Premise:�An Irish woman gathers five men and briefs them on a mission to steal a briefcase.
Director: John Frankenheimer
Stars: Robert De Niro, Jean Reno, Natascha McElhone, Stellan Skarsg�rd
What you’ll Remember: An amazing car chase.
Reasons it is on the List: Beyond some great action sequences, it’s a compelling story of theft and who’s on whose side. It’s not a flashy action movie, but instead a gritty deadly serious�flick.�It’s really more of a throwback with its 70s style and European locations."

I thought this was a pretty good list, although there was no Woody Allen, no Spike Lee, not enough Laurence Fishburn or Samual L Jackson or *gasp* Steven Seagal, and the whole list is slightly heavily weighted for action/explosions.
