Guillermo Del Toro’s Pinocchio
Gregory Mann is famed as the protagonist, giving Pinocchio an endless sweetness and innocence that, mercifully, never evolves vexing. Whenever he emerges on television, Ewan McGregor feeds worthy comedic relief and is a complete high to witness.
David Bradley is fantastic as Geppetto; he discreetly conveys the character’s anguish so that it tears your heart and enhances the enjoyment of his happy times. Christoph Waltz, who is as immaculate as ever with another indeed nasty role, completes the cast.
The directing by Guillermo Del Toro and Mark Gustafson is just amazing; everything from the characters’ movements to their designs and the nostalgic color scheme is stunning and endlessly entertaining. Amazing Alexandre Desplat music gives the movie the fine intuition for a story and all this gets well complemented by the animation. The characters a subtle and blend with the background and other screen characters.

Blue Ruin
The deserving retaliation thriller Blue Ruin proves that America can still produce this genre. These low-tech movies are the antithesis of the big, glossy Hollywood blockbuster, and it’s all for the better.
This is a pure, illicit nail-biter. It is terrifyingly silent. Dwight is a reserved person. The violence is severe, gruesome, and icky. It is easy-going and realistic rather than stylized. It’s a crime-horror combination in an independent film.
There is no fun dialogue. It works quite well. Although Blue Ruin is rather simple and predictable, it orders the unexpected turns a tale needs.
Dwight’s background can be progressively displayed while staying wrapped in mystery—not so slowly that it becomes tedious for the audience. You won’t be crying, but it has its appropriate mix of gory gore, which is entertaining, and heartstring-tugging, which is quite heartbreaking. Overall its a good on-screen experience.
- Released in: 2022

Sorry to Bother You
The narrative centers on Cassius, an Oakland-based African-American telemarketer. When taught to employ his “white voice” when making calls for work, he swiftly moves up the ranks of his trade and receives a large promotion.
Things start to spin out of control all of a sudden quickly. The movie invariably features fantastic concerts, holding viewers’ attention for the whole course. It doesn’t have pacing problems, progresses quickly, and makes a lot of strange turns, so you never know what could happen next.
The film’s brilliance lies in large part in its chaotic character. Boots Riley was able to stay one step ahead of spectators well while making them laugh heartily and wonder why and how our society may be in serious decline.
If such a style of story filming were risked to be used as an approach in nearly another movie, it would fail miserably. Another notable factor of the movie is its superior rap & pop music which is spread across the whole film and played in key moments which makes the whole movie fun.
- Released in: 2018
- IMDB Score: 6.9

St. Vincent
Bill Murray plays the drunk, moody gambler Vietnam veteran Vincent MacKenna. He’s out of money now. Even Daka, played by Naomi Watts, a pregnant Russian prostitute, cannot be paid for her frequent visits.
Oliver and divorced Maggie Bronstein, played by Naomi Watts and Melissa McCarthy, move in next door. Vincent is the target of Zucko’s, played by Naomi Watts and Terrence Howard, efforts to collect debts. Oliver is taunted at school. Vincent wants to be compensated for watching the children, and they develop an unexpected connection.
Oliver’s class is charged by Brother Geraghty, played by Naomi Watts and Chris O’Dowd, to decide if a person they know deserves sainthood. Bill Murray is becoming better at portraying these pessimistic roles and we can expect this from him given that he is so experienced.
The little child is upright and cute but not overly so. Melissa McCarthy makes an exact scenic turn and Naomi Watts needs to give up her Russian accent, certainly.
- Released in: 2014

Still Alice
In the glorious, heartbreaking film “Still Alice,” Julianne Moore’s Alice Howland must haggle with that prospect. Alice, who is 50 years old, has a wonderful life. Alec Baldwin’s Dr. John Howland, the character she is blissfully married to.
Their oldest daughter Anna is married, expecting twins, and is a lawyer. In contrast, their youngest daughter Lydia, played by Kristen Stewart, has grown as an actor since the “Twilight” series and is pursuing a career in acting. Moore masterfully and gently depicts the mental deterioration of her character.
Since her shape is progressing quickly, the directors use the camera’s focus—or lack thereof—to portray her episodes since she is an unreliable narrator.
The movie contains a lot of heartwarming events and moments, and everything is handled honestly and sensitively. All in all, it’s a recommended watch, a sensitive movie filled with emotions and performances.
- Released in: 2015

The Perks of Being a Wallflower
When talking about the issues that teens face, The Perk was in awe. The depth to which this story penetrates will pleasantly surprise anyone who decides to see this movie expecting a typical high school drama or childish angst design.
This film adaption of Stephen Chbosky’s book seems to take the challenges a young guy fronted as he started his high school career and put them through a series of harsh circumstances. This story is about a boy coming of age and acclimating to high school and maturity.
Freshman Charlie, played by Logan Lerman, befriends Patrick, played by Ezra Miller, and Sam, Patrick’s stepsister, played by Emma Watson, almost by accident and we all know Emma Watson, and what she is capable of. He will soon be hanging around and learning the ins and outs of adolescence. But something is left unsaid; is it his aunt or his prior best friend? The script for the movie is quite clever.
Sometimes, they could even be a bit too clever since the students are far too glib and hipster-like most of the time. However, it is entertaining the entire term, quite gratifying, and haggles with some challenging issues, some of which are seldom addressed.
- Released in: 2012
- IMDB Score: 7.9
- Runtime: 1 Hour 45 Minutes

Raw
This masterfully timed film will daze you as it touches on some primary beliefs. The movie follows introverted and intelligent Justine, played by Garance Marillier, on her first day of school at a university where everyone is studying to be a veterinarian.
At her first party, she meets her elder sister Alexia, played by Ella Rumpf, who is also pursuing a career in veterinary medicine and wants to protect and torture her junior. Although violence has long been a semi-sexual act in horror movies, this one feels different because of the needs and responses it elicits.
They have a great vigor that can only be indicated as a critter or nasty; they are also fairly terrifying. Ducournau directs the sensual and graphic scenes in the movie at her best.
They have the competence and oath of an established director making a comeback, not a newcomer. It is a good watch, and you will like the whole setup created by the director and the writers.

The Bleeding Edge
The Bleeding Edge is greatly magnetic since it not only saturates viewers with dry statistics but also displays the sorrow of actual people.
Accidents could occur, but it’s horrid to deem that the F.D.A. and the medical business would actively manipulate, deceive, and mislead to maximize profits. Yes, it would be best if you did your homework before taking any remedies, setting up any medical equipment in your body, or controlling any surgery.
According to a brilliantly made documentary, the F.D.A. and the industry failed to stop the devastating fitness clouts that four modern medical gimmicks have had on certain patients. It is a good movie that will make you wonder how the medical industry works, it is a big thing, and there are many moving elements in the movie.
This movie made a good representation of how the industry is. Just check it out yourself, and you will see what I am discussing.

The Florida Project
You may accept from the description that this is an inspirational movie about surviving adversity. It isn’t. It is a character study of people who have effectively expired but are unaware of it. They live week to week in a cheap hotel in Florida with no possibilities for the future, which is fair to say; society has no purpose for them either.
It’s depressing but enjoyable as their lives drag along with a prosperous mom working at a restaurant, a man who believes things will be great in New Orleans, and the main character, a hooker and petit-crime type, with a cute, at-risk child.
It is a good watch; you will love William Dafoe; he always uplifts the scene with his timing and delivery plus, the kids in the movie are also very mature, and you will not have the idea that they are ids; overall, the setup of the whole movie is very good.
- Released in: 2017

Phantom Thread
Daniel Day-Lewis, one of my favorite actors, does fantastic acting. He is as alluring as ever. Fantastic cast. For them, background music is compelling. Superior is the direction; I think people who complain it is muted lack a sense of drama.
We refer to this as evolved drama. There are many complaints about how lazy it is. Some people are unaware of what it truly brings, the motive. Some dislike the notion. You knew where you were heading, after all.
Phantom Thread is a masterfully written and hypnotic work of literature. Paul Thomas Anderson delivered something completely new and all you could have hoped for from someone with such skill. Phantom Thread’s soundtrack plays a notable role as well.
The soundtrack, which Jonny Greenwood collected, perfectly captures the tone of each scene. It may be rhythmic, romantic, aggressive, suspenseful, or all three simultaneously.
- Released in: 2017
- IMDB Score: 7.4
- Runtime: 2 Hours 10 Minutes
- Cast: Daniel Day-Lewis, Lesley Manville, Vicky Krieps, and Others

Layer Cake
The acting is perfect and seamless around. The acting and conversation always manage to carry on situations that may drag on a little longer than you’d like.
The acting was spotless, and several suspenseful moments quietly crept up on you. This covered the scenario in which our main character was applied and the factory in Amsterdam that “The Duke” and his halves looted.
The wit ingredient is also new to modern-day viewers, as I would have expected. Most of the time, these are “chuckle to yourself” moments, but something makes you want to laugh sporadically. Add to this Daniel Craig’s timing, which becomes a complete package.
- Released in: 2004

- Runtime: 1 Hour 45 Minutes
- Cast: Daniel Craig, Colm Meaney, Kenneth Cranham, George Harris, Jamie Foreman, Sienna Miller, and Others

Stranger Than Fiction
Original plot; Ferrell, Thompson, and Hoffman all had memorable renditions. This movie contains the most moving Will Ferrell performance I’ve ever seen. Some people may initially find the plot too unbelievable to take seriously, but it works.
It becomes apparent that Harold Crick is a creation of reclusive author Karen Eiffel, a lady who is known for being able to murder all the key characters in her books. The issue is that Karen is struggling severely with writer’s block.
She has no idea how to get rid of Harold Crick, who she is obsessed with. The memorable skits by Ferrell and Thompson are what make the movie succeed.
The movie just could not have been made without these two. I suggest this movie to everyone who wants to laugh, weep, and then laugh some more. This movie is a complete package in my opinion.
- Released in: 2006
- IMDB Score: 7.5

Leave No Trace
Ben Foster and Thomason McKenzie do an impressive job as Will and Tom in this adaptation of Peter Rock’s novel. Ben Foster’s performance deserves an Oscar; it’s a great and influential performance.
Debra Granik gave the movie this honest feeling that we are watching a biopic because it might be people in the same situations as Will and Tom. The movie’s overarching topic is humanity.
The father makes all their life decisions, occasionally generating some minor friction. However, he is aware that, ultimately, his daughter will regard her options. She ultimately makes a hard choice.
The decision by the director to reduce the dialogue was a good one since it made the film feel more authentic and allowed the performers to act more naturally. Overall, it is a good father-daughter flick, which will keep you engaged and your feelings on a ride.

The Disaster Artist
James Franco unexpectedly wins your heart in the same way that Tommy did in The Room. The fact that James Franco wrote, produced, and performed in it with such subtle variations and succeeded in drawing his audience into the world around the movie.
Adjusting your mood to the atmosphere, and creating a strange expression that defines this movie’s true cult nature, is just so impressive. Analysing Tommy’s personality is difficult. He may not have oversight grades, expertise, or talent.
He occasionally even has reasons for people to dislike him. He does, yet, have something unfurling inside of him that is difficult to understand from the outside. The movie is filled with many talented artists, and that keeps the movie light and amusing.
- Released in: 2017
- IMDB Score: 7.3
- Runtime: 1 Hour 44 Minutes

Nightcrawler
Nightcrawler is an experience; it takes you on a journey through the filthy streets of Los Angeles and the corrupt media moguls’ brains, all seen through the eyes of slimy reporter Louis Bloom played by Jake Gyllenhaal, who first seems like a kind guy.
Nightcrawler is effective on several levels. The screenplay and directing are ideal, which is especially amazing given that Dan Gilroy, who handles all responsibilities, is making his directorial debut.
The movie Nightcrawler is a must-see for movie buffs. It is a masterpiece from a directorial and literary view, from an acting and fundamental principled character.
It does a great job of entrapping you in this murky, filmy world and making you not want to leave. It’s stressful, humorous, exciting, potent, and, most importantly, genuine.
- Released in: 2014

Margin Call
A superbly performed film on the financial crisis of 2007–2008. It is recounted from the perspective of one investment bank. Compared to The Wolf of Wall Street, it is quite different.
A far more realistic film that focuses on economics and leveled storytelling rather than impressing the viewer with sex and drugs. Every actor, from well-known to unknown actors aspiring to prominence, provides a majestic skit.
A crescendo during the council engagement, where Jeremy Irons physically and symbolically takes control of the terror sliding down from the opening scenes, is gained as each actor enters the scene one at a time.
If you are a fan of the stock market, then this is a must-watch; it explains the nitty & gritty of the market. It will take you on a deep ride, and you will learn a lot from this movie.
- Released in: 2011
- IMDB Score: 7.1

Frost/Nixon
One of the year’s greatest movies, Frost/Nixon, is undoubtedly a candidate for best. The film is unusual because of Langella’s amazing show as the entranced Richard Nixon, Michael Sheen’s pristine description of the stern David Frost, and Ron Howard’s glorious enactment.
Howard produces a real work of art in the vein of Oliver Stone’s masterpiece “J.F.K.” This may make it into the Top 250 with some luck.
A movie that successfully arrives at the location of its narrative searches with a very creative “political” argument. A movie with perfect theater and display, it explores our reactions to truth and lies.
- Released in: 2008
- IMDB Score: 7.1
- Runtime: 2 Hours 2 Minutes
- Cast: Frank Langella, Michael Sheen, Kevin Bacon, Rebecca Hall, Toby Jones, Matthew Macfadyen, and Others

Klaus
The writers brilliantly take the features of Santa and turn them upside-down with delightful sight gags that soar with great drama from Jesper forming relationships with the locals and Klaus emerging from the wilderness to learn the real purpose of Christmas.
They merely have an amazing holiday time in a miserable town. The animated film Klaus had a highly original interpretation of the “Christmas origin” and was uplifting.
The characters were recognizable, and the animation was quite nicely done. I loved the parallels to Tim Burton movies. It’s good to have a different Christmas movie that still captures the spirit.
- Released in: 2019

RRR
RRR is set in the 1920s and centers on the lives of two revolutionaries: Komaram Bheem, a tribal member of the Gond tribe, who fought against injustices committed against his people, and Alluri Seetharama Raju, who launched a guerrilla campaign against the British.
Every scene in the frame is painted radiantly, thanks to filmmaking and visual design. One has become accustomed to expecting plenty of flamboyance from Rajamouli.
Unapologetically theatrical and greatly knitted with itself, the background music thumps with unrelenting vigor and repetition. It numbs us into servitude, but after the intermission, the joys lessen as the rhythm picks up a little.
It is one of those movies that you should scrutinize once. The movie is also a big step up for the Hindi film industry. It showcases a simple plot in an arcane tone—a big recommendation.
- Released in: 2022
- IMDB Score: 7.8
- Runtime: 3 Hours 02 Minutes

Uncut Gems
Uncut Gems have a wonderful cast, a peach script, and fantastic storytelling. The noises, camera, and visual effects from this movie stay with you long after you leave the theater, causing anxiety.
This is the tale of a man who is constantly forced forward. Adam Sandler, the lead character, is keen to capitalize on his ambitions and passions. His family and friends come last since he prioritizes his wants and objectives.
He never gives up because he is a dreamer who believes in his vision. The authentic facts of taking risks are well underscored and dramatized in this film. Loss is the opposite of every risk-taking behavior. When this flick came out, it gained a lot of traction because of its unique story and screenplay.
The point of hazards in human existence is brought up in the film’s concluding moments. And that particular fetishes and stones aid in reducing anxiety in dangerous human behavior.
- Released in: 2019

The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind
This movie was a model in every way. With his first attempts at writing, directing, and acting, Chiwetel Ejiofor nailed it. The atmosphere and illustrations were breathtaking, and the cinematography was ideal.
William was wonderful in the young Maxwell Simba’s debut acting part. The stars in the cast did a great job. It is a heartfelt, thrilling, and motivating narrative.
The worst fault for a movie could be to adhere too closely to the literary form, notably in the major divergence of the chapters and the narrative device employed at the start of the feature.
- Released in: 2019
- IMDB Score: 7.6
- Runtime: 1 Hour 53 Minutes

A Ghost Story
The husband, played by Casey Affleck, who was going to leave his first home and move on to larger and better things, passes away tragically. The grieving process of the wife, played by Rooney Mara, is followed in the movie.
He comes back as a spirit, following her through the home and keeping an eye on her every move. He says that once they pass away, people do, keep alert over us.
I think a movie has succeeded in achieving its goals, and then some when it can show you a scene and make you seize what a character is feeling and thinking while also grazing you with a real look at our world.
This is a slow story, and maybe it will be a turn-off for the plurality of the viewers, but if you like slow burners, then it is a good entertaining movie with a surprise horror element scattered around the movie.
- Released in: 2017
- IMDB Score: 7.6

Dope
This movie is mostly about coming of age. Our main character, Malcolm, is a senior in high school who is enchanted with 90s hip-hop culture and regularly frames this love by adopting its style and vocabulary.
He is a straight-A student with good S.A.T. scores, and he seems to have everything under control until he accepts a random invitation with his two best friends to a drug dealer’s birthday party.
By ruining any shabby tropes or clichés about African-American characters, director Rick Famuyiwa subtly raises concerns about racism and classism.
But above all, he creates incredibly entertaining films. Along with the acting from the preparatory trio, the script is witty and crisp.
- Released in: 2015
- IMDB Score: 7.2
- Runtime: 1 Hour 43 Minutes
- Cast: Shameik Moore, Kiersey Clemons, Tony Revolori, Tyga, Chanel Iman, Kimberly Elise, Blake Anderson, and Others

Snowpiercer
It’s not science fiction, though. It’s neither post-apocalyptic fiction you might envision from Roland Emmerich nor a drama about a bleak future. It is a societal allegory, which the trailer should make clear.
It has to do with feet and human nature. It has to do with societal betterment. It is about the journey that corrupts and destroys the men who decide to pursue it.
Several scenes in the film will draw you in and make you feel like you are riding on the train and experiencing oppression, from Tilda Swinton‘s action to Ed Harris’ concluding analysis of human nature and why the oppressed tail section was necessary.
The movie takes place in many carriages, each containing odd and amazing locations, such as farms, nightclubs, and elementary schools. Most carriages witness much violence, with just brief flashes of optimism leading to a foreseeable climax.
A Netflix show has also been made with the same name; it has three seasons. After checking the movie, you should definitely watch the series as well.
- Released in: 2014
- IMDB Score: 7.1

Song of the Sea
The character designs in Song of the Sea are charming without being too cutesy or stereotypical. However, the eye-popping gorgeous colors and exquisitely detailed, sketchy backdrop imagery is much better.
The soundtrack is again unique, with its melancholy and lilting Celtic sound perfectly complementing and haunting the emotional tone of the drama.
The movie has a superbly crafted storyline that is intelligent, moving, and full of subtle nuances. The characters are magnetic and compelling. Ben first comes across as a little cliche, but he goes through so much character development that it is sizably simpler.
- Released in: 2014
- IMDB Score: 8.0

The Social Dilemma
It’s not a documentary on how social media is bad for you. Instead, it provides a thorough analysis of the business strategies used by these corps.
Perhaps some of the outputs are unanticipated, and it’s influential that the video includes interviews with the people susceptible to designing and implementing such systems. The most intelligent documentary you will ever see about social media.
The movie shows how the human watch span is being increasingly monetized, which is both eye-opening and scary. The astonishingly unedited video is a must-see for someone unsure about where the world is headed. This movie will open your eyes, and you will think about whether you should use social media.
- Released in: 2020

20th Century Women
The junctions in 20th Century Women focused largely on a mother and son. Mills conveys a remarkable tale with sincere emotion. Abbie and Julie both have strong dispositions.
Three ladies of mixed ages teach a boy a little about life. They have mixed accents, and their relationships with the boy are deep, yet all women embody feminism and daily practicality.
By the time this story’s conclusion, you’ll have identified with the characters and will feel for them thanks to Mills’ sympathetic narration. Although it is literary, it is not stuffy.
People in this film speak intelligently in the same tone they do in real life, not only in movies. It seems honest, as if they’ve invited you in and opened the door for you. It is very obvious when you look at the cast which is full of wise people and experienced cast.

Official Secrets
The book Official Secrets tells the actual tab of a British whistleblower who publicized the media about an unauthorized N.S.A. surveillance operation intended to persuade the U.N. Security Council to approve the 2003 war with Iraq.
Seeing the events from a British perspective was equally mesmerizing. However, I thought Katharine Gun’s life story to be far more enchanting than the historical details. Both the performance and the conversation are quite convincing.
With all of the characters, we feel their anger and fear as they bumble with matters of duty, responsibility, conscience, and personal safety. The movie describes psychological contentions that arise when one’s personal and professional morals are questioned.

The Edge of Seventeen
The Edge of Seventeen came out in 2016 and is a trendy adventure directed and written by Kelly Fermon Craig. The Edge of Seventeen, starring Hailee Steinfeld, is a drama about navigating high school and the awkward teenage years as your world breaks apart.
Kelly Fremon Craig sticks to the pattern for a coming-of-age movie while caring to touch the audience’s heartstrings and hold our attention until the end. It is clear that the film has a modern layout, but its elements sometimes get passed by the audience.
The characters and writing stay out of the predictable rut that the movie avoided. There is something in The Age of Seventeen for everyone, whether you were a Darian who emerged to have never had difficulty or a Nadine who was placed as an “old soul,” she always gets an impression of being left out in the current generation.

The Siege of Jadotville
Based on actual events, this film comes as a shock because of what it uncovers that has been thoughtfully obscured for more than 40 years.
The Irish Defence Forces’ most effective favor as United Nations peacekeepers are highlighted in the movie. Simply put, the action rows in this movie are amazing.
This movie never gets boring, but what shocked me was how many deaths the Irish soldiers pushed without losing a single one of their own. It also aids as a tribute to the skill and critique shown by their commanding officer. It is a good movie, and you will love watching the movie.

Like Crazy
In their undergraduate years, Anna and Jacob are in the same class. The movie instantly presents their strong bond and passion for one another as they fall in love.
When Anna completes her education, the time will come for her to head back to England. Both her student visa and the course of Anna and Jacob’s relationship have expired. Anna resolves to stay longer than privileged by her visa since she finds it impossible to visualize her life without her darling Jacob.
The audience assumes as though they are seeing real life. This portrait, shot, without any panel or a written screenplay, is a sad love story that appears in front of our eyes.
As a result, Felicity Jones and Anton Yelchin had a fabulous deal of grades. This film stands out from most others because of the director’s choice in particular. Jones and Yelchin were able to have sincere and authentic feelings for one another because of the improv of the movie lines.

If Beale Street Could Talk
The movie is fantastic and everything a sequel to “Moonlight” could be. A young African-American duo is followed before and after the male is falsely accused of sexual assault in Harlem in the movie.
In the #MeToo age, such challenging material may come out as a little tone-deaf, but viewers can be certain that Jenkins treats the subject matter with a sensitive and wonderfully deep intent of compassion.
If Beale Street Could Talk combines deft leading, sincere writing, unique picturization, enchanting music, and sincere uplifting and painful acting in the twin bar.
- Released in: 2019

Pulp Fiction
There is no other way to describe this film than Tarantino‘s masterpiece. It may have one of the most clever scripts I’ve ever read. The non-linear story is so masterfully written that it demands multiple interpretations.
The movie accomplishes looks to be about anything in expression, yet there is very little tip that atonement is the main topic. In this film, the performances and characters are nearly ideal. Everything in the screenplay, still of its sequence of affairs, fits with the plot. Thus it was written with great care.
Many unanswered questions remain, like the briefcase’s contents and Marcellus Wallace’s bandaged neck, which may be related. But the beauty of the movie still keeps the suspense alive even after three decades.
- Released in: 1994
- IMDB Score: 8.9
- Runtime: 2 Hours 45 Minutes
- Cast: Uma Thurman, John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Tim Roth, Harvey Keitel, Amanda Plummer, and Others

The Notebook
Every scene is amazing, from the two protagonist’s connection to the vicinity. In The Notebook, a summer liaison grows into a relationship that will be with the couple.
The two main characters, Allie and Noah, are both fantastic. You immediately fall in love with the characters and want to follow their tragic love story at every turn—one of the most romantic stories ever recounted.
Whether you enjoy romantic comedies or detest them, this film is much more than that. You will have experienced a wide range of textures by the film’s conclusion.
This film will be discussed for a very long time. Its length, which I believe should have been cut a little, is the one flaw of a terrific film that is well worth seeing.
- Released in: 2004
- IMDB Score: 7.8
- Runtime: 2 Hours 4 Minutes
- Cast: Ryan Gosling, Rachel McAdams, James Garner, Gena Rowlands, James Marsden, and Others

Shutter Island
The protagonist of Shutter Island is Teddy Daniels, a federal marshal from the United States who was dispatched to the island with his partner Chuck Aule to look into the disappearance of a patient.
In every scene, the characters are given a setback that drives them to keep looking for more while looking into areas we couldn’t understand, like their brains.
As expected, Mark Ruffalo and Leonardo DiCaprio complement one another and provide fantastic performances in their roles. Still, some other characters whose names are glued on the posters or marquees are also bright.
You’ll start to disbelieve your sanity after seeing this movie. A movie that revived the thriller subgenre. A movie that will leave you and the main character wanting more information.
- Released in: 2004
- IMDB Score: 8.2
- Runtime: 2 Hours 18 Minutes
- Cast: Leonardo DiCaprio, Mark Ruffalo, Ben Kingsley, Michelle Williams, Emily Mortimer, and Others

La La Land
‘La La Land’ has captivating visuals, with vivid colors that jump out at you from the screen without having a dizzying impact and cinematography that’s not only fun to behold but cleverly done without going too far into self-indulgence.
The musical portions are also skillfully choreographed with never-ending vigor. This is especially true of the introductory song. The writing is sincere and friendly, tender, and heartbreaking.
The script isn’t difficult; does it need to be, or does it commit the error of being overly blunt? Stone, who has never been better, delivered a good-looking flicker and depth performance, evoking wide feelings without appearing too sentimental.
If not as well, Gosling matches her, displaying a tremendously captivating presence and a carefree twinkle charm.
- Released in: 2016

The Breadwinner
It depicts a far-off world in a tangible form. Even compared to live-action films, the people and circumstances are as functional and achievable.
Most filmmakers and writers fall short of capturing the essence of a story like this one, with its minor stakes of an impoverished family and even a girl’s struggle to handle her brother’s death.
Many cultural aspects of how an Afghan family lives, how men and women vary, and how the entire city functions are presented in the film. It addresses weighty and deep weights unusual for animated movies and does it in a kind and honest way while bearing an effective impact.
What could have easily been overbearing isn’t because it is intellectual and, in some ways, informative. The characters have depth and appeal, and the protagonist is immediately likable with her zeal, celibacy, and resolve.
- Released in: 2017
- IMDB Score: 7.7

Beasts of No Nation
Agu is a little child living in an undisclosed African country through a civil war. He and his mates miss both services and access to a school. His dad is a big deal here.
Until the truce is broken, Nigerian troops defend him in a watchdog zone. Government soldiers massacre the regional public. As his father and sibling are slain, Agu manages to flee.
Idris Elba exudes a strong, dominating presence. The young kid is engaging. His depravity is so painful because of this. This film is severe and tragic.
The Netflix film is of cinematic caliber. The storyline is unbent, and the kid’s journey is not too complicated—a good movie with a message and captivating performance.
- Released in: 2015

GIadiator
Maximus, a commander who, at the beginning of the film, leads the Roman army to victory over Germany, is the film’s subject. Marcus Aurelius, the dying Roman emperor, is seeing this conflict.
Commodus, the emperor’s son, and his sister Lucilla enter the scene. This movie is incredible; it catches every emotion in a way that only an experienced filmmaker could do; entire sequences may be watched without a word being spoken; everything is said via the characters’ sincere facial idioms and attire.
It is divulged that Commodus fully expects to be named the future emperor of Rome in the coming days. It’s true that this film quite closely adheres to the Braveheart model. The sensational visuals and the bloody fight sequences are two aspects of this film that stand out on their own.
- Released in: 2000

Court
The court is a legendary description of one of these people. It shows what happens when he chooses to speak up and mobilize his supporters to fight for their unalienable whole rectitudes against those who violate them.
Chaitanya Tamhane tells a tale of sad differences and the horrific indifference that afflicts our society in the most detailed way possible—by maintaining a deliberate quiet in the movie. This movie is brutal, authentic, and immensely powerful.
It purposefully causes you to pause and take notice, and it doesn’t accept no as a response; in a sense, it compels you to view what is occurring.
A thing to note is that this movie is not for everyone; the genre and the plot focus on a very specific idea that everyone may not like but if you prefer the genre of such movies then it is a must-watch for each one of us. To this I would add this, you should definitely check it out.
- Released in: 2014

Bullet Train
This film’s popularity may be directly linked to its fantastic narrative and special enactments from everyone. I honestly can’t pick just one cast member to be this movie’s star because they all performed such a fantastic job.
This narrative was shared in a unique and sensational tone, believing that the plurality of the movie was filmed in just one location. The title cards used to introduce the characters were fantastic and entertaining without becoming ridiculous.
Sometimes a ridiculous movie detracts from the rest of the narrative, but much humor was set, acted, and consistently shown.
It is a fun movie filled with many witty elements, there are many moving parts in the movie, and all of them align ably with each other.
- Released in: 2022
- IMDB Score: 7.3

Bird Box
Even if there is enough sadness and death in the film, you won’t feel guilty after it. Given the conditions, every death was inevitable in some manner.
Clearly, there was no alternative way for people to behave and yet be sober or retain their humanity when deeds of generosity result in death. The movie’s conclusion was satisfying and not at all unrealistic.
Only a sequel in which the identity of the monsters is disclosed may push this film better. This is the type of film that makes an impression.
I loved it and want to warmly embrace Sandra Bullock for the ample dose of emotions she said on film and a large hand to the writer and director. She put a lot of work into this movie, which is fantastic.

The Intern
Ben, a 70-year-old widower bored with his retired existence, is portrayed by Robert De Niro. He applies for an arrangement as a senior intern at an online clothing retailer and is hired.
Jules Ostin, the architect of the business, is portrayed by Anne Hathaway as a driving, urging, and active employee. Ben is picked as her intern, but this is merely a show as she has no plans to offer him any job.
Robert De Niro did a good job as the main. Although he doesn’t provide subpar performances, he occasionally takes on parts and movies that fall short of his expectations. These characters and films are not present in this one.

The Reader
The Reader is immensely intricate regarding how you respond to the movie characters. It carries feelings, including sensuality, rage, and empathy,s.
Nothing comes close to being factual and fair, despite the verity that many films make this claim, like The Reader, which can make you care about a character you never thought you could. The writing and direction had an impactful role in the sentiments of this film.
For the audience to feel sincere emotion rather than being artificially brought in, each scene must be committed perfectly and invariably. Stephen Daldry accomplished that under his whiz guidance.
Ralph Fiennes, David Kross, and Kate Winslet, along with the rest of the crew, provided powerful performances that elevated the movie thanks to David Hare’s script. Not to be missed is this film, which is thought-provoking and will bring out the humanity in all of us.
- Released in: 2008

Black Mirror: Bandersnatch
For those who have seen every Black Mirror episode, I believe this film or episode is a masterpiece. Whoever didn’t won’t like it and enjoy it in the same manner as others do.
Easter eggs, allusions to past episodes, including The Metal Head Game and The Nosedive Game, the regards, and other references abound. It is a question-and-answer flick, making it different from other movies.
The story progresses and adjusts as you pick the options on the screen. It would be best to decide to enjoy the movie’s plot wisely. You can watch it multiple times and make specific choices to see different endings.
- Released in: 2018

Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle
This film successfully explains what it means to be serious and gloomy. The movie is so serious that it takes you by the throat and won’t let go! Unexpectedly, the story and plot are simple to understand, but they may also be surprising, and the movie prevails faithful to Rudyard Kipling’s great works.
Given that it’s an Andy Serkis movie, the character models are fantastic, and the CGI is Andy’s interpretation of characters from The Jungle Book. Shere Khan and the Man, the antagonists, sow fear and hatred.
The hunter/man/poacher is something in this world that can never exist on earth and forms fear and anger against the animals and towards someone.
Every time Shere Khan comes on screen, he makes the bystander edgy and will terrify you. It is a good watch for the whole family, irrespective of kids or age. This a definite recommendation.
- Released in: 2018

Operation Finale
In 1960, a group of Mossad operatives painstakingly organized the capture of Adolf Eichmann in Argentina, where he was hiding, so that he strength be convicted for planning the final resolution and being responsible for the murders of 6 million people during the Holocaust.
This operation is Operation Finale. As spectators, we squirm every time we witness Eichmann’s haughtiness and deceitful eyes in flashbacks and his seized circumstances, which gives the movie its intensity.
I didn’t admit the entertainers, except Ben Kingsley, which added to the authenticity of this actual saga. The Israeli squad faces several obstacles during this operation, which causes a delay in getting Eichmann to safety.
It is worthwhile to share this narrative and encourage this film’s box office success. History fans will love this film.
- Released in: 2018

Moneyball
This biographical drama about the aspects of baseball that all of us idolizes has Brad Pitt at the height of his acting abilities.
Director Bennett Miller and celebrated author Aaron Sorkin attempt to tell a story about the complexity of the Major League Baseball association & the odds that eluded assumption during these events, based on both actual events and the non-fiction book by Michael Lewis.
Pitt portrays Billy Beane, the Oakland Athletes’ manager who became depressed when the New York Yankees were destroyed in the 2001 postseason.
Watching this movie is just so satisfying and engaging. Fans of baseball and those who love the magnetic character of Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill would find this quite satisfying.

Mudbound
Two young boys who have just returned from the war in Europe expose that they can only fully learn from one another. They develop a friendship that resists the prejudice they both know, and they become real friends, violating all the social mores and tremendous peril.
The title may infer the real mud on the ground where the family resides, to a snag, to a sense of loneliness among the lineages, or to any combination.
The McAllans and Jacksons will still need to support one another, despite the truth that the McAllans will be at a disadvantage due to their skin tone. The overall tone and feel of the movie were shown well; you will get the idea when you watch the movie.
- Released in: 2017

Kantara
The Tullunadu people still believe in and practice “Daivaradhane,” which safeguards our family and the land from jeopardy. We had a strong sense of connection, which can only be achieved by Rishabh Shetty, who is well-anchored in his environment.
Amazing performance by the actors, mind-blowing soundtrack, and camera work make this a great film that has been seen several times. There have been representatives in film history where the nativity of a particular culture is brought to life with such accuracy while maintaining the mystical element without diluting it and motivating the audience’s ability to sense the dominion of god.
A must-watch on my list; no amount of words or reviews will do justice to the movie; check it out and find out. This movie put the cinema industry on the radar. It shows that you do not need a huge budget to make something impactful.
- Released in: 2022
- IMDB Score: 8.3

A Silent Voice
A Silent Voice is a wonderful contribution to contemporary “slice of life” animation. In its gentler moments, it may be inspiring, but other times, its report of Japanese teen life can be scary.
Then, this film adopts a new strategy. It showcases an afraid tyrant as he goes through recovering from the havoc he caused Shoko to feel and experience rather than him getting his strength back.
The narrative avoids usual Japanese clichés, the animation is surprising, and the story takes several unexpected turns without resorting to cliched sorrow or emotional manipulation.
- Released in: 2016

All Quiet on The Western Front
Anyone considering enrolling in the military should watch this movie, and the timing of its release—while there is another war in Europe—couldn’t be better. This film completely eclipses anything else.
Every aspect has been meticulously designed to completely engulf you in the overbearing sense of terror, misery, and hopelessness. There are no holds barred; this film is, sometimes, difficult to see, but it is unquestionably sounder.
The fighting is arguably horrible and the most visceral I’ve ever witnessed in a movie, and it’s exactly as Great War Warriors frankly define it. There is no grandeur, no excitement. It is one of those movies that should be partaken in onetime in a lifetime.

Knives Out
The delicious twists and turns will be shown if the narrative is discussed. The movie keeps you guessing and trying to deduce where the mystery is heading the entire time. Even at the very end, the revelation doesn’t do much to lessen the tension until nearly the final 1 minute of the movie.
You will like the Clue-like premise of the mystery murder crime movie Knives Out, in which Detective Benoit Blanc, played by Daniel Craig, seeks to investigate a killing.
I’m reminded of Murder on the Orient Express by movies of this type but a little delightful and fun. The clever storyline and direction by Rian Johnson make this movie entertaining.
Knives Out has countless unexpected turns and twists that will take you by surprise. Watching it without reading or searching for potential spoilers is preferable. A second story from the House of Knives Out also came out with Daniel Craig as the detective and a completely new star cast, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.
- Released in: 2019

Bohemian Rhapsody
After seeing Rami Malek play Freddie for approximately 20 minutes, you completely forget that he is an actor. Freddie is him. This remains true for the other band members, Gwilym Lee, Ben Hardy, and Joseph Mazzello, and Lee’s transition into Brian May is dazzling.
You might smell guilt that the other band members’ contributions aren’t properly highlighted because the movie mostly centers on Freddie. While Brian’s personal life and connection with his father are not mentioned, Rogers’s womanizing is.
The band’s mystery man continues to be John Deacon. Overall, the performance in Bohemian Rhapsody was ideal, the music was fantastic, and the fiction was accurately performed. A must-watch if you are a music fan, and of course, how can we miss Freddy Mercury?
- Released in: 2018
- IMDB Score: 7.9

Promising Young Woman
With this film, writer/director Emerald Fennell and Carey Mulligan have produced something original—A mockery of masculine predatory behavior.
A film in which gang rape serves as the spark for the whole storyline but in which the term “rape” is never spoken—a psychopath who only causes emotional harm and never physical harm.
The main person is a terrorized female who cannot escape what happened to her friend Nina, while her assailant enjoys the good life without repercussions.
The movie will probably appeal to women more than to guys, but it was still fun. The film also carried up several concerns that you could think about afterward.
- Released in: 2020

Flight
Denzel‘s report of Whip Whitaker is a complete disaster. Despite being a pilot for an airline, he is an addict and enters the aircraft while under the effect of cocaine and alcohol.
He is so drunk that he can ingest more booze during the journey. The shocking aspect is that, despite the reality the plane is almost dying up in midair, he manages to crash land with only a few losses.
Denzel is not only highly talented but also took a big case by playing such a crazy and destructive character. Denzel has a vast on screen range, he is one of those actors who gets into the roles very easily and does it satisfyingly well. Overall, this is an incomprehensible film not just for the crash but also for how realistically it portrays addiction in all its horror.
- Released in: 2012

Now You See Me
“Now You See Me,” tells the doings of a group of magicians identified as The Four Horsemen, who employ their skills to commit some of the most daring international heists of their age.
The story takes so many turns that it should be a pretzel, but it manages to startle the viewer in the film and keep them wondering.
The movie keeps you wondering what their next ruse will be. There are dividends as to what ensues in the film, but there is also the distinct guile. This popcorn action movie has mystery, drama, action, humor, and fun.
Now You See Mee gained got so much popularity that a second movie was also released and the plans for a third movie are also on the table. Check both of them out

Just Go With It
Danny, who is getting married soon, is portrayed by Adam Sandler. Just before the wedding, he learns that his future wife had an affair with her ex-boyfriend and is only getting married to him for his money.
Jennifer Aniston has a very active and witty presence on the screen and her dialogue and interaction with her co-stars were very lively. She adds glamour with her presence throughout the whole movie.
Danny is sitting at a pub wearing his wedding ring and is miserable. He learns that the ring attracts women and results in many one-night hookups. The film features some toilet humor & jokes about botched plastic surgery.
It features several catchy rock pieces, especially when used as a stylish theme. Danny affirms jealousy when Anniston begins dating a man from another work area. Lies keep piling up one after another. A chick-flick style feel-good movie that is predictable and entertaining.

Good Will Hunting
Their fascinating and entertaining screenplay was a big success for Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. The writing peaks after the exposition and introductory portions and then fairly coasts for the rest.
However, attention is effectively maintained due to the wonderful casting and acting. The film’s maturity comprises about two dozen dialogue elements briefly interrupted by movements.
The truth that one is unaware of the dramatic restrictions that make up the frame is amazing. This is sincere praise to the cast, the director, and the writing. Although the situation is reassuring and improbable, it is made to arise reasonably.

Catch Me If You Can
Leonardo DiCaprio was the ideal choice for Steven Spielberg to play the con guy, and his casting in the film is flawless. Understanding why all the women fall for this charmer is really simple.
He was a smooth operator and a quick talker. He emanates charm enough to fill a few more movies. In the movie, Leonardo DiCaprio plays Frank Abagnale, Jr., a real-life con artist who was still a teenager who stole millions from many businesses using counterfeit checks while successfully assuming the identities of an airline pilot, a doctor, and a lawyer, among different covers.
A severely rule-bound F.B.I. agent named Carl Hanratty, played by Tom Hanks is after him. The agent first laughably underestimates the childish, spur-of-the-moment criminal genius, but he is persistent and unrelenting and has the law on his side.
Trust me; it is a fun movie, all the elements in the movie make it an entertaining and witty watch, and it should be checked out.
- Released in: 2002

Jerry Maguire
With Cruise and Zellweger’s characters meeting more for convenience than passion, Jerry Maguire has a distinctive post connection. All parties involved manage the connection with maturity and honesty.
Although Cruise is fantastic throughout the entire movie, his scenes with Zellweger and her character’s son are when he excels. The American people have a special place in their hearts for the movie Jerry Maguire.
A movie about love, friendship, commitment, and all the others is vital to being a great person who makes others happy.
It is one of Tom Cruise‘s first movies, and it shows in the movie. The script and the meaningful performances by the kids will keep you hooked. Check it out to find it yourself, just for Tom Cruise.
