3º – Die Hard (John McTiernan, 1988)
Allocated at Christmas, the film follows the kidnapping of a business building by a “terrorist group” that, in fact, intends to carry out a major robbery. The plans of the criminals begin to succumb when they realize that John McClane, a policeman on leave, is arrested on the spot and decided to disturb them as much as possible. A landmark of the action genre, ‘Die Hard’ is responsible for the emergence of several clichés of the genre. It is also worth mentioning the character of Hans Gruber, played masterfully by Alan Rickman, one of the biggest and most amusing villains in the cinema.
2º – Platoon (Oliver Stone, 1986)
Told through the eyes of a young recruit from the Vietnam War, the film gains its substance by showing the exacerbated journey of an American army group. Showing a destructive compendium of humanity, ‘Platoon’ is powerful and disturbing in its unleashing of scenes. A film that leveraged the career of director Oliver Stone, guiding himself as one of the greatest of the sub-genre war.
1º – E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (Steven Spielberg, 1982)
A child will do what he can to try to make it possible for an alien to return home by chance to enter his life. Marking several generations through time, ‘E. T. – The Extra-terrestrial’ takes advantage of the sense of the fantastic to tell his story and attract the attention of his spectators.
