My friends call me John, but some of which grew like you better address me as Mr Dillon.

Open it, open it, blow you in half.

This infamous gangster and his gang were notorious for their numerous bank robberies.

They actually inspired J.

Edgar Hoover's evolution of the Bureau of Investigation into the modern day FBI.

The movie was filmed at various historic locations relating to Dillinger's life, including Little Bohemia Lodge and the Biograph Theater While the filming locations are true to life, the movie took a few creative liberties.

These include Dillinger's participation in the 1933 Prison break and the conversation between Dillinger and Agent Purvis, played here by Christian Bale, Probably pretty good from a distance, especially when he got the fell outnumbered but up close toe to toe.

When somebody's about to die right here.

Right now, I'm used to that.

Though the film isn't for everyone, it's an altogether solid depiction of organized crime in 19 thirties America.

Number nine American Made Tom Cruise is one of the most charismatic leading men in Hollywood, and American made is among his best films in recent years.

Cruz plays Barry Seal on American Pilot, who became embroiled with a deadly Medellin cartel or Hail Chou uh Carlos Letter.

E.

A Colonel North wants to prove the Commies are dealing drugs on Why am I in the room?

Because I'm the gringo who always delivers.

As great as the movie is, it plays fast and loose with the real life story.

For one thing, Barry Seal had a softer physique, not the fit, muscular frame of Tom Cruise.

Even director Doug Liman told Vulture that the movie was Mork quote, inspired by the stories they learned about Barry than the life of Seal himself.

It's hard to argue against the results.

There's been an elegant venture.

Yeah, sometimes a little more than I bargained for.

Goddamn you!

Try telling me that this ain't the greatest country in the world.

Number eight Lone Survivor, Based on the nonfiction book Lone Survivor.

Okay, so I'll give you an example.

We rolled into a site Diwaniya last week, okay, 101st took casualties, securing it for us.

We got in there and found it was a toilet factory.

I'm saying there's a disconnect between what's in these packets and what we're seeing on the ground.

In the film, Matt Damon plays Roy Miller, a character loosely based on Army Chief Warrant Officer Richard Gonzalez, who worked on the film for two years as a military adviser to ensure accuracy.

A lot of the learning is done in casual chitchat.

Soldiers sharing their real life experiences was that in 4566 David says that kind of interaction also focuses his mind on the real life situation in Iraq and the debate back home.

While the film generated some controversy, it also had its defenders, including Michael Moore.

It is the most honest film about the Iraq war, made by Hollywood number six Fury, Directed by David A.

ER.

E.

O, while Walking Tall is by no means high art.

It's a fun ride during which you'll need to repeatedly remind yourself that this is actually inspired by true events.

Not everything about the movie has aged well, but it remains the gold standard of Southern vigilante flicks.

Number four Pain and Gain on Action comedy, Directed by Michael Bay and starring Mark Wahlberg, Dwayne Johnson and Anthony Mackie.

Pain and gain is one of BAE's more reserved and grounded efforts.

Do you do with smoothies like fruit smoothies or just like soy milk?

I don't mind him.

Hadn't really had a friend since Ma died.

Do you think you wanna go get a beer, Mum sober?

That's a good thing.

Beers only expression.

Let's go get something drink.

Hang up.

Okay, That being said, the sheer absurdity of this story, paired with a strong performances of its cast, makes pain and gain a must watch.

Take it with a grain of salt and enjoy it with a big bowl of popcorn.
