Movies I love the most

It is very tough to decide which is the best movie I have ever watched so I will simply write about the movies I love the most and can watch it again and again and why I love them. Wasting no time, let me start.

  • Saving Private Ryan - I can watch this movie 3 times continuously, I can watch this movie from any scene and yet feel like watching for the first time. There is something about it. I have very little idea on how I love it so much. Is it the direction? Is it the background score, is it the story or is it the locations. I simply have very little idea. All I know for sure is this is a kick ass movie. Once around 4 I started playing this as I was bored, I slept at 5.30 that day. I simply couldn't stop it till it was over. Yes, I did start from the middle.
  • Shawshank Redemption - The story, the acting, the suspense, the twists and turns, the direction, well everything was perfect. This movie shows how to make a masterpiece. The acting, the work of camera and the unpredictibility in the story is what makes the movie special. Genius at work!
  • Memento - Each and every credit goes to the director. How on Earth he managed to direct it, I have no idea. For fuck's sake that movie was going backwards. He managed to have detail of each and every action of Guy Pearce who acted brilliantly. The director wanted to give the viewer an experience of what the lead was going through and he delivered it. I have never been this worked out before watching a movie. The guy is a genius. And when the movie ended, it was orgasmic!
Apart from the 3 movies I loved many others but were not in the league of the above mentioned. They are very good but just not the best.
