8 ‘The Social Network’ Directed by David Fincher It often takes a while for a film to reach “all-time” status, but David Fincher’s brilliant biopic The Social Network has already been embraced as a modern classic. Loosely based on a true story, The Social Network chronicles the friendship and rivalry between Harvard colleague Mark Zuckerberg and Eduardo Saverin during the founding of Facebook.
7 ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ Directed by Marc Webb The Amazing Spider-Man is a lot better than its reputation suggests. Initially, Marc Webb’s superhero reboot was dismissed for its structural similarities with the original Spider-Man film starring Tobey Maguire from 2002. However, The Amazing Spider-Man succeeds in giving a modern update of the classical mythology; Garfield was able to personify what being an “outsider” looked like for a different generation.
6 ‘99 Homes’ Directed by Ramin Bahrani A powerful legal drama that spoke to highly relevant issues about America’s housing crisis, 99 Homesis among the most important films that Garfield ever appeared in. He stars as a young father who is recruited by a ruthless real estate agent who is intent on evicting people from their homes in order to increase his profit margins. The situation speaks to the perils of the American wealth disparity, and shows the inherently ruthless nature of capitalism.
It would have been very easy for Hacksaw Ridge to focus on the violence of war, but Garfield shows the true spirit of heroism in his inspiring performance. Although there is certainly a good deal of Christian mythology that influences the film, Garfield allows Hacksaw Ridge to speak to universal themes about goodness that are relevant to viewers of any religious background.
