt
The car chase scene through the San Francisco streets says it all. Steve McQueen was supercool as the no nonsense detective who goes after the truth against crooked cops and the system to catch a deadly killer. Peter Yates' suspenseful thriller became one of the highest grossing films of 1968,and some 40 years after its initial release,it still reigns supreme as one of Steve McQueen's best.
4
Dirty Harry (1971,  R)
Dirty Harry
Clint Eastwood was the MAN. A cop with his own sense of the law and using his own style as well...The greatest one liner in screen history is a classic..."Well do ya punk?"
5
Shaft (1971,  R)
Shaft
The original. Nothing like it.
Richard Roundtree rules. Not to even mention the Oscar winning theme from Issac Hayes.
6
Superfly (1972,  R)
Superfly
A Blaxploitation classic. Watching Ron O'Neal in the title character was poetry in motion,not to mention that classic Curtis Mayfield's Grammy winning soundtrack.
7
The Street Fighter (1974,  R)
The Street Fighter
This was the movie that put Sonny Chiba on the martial arts map of kung fu mania. Brilliant action sequences throughout make this a bonafide classic. Spawn three sequels. This was the one that started it all. From 1975.
8
The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976,  PG)
The Outlaw Josey Wales
One of the highest grossing movies of 1976,this Clint Eastwood western is among his finest work.
9
Raiders of the Lost Ark (Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark) (1981,  PG)
Raiders of the Lost Ark (Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark)
A Cimematic classic.
10
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984,  PG)
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
Not as good as the original,but more exciting thrills and suspense galore with Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones. Expect the unexpected.
11
The French Connection (1971,  R)
The French Connection
Gene Hackman as Popeye Doyle. What more can I say? No wonder its one of AFI's top 100 movies of all time and the result was five Oscars including Best Picture of 1971. This was the apex of Hollywood cimema that emerge from the 1970's.

The coolest car chase in screen history through the mean streets of Brooklyn is cimematic treat.
12
Ong-Bak (Ong Bak: Muay Thai Warrior) (2005,  R)
Ong-Bak (Ong Bak: Muay Thai Warrior)
The next to the greatest genre since the days of Bruce Lee is here. And that name is Tony Jaa.
13
Jaws (1975,  PG)
14
GoodFellas (1990,  R)
GoodFellas
The greatest gangster crime movie to ever come out of the 90's. You have in this Scorsese classic..Robert DeNiro,Ray Liotta,Lorraine Bracco,and Paul Sorvino.
What makes this movie stand out is the performance of Joe Pesci...A Classic within itself.
15
Dolemite (1975,  R)
Dolemite
The Plan Nine From Outer Space of Blaxpolitation movies that came out during the 1970's and Dolemite was one of them. It is to laugh
16
Barabba (Barabbas) (1961,  Unrated)
17
Spartacus (1960,  PG-13)
18
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea (1961,  PG)
19
The Poseidon Adventure (1972,  PG)
20
The Towering Inferno (1974,  PG)
The Towering Inferno
When I saw this film at the age of nine years old in theatres around Christmas of 1974,it was one of the most breathtaking disaster films I ever saw and to this day it holds the title as one of the greatest ever. Watching Paul Newman and Steve McQueen is the roles of their careers is worth it.
