Johnny Depp is one of my absolute favorite actors, due to his love to picking quirky roles over Hollywood leading man or action hero types. Besides, he is considered one of the best actors ever, some critics even place him on the first position. I usually enjoy watching his movies, though there is some exceptions. So I have decided to make a list of my favorite ten of his movies. I have not seen all of them, so I might be missing something good. If so, let me know. Anyway, here’s the list of top movies with Johnny.
•    Donnie Brasco. This movie is based on a true story that goes about Joe Pistone, an FBI agent who went undercover to infiltrate the mob. Depp plays together with Al Pacino – a perfect companion. The film portrays mobsters in a different light than most other Hollywood fare.

•    Pirates of the Caribbean. This trilogy that features Captain Jack Sparrow is fabulous. It represents a mixture of romance, adventure, fun and perfect performance. By the way, now the crew is working on Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, which is supposed to be ready in 2011.

•    Alice in Wonderland. The recently launched movie that was in the limelight for a long period of time at the beginning of this year. Crazy, wacky character of Johnny meets Alice when she shows up in Wonderland. I think you remember that.

•    Don Juan DeMarco. One of my personal favorites. This is an odd 1995 film about a mental patient (Depp) who claims to be Don Juan. He has just ten days to convince a psychiatrist (Marlon Brando) that he is indeed Don Juan. Unusual story.

•    Public Enemies. The film was shot in 2009 with Johnny playing John Dillinger role. The story tells how the Feds try to take down notorious American gangsters John Dillinger, Baby Face Nelson and Pretty Boy Floyd during a booming crime wave in the 1930s.

Lately everybody talks about a new movie Salt and, of course, about Angelina Jolie who starred there. The actress has gained enormous popularity and was filmed in the most successful projects. That has made me wonder what movies featuring Angelina Jolie are the best according to critics, public acclaim and quantity of awards. Below is the list of the Top movies with Jolie’s participation.

•    Gia, 1998. This is a story about a fashion model that moves to New York from Philadelphia to start her career. She becomes incredibly successful, but her persistent loneliness drives her to experiment with cocaine. This story shows us life of a girl who managed to achieve her aim and lose it.

•    Mr & Mrs Smith, 2005. This is an action comedy film showing Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt as a bored married couple who learn that they are both assassins hired by competing agencies to kill each other. Not so good for a married couple. A good romantic yet funny film to enjoy!

•    A Mighty Heart, 2007. The film is an adaptation of the memoir with the same title. It tells a story of a woman whose husband was kidnapped by supporters of Omar Sheikh. Although initially a financial failure, A Mighty Heart was met with relatively positive reviews from both critics and viewers alike.

•    Wanted, 2008. The action film is based on the comic book miniseries. The storyline follows Wesley Gibson, a frustrated office worker who discovers that he is the son of a professional assassin and decides to join the The Fraternity, the secret guild in which his father worked.

•    Changeling, 2008. This drama film will touch your soul. Clint Eastwood’s movie is based on real life events that took place in Los Angeles in 1928. Awards gained by the movie are numerous. That is the film worth seeing.

The sport quickly spread throughout North America, and by the late 1970s it had become widely popular in Europe. Its popularity soon spawned a thriving sailboard-manufacturing industry in Europe.

There is a lot of variation in modern sailboard design. The boards now usually range from two to four meters and weigh between seven to eighteen kg.  By the way, some boards can reach speeds of over forty knots. There are also different types of modern windsurfing that include racing, slalom, freestyle and wave sailing.

It is amazing that windsurfing was included in the Olympic Games. Olympic windsurfing features sailors who race over a traditional triangle course. It was first contested in 1984, as a demonstration sport, with separate competitions for men and later on for women. There were some equipment changes in successive Olympiads: sailboards of the Windglider design were used at the 1984 Games, Division II boards in 1988, Lechner boards in 1992, etc.

Filmmaking industry is one of the largest businesses ever. Movies have taken an important niche in everybody’s life. I personally love to watch movies, but I often get dissatisfied and upset with the plot or performance. That is why I do not want you to waste your time. Here is the list of the top thriller movies according to different polls and experts.
1.    The Fugitive. One of the best films ever made from a TV series, ‘The Fugitive’ boasts a perfect blend of suspense, action and righteousness. Tommy Lee Jones and Harrison Ford played gorgeously.

2.    The Departed. The Oscar winning tightly wound undercover-cop-vs.-crooked-cop drama featuring Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Mark Wahlberg and Alec Baldwin is the best Martin Scersese’s work.

3.    Seven. David Fincher was the first to find the formula of the ideal thriller. A serial killer bases his crimes on the seven deadly sins, which makes the movie taut and shocking.

4.    The Usual Suspects. The end of the film makes you open the mouth wondering how he could do that! Kevin Spacey did the best.

5.    Silence of the Lambs. I think everybody knows it, yet if you have not watched this heart-pounding masterpiece it is high time to do it. Anthony Hopkins’s gaze will make our blood stop cold.

6.    Deep Impact. We have got used to numerous films where a super hero saves the planet. Here scientists discover a seven-mile wide asteroid torpedoing toward Earth, and president Tom Beck devises a plan to build caves that can protect 1,000,000 people.

7.    Eagle Eye. Shia LaBeouf plays a disaffected youth who’s one of a group of seemingly random folks manipulated by an evil Big Brother-type organization into committing acts of terrorism.

8.    Fight Club. An office employee and a soap salesman build a global organization to help vent male aggression. But that is not as simple as it seems at first.

9.    Inception. Though the film is new it has gained incredible popularity. Just watch it and you will understand why.

10.    The prestige. I love the movie about rivalry between two magicians is exacerbated when one of them performs the ultimate illusion.
