My Top 10 Movies of all time

This is my top 10 movie list for all time.

Schindler’s  List

Oskar Schindler (Nazi) uses Jews to start a factory in Poland during the war. He witnesses the horrors endured by the Jews, and starts to save them.

La vita é bella – Life is beautiful

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118799/

Jewish dad (Guido) married to an Italian princess tries protects his son son in a Nazi death camp. Italian movie in my top 10? It was that good!!

 

Shawshank Redemption

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111161/ Best feel-good movie of all time?

Star Trek First Contact

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117731/

Capt. Picard and his crew pursue the Borg back in time to stop them from preventing Earth from initiating first contact with alien life. More importantly, you get to see the vision of first contact with an Alien race that pushed humanity to stop violence against each other and embrace and accept that they are only a tiny part in a vast universe. I’m a huge Star Trek fan because of the vision and principles that humanity is governed by  in the fictional time frame. While other star trek movies made the effort of packing as much action in to two hours, this movie has a balance between shooting aliens and a good storyline.

 

History of the World Part 1

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082517/ 

The only comedy in my top 10. I’ve watched this movie with so many people, so many times. Its not well known. I have a feeling it may have been banned and became too old for people bother watching it. It starts with the human civilization starting in North America! and ends with the French revolution. This will be less funny if you know nothing about history.

 

Beautiful Mind

 

Braveheart

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112573/

 

Léon

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110413/

The Rock

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117500/

When you have Sean Connery and Nicolas Cage in the same movie you can end up with a masterpiece or a major flop. Judging by the 7.2/10 on IMDB I guess people agree with my view that this is a great movie.

Garden State

The soundtrack (nothing new, just a good collection well suited for this movie), Zack Braff and Natalie Portman pushed this in to my top 10. Long journey of a troubled man. Paced well without being too slow or too fast. Some people I know fell asleep to this movie though!
