Still, Swordfish is a beautiful film to watch and since the OP didn't mention quality as a criterion, as cinematography was mentioned, Swordfish definitely qualifies. From that standpoint, 'V' would qualify as well.

Peace...

I still disagree with you Tom, but I'm not going to argue back and forth. You mentioned the opening scene, which granted is a nice sequence, but any of the Matrix films tops this scene. I do enjoy Swordfish, I will not deny that, but to me is just a mindless actioner as Piratehunter stated. From the original list as posted by djvaldez it seemed obvious to myself that quality was a criterion as all of those films are highly regarded.
