1. Sin City (2005)
Rodriguez has made a lot of great movies, but his very best to date is his collaboration with comic book legend Frank Miller, bringing Miller’s noir world of Sin City to life. Not only is the film jam-packed with amazing actors, and not only are the stories gut-wrenching and cool, the pair worked to give the movie a pulpy, comic book-inspired, visual language that set it apart from not only all other comic book movies, but basically all other movies period. It’s not just good, it’s innovative, and so it tops our list.
