I'd move Shutter Island and R&J up a bit, but otherwise, his streak of movies is pretty incredible. He basically didn't make a bad movie after Titanic until J Edgar.

I would put Catch Me if you Can #1, and move Aviator up from 7. Move Titanic down.

Isn't it a little racist to call it Black Friday? - Joy Behar
Movies are done, ive been saying this for almost 2 years now.
I've heard of West Side Story (meaning I've heard of the play but didn't know there was a movie adaptation of it last year) and Licorice Pizza. Sweet list.
Sexy Beast - Sir Ben Kingsley is really fun here even if the rest of the movie is just okay.
Bottle Rocket - Man, young Owen Wilson was weird.
Logan Lucky - It's a fun romp with Magic Mike, Kylo Ren, and James Bond.
The Town - It's set in and around Boston, OF COURSE, so it must be legendary. The big upset is that the title doesn't end in a childish like sound like every other aspect of the city.
Point Break (original) - Ex Ohio State QB Johnny Utah squares off with a surfer-philosopher. Name a better elevator pitch than that.
5. Baby Driver - Spectacular soundtrack! Great action.
4. Reservoir Dogs - It's a bit dated now and, to be fair, we never see any part of the robbery, but it's Tarantino before he parodied himself, which is nice.
3. Hell or High Water - I've long touted this overlooked gem. Some really spectacular racism from Jeff Bridges in this one. One of my first recs to non-avid movie goers.
2. Dog Day Afternoon - Young Pacino with John Cazale (look up his imdb someday) and some trans/cross dressing stuff WAY before it was cool.
1. The Sting - dated, yes, but there will be zero Paul Newman slander on this site ever. It's a classic and a must-see at some point in your life.

I've seen The Town, Point Break, and Reservoir Dogs, and I agree with how you've ranked them relative to each other. I have no commentary on the films I've not seen, but will maybe try to remember to check out some of them some day.
The only one I can think of that I've seen and you didn't list is Inside Man. Good flick IMO.

Nice list. I have never seen Baby Driver, but somehow I think The Town should squeeze into the top 5. Loses some points because in no way do they choose to rob Fenway at that point with the pressure coming down on them. I know they try to explain it, but just no.
I need to watch Hell or High Water. I have had a few others recommend it.
I haven't watch The Sting in over 30 years, but I remember really liking it.
