Top most Violent Hollywood Movies of All-Time

300

Based on the graphic novel by Frank Miller and Lynn Varley, 300 takes over the screen like an invading horde. With all the gushing blood of a horror movie and the scope of a classic epic. Starring: Gerard Butler, Vincent Regan, Lena Headey, David Wenham, Michael Fassbender, Rodrigo Santoro, Andrew Tiernan, Dominic West, Tom Wisdom, Andrew Pleavin, Director: Zack Snyder

Apocalypse Now

Apocalypse Now (1979) is producer/director Francis Ford Coppola’s visually beautiful, ground-breaking masterpiece with surrealistic and symbolic sequences detailing the confusion, violence, fear, and nightmarish madness of the Vietnam War. Coppola had already become a noted producer/director, following his two profitable and critically-acclaimed Godfather films (1972 and 1974) – the epic saga of a Mafia-style patriarch and his successor. This provocative film did for the Vietnam War genre what  The Godfather did for the gangster movie.

Director: Francis Ford Coppola

Starring: Marlon Brando, Martin Sheen, Robert Duvall, Frederic Forrest, Dennis Hopper, Scott Glenn, Harrison Ford, Laurence Fishburne, Sam Bottoms, Lee Ermey

Gladiator

Before Maximus (Crowe), the heroic Roman General, can honor the wishes of his dying emperor Marcus Aurelius (Harris) by assuming the emperor’s role, the emperor’s cruel and corrupt son Commodus (Phoenix) orders the execution of Maximus and his family. Escaping death, Maximus assumes the life of an anonymous gladiator, fighting his way back to the Roman Colosseum where he seeks revenge and a return to justice for Rome.

Starring Russel Crowe, Joaquin Phoenix, Connie Nielson, Richard Harris, Oliver Reed, and Djimon Hounsou
Directed by: Ridley Scott

Fight Club

Starring Brad Pitt, Edward Norton, Helena Bonham Carter, Meat Loaf, and Jared Leto

The film’s narrator (Norton) attends support groups of all kinds as a way to “experience” something within his unfeeling, commercial existence. On a business trip, he meets Tyler Durden (Pitt) who encourages them to form a fight club as a release for their latent aggressive tendencies.
