   • Silver Linings Playbook. One of the greatest films from its decade, Silver Linings Playbook (2012) features the most impressive performances on the list from Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper.
   • Rocky. Surprised? Although it came close, the best film ever set in Philadelphia is not in fact Rocky (1976). Sure, this is the most famous film on the list, and on paper it holds more impressive records and statistics than the number one pick.
   • Dawn of the Dead. The undisputed king of zombie movies is American director George A. Romero, who burst onto the filmmaking scene in general with his directorial debut called Night of the Living Dead (1968).
   • 12 Monkeys. With Bruce Willis in the lead role and a show-stealing effort by Brad Pitt, this movie should maintain interest just by the caliber of those performances.
