Top 100 of all time - # 56-60

We're nearly to the halfway point, and there are still lots of greats to check in on the list. Our next 5 give us 4 oldies, but goodies, and one slightly underrated film from just a few years back. Without further ado.

#60 - Modern Times, 1936.

No top 100 list is complete without an appearance by the little tramp. Modern Times blends Charlie Chaplin's amazing physical comedy with a sardonic look at industrialization and the effects on society. Incredible music, and the true work of a genius.

#59 - There Will be Blood, 2007.

One of the greatest actors of our time collaborating with one of the most brilliant directors. Daniel Day-Lewis and Paul Thomas Anderson mesmerize with music by Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor in this vision of Upton Sinclair's

Oil

. Stellar and harrowing. Deserves a second look as well.

#58 - Animal House, 1978.

College was never like this, but then again, college didn't have this cast and crew. The minds of National Lampoon's creates the quintessential frat party film filled with pranks, gags, sex, drugs, booze, and hazing. What else could you ask for?

#57 - A Streetcar Named Desire, 1951.

Tragic love story of an abusive drunkard and dockworker and the estranged sister-in-law who comes into his life, causing trouble. I'm not a huge Tennessee Williams fan, but this version with Marlon Brando and Vivien Leigh, directed by Elia Kazan is riveting.

#56 - Cool Hand Luke, 1967.

A movie so cool, Guns N' Roses used its dialogue in one of their songs. Paul Newman is at his absolute coolest as a man coping with hard time in a southern prison. He never loses his edge, and never gives in. George Kennedy won an Oscar for his outstanding supporting work as well.

Stay tuned for the last 5 in the bottom half...
