"Forgiveness is between them and God, My Job is to arrange the meeting."
The best line ever!
badass as hell!!!
Lmao, you go bruh:|~~~
Cold line
Based
9:55 "forgiveness is between them and god, my job is to arrange the meeting." Best line on this list
The prayer in Boondock Saints during that scene... gets me every time.
no matter the scene
Personally, I would place 'Falling down' higher on the list, that is a fantastic movie.
Death Wish should’ve been #1.
I hated the ending though!
Same with law abiding citizen!
Clint Eastwood is more terrifying now than he ever was when he was young.
I can tell ya I definitely would not want to be a chair around him. I've never seen a piece of furniture so thoroughly berated.
Spiral Feathek
Spiral Fea
@Metal Jack That movie is awesome!
Eddie Gooden so bad ass he was a draft dodger. He fired ppl on Heartbreak Ridge because the military personnel who were on it were giving the actual vets who were the advisors more respect than Clint. Just another make believe HWood tough guy
The Boondock saints was honestly pretty awesome
if I take a movie definitely it would be like this
ma favorite movie
Boondock Saints is fucking legendary......I watch that movie religiously,hehe get it?
Do you hunt vampires?
Boondock Saints is my all time favorite vigilante movie.
My favorite movies are The Boondock Saints, Punisher: War Zone, and John Wick.
+Rio Kamichika
Awesome, I like those movies too.
Fuckin' A.
You have great tastes, girl.
I liked those movies, too.
+Rio Kamichika
Yes. Those movies were amazing.
Rio Kamichika Boondock Saints
Sir Michael Caine in "Harry Brown" deserves a mention here.
An amazing performance and supporting cast too.
Same for John Doe: Vigilante, as well as Boy Wonder.
Boondock saints is #1. Death Sentence should have been on this list, one of the best Vigilante movies out there imo.
"Arguably the career highlight of Charles Bronson"
Ahem, Once Upon a Time in the West would like to have a conversation.
"Keep ya loving brother happy"
Once upon a Time in the West dragged on way too long.
You want to watch an excellent Western with Charles Bronson, watch Red Sun. That movie is starring the John Wayne of Japan.
@@rickoshay5525 Oh I agree it is a little overlong, but Bronson’s role fit him like a glove
@@rickoshay5525 I can tell you're obviously an american western fan with those soft John Wayne westerns.

Why Dexter isn't on this list?Did i miss something?
Mr CreepyPasta Dexter is a TV show. This is for movies.
No mention of Sympathy for Mr Vengeance or Lady Vengeance? Although Oldboy isn't strictly a vigilante movie, either of the remaining films in the Vengeance Trilogy could be considered such.
i absolutely adore most of these movies. but this list is too short to name all of the best ones. needs a 2nd list. as you can probably tell by my name alone, i'm a firm advocate of vigilante justice =}
Mad Max
My #1 movie The Boondocks Saints! LOVE IT 😇😊😀
Boondock saints my all-time favorite. So many memorable scenes and original content. Suprised Rocco hasn't been in more movies.
Law Abiding Citizen is intense...Gerard Butler was phenomenal in that role.
Leon - The Professional is missing here very very badly.
I would say that's also a more revenge than vigilante justice type movie.
Girl, that movie was epic!
Yuki and death sentence (2007)
Ending was great
leon is a hitman that makes him a criminal
"The Crow" starring the late Brandon Lee!!!!!!
TheChameleon703 they said no super heroes and he’s basically one
yeah they left that classic out
Good movie, Best Soundtrack!!
Unfortunately, he's not a normal human.
"Payback" with Mel Gibson is one of my favorite movies.
That wasn't a vigilante movie. That was bad guys vs worse guys.
Edge Of Darkness my favorite by Mel Gibson
@@vxy357 Could that description apply to Drive as well?
The cat scene in The Boondock Saints had me laugh harder than pretty much any movie I have every seen.
iMeltdown Gaming “Is it dead?”
Tried to watch the movie when I was little, that scene turned me off since then.
I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT JUST FUCKIN HAPPENED
Boondock Saints, one of the best movies EVER in my opinion. I remember watching it for the first time when I was 6, loved it since, still watch it a few times a year.
Boondock Saints, Man on Fire, and Taken are three of my favorite movies. I love Boondock Saints because it's endlessly quotable and just plain fun to watch. I think that it is way too low on the list. Taxi driver is a good number one because of the iconic status of the film. But most of these vigilantes are former soldiers, Spec Ops, CIA operatives, etc. They are trained killers either coming out of retirement or forced back into action (Taken). Boondock Saints involves two ordinary blue collar Boston boys who were simply defending themselves against the Russian Mob before their epiphany. No real formal military training; just a few hookups and a very "connected" friend (Rocko).
Dirty Harry and Taxi Driver were NOT vigilante movies. Dirty Harry was a rogue cop, and Deniro's character was a guy developing into a suicidal terrorist (unless you'd say that someone like the Unibomber was a vigilante, and not a psychopath, of course).
Wholeheartedly agree on both points. Especially with Taxi Driver, the idea is that we aren't supposed to be rooting for Travis or even look at him like a vigilante.
There's nothing particularly heroic in his actions or motivation. He's a tragic figure with a fragile psyche. He can't view the world in a clear and balanced light. It's even shot that way especially in the scenes where Travis is driving in his cab.
The colours are muted and New York looks disgusting. Because that's all he sees. When scenes are framed from other character's perspectives the few times it happens. Scorsese shows so much more light and beauty. Illustrating the city isn't the black and white mess Travis sees. But Travis lacks the mental faculties to make this separation.
While I'm at it, his impetus for helping Iris is influenced by his Madonna Whore complex as opposed to a wholly sincere moral objection to children being exploited by adults. I don't believe Travis is implied to be paedophilic but again his inspiration for saving her is relative to the black and white viewing of society he experiences.
Additionally Travis regime was sparked by his fall from grace. Again because of his Madonna Whore complex. Betsy one of the campaigners for Palentine rejects Travis after taking her to a porn movie. (Another point showing he lacks conventional social integration) she was where he poured all his hopes, his last chance to connect with society. Her rejection isn't just her rejection, it's society itself. In his mind he's decided the whole world has abandoned him. And if the whole world is against him he'll be against the world.
So he develops an obsession with a militarily precise exercise regime. He goes clean "no more destroyers of my body". He works out intensely, eats clean, and reiterates his manifesto to himself.
Travis needs to be clean in order to clean the world but he doesn't actually know what that means. He buys guns illegally and us offered cocaine. The pinnacle of disgust to him and refuses.
Eventually he decides on killing Palentine probably because of his tangential connection to the source of his current obsession Betsy. The attempt ends in failure and here's where the movie diverges from your unibomber comment and whiplashes into the vigilante justice people view it as.
In the end Travis decides to revert to his other obsession. The Madonna whore complex. If he can't destroy the ugliness in society (what he designated in making Palentine to figurehead) he could cleanse it instead by saving the ultimate victim of its ugliness (in his pure black and white viewing of Iris)
You know the rest he goes on his rampage killing all the pimps in front of Iris traumatising her. If he cared about her sincerely, he'd not force a child to witness violent murder needlessly. Anything Travis does regardless of any good that came form it was down for his own benefit.
Taxi driver is a great movie but not a vigilante one.
@@CardCaptorDeadpool Boondocks is also a vigilante film but the two brothers are essentially psychopaths with a twistes moral code. Terrible film, not sure why it's a cult classic. It's just discount Tarantino with none of the clever dialogue or plot.
@@CardCaptorDeadpool holy shit!!! Did you go to film school or something? I was gonna make a few of those points, but you just went beyond. Only Hinckley could have been more obsessed with this movie.
Falling Down was not a vigilante movie either, unless you consider killing golfers and shooting up fast food restaurants to be vigilante justice.
It doesnt matter who we should root for on taxi driver, its for us to get in his mind, and his idead is exactly that of a vigilante, even if its not justified at the end . That gis legacy and what he wants to do, clean the streets because cops dont do the job.
Falling down breaks my heart 😭
All-too-close to reality for some.
The Boondock Saints is so underrated.
Matthew Cool Init it's so good
Best F scene in moving pictures ever. Loved it.
Fucking Brilliant.
More like overrated. I've met trailer trash with Boondock Saints tattoos on more than one occasion. It's about as "underrated" as The Big Lebowski. Didn't make a huge impression when released, but gained a huge cult following over the years.
This is stupid. The movie has a huge cult following. It's far from underrated
You forgot to mention the Kevin Bacon film Death Sentence. Love Taxi Driver!
"Death Sentence" is very loosely based on the sequel novel to "Death Wish" source material, by the way. Loved it, and it also homages "Taxi Driver" as well.
thats more revenge than justice
The dude's son gets murdered, and the people that kill him go free, so he takes it into his own hands. It is pretty much the definition of Vigilante Justice.
RckerMom87 that is a great movie. I forgot all about it
RckerMom87 such a good one!! Kevin bacon was bad ass i swear.
Hard Candy was a great film, I love almost any movie with Ellen Page. She also played that movie with such a great sociopathic personality while embodying the characteristics of a true vigilante. Also, although I'm bias, Boondock Saints is my favorite on this list. Pure vigilante movie. "Destroy all that which is evil, so the good may flourish.
Elliot is so so cool!!
I've seen 90% of these movies...and I'll be watching the others over the holiday.
This is my all time FAVORITE compilation video from you guys!
I was hoping "Hobo with a shotgun" would be on here
Same here, but at least it got a mention.
shizuwolf honorable mention
shizuwolf so was I
I guess he didn't get the memo! (cuz he was the guy that got fired in batman after firing morgan freeman)
dirty Harry. death wish
Charles Bronson: "Do you believe in Jesus?"
Thug: "Yes, I do."
Charles Bronson: "Well you're gona meet him." (Shoots thug)
Lol, the good ............right
That's from the second one
Also, Law Abiding Citizen would have been a top three if not for the foolish end in which he was caught. Had he escaped, it's easily a contender for the top spot.
Where's "Death Sentence" with Kevin Bacon hunting down a gang that killed his son?
Its somewhat of rehash of Death Wish which is why The Brave One also only gets an honorable mention
THAT MOVIE WAS GOLD
The ending was so sad for me
@@HorFell Actually, Death Wish was originally a Brian Gardner book and he made a sequel novel called Death Sentence. Death Sentence is part of the series, though the movie is a standalone adaptation that wasn't a sequel to any of the Death Wish movies.
I loved The Boondock Saints and Dirty Harry. They're my favorite films.
Boondock Saints is my favorite movie
Anthony Hayes Init!!!!
I love that movie. Part 2 not good
Mike Dobinson I liked the second one, but I loved the first one
I hear we might get a part 3, by 2019
Mike Dobinson I hope so I've been waiting for what? 7 years now? granted the first and second one were 10 years apart
BOONDOCK SAINTS!! :DDD YASSSSS. Love those movies!! I want a third XD hahah
They announced in 2017 they were making a 3rd one.
Sydney MacDonald song we all
Hey! Me too!!! 🙋 Fabulous movies!!! First one was a little bit better than the second one, but both are amazing! That scene with toilet from the first movie is iconic!
"The Limey" deserves a place in this list, with Terence Stamp as the vigilante. Won't be stopped, refused to give up.
Taxi Driver gonna be #1, I'm calling it
Nice call
You know you can see what is number one without even watching the video. It may have been a nice call but it could have easily been him peeking too lol hahaha
I thought the punisher or some other shit was going to be number one knowing watch mojo but I'm glad Taxi Driver made it
i was thinking about Punisher as well, but it said ii the begenning they were not including super heroes on the list....cause then Batman would be #1 for sure
Fuck De Niro!
Death Wish is such a great film ...much underrated.
Definitely!!!!!!!
I loved the punisher in daredevil and when he got his own show, i hope it will be renewed, they had the balls to deliver an uncompromising character. I must say the comic's kills feel way more violent than the show. I didn't read the comics but I've known him for some time. He delivered something real. Some karmic justice. Watching every takedown in the show i thought about all the filth that populates the Earth and makes honest people living's hell. I'd say about 10 to 15 percent of human population has to go and we need more Franks.
The good guys finish last. Think about it for a bit and extend it to our societies. Why is it always the honest loving caring compassionate people that get screwed over? One day i asked myself "Don't you feel stupid, simply DUMB, being good, honest and following the rules?" I asked myself the same question when i started to watch the Netflix Narcos show" Those drug lords made so much money back in the 80's that IT JUST DOESN'T FIT IN YOUR BRAIN !!! And i am talking about 80's $ not today's $. It was almost 40 years ago and we know that the prices weren't the same as today. That makes it even more astounding !
NOBODY besides the honest loving caring compassionate people follows the rules ! Criminals don't follow the rules and they have it good, why is that the police arrives AFTER the crime has been committed, a simple question, no illuminati site here but why can't we put some pressure on these assholes? The police knows who they are and where they live, can't we then get rid of crime and maintain order? Big Businesses don't follow the rules. Those who are in power don't follow the rules, there is a scandal over some shady deal almost every week on tv. Criminals, Big Corporations, Lobby's and politicians know each other. Up high it's a small world and they make illegal deals every day ... It's everywhere, from the lowest banger on the corner to the highest seat in power, it's rotten. If you want the truth listen to them talking over tv, radio and ads and switch to the opposite, that will be the truth.
An epiphany.
Clint Eastwood
Is a all time
Great actor
In movies &
TV shows.
The Boondock Saints is a hell of a lot better than Taken. It should be somewhere in the top 3.
I really do like The Boondock Saints. I wish I could say the same for, part 2
Yeah the first one was good. The second one...eh not so good. Should have been placed higher than what it placed.
I liked the second one as a stand alone, but it didn't touch the original one.
***** Rotten Tomatoes will never be reliable.
I don't know, anything to do with killing human-traffickers is pretty satisfying. Of course killing hot-shot big crime bosses is almost as nice.
"the punisher" nuff said
Uh.. He's in the superhero genre. He wasn't gonna be included on this list.
It's a comic book adaptation. He said no comic book adaptation in this video.
FALLING DOWN!!! I love that movie. watching it is a guilty pleasure.
Denzel's "Man on Fire" is equal or even better than Denzel's "Equalizer.'
Agreed! ‘Revenge is a meal best served cold’
How in the hell is law abiding citizen just an honorable mention? ... I'm going to fix this Mojo.. it's going to be Biblical
Law Abiding Citizen is more the story of a sadistic psycho who mostly wages war against the law enforcement, rather than being a classic vigilante.
Law Abiding Citizen was a great movie, but a vigilante does not kill innocent people. He started out as a vigilante, but ended as a man trying to drive his point home at any cost
@@josephburchill7347 "...a vigilante does not kill innocent people..."
Tell that to the Ku Klux Klan.
Love the movie but would have been a lot cooler if the lawyers daughter's instrument would have set off some bomb at the end. Just saying.
@@michaelpalmieri7335 They aren't vigilantes, just racist murderers
I would have put "Man on Fire" on the list. That movie is fantastic!
Damn rite!
Agreed. Taxi driver shouldn't even have made the list - let alone the top. I tried to watch it once -found it boring and started watching South Park instead.
YES! Absolutely amazing movie!
Dan Thurston okay man no offence , but u must remember Taxi Driver is not an action movie most of us pay our houses to see , it is a rare cinematic Neo Noir , it’s not the action that might intrigue someone but it’s themes
taxi driver is a classic wtf you talking about
Death Wish started the whole vigilante genre. And in Magnum Force Dirty Harry actually goes after and kills vigilantes.
"The Crow", " I Spit On Your Grave (70's version), & "V For Vendetta".
Boondock saints should be higher than 5th
Pete Doyle so agree
Pete Doyle Should be one of the top two.
I don't know, I don't think it has any place on this list!
Why not?
it has alot more right to this list than dirty harry. after all harry is a fucking cop. not a vigilante.
What about Law Abiding Citizen?
Did you watch the video? It got an honourable mention.
Really expected John Wick to be on this list
Leon, The Professional needs a well deserved shout out.
Yes!
hes a hitman you brainlet
Leon is NOT a vigilante
Contract killer, not vigilante....
Death Wish was the bases for The Punisher in Marvel comics.
cacable7 I meant that it inspired his creation in the amazing spider man #129 ( not sure if that's the right number).
I had no idea. I watched Death Wish for the first time last November. Funny how Jeff Goldblum and Denzel Washington were in it.
RckerMom87 Not Denzel. It was actor, and director Eric Laneuville, who costars with Denzel, on St Elsewhere.
Sorry But the Punisher is a Rip-Off of the Executioner Novels, Which Were First Published in 1969, Five Years Before Death Wish and the Punisher Made Their Appearance.
cacable The movie Death Wish is based on a 1972 novel of the same name. So, some inspiration could have been taken from the novel for the Punisher.
Wait. Man on fire is Far better than the Equalizer!!
Both are great movies but The Equalizer was better
Dirty Harry is a cop though
He is but he is that much not a system cop. He breaks the rules. And kills. A lot.
Doesn't Bruce Willis's character John McClane do the same?
Otherwise mojo may as well said "RoboCop" Given Alex Murphy and RoboCop are technically/ obviously 2 different police officers! If they going to allow "Dirty Harry" lol
Oh man, a lot of good films in here. I really digged Prisoners & Boondock Saints.
Payback is not even an honorable mention?
I know, it's one of my favorites for a reason.
That's not really vigilante justice, more like a gentleman criminal movie.
beren082 Well if John Wick wasn't here, then I guess you're right.
More revenge than Vigilante Justice, but was a good movie. The book (and the whole series) it was based off of is great too, after I read the first one, I just HAD to read the rest. Funny enough, the book that Payback was based off of ( The Hunter by Richard Stark {Donald E. Westlake}) has been made into a movie before, "Point Blank" starring the ever awesome Lee Marvin. Other novels in the series have also been made into various movies and TV shows with stars such as Jim Brown, Jason Statham, and Peter Coyote as the main character. Check it out, you won't be disappointed.
Falling Down... i need to watch that again.
I'm so glad that Taxi Driver made it onto this list, and at #1 too!
For more recent movies "Peppermint" is at the top of my list
I liked "The Exterminator", 1980, by James Glickenhaus. The meat grinder scene was epic.
HELL YEAH!!!!!! CLASSIC!!!!!!!
What about John Wick?
I was thinking the same thing.
He's an assassin/hitman
Equalizer was on here though.
Yeah, but Equalizer was about fighting for another persons sake. John Wick is just a mad hitman killing the people who wronged him.
I know, that and the scene from "I Am Legend" where Will Smith has to kill Sam. Shit tears me up every single time.
I LOVE THIS 💕💕💕💕✌
I agree with the list. Gave me some ideas for films i need to watch. I was hoping Django was on there though.
suggestion: top 10 movies starring New York City. Movies like 25th hour, Taxi Driver etc
I was hoping for "Death Wish" to be #1, but as both it and "Taxi Driver" are among my 25 all-time favorite movies, it is still nice. A good list, although "Death Sentence" and "The Exterminator" (1980) deserve at least honorable mention and "Dirty Harry", as rough as it is, is still a cop movie, while two of its sequels deal with vigilantes in different way.
Death Wish should’ve been #1 vigilante movie. “Dirty Harry” is more about a tough cop movie. I’ve never seen Taxi Driver in its entirety, but isn’t about a pschyo trying to assisinate a political candidate?
@@nicklubrino2606 Damn you really haven't seen it. Travis isn't a psycho, he's sick of the scum of the city and wants to rid the world of it. Don't get me wrong, he's extremely mentally ill and flawed, and as one of the characters says:
"A walking contridiction."
But he tries his hardest. Spoilers ahead but:
He ends up saving a 12 year old girl from a human trafficking ring. Sure, he only did this because he was unable to kill the candidate. But it was a good and decent thing to do. And in the end he tries to rid the last piece of filth on this earth: Himself, by trying to shoot himself. And he's hailed as a hero by the public.
@@whatno3145 mentally ill=psycho
Got-Damn RIGHT!!!!! "Taxi Driver" Definitely a FAVORITE!!!!!!
Amazingly, I agree with every one of these!
Law Abiding Citizen woulda been my #1 pick that movie was masterfully done, only thing bad about it is they killed hope of a sequel
Wow and I just seen Taxi Driver in theaters 2 days ago for it's 40th anniversary!!
It's a great movie!!
Yes!
so you're probably like 70
LOL. I am 18 :p
Harley365
Epic movie!
Where are Death Sentence, John Wick and Oldboy?
BroodallyHonest revenge more than justice
I wondering where Death Sentence was also. That and Brave One are decent films.
Good point, they better do a revenge list, Death Sentence was pretty great.
I will give you Oldboy and John Wick being revenge more than justice, but Death Sentence was Vigilante Justice because his son had been killed and the people that killed him had gotten off.
john wick is shit
Falling Down, 8mm, Death Sentence, Drive, You Were Never Really Here, Darkman and the animated Spawn trilogy are some of my favorites in the category
Honorable mentions; Ms .45 (1981), Super (2010), Rolling Thunder (1977), Coffy (1973)
Yes,I thought I was the only one who saw Rolling Thunder,Devane and Jones kick ass in the brothel.
God bless America should at least have been in the honorable mentions
Does _God Bless America_ count as a vigilante movie?
Decent list - few important snubs, however: Leon (The Professional); Peppermint; Munich; & John Wick
The Equalizer, Taken and Death Wish are my favourites. Prisoners I think is more of obstruction of justice rather than vigilante movie, because he hinders more than he helps.
Why was Harry brown not included?
This is a classic British vigilante film.
I kinda feel like the first Boondock Saints film is highly underrated.
True but who didn't love it?
Underrated by whom? You ask pretty much ANYONE who has seen it and they love it.
Pretty good list for the most part, although Man on Fire, John Wick, and Leon the Professional are missing. I agree with Taxi Driver being #1
Wick was an assassin who just went after people who wronged him, Leon was a Hitman
Deathwish is a beautiful movie who everyone should watch once.
Its a damn shame that theyre remaking it
the boon dock saints it an awesome movie
prisoners was AWESOME
Boondock Saints is one of the most underrated and best movies I've ever seen :-)
Here are a few forgotten Vigilante movies from the 80's you should add to the list:
The Guardian (1984)- the HBO movie which starred Louis Gosset jr .
The Star Chamber (1983) ,
the Omega Syndrome (1987)
Ms .45 (1981).
Exterminator 1 & 2
Stand Alone.
guys... boondocks saints on 5? really?
MeepMeep ImAJeep I was hoping for at least top 3
The ordering does not really matter, I like all of them. At least all I've seen to date.
Boondock Saints should have been number 1
@@kevinburdine7452 Agreed. I just rewatched it for the 3rd or 4th time and wow
They should have cut in the prayer they say before killing someone.
Boondock Saints, nuff said.
Some very good ones mentioned, but very good ones left off; First Blood, The Exterminator, Billy Jack, Yojimbo, Mr. Majestyk, just to name a few.
Falling down is one of my favorites.
The first movie that came to mind before the video started was "Death Sentence". Didnt even have an honorable mention...
Why was the boondock saints not #1
Don't know man.
They hate the Irish, but the movie is so bad ass, they had to put it at least in the top 5
You have terrible tastee if you think that goofy ass movie is above taxi driver.
Great list guys! If you're keen to check out a new indie web series, tune into our channel for 'Riot Girl,' a ten parter about a vigilante who infiltrates a crime ring in order to take down the man responsible for her sister's death. Teaser up now!
The Crow? Anyone?
Love that Hard candy got an honorable mention, great flcik
How about John Wick?...... They killed a man's dog .
Kinda miffed Harry Brown and Death Sentence were not on this list
Same here they should have at least had a honorable mention
Not many people know about death sentence, Kevin bacon can kick some ass!
Yeah people need to watch it. Law Binding Citizen reminded me of Death Sentence.
"You forgot to maintain your weapon son"
Oh yeah Harry Brown was flawless top 5 easy
Tom Skerrit did an awesome movie called "Fighting Back" that needs to be in the top 3.
Falling Down, Boondock Saints and Taxi Driver my favorites on the list.
They show V For Vendetta in the intro, yet it's not on the list. Not even an honorable mention.
They said no superpowers and no masked / costumed crime fighters
it was also a comic book which help to distinguish v as just as much a superhero, super as Batman and hero as deadpool
lectric gaming everybody in this list is vigilante, v for vendett is a superheroe.
they said no super heroes, V is a comic book character so therefore a super hero
The movie version of V is a freedom fighter . The graphic novel version of Codename V is both a terrorist and an anarchist (though he also looks like a freedom fighter at times). In neither case is he a vigilante. He just happened to save this one girl, by chance and that's it. The rest is about his revenge and his anarchist ideals. He only appears as a vigilante because his fascist enemies are infinitely worse than him. Also, what kind of vigilante tortures the only person they save ? Excellent story, though.
Desperado wasn't in the list?
"Law Abiding Citizen" was intense...... awesome movie !!!
Denzel Washington and Clint Eastwood: Two Legends in the Cinema!!! 2 Movies on this list by 2 Legends!!!!!
