This is a hard topic because of the mass amount of worthy films but here’s mine:

1. The Godfather-While I’m not as big of a fan as most, this movie deserves a first induction for its impact and importance in movie history.

2. The Lord of the Rings Trilogy-I’m allowing whole trilogies only if they were meant as three parts of one story from the beginning of making them. LOTR is a clear example of doing a film trilogy perfectly and it’s a miracle how they managed to pull off such a risk.

3. Jaws-This film created the summer blockbuster which was very important for so many movies following it. The acting is incredible, the suspense and horror is phenomenal, the music is iconic, and it kickstarted the career of possibly the greatest run for a director.

4. The Dark Knight-This has some bias since it’s my favorite movie but there’s no denying that the Dark Knight deserves an induction even if it’s solely on Heath Ledger who is literally one of the first actors people think of when discussing best acting performances. The fact that there’s so many great joker performances but he is unanimously the best one really speaks volumes.

5. The Silence of the Lambs-One of the most historically iconic films that remains as the last of three films to win the big five categories at the Oscars. It has incredible performances all around, a chilling story with great suspense, and always pops in my head as one of the best films.

6. Rocky-I believe this is the biggest underdog story in filmmaking. Sylvester Stallone was at rock bottom before he made this film to the point where he famously sold his dog to get by but later bought it back after getting Rocky into production. The movie mirrors his own life as it shows a man with almost nothing left but then getting an opportunity of a lifetime to push himself to achieve greatness. This film has so much heart and has inspired people to change their lives for the better and the fact that a film can do that proves that it’s more than just art.

I give this song an 8.5, it’s a hard-hitting tune with intense vocals and is one of their best opening songs to an album. While I wouldn’t put it on the same level as a lot of their top songs from their discography, this one stands out and I find myself listening to it in my head at random times a lot. What would you give it?
