Round 2 of Brief Recommendations of Some Movies you should see at least once and Why:
The Truman Show
This film is very simple but it tells an easy to understand story where the only real person is Truman. It is a film about free will. It is still relevant. How many Youtubers, Twitch Streamings, and Realty Shows have we had? A bit. The music for the film is powerful and fits the tone of each scene perfectly. Easy film to rewatch. One of Jim Carrey’s best film.
Arrival
This is one of the four films I tell people they should watch if they want to understand me. This film is perfection. Aliens have arrived but they aren’t attacking…? A linguist goes to figure out what the intention of the Aliens are. The film is about communication, love, sacrifice, and going on despite what hardships lie ahead.
Mad Max Fury Road
This is also one of the four films I tell people they should watch if they want to understand me. Another perfect film. It is a two hour chase film. The music, the acting, the pacing, the story, everything comes together to make this film a masterpiece.
3 10 to Yuma - The Russel Crowe and Christian Bale one
Yes it is a western remake. However it is a really great one. Also the original scriptwriter for the original one also wrote this one as well, which is neat. The film is all about one man’s quest to deliver a prisoner to take care of his family. It’s a simple plot but the telling of the story is well done. The music for the film is also fantastic.
Equilbrium
This is a very early Christian Bale film. Part 1984 mixed with Fahrenheit 351 mixed with gun martial arts. It is fun to watch it all unfold and the final arc of the film is great.
The original Swedish version The Girl with Dragon Tattoo and the two sequels
These films are proper noir films. Good mystery, suspense, acting, and story. They do come dubbed but the Swedish is what it was filmed in.
Batman Mask of Phantasm
This is considered by many to be the definitive best Batman film ever. Look it is good but no it isn’t the best Batman film.
The Dark Knight
This is the best Batman film no doubt. Heath Ledger’s Joker is brilliant and he stills ever scene he is in just like the Joker would.
The Land Before Time
Emotional film about dinosaurs… you only need to see the first one. For all that is holy never see the sequels.
