It’s a very difficult task to pick only 10 movies from all the great movies that I have watched over the years. Definitely in websites like https://imdb.com you can find a list of top 50 or 100 movies anytime, that’s why I’ll stick to my personal favorites. You might not find them good, but then, to each his own.
Shawshank Redemption: I have watched this movie so many times that I can’t count. This is the only movie I can watch three times in a row. Whenever I watch this movie my heart feels with a feeling of joy and hope. This is one movie where each and every actor acted superbly. Special mention Bob Gunton, Tim Robbins, Morgan Freeman.
Pulp Fiction: Extremely bizarre gangster drama from Quentin Tarantino. Great music, great script, great action and above all superb acting from Sam Jackson and Travolta. Definitely a must-watch.
Saving Private Ryan: The best war movie I’ve ever seen. Spielberg at his best. This is one movie, which makes you believe how devastating a war could be. Tom Hanks gives a stunning performance.
Matrix: Although I didn’t like the sequels, Matrix was simply fantastic. I had to watch the movie twice to completely understand the idea that the movie conveys. This is a movie that wins because of the complex concept and revolutionary actions. This movie makes the acting performances secondary.
One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest: A brilliant Jack Nicholson gives a staggering performance in this movie. Jack Nicholson takes the whole movie on his shoulder and comes out winner. This is a must-watch for everybody.
The Sixth Sense: This is another movie, which has a brilliant concept and a very subtle way to show that. This movie is so good that you won’t even think if the actors acted well or not.
A Beautiful Mind: This movie has made me a Russell Crowe Fan. This extremely eerie true story keeps its viewers guessing almost throughout the movie. Watch this movie for Russell Crowe and see how he completely dissolves himself with the character of John Nash.
Philadelphia: Watch this movie not just because it deals with a sensitive subject, watch it for the great acting from Denzel Washington and Tom Hanks. Not many movies have a huge star cast and great acting like this one.
Cast Away: Again my favorite actor Tom Hanks solely takes the whole movie on his shoulder and gives an astounding performance. You will believe in human power if you watch this movie. Tom Hanks RULES!
Titanic: This is a spectacular movie. This was gargantuan project, which has become the biggest hit in the history of the cinema. The performances of the actors were okay, but watching this movie is an experience of lifetime. A must-watch.
