Robin Hood Prince of Thieves 8. JFK 7. Dragonfly 6. For Love of the Game 5. Tin Cup 4. Waterworld 3. 3000 Miles to Vegas 2. The Bodyguard 1. The Lion King Oh, wait--that's my list of worst films. Defining "Art Film" is like grabbing a fistful of smoke. David Lynch is a consistent source of quality films (well, let's ignore Dune for now), and Terry Gilliam makes some great flicks, too. Martin Scorsese almost always turns out a visually and intellectually engaging film. Dave!
