Top five favorite movies

It is so many movies in the world that are good but if you are going to take out you top five, you cannot choice them after how many Oscar they have or which ratings they have on imdb, you need to feel it. The movies I have chosen are probably my top five favorite movies and I have seen them several times and they have affected me emotional every time. Yes, the first time is always the best but the other times you notice stuff you didn’t notice before and this happens every time I see them. To rate my best five movies ever is so hard. Movies like Kingdom of Heaven, Gandhi, Goodfellas, Casino, Batman etc. is close by and if I made a list of 50 best movies it would be more fare because it is so many movies that has the definition as “GREAT”.

• Lawrence of Arabia!!

The movie is world known and has been awarded 7 Oscar for it´s greatness. Lawrence is based on true General in Cairo 1916. As a young General he is sent to investigate the progress of an Arab revolt against the Turks in World War 1. He organizes a Gorilla army in the dessert. The British generals hate him because he is an arrogant and strange man but he becomes one of the most famous generals the British Empire has ever had.

It is an old movie from 1962 and the director David Lean died April 16, 1991. This movie is pretty old so to watch this can be kind of boring in some scenes and many in our time can´t even watch it because of that. I love it. It is based on an amazing man and his story. If you like history and war this is a perfect movie.

• Intoucbables!!!

Philippe is a millionaire that is handicapped and he can´t move his body. He interviews candidates for the position of his caretaker. From out of the blue, a rude African man comes. He needs the job to receive unemployment insurance. Philippe challenges him that it will be to hard for him and Driss takes the job as caretaker.

This movie is also based on a true story and the main theme of the movie is about the loving friendship. The movie is fun and sad at he both time. This movie is actually French and has a French director and every main character is also French. The name of the directors is Olivier Nakache and Eric Toledano and they are unknown for me too. Even if this movie is French, it has an awesome storyline and the friendship between them is inspiring. A young poor immigrant that lives in a small apartment with a huge family comes into contact with a millionaire that has everything but still nothing. They are two people that are from two different worlds but still become best friends.

• Lord of the Rings!!!

These movies are masterpieces and are world famous. The story is about the war of middle earth. A hobbit and eight companions set out on a journey to destroy the on ring and the lord Sauron. The mastermind behind the story is J.R.R. Tolkien (British writer). He created a whole new world with new characters that is amazing and it took him a very long time to write it. He made these movies possible and Peter Jackson the director of the movie did the work perfectly. The third movie has been awarded 11 Oscar. I have seen these trilogies about 30 times and they are marvelous ever time I see them. If you haven´t seen these movies you should feel bad and you must see them before you die at least.

• Godfather!!!!

Godfather is ranked on the most website as the best movie ever. It is one of the greatest movies ever and will live forever. The director Francis Ford Coppola had almost no money when he did the godfather trilogy. He sold his own house and he gave his whole fortune for the making of these movies. He employed great actor´s for example Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, James Caan and Robert Duvall. Incredible actors.

My favorite scene in these movies is when James Caan as Sonny becomes crazy that his sister husband beets her up. It is a perfect scene explaining that in mafia families the family is the most important thing and they will do everything for the protection of it. 

Marlon Brando is the Godfather in the first movie and I think he is the actor that plays best and makes the movie realistic. In the second and third movie Al Pacino the son becomes the boss. The first and second godfather movie s absolutely the best and the third was made just because the needed an end of the story. This trilogy is a story that every one at least knows about. I started to love godfather early in my life because of my father who showed them to me when I just was a young boy. I loved them immediately.

• The wild bunch!!

This is a movie that many haven’t seen because it’s from 1969 (Old movie). I have always loved western movies and this movie is a good explanation how it was at that time if you were a robber. The story is about a group of outlaws that robs banks. They are good at the thing they do but they come into troubles and have to run away from the bounty hunters that follow them. The whole movie builds up towards the end scene when on of their own is captured and they are encountered with the choice of escape or what is certainly a suicide mission to attempt and free their fallen behind comrade. For them it is not a choice. They all die in what can only be described as a bloodbath battle.

Flight

Director: Robert Zemeckis

Writer: John Gatins

Stars: Denzel Washington, Nadine Velazquez, Don Cheadle, Bruce Greenwood etc.

Runtime: 138 min
Trailer: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/flight_2012/trailers/11167106/

When I watch a movie I always have different movies I can choose by and I often see the trailers before I choose film. To discover after 30 minutes that the movie is bad, always sucks because I hate when you turn off a movie after you have seen a bit of it, so before watching a movie it is necessary for me to watch the trailer. In my blog I haven’t blogged about a bad movie yet and that is because I watch the trailers and yesterday I streamed a new good movie. I knew directly that I would love it since it was based on a true story and I have heard a lot of good things about it.

Flight was about an airline pilot who saves a flight from crashing and he does it in a way that is amazing but he has a problem that is hidden and after the crash it becomes a threat to him that he needs to solve. The main actor is Denzel Washington and I don´t need to write so much about him since the most of you know already who he is. He played the main person and he did it perfectly. Denzel got nominated for the Oscar award as the best performance actor in a leading role and he has also been nominated 8 times for other awards for example Black Reel and CFCA award etc. All his nomination shows us the great performance he did as Whip Whitaker.

This is a typical drama movie and you actually get inspired of the movie. If you see it you will wonder how you could be inspired of it but you will notice it at the end so have faith. Some negative things about the movie are that some scenes are boring and some of the actor´s does not make the same good performance as Denzel but that is understandable.

The movie deserves appreciation for its appearance as the good drama movie it is. 

Life of Pi

The story you must see.

Regi: Ang Lee

Stars: Suraj Sharma, Irrfan Khan, Adil Hussain, etc.

Runtime: 127 min

It's about a young man who survives a disaster at sea and enters an epic journey. While he is fighting for survival, he gets an unusual connection with another survivor, Bengel tiger. 

Thanks to the computer animation and 3D, the movie becomes just as dramatically, so poetic, so breathtakingly beautiful as Yann Martell´s novel. Lee showed us stunning images on the borderline between what feels like animation and reality. Yann Martel´s novel published in 2001 and won the British booker prize 2002. One director after another has jumped on and off the project to make a movie of the book, which sold over seven million copies. Ang Lee was the perfect director for making this novel into a movie. Lee is a film director who makes what comes to him. He has played in movies in the United States, China, United Kingdom and Taiwan, he has made many movies with different genres. Life of PI is unlike anything else that is shown in the cinema. In fact, the movie is unlike any other movie I've seen (and they are numerous). I have never seen a more beautiful movie and I got amazed of the natural scenes for example when sky and sea merge into one and when the great blue whale jumps over the survivals. I really think it is a masterpiece and comes into my list of favorite movies.

Hamilton 2

Hamilton: But not in the case of your daughter. 

This is the second Hamilton movie and it is played by the same main actor as in the previous movie, Mikael Persbrandt. For the second movie they have a new director called Tobias Falk. The movie is Swedish and the Hamilton movies have been a generation’s shift in Swedish film industry. Swedish comedies have always been good and worth seeing but the action movies have never reached the same qualities such as American action genre for example Die Hard. I'm not saying that this movie is in the same condition as Die Hard, but it is well on its way. This is an awesome start to the development of the Swedish films industry. The first Hamilton movie was better than the other but it was because when Hamilton came out it was something special. I felt when I saw Hamilton 2, to be just a repeat from the first one but I really do not regret that I saw it. The main actor, Mikael Persbrandt has been in many movies, most of them have been Swedish but 13 December 2013 and 18 July 2014, he is going to play Beorn in the two new Hobbit movies, which is world known. He is absolutely one of the best actors in Sweden.  

Django Unchained

The story of Django was about a free slave who tries to rescue his wife from a plantation with the help of a German bounty hounter. The actor´s who play in this movie are Jamie Fox, Christoph Waltz, Leonardo Dicaprio and Samuel L. Jackson and more. Director and writer is Quentin Tarantino that you notice almost immediately that this is his creation. Tarantino's films stand out tremendously. He makes movies that are different from everyone else's and you can call his movies kind of "weird." One thing he does that makes his movies unique is that he concentrates on details a lot and he makes every scene with a huge affection. For example, he can make ordinary boring conversations with two individuals to a mysterious and curious conversations, really uninteresting scene but it makes the movie more reality based. Kill Bill, Inglourias Bastards and Pulp Fiction are other movies he has done and where you can also see his unusual creation of movies. Django is not his best work but it was still a really cool movie that should get much attention. He did a really awesome work once again and I really recommend everyone to see it and you should see it at the cinema because it´s worth it. Waltz, Fox, Jackson and Dicaprio were Awesome in their roles, but Tarantino should gain most of the credit because he chose out the perfect actor´s for the roles and that you notice obvious when you watch it. Django and Tarantino get a 4 out of 5 pistols. 

Gangster Squad!

I saw Gangster Squad at GTC Danville Stadium 12. Of course I was sitting in the middle of the cinema because those are the best seats and saw the 113 minutes long movie. The director of the movie was Ruben Fleischer. If you don´t know who he is, he also made "Zombieland". I was surprised how good the actors appeared in the movie for example Sean Penn who played the "Bad guy" and Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone and Josh Brolin were also in the movie. Ryan Gosling gets a plus from me for his appearance in this movie, he plays his role really good as the cool cop who is determined to accomplish his mission.
I recommend seeing Gangster Squad but if you are short on money or if you do not usually go to the cinema, you should see another movie because there is more worth seeing movies out there right now.

I give Gangster squad 3 guns.
