Try these!
Titanic (1997)- great plot, Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet are outstanding, tearjerker, thrilling, Oscar-winning
Slumdog Millionaire (2008)- great plot, great soundtrack, an eye-opener, inspiring, artistic, Oscar-winning
Milk (2008)- great adaptation of a true story, inspiring, Sean Penn and Josh Brolin are absolutely amazing (so is James Franco), Oscar-winning
The Dark Knight (2008)- don’t worry, I’m not a huge fan of Batman, but this film is absolutely great. I haven’t even seen the first two Batman movies, but it didn’t even matter. The plot is perfect, the action is suspensful and thrilling, Heath Ledger was absolutely phenomenal in his role as The Joker. Every time there was a scene change, I would hope he’d be on screen because his role is just so creepy and flatout crazy. The movie takes turns you don’t see coming and the whole thing is a masterpiece.
Harold and Maude (1971)- honestly it’s a little weird, great quotes, a dark comedy with a sad but fulfilling ending that makes you feel happy and sad at the same time, great soundtrack (Cat Stevens), hilarious in an odd way, great story. But again, very weird and kind of odd. This is not a stupid comedy by any means, but rather a great story about life and death, full of funny moments. It is a really odd movie to try to describe but easily one of my all-time favortites. Please see it, although like I said you will see that it is odd within the first five minutes but just keep watching. Made me cry a bit at the end. This is a great story, it really is. It makes you think deeply as you roll on the floor laughing, and leaves you with a really great message and feel. In the end, it is a feel-good, quirky, hilarious and heartfelt movie. The perfect combo. Strongly recommend this one.
No Country for Old Men (2007)- suspensful, visually captivating, a bit bloody, thrilling, a bit confusing so you have to really pay attention throughout the film and you may need to see it again to understand it better, gives you chills, great acting by Tommy Lee Jones, Josh Brolin, and especially Javier Bardem, perfectly put together, great quotes, Oscar-winning
If you are looking for a comedy, I’d say "17 Again" (2009)- hilarious! Kinda sad and heart warming at parts and so worth it.
If you are looking for a great romace, I’d say "The Notebook." It breaks your heart and has a great plot. Major tearjerker.
If you are planning to go to the movies, I’d say see "Nine" or "Avatar" in 3-D. "Nine" has Daniel Day-Lewis, Penelope Cruz, Nicole Kidman, Kate Hudson, Fergie, Marion Cotillard, Judy Dench, and Sophia Loren. "Avatar" sends a great message to the world about saving the environment, in a way that is visually stunning and very creative. There are also parts of this movie that portray some prominent aspects of whats going on with America and other countries right now. There are a few lines that will make you refer back to a political or environmental point of view. And I don’t even like sci-fi, but this movie was great and definitely worth seeing in 3-D. This movie won Best Picture and Best Director at the Golden Globes 2010.
Hope this helps!
