Lists of Bests: Empire Magazine's "Masterpieces" http://www.listsofbests.com/list/23498 Masterpieces A regular feature since issue 167, the masterpiece feature is a two page essay on a film selected by Empire in the At Home section. The selection of the films seem to be quite random and follow no specific pattern. Only a few issues since the first masterpiece feature have not featured one - 169, 179, 196, 197 and 198. (Updated with Issue 243, September 2009) The films to feature in this section so far are: Tue, 15 Dec 2009 15:13:04 GMT en-us 0 50 73 50 0 Raging Bull http://www.allconsuming.net/item/view/23655 <div id="position">1</div><div class="item-image" style="padding:3px;float:left;"><a href="http://www.allconsuming.net/item/view/23655"><img src="http://ec2.images-amazon.com/images/P/0792833236.01._SCTHUMBZZZ_.jpg" /></a></div> Gone with the Wind http://www.allconsuming.net/item/view/38307 <div id="position">2</div><div class="item-image" style="padding:3px;float:left;"><a href="http://www.allconsuming.net/item/view/38307"><img src="http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/P/6305123667.01._SCTHUMBZZZ_.jpg" /></a></div><div style="font-size: 12px;"> by Victor Fleming</div> The Shawshank Redemption http://www.allconsuming.net/item/view/35859 <div id="position">3</div><div class="item-image" style="padding:3px;float:left;"><a href="http://www.allconsuming.net/item/view/35859"><img src="http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/P/B0000399WI.01._SCTHUMBZZZ_.jpg" /></a></div><div style="font-size: 12px;"> by Frank Darabont</div> Casablanca http://www.allconsuming.net/item/view/482826 <div id="position">4</div><div class="item-image" style="padding:3px;float:left;"><a href="http://www.allconsuming.net/item/view/482826"><img src="http://ec2.images-amazon.com/images/P/B000065MKH.01._SCTHUMBZZZ_.jpg" /></a></div><div style="font-size: 12px;"> by Michael Curtiz</div> Blade Runner http://www.allconsuming.net/item/view/188827 <div id="position">5</div><div class="item-image" style="padding:3px;float:left;"><a href="http://www.allconsuming.net/item/view/188827"><img src="http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/P/B00004RYU5.01._SCTHUMBZZZ_.jpg" /></a></div><div style="font-size: 12px;"> by Ridley Scott</div> La Dolce vita http://www.allconsuming.net/item/view/77596 <div id="position">6</div><div class="item-image" style="padding:3px;float:left;"><a href="http://www.allconsuming.net/item/view/77596"><img src="http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/P/B0002VF4XU.01._SCTHUMBZZZ_.jpg" /></a></div><div style="font-size: 12px;"> by Federico Fellini</div> The Shining http://www.allconsuming.net/item/view/144341 <div id="position">7</div><div class="item-image" style="padding:3px;float:left;"><a href="http://www.allconsuming.net/item/view/144341"><img src="http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/P/B00000J2KX.01._SCTHUMBZZZ_.jpg" /></a></div> The Third Man http://www.allconsuming.net/item/view/932367 <div id="position">8</div><div class="item-image" style="padding:3px;float:left;"><a href="http://www.allconsuming.net/item/view/932367"><img src="http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/P/B00004RYRY.01._SCTHUMBZZZ_.jpg" /></a></div> The 400 Blows http://www.allconsuming.net/item/view/47222 <div id="position">9</div><div class="item-image" style="padding:3px;float:left;"><a href="http://www.allconsuming.net/item/view/47222"><img src="http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/P/1572525320.01._SCTHUMBZZZ_.jpg" /></a></div> His Girl Friday http://www.allconsuming.net/item/view/35073 <div id="position">10</div><div class="item-image" style="padding:3px;float:left;"><a href="http://www.allconsuming.net/item/view/35073"><img src="http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/P/6305416192.01._SCTHUMBZZZ_.jpg" /></a></div><div style="font-size: 12px;"> by Howard Hawks</div> Schindler's List http://www.allconsuming.net/item/view/2337586 <div id="position">11</div><div class="item-image" style="padding:3px;float:left;"><a href="http://www.allconsuming.net/item/view/2337586"><img src="http://ec2.images-amazon.com/images/P/B000JJCQ68.01._SCTHUMBZZZ_.jpg" /></a></div> The Godfather (Widescreen Edition) http://www.allconsuming.net/item/view/37049 <div id="position">12</div><div class="item-image" style="padding:3px;float:left;"><a href="http://www.allconsuming.net/item/view/37049"><img src="http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/P/B0001NBNB6.01._SCTHUMBZZZ_.jpg" /></a></div><div style="font-size: 12px;"> by Francis Ford Coppola</div> King Kong (Two-Disc Special Edition) http://www.allconsuming.net/item/view/63285 <div id="position">13</div><div class="item-image" style="padding:3px;float:left;"><a href="http://www.allconsuming.net/item/view/63285"><img src="http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/P/B00003CXAW.01._SCTHUMBZZZ_.jpg" /></a></div><div style="font-size: 12px;"> by Ernest B.
