Idea for this came from Teny's review. Hmm... its not easy to pick 10 out of a hundred but as haphazard my thoughts may be, yours truly will give it a shot....
Terminator 2: Judgement Day
I have no idea how many times I have watched it but I have no intentions of letting go. How can one create such a flawless array of action sequences strung in a story thats so futuristic and yet believable is beyond me. You somehow sense anger in machines. You get the sense of relentless pursuit, of impending doom.... its all so right.
Titanic
Tell me you didn't cry when Jack went down in arctic! I am no senti fool but then this movie is intended to make me one. The freshness of the love story, the brilliant acting and
Life is beautiful
A story set in the world war that has undertones of sacrifice and unconditional love. It has everything - humor and drama. Really touching movie that is a masterpiece - no less.
American Beauty
It start on a very light note of usual physical attraction but ends up with a serious meaning. Brilliant acting and cinematography that deserves the highest honour. Its a movie that you understand after watching it - wierd yes but amazing.
The fast and the furious
This thing inspired a whole new lot of tuner-clad racing genre in gaming - no mean feat. And Vin Diesel.... dynamite. They tell me Hitman is being made into a movie with him as Agent47...
Baby's day out
Light humor that is anything but light. Went on a trip by school to see it and those days it was regular on tv too. Absolute rofl stuff and I am still wondering if it was a baby that young who did all that acting...
Rocky 1-5
Ok I am another one of those Rocky fan - 3rd part being my favorite. No other movie is so inspiring to the fire deep within your dormant belly. Yes it got overboard sometimes but it was unique and I love it.
Forrest Gump
A story thats just mesmerising. An actor who reaches the edge of perfection. An ending that will break the hardest of souls. Forrest Gump is one movie that you remember and not recall...
Scary Movie series
Spoof the best movies, get in a cast thats as varied as can be and you get one of the most hilarious movies of all. Sure the spoofs have sexual undertones or lets say ... overtones but if you can appreciate that humor, its top notch which isn't easily achievable.
Matrix Trilogy
I must admit - I haven't yet completely deciphered the story but then what the hell, I love it. I don't need to tell you that the action is unbelievable and that the background rock score is equally amazing but I will -
8 Mile
Amazing rap battles and a realistic story of survival among all adversities. The backwaters are shown in a way that seems dead real ... almost frightening.
And I try, sit alone and I cry
Yo I won't tell no lie, not a moment goes by
that I dont pray to the sky
Godfather
Low roofs signifying an atmosphere of congestion, Brando in his masterpiece and Pacino eyes... More said the less it all seems.
"Don't laugh. It hurts my intelligence"
I cudn't make it one less so the list stands at 12. Others include Basketball Diaries, American Pie2, Stanley and Iris, Gladiator, Beautiful mind....
