Hugely overrated, but oooooh I hate that crusty bitter old dean!

Keanu Reeves stars as Johnny Utah, a rookie FBI agent assigned to track down a gang of bank robbers. His partner, played by Gary Busey, is convinced that the gang are surfers. Utah is sent undercover to hang out with surfers suspected of being the bank robbers, headed by the wild Bodhi who is played by Patrick Swayze, who use the alias "Ex-Presidents" because they wear masks depicting former US presidents such as Ronald Regan and Richard Nixon when they go out on a heist. 'Point Break' is an action film which includes likeable characters we tend to care about and has some thrilling action sequences like a foot chase through suburban houses, sky diving chases and struggles mid-air, and some awesome surfing scenes. This is a raw and authetic actioner.

Martin Scorsese has made many cinematic masterpieces in his career, but his greatest achievement is GoodFellas. Marty's creative film-making techniques and editing is what mainly makes the film so brilliant. He also brings out terrific performances from everyone of his cast, especially Pesci as the psychotic Tommy and De Niro as the cool Jimmy. GoodFellas takes the audience to places other gangster films will shy away from. A first-hand look at organised crime. GoodFellas is a film made by the greatest director in his best ever form. Perhaps the best movie ever?

The best sequel ever made. Part I was about a man's inner struggle and change, how he attains power. In Part II he is a ruthless leader who rules with an iron fist. Pacino's portrayal as the tortured Michael is the best acting performance ever, while De Niro as young Vito is also compelling. Coppola's artistic direction excels that of Part I as he is able to weave two stories together in comparison with one-another. The film has a dark and sinister feel which is grimmer than Part I. It's a masterpiece.
