11. Chicago (2002)

Based on the award winning Broadway musical and with some of the more prolific Hollywood stars: Richard Gere, Katherine Zeta Jones and Renee Zellweger. Chicago sprung on the screen with a bang, literally.

The film, centered in the prohibition, era focuses on Zellweger, a cold as ice heartless killer, sentenced to death and rightly so.  Successful for several reasons: the score is great, superlative acting by the entire cast and stunningly good performances by John C. Reilly and Richard Gere mark the film as one of the best. The exceptional cinematography tops the charts and adds a little cherry to the dark chocolate sundae that is Chicago.
