Second best John woo movie


His best movie is A better tomorrow 1 of course but this one come's pretty close. I love John woo's Hong Kong movies. His worst Hk movie's are, Hardboiled and Once a thief.

Hard boiled!? Are you insane!? I think in order, his best movies are:
The Killer
Bullet in the head
Hard boiled
A better tommarow

The correct order is:

Bullet in the Head
Hard Boiled
A Better Tomorrow
A Better Tomorrow 2 (ONLY the last 10 minutes)
Face/Off
Hard Target (ONLY the last 30 mins)

I'd say this one is the best. It's my personal fav movie, not just Woo movie but all movies in general. At first I thought that ABT was the best and that nothing would beat it. Then I borrowed it from a friend, and it hit me at the first view, have the HKL edition now. I don't think I've been as emotionally movied by a another movie, than this one.
Ok, anyway here's my list:

1.Bullet In The Head
2.A Better Tomorrow
3.The Killer
4.Hard Boiled
5.Face/Off

The killer is the best movie of Woo, and one of my favourites of all time.

1. The Killer
2. A Better Tomorrow 2
3. Hard Boiled
4. A Better Tomorrow
5. Bullet In the Head

They are all good above average flicks but i think they rank in this order

David Lynch is the man! Oh yeah and watch Twin Peaks TV series!

ha, I might get flamed for this, I totally agree. Second best period!

But my choice for first would be mission impossible 2. That movie owns with the way they filmed the explosions and action. Tom Cruise was great and Thandy Newton is still one of the single hottest chicks I have ever seen in my life.

And Jewel Thievery? Pro Jewel Thievery?!? Talk about awesome. We need more Jewel Thieves in films.

But as far as films go with Autoban car chases MI2 tops my list, satisfying that niche. Plus one night I was drunk from a party, and just got dropped off. That movie caused me to stay up all night until the next day and keep going lol. Just because I could not get over how amazing it was to me.

Classic, but I don't watch it anymore now unless I know I need a boost of energy lol...
