Icon What's the best movie you have enter seen?

Post by Esies98 »

It can be a very old movie or the one that was released this week but you can't stop think about. For me it would be Roberto Benigni's "Life is Beautiful" what about you?

That is a hard question to answer. For the Christmas season, I would have to say "A Christmas Story". For non-holiday movies, probably "Out of Africa".

Incredibly tough to pick just one. Pulp Fiction and Last of the Mohicans rank near my top.

Ex Machina by Alex Garland is one of the best movies I have ever seen. It explores the world of Artificial Intelligence and just how close we are to being exposed to robots that look human. I highly recommend that everyone see this movie. I had to purchase it just so I could watch it at will.

I don't watch a lot of movies; however, I have two very different movies that rank highly.

Girl Interrupted, the movie based off of Susana Kayson's memior, is absolutely amazing. Angelina Jolie plays the best sociopath I have ever seen. It made me laugh, cry throughout the entire thing. My mom probably thought I was bipolar after watching it with her lol.

My second favorite is Hannibal. The only movie to ever make me become so disgusted and nearly pass out, while Anthony Hopkins fed the detective his brains. My mom was laughing while I was trying to keep the enormous tub of popcorn I had eaten in my stomach. I had to watch it a few times to really laugh at the irony.

One of my favorites is The perks of Being a Wallflower. I watched it for the first time about a year ago. I liked it because I really identified with the main character and even though it was kind of sad it still a good ending.

The best movie I've ever seen is Schindler's List. It is not necessarily in my top five favorite movies of all time, but it does make my list of favorites. The reason I say it is the "best" is because it's the kind of movie that can change your life. Also, it is beautifully directed and devastating to watch.

Dear goodness! I love Life is Beautiful so much. Movies like that make me feel so hopeful and good and happy. I think the movies I end up liking the most are the ones I don't see coming, in terms of quality and depth. I didn't expect to really like Crazy, Stupid, Love, and even though it isn't the best movie of all time, I watched it during my flight to Los Angeles without knowing anything about the film except that it stars Ryan Gosling.

That's an easy one for me ... The Red Violin.

Unfortunately I can not limit it to the best movie I have ever seen; I have a list of about 5-7.
Three of the movies star James Stewart: 1) Harvey; 2) It's a Wonderful Life; and Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.
Then there is Casablanca with Humphrey Bogart
Goodbye Mr. Chips.
North by North West with Cary Grant
