Movie recommendations

Hello there! I thought to myself today why not to share some goodie films that I love. I'm not a movie expert but I guess some movies stick with you for a long time and I would like to share some of my favourite ones with you. These movies are quite well-known so no surprises here. There will be spoilers!

1. HEATHERS 

Taking drastic turn of events is like the main course in this one. Veronica is quite intelligent but hangs out with a clique of self-absorbed gals. She then falls in love with an outsider called J.D. and well, he is a psycho (but in a cute way?). Well there are “suicides” and murders later on and I can tell you right away there is no teen movie like this. 

2. CORALINE

We all love creepy kids movies that will keep an adult up at night. No? The main character Coraline is an imaginative and adventurous gal and she is bored when she moves out of her old house. But she finds a secret small door that opens to the Other World where everything is the same but better. With a difference of everyone having buttons instead of eyes. Weird? Yes. Will I still watch this movie hundreds of times, though? Yes, indeed.

3. TITANIC

I know I know people are more fed up with this movie than with anything other. At least that's what I've heard. But you gotta give this movie another chance. It still is magnificent and I bet that if this movie didn't blow up, hipsters would talk about it to this day. Yes I've said it. Bite me, hipsters for not making it cool! I don't think I have to explain the plot of this one.

4. THE BREAKFAST CLUB

Yes another teen movie, but we all know this one deserves the title “cult movie”. It's just so experimental and the funny part is that the director wrote the script in a short period of time. And they also filmed it in a while as well (compared to other movies). It's not just about high school teens from different cliques becoming friends. I think this also perfectly represents the ridicilousness of the cliques in the first place why labels are a joke and just a tool to segregade people and manipulate them. And anyone that thinks that cliques are not a thing in adult world are wrong.

5. SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK

If you ever wanted to watch a movie that perfectly depicts mental illness this one is just for you. Pat just got out of a mental institution (having Bipolar Disorder) and wants to get back to his wife that he mistreated in the past. But can he really? He refuses to move on and tries to get to her and on his way he meets Tiffany that in my opinion and many others has Bordeline Personality Disorder. She is his gateway to move on but he isn't ready yet. This movie is monumentaly crazy and I love it.

6. THE GAME

I don't think that I'm into thrillers much but this one holds a special place in my heart. An adrenaline rush supply for days and an excellent plot twist. Nicholas starts a real-life game that he got as a gift from his brother. But it takes a different turn when he finds himself in his real life not trusting anyone thinking they are the part of the game. It greatly shows how having it all in materialistic world isn't going to satisfy you forever and how we sometimes need to be reminded of the things that are really important. 

7. THE SCHOOL OF ROCK

Having Jack Black as a teacher is always a good idea. Especially if he makes you start a rock band. This hilarious comedy has a genuine spark of originality and shows people what rock'n'roll is really about. Dewey was recently kicked out of his own band and wants to start a new one because he is dedicated to playing rock. While being unemployed he takes the job of a teacher using the name of his friend Ned and well one thing leads to another and he starts a rock band with his students. To add the music in this movie is just the cherry on the top.

8. THE DARK KNIGHT

Philosophical thoughts about society and what's good or bad is what makes this movie a delight and thought-provoking sensation. Batman playing Joker's insane but genius game with no awerness of what he'll do next is the general description. Joker's the perfect villian and Batman is the imperfect hero. But what it takes for a person to become a hero or a villian? That's where Harvey Dent comes in- the adequate candidate for mayor's office with a good heart and head in the right place. But there is no good man in this world that can escape the claws of the Joker (that I lowkey agree with on some level,...just saying).

9. THE LOVELY BONES

Oh man isn't this the perfectly scarring movie for a sensitive little 12 year old. That's when I saw this movie for the first time. And in my twisted head that was what made me attracted to this movie even more. Susie is a teen murdered by a neighbour ( a middle aged man) across the street. She is in between heaven and Earth trying to comunicate with her family and reach out so they know what happened to her. The bond between her and her father is strong and he is the one that finds out who killed her despite of no one believing him. The depiction of how human connection can live on further even after death sounds surreal. Or does it?

10. THE SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS

Dark humor mixed with positive messages and Tim Burton-like aesthetic? Sign me up! I will scream on top of my lungs of how this movie is underrated. The recent death of parents of three children makes them move from one caretaker to another. But there is one that desires their fortune inherited from their dead parents the most- Count Olaf portrayed by great Jim Carrey. The reason why they never have a steady caretaker is because Olaf keeps on murdering each one of them. 

So this is it! I hope that you liked it and if someone has some interesting facts about these movies please enlighten me. And if this list made someone watch some of them let me know^^

1. Marriage Story- Never seen a film that did marriage and divorce so well.

2. Avengers Endgame- A almost perfect climax to a great saga.

3. JoJo Rabbit- Such a charming film especially considering the topic.

4. The Last Black Man in San Francisco- A underrated gem with great performances on a unique story.

5. 1917- The gimmick was needed to let you feel what it's like to go through war and how it never feels like it ends.

6. Uncut Gems- This movie is stressful. Also while I think Sandler was very good I don't think he should have won a Oscar for this but maybe nominated.

7. The Irishman- A great reminder of great actors and a great director. Might be the last time we see them this great.

8. Spider-Man: Far From Home- Didn't expect it to be as good as it was. Mainly cause of the great villian.

9. Toy Story 4- This was probably the funniest of the Toy Story series but probably the one with the least amount of emotion.

10. Shazam- One of the best family films of the year.

11. Rocketman- A wonderful music video tribute to one of the best!

12. Parasite- A good message for a crazy story that you don't know where it's going.

13. Us- Wonderful performance by Lupita makes this Twlight Zone episode worth watching.

14. The Lighthouse- Great performances and good atmosphere. Felt like I would have liked it more if it wasn't for the hype.

15. Midsommar- A bit disappointing considering how much I loved Hereditary but still good even though the story was predictable.

16. Missing Link- Underrated with its beatufiul animation and cute story.

17. Knives Out- The story is kind of a mess but the actors are having fun and it's a pretty fun movie for the most part.

18. John Wick 3- Feels similar to the first two but hooks you in the more you watch making it one of the best action trilogies.

19. Little Woman- A good story and film but I'm not so sure it needed to be told again.

20. Honey Boy- Can we all admit that Shia can act now?

21. Steven Universe The Movie- The show is better but the villian in this is sooo good.

22. Captain Marvel- Fun superhero story that people was too harsh to.

23. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood- Feel like Quentin ego and foot fetish hurts it but still a fun movie.

24. Bombshell- A important topic with good performances but felt it could have been done better.

25. The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part- It's not as good as the first but still fun and worth watching.

26. Joker- I mean Joaquin did do a great performance but he has done better and the story was a bit ehh. Possibly the most overrated movie of the year.

27. How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World: Beatufiul animation but the story and villian are lackluster.

28. A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood- Worth it for Tom Hanks performance but the cliche story almost ruined it.

29. Fyre Fraud- A good story to tell that was told the right way.

30. Judy- Felt this could have been done way better if they focused on her childhood more but Renee is still good.

31. Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark- Kind of underrated but had a disappointing ending and some bad CGI.

32. Always Be My Maybe- Has one of the best cameos ever.

33. Doctor Sleep- Two scenes save this from being okay or bad but the rest of it is ehhhhhh.

34. Fighting With My Family- A cute story but feel like it could have been better if they told the real story instead of making up 40% of it.

35. Batman Hush- I think it's better than people say and didn't mind the change of the original but still kind of forgettable.

36. Detective Pikachu- Cuteness makes this one of the best video game movies of all time which doesn't say much.

37. Booksmart- Felt this should have been better but used the same tropes as most coming of age films do.

38. Yesterday- A cute story done in a unique way but nothing groundbreaking.

39. Wicked Shockingly Evil and Vile- The performance of Zach doesn't save it cause the story seems misdirected on what it wants to tell.

40. Glass- It's dumb and Bruce Willis is barely acting in this but still fun and a nice end even though some of it doesn't make sense.

41. Alita: Battle Angel: A good life action anime with a terrible love story in it.

42. Lion King- Was it pointless and way worse than the original? Yes but it was still pretty impressive to look at.

43. Childs Play- A unique way to tell the story but not sure it needed to be retold.

44. It Chapter Two- Wasn't really scary and kind of dumb except the birth mark part. But Bill Hader is sooo good in this!

45. Frozen 2- Probably the most disappointing film of the year. The story was a mess and borderline insulting to the original.

46. Dark Phoenix- The last action scene almost saved it but everything else was pretty bad.

47. Justice League vs. The Fatal Five- Everything is fine with this film except the Fatal Five. They were pretty boring.

48. Aladdin- Will Smith and Mena had good chemistry but still a pointless remake of a great film.

49. Beach Bum- Matthew does a fine performance but his character does something so bad and the film just treats it like whatever.

50. Pet Sematary- A pointless reboot of a great story. This takes everything great about it and makes it bland.

51. Culture Shock- A cliche Twlight Zone wannabe that had potenial but was disappointing.

52. Godzilla: King of the Monsters- The human characters were soooo bad but hey the monster fights were kind of fun

53. Wonder Woman Bloodlines- The beginning is pretty awful considering how they rushed it but the villian at the end nearly saves it.

54. Brightburn- How do you make such a lazy cliche film on such a interesting topic?

55. Dumbo- Dumbo was cute but everything else was pretty bad. WTF happened to you Tim Burton?

56. Reign Of Superman- Just as dumb as the comic.

57. Escape Room- Just as dumb as it sounds and predictable.

58. Happy Death Day 2U- Just because you're self aware how dumb this is doesn't make it any less dumb.
