Random Observation/Comment #456: Sometimes I think I’m in a movie. Part of me wishes it’s a romantic comedy with cliche catch phrases, but the cooler part of me just wants it to become a sci fi post-apocalyptic zombie film where I’m a sniper.
Why This List?
We all love getting lost in the story and growing with the characters. Good movies are like good speeches – they move us and inspire us to consider another perspective. There are good movies that have really badass special effects and no plot whatsoever, but I wanted to see the ones I remembered. I will refrain from giving personal explanations for each of these or else I’d be here forever.
- Forrest Gump
- Guardians of the Galaxy
- The Avengers
- The Terminal
- The Darjeeling Limited
- A Chinese Odyssey (Part 1 & 2)
- Lost in Translation
- The Matrix
- Book of Eli
- Leon the Professional
- Beauty and the Beast
- Ratatouille
- Star Wars (y’know, the good one)
- Wall-E
- A Clockwork Orange
- Braveheart
- Love Actually
- 3 Idiots (watched it with subtitles)
- Finding Nemo
- The Princess Bride
- Groundhog Day
- Moulin Rouge
- The Godfather
- Up
- Drunken Master 2
- Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
- Fight Club
- Office Space
- Shanghai Noon / Shanghai Knights
- The Dark Knight (the joker was so cool)
Looking back on this list, I think I’ve watched way too many movies in my life to only recommend 30. I think these are movies that I’ve seen more than 3 times and would certainly watch 15 more. I’ll probably make an alternative list of 30 for honorable mentions later.
