We head over the pond now to Boston for Troy Duff's cult classic crime thriller, as two Irish American twin brothers (Sean Patrick Flanery and Norman Reedus) receive a message from "God" urging them to become vigilantes.

Though pilloried by critics, The Boondock Saints is one of the more entertaining post-Tarantino black comedies out there, propelled forward by stylish action and a great cast (some wonky accents aside). It's not big or clever, but it is a whole load of fun.

Plus, you get to see Willem Dafoe gunning people down in drag, which is something everyone should watch at least once.
