This is a compilation of my top 10 movies. It was very hard to compile the list since i like every movie i see until i have an expectation from it as was the case of RNBJ and Dev-D, though i liked the later but it will never reach the list of my all time favorites..
1. Life is Beautiful
The movie is about a lover, who can do anything to get the love of his life, a father who will go to any limits to protect his son from the hands of the Nazis. The story tells about the misery of the Jews during the world war II, but is completely different from the rest of the other holocaust movies (The Reader, The Pianist etc). It's a fiction but fills in a great level of optimism in to you. The way the story has been narrated is awesome, in few times you see that a movie which has every emotions shown to the extremes, but told with such beauty that makes you feel the two hours you spent are worth for it. Hats off to the director, the actors especially Joshua and his father. I saw it when i was at lowest point in my life till now and taught me that you can't have the lowest point in your life and that is the beauty of it. seriously Life is Beautiful.. Isn't it? ask yourselves...2. The Braveheart
The movie tells you the story of a war hero, the war against exploitation, war against the poverty, war for Freedom for his country.. a true freedom fighter since you can't have the freedom always by non-violence.. It teaches how a non-violent man, William Wallace leads the entire scottish community to fight against the british, the true hero of scotland though while the knights of the scotland fighting against each other for the power, he led the people to fight for their freedom. The movie is 3 hours in length but you won't get bore until the casting appears.Gladiator, King Arthur, Troy are similar movies with the same intensity as this, so watch them also
3. Shawshank Redemption
"you die the day your dreams die". The hopes, the dreams of a man in the prison and a great friendship with the inmates keeps him alive in the situations where most crumble. The movie might look like a normal movie at first but wait till the end and it will leave you speechless.http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111161/ says it all. The only movie of its kind
4. The Dark Knight
Hats off to Heath Ledger!! The movie was incomplete without the Joker, never ever i have felt that a character can change the entire movie.. though others were good too but it was the Joker who made movie watching worthwhile. The Oscars are due for the actor.. though i was little surprised that the movie dint make it to the Oscars, but who am i to comment on it.. the best movie of 2008.5. Cinderella Man
The story of a boxer who completely involves you into his life. A story of a fighter trying to prove his mettle against all odds, to come from nothing and achieving everything, regaining his lost fame. A biography told to perfection!!6. A Beautiful Mind
The movie is about a mathematician who has schizophrenia, and ends up in a mental asylum, though he fights back. The movie is very close to me as it brought me the world of holywood, the first english movie i saw, though at that time i understood only a part of it actually the concept only but i loved it when i saw it again. Russel Crowe is awesome.7. Remember The Titans
It's Not another story of blacks vs white. its a laugh at those racists who still believe that theirs a superior race for they are white. The movie is about a school rugby team which have this fight of black and white which becomes more prominent when a black is chosen as their coach leaving behind the favorite coach of the team. Its a story how he reunites the team and leads them to conquer other teams until... The rest is history. If you like this movie also see Glory Road.8. Hotel Rwanda
It will surely make you cry. The real story of a hotel manager who tries to save the people of tutsi tribe in the great civilian war that took place in early 90' s in Rwanda. The Hutu tribe is hunting for all the tutsi people (the same happened in hindu muslim riots), raping women killing children, hunting innocent people, but then comes a man who provides refuge to a group of tutsi people against odds, the UN comes and goes. The scenes where the cruelty on the tutsi tribe is shown moves you apart, a well documented story with a great acting leaves you to do nothing but appreciate it.9. The Butterfly Effect
One of the two sci-fi movies (the other one is eternal sunshine of spotless mind) that i liked. The film deals with time travel, going into the past to change your present. Though I liked the movie a lot but i would seriously warn ,those who don't believe in time-travel and like only some sort of drama and emotions in a movie, not to watch it. For everybody else a must watch :)10. 50 first Dates
Ever went on a First Date with the same woman 50 times.. Can you love somone who is surely to forget you the next day you will meet her. Strange it may sound but this is the theme of the movie. See the movie yourself to have the feel of true love.
