The 10 must-see movies
Mar 26 '01
The Bottom Line Have you seen these films ? If yes , then you must agree with me that they are very very good. If no , WHY NOT ?
There are some movies that are so inspired and make you feel warm after watching it. They make you feel that what you watched are not "just a movie". They're the good combination of arts of making films and touching story.
Here are the list of the films that impress me so much (not in order)
1) The Gladiator By the times I'm typing this , Gladiator has already got the Oscar awards for the leading actor from Russell Crowe, and the best film. The story of Maximus , the Roman general and Commodus , the emperor's son (starring by Joaquin Phoenix , Oscar Nominee as well). If you like to see the great production then Gladiator is my number one recommend for now.
2)Good Will Hunting The story of the janitor of MIT , who was also the genius. The film was written (and also starred) by the duo , Matt Damon ,and Ben Affleck and they got the academy awards for it. Another outstanding performance in the film was from Robin Williams who was the counselor of the young genius in the film.
3)The Shawshank Redemption Andy Dufresne , the banker who was sentenced to 2 consecutive life terms by the crimes he didn't commit , was sent to the Shawshank prison. This story from Stephen King's novel showed the beauty of friendships , hope ,and the light side of life even though it was the story in jail !
4)Gattaca If you like the scientific film , then this is the one. Ethan Hawke starring as Vincent , the young guy who dreamed to be the astronaut but would never be able to join Gattaca because he was not borned by the process of genetic engineering. The only way for him to make his dream come true was to "being someone else"
5)The Thin Red Line The story of the group of men who were the soldiers during the World War II. They were sent to the field by the mission but what they discovered was their own selves.
6)Life Is Beautiful This film was really touching , inspiring , and very optimistic. Roberto Benigni wrote ,directed , and starred superbly in this academy awards winner for the foreign films.
7)The Fight Club The David's Fincher film about the invention of Tyler Durden , projectionist ,waiter and dark, anarchic genius, and his plans for revenge on a world. Starring by Brad Pitt and Edward norton.
8) LA. Confidential Corrupt cops , elegant hookers, murder cover-ups , and manipulative paparazzi. Those are the mixes of LA confidential ,the story of 3 detectives who used their own tactics to investigate the crimes.
9)The Usual Suspects Gabriel Byrne, Kevin Spacey, Benicio Del Toro, Kevin Pollak, and Stephen Baldwin played as 5 career criminals in the one of the most fascinating crime thrillers in cinema history. The film also got the oscar from the screenplay by Christopher McQuarrie.
10)The American History X Edward Norton's superb performance as Derek Vinyard who had to try to change his brother's mind about Nazi idea. Derek's brother , Danny , was played by Edward Furlong.
These are my favorite films. There are a few more that I didn't mention such as Magnolia , Braveheart , Forrest Gump ... Think I will write about those films later.
