FILM 1
300
I love this movie for the way the slow narration somehow does justice to the action and pace of the battles. Beautifully directed and SPECTACULAR special FX.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FILM 2
Lord of the Rings (The Felowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, The Return of the King)
All the three parts of the LoTR are meant to be seen together.
This is one long 12 hour movie.
Reasons for selecting this are obvious. (because it really IS that good)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FILM 3
Fight Club
Very few people will find Tyler and the narrator as interesting. If you think deeply about it, all that is mentioned in this movie is true. After a dozen punches and knocks, you do realise that you can tolerate the pain.
Also, the attention to detail is absolutely astonishing.
'... we are the all singing all dancing crap of the world...'
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FILM 4
The Pursuit of Happyness
There are too many reasons why i like this film.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FILM 5
Shawshank Redemption
Arguably one of the best films ever made.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FILM 6
Forrest Gump
'... life is like a box of chocolates...'
hardly anyone understands a simple person. Sometimes, you should just do what you want to.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FILM 7
Gladiator
Tough choice between this one and Troy.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FILM 8
The Godfather (1, 2, 3)
Its all about the family...
(another long 12 hour movie)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FILM 9
Oceans 11
The really enjoyable movies are the ones that blind your capacity to reason. You must be able to watch what is shown without allowing your mind to sense the ficticious parts of a movie.. Danny Ocean n his crew have done that very well.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FILM 10
Cinderella Man
A great dad, a loving husband and a true man. (he did get the 'turtle')
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FILM 11
Beautiful Mind
Crazy people are sometimes interesting.. painful.. but interesting.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FILM 12
Gone in 60 Seconds
cause i love cars.. :-D
