Slumdog Millionaire 2008, R)
Slumdog Millionaire is an outstanding piece of work, from beginning to end, literally. It perfectly blends the hollywood and bollywod styles, with amazing shots throughout the film and a breathtaking screenplay adaptation. Definetely worthy of all the Oscars it won, and it is without a doubt, the best film from 2008 |

No Country for Old Men 2007, R)
this movie is the proof that a suspenseful thriller can be made without investing millions upon millions of dollars to accomplish. all it takes is genius writing and genius acting. the acting by tommy lee jones,brolin, and especially javier bardem steal the show to make it one of the best of the decade. this movie will stuck in everyone's mind for the ending. the bizarre yet outstanding and astonishing ending will make people think about it to fit the pieces of the puzzle |

The Departed 2006, R)
Winner of 4 Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director. A fast moving, intense action thriller. Scorsese, DiCaprio, and Nicholson together to create what I believe is one of the best films of the decade. The storytelling is amazing, and the music goes perfect with every scene. another scorcese classic! |

American Beauty 1999, R)
A truly memorable movie with one of the best scripts ever with a phenomenal mixture of drama and comedy, awesome directing, taking into consideration that it was sam mendes' first movie, outstanding acting by everyone esp. kevin spacey who did the performance of his life, unforgettable quotes, and one of my personal favorite scenes, "pass the asparagus" where lester declares to his family. i'm having trouble in understanding the rose petals, but ill get it |

Titanic (in 3D) 2012, PG-13)
titanic is one of the best romantic-thrillers-dramamic, sad, moving movie you'll ever see. it is just a phenomenal movie. it makes you cry, laugh, get you in the edge of your seat, and everything else that only a great film can make you do. in addition to the great cinematography and phenomenal directing and writing by james cameron. and the song, also the best. |

Forrest Gump 1994, PG-13)
This film is brilliant with flashbacks to some of the most important issues of the 20th century. Tom Hanks is absolutely breath-taking as Forrest Gump. Forrest Gump is one of those movies that are made once in a decade. The entire cast makes their presence known on screen which makes the film so much better. Robert Zemeckis has created a masterpiece. |

The Silence of the Lambs 1991, R)
absolutely THE greatest thriller ever made in my opinion, with a great script, directing, and acting; there are not enough adjectives to describe outstanding performances by jodie foster and Sir Anthony Hopkins. that scene where clarice is telling her story of the "screaming of the lambs" and hopkins face was in a close up was amazing. |

The Godfather 1972, R)
Absolutely outstanding film that I finally had the chance to watch. Everything in this movie is first-class. The directing by francis ford coppola, the screenplay, and wiht this movie, marlon brando and al pacino became two of my favorite actors. The acting by brando as vito corleone is magnificent, without a doubt one of the best personalizations in cinematic histroy. Al Pacino just keeps me surprising with every movie I watch, one of the best as well |
