Mona Lisa
The Butcher Boy
Angel
The Crying Game
The Company Of Wolves
top 5 in no particular order. All share the haunting quality that is a trademark of Jordan at his best. Angel, in particular, stays with you long after the credits roll (it also has a great deal to do with Stephen Rea's creased, expressive and perma-sad face!) Mona Lisa contains Bob Hoskins' best performance, and the film is the humanitarian, psychosis-free counterpart to Taxi Driver. Great stuff!

  1. The Miracle
  2. The End of the Affair
  3. The Company of Wolves
  4. The Crying Game
  5. Mona Lisa
  6. The Good Thief
  7. Breakfast on Pluto
  8. Danny Boy
  9. Michael Collins
    I haven't seen too many of these for too long. Neil Jordan is an
    interesting novelist himself, and The Miracle is the kind of perfect,
    brilliant story-telling that seems to have disappeared from English
    language cinema. The End of the Affair is amazingly well-made,
    and Julianne Moore is at her best. Breakfast on Pluto is a great
    bookend to The Crying Game, and The Good Thief is such an elegant
    heist film. Don't care for Butcher Boy or his studio projects.
    On the whole, I think most of Jordan's recent films are very good.
    If they are box office failures, that is really the audience's fault.

I'm not saying it's bad, I actually quite like/love all of Jordan's stuff - he's hugely underrated - but I just liked the others better.

One of my fave directors who hasn't "clicked" recently enough it seemshis writing is so experiemental I wish he'd bring more of that to his films again.
Still Company of Wolves may top my list - but I would put End of the Affair far higher on my list than you
