    1. NCFOM - Amazing film I never get tired of rewatching.
    2-4. Something better
    5. The Departed - Extremely Overrated Fluff.
    6-8. something better
    9. Eastern Promises - I saw this once and don’t remember a single thing about it other than Viggo fighting nude in a shower (no homo).
    10-19. something better
    20. Memento - I saw this once and unfortunately remember it vividly. In the words of In Livin Color’s Men On Film: “hated it”.

    I never saw or really heard of Sexy Beast.

    The Departed is nothing special. LDC, Damon, Wahlberg...too many unlikable kunts.

    The original Hong Kong version Infernal Affairs is a great movie that shits over Scorcese's lame remake.

    I guess it was kinda pointless for me to mention No Country. It's no clearly superior to the rest.

    Sexy Beast is really only a Brit-Crim-flick that 'geezers' like to quote lines from.

    Based purely on how much I personally like them

    1) Sexy beast
    2) Eastern promises & No country for old men, tied
    4) Departed
    5) Memento

    Sexy beast is up there with glengarry glenRoss in the quotability stakes, one of my absolute faves any genre. Eastern promises = fascinating subject matter with the Russian mafia in London and absolute top, top, top quality cast. No country for old men is objectively, probably the 'greatest' on there

    No Country is so much better than the others that it's pointless to go any further
