Sometimes very little separates some of these from Tier One. And it's never a huge gap.

I was quite surprised how great The Professional was. This is a real action hero that isn't invincible.We actually care what happens to Leon. An action film with a real story and believable characters. One of my favorites Jim.

Yeah, I really liked it too. That was one of the harder ones to make the "tier one or two" call on. A short time ago this was just one big list, but it was getting kinda long, so I had to make some tough choices in splitting it up. I might reshuffle these two lists frequently, as my mood changes.

I also moved many more movies down to Tier Two, putting The Professional in better company.
