6. Road To Perdition
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTRZROLq1as Michael Sullivan and his eldest son Michael travel to Chicago to visit Al Capone to find out the whereabouts of Connor, a former associate and the man who murdered his family. Unbeknownst to him however, he is being followed by an assassin, Harlen Maguire, who has a strange penchant of photographing his victims. Later, Sullivan drives Michael to stay at his Aunt Sara's beach house in Perdition, but is ambushed and shot by Maguire. As he prepares to photograph the dying Sullivan, Michael appears and points a gun but cannot bring himself to fire. Sullivan then draws a gun and kills Maguire, before dying in his son's arms. The ending of this film is poetic, when Michael sums up his father, in one of the greatest pieces of dialogue I have ever heard, he says: "When people ask me if Michael Sullivan was a good man, or if there was just no good in him at all, I always give the same answer. I just tell them: He was my father"
