- DirectorSteven SpielbergStarsTom HanksMatt DamonTom SizemoreFollowing the Normandy Landings, a group of U.S. soldiers go behind enemy lines to retrieve a paratrooper whose brothers have been killed in action.Simply one of the greatest movies ever made, and is definitely Steven Spielberg's best work. Tom Hanks is spectacular in his role as Captain John Miller. This movie has the ability to leave me overwhelm with sadness every time as it thoroughly depicts what World War 2 was really like and the struggle the soldiers faced. It hits every note for me that is why its number 1 in my book.
- DirectorHayao MiyazakiStarsDaveigh ChaseSuzanne PleshetteMiyu IrinoDuring her family's move to the suburbs, a sullen 10-year-old girl wanders into a world ruled by gods, witches and spirits, and where humans are changed into beasts.Perhaps the greatest animated movie of all time "Spirited Away" is just a beautiful masterpiece. It was written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki who is a master of anime cinema and is also known for many other films for example "Howls Moving Castle". This movie looks stunning and one of the most unique films I've ever seen. It even won an Oscar for best animated feature and has also won 36 other awards! There's nothing more i can say
- DirectorPeter JacksonStarsElijah WoodViggo MortensenIan McKellenGandalf and Aragorn lead the World of Men against Sauron's army to draw his gaze from Frodo and Sam as they approach Mount Doom with the One Ring.The last entry into the Lord of the Rings trilogy and i have to say it was absolutely brilliant. The suspense of this movie is unparalleled and everything from acting to effects was done to near perfection. The battle of Pelennor fields is breathtaking and the effects still look amazing 10 years later. The cast is phenomenal and suit there characters with ease. I am always on the edge of my seat when watching this movie, It will always be Peter Jackson's finest work.
- DirectorJames CameronStarsSigourney WeaverMichael BiehnCarrie HennDecades after surviving the Nostromo incident, Ellen Ripley is sent out to re-establish contact with a terraforming colony but finds herself battling the Alien Queen and her offspring.James Cameron is a *beep* genius! It was a hard choice to pick between the first and this one, but this film was slightly better on the pure fact of seeing the Queen. I remember seeing this movie as a child and being scared beyond belief but now I can truly appreciate how good this movie is. The Special Effects are nearly flawless and still look great and 28 years later I am still convinced. James Cameron did an amazing job adapting Ridley Scott's masterpiece into a sequel. Sigourney Weaver plays her role amazingly and deserves to be a cinematic icon
- DirectorFrancis Ford CoppolaStarsAl PacinoRobert De NiroRobert DuvallThe early life and career of Vito Corleone in 1920s New York City is portrayed, while his son, Michael, expands and tightens his grip on the family crime syndicate.My father taught me many things. Keep your friends close but keep your enemies closer. Even though both movies were spectacular I preferred the second one as Al Pacino and Robert De Niro were incredible in this movie. This film is about the early life of Vito Corleone in 1920s new york and follows the reign of Don Michael Corleone as the head of the Corleone family. This film is a timeless classic and forever shall be one of the finest films ever made.
- DirectorLana WachowskiLilly WachowskiStarsKeanu ReevesLaurence FishburneCarrie-Anne MossWhen a beautiful stranger leads computer hacker Neo to a forbidding underworld, he discovers the shocking truth--the life he knows is the elaborate deception of an evil cyber-intelligence.By far the best movie out of the three, this movie blew my mind and really showed off Keanu Reeves acting talent. Morpheus has become such a recognizable character that many people refer to the actors name as Morpheus! Its actually Lawrence Fishburne. Anyway This movie really was unique and definitely exploited the fact that nothing is what it seems. All in all The Matrix is a must watch.
- DirectorRidley ScottStarsRussell CroweJoaquin PhoenixConnie NielsenA former Roman General sets out to exact vengeance against the corrupt emperor who murdered his family and sent him into slavery.Ridley Scott again shows off his directing prowess with this masterpiece. This movie is excellent and is Russel Crowe's best role. He plays a favored Roman general named Maximus who is betayed by the emperor's corrupt son who kills his family. This movie has stunning dialogue amazing action with graphic battle scenes. Every actor plays there role strongly. Russel Crowe definitely deserved an Oscar for this movie for his amazing performance and the quote " Are you not entertained?!"
- DirectorKathryn BigelowStarsJeremy RennerAnthony MackieBrian GeraghtyDuring the Iraq War, a Sergeant recently assigned to an army bomb squad is put at odds with his squad mates due to his maverick way of handling his work.I'm glad this movie got the attention it deserved, when i first saw this on DVD i was amazed, it is the best modern day war movie I've seen. Jeremy Renner is great in his role as EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) unit, and really portrays the stuggle that he and his soldiers face. Kathryn Bigelow did an incredible job on a small budget and she deserved to be the first woman to win an Oscar
- DirectorChristopher NolanStarsChristian BaleHeath LedgerAaron EckhartWhen the menace known as the Joker wreaks havoc and chaos on the people of Gotham, Batman must accept one of the greatest psychological and physical tests of his ability to fight injustice.The second entry to Christopher Nolan's Batman Trilogy and i have to say it was close to flawless. Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker was indescribably it was so close to perfection and its tragic he didn't receive the Oscar he so rightfully deserved due to his untimely death. This movie made Batman what it is today and every element of it was amazing. I'm sure most people have seen this movie but if you haven't watch it now!
- DirectorJames McTeigueStarsHugo WeavingNatalie PortmanRupert GravesIn a future British dystopian society, a shadowy freedom fighter, known only by the alias of "V", plots to overthrow the tyrannical government - with the help of a young woman.Hugo Weaving shows off his acting skills in this movie by playing the notorious freedom fighter known as V. In the future Britain becomes a fascist state and V uses terrorist tactics to attack the oppressive society. This movie is incredible and is extremely under rated by the general public, it is truly a movie of pure genius. The Wachowki's were the writers and if you've seen the Matrix you just have to watch this.
