I have finally answered the hardest question ever posed following what church do you go to when asked by a religious parent of a friend when you're and atheist, what are your favorite movies. I have listed shaw shank as my favorite even though i don't know if i actually like it more than the top 5 movies listed. I really do enjoy the movie though so i will just use it as my answer when asked the question. fight club could be traded with shaw shank as the story line is amazing and I'm a hoe for a good plot twist and a movie that makes you have to watch it again.I just watched memento today, July 4th 2017, and the same can be said for it. I believe it should go in my top 3 because the way it was filmed as the double story line meeting in the …show more content…
I also recently watched shutter island while in new Mexico and also believe it to be in my top 5, again for the amazing plot twist that i was not expecting in the slightest and my love for Leonardo DiCaprio. I watched donnie Darko at the beginning of the summer, as recommended by v and it also was a movie that really got me thinking. As you can see the trend of movies i truly enjoy are ones that fuck your mind and then fuck your asshole just because. The ending of the movie really put things in perspective for me as one thing can change the course of the phenomena known as time. Se7en comes next as I liked the crime/ mystery that kept you hooked the entire length of the movie, and the ending was disturbing yet depicted the mental state and instability of the killer, making it great. Interstellar dealt with the phantasm of multiple dimensions of space time which I'm a sucker for and the ending makes me cry. I remember actually watching this movie in theaters and although the movie is lengthy and i cant sit still for too long, i very much enjoyed it and have watched it countless
The movie I choose to review was Jaws, which is one of my favorites and a timeless classic.

When the summer season in threatened by a series of shark attacks three men are sent out to track down a great white shark.
The 1986 film “Sixteen Candles” tells a timeless tale of growing up in suburban America. The film’s star, Sam, played by Molly Ringwald, wakes up with big expectations on her sweet sixteenth birthday only to be completely disappointed. Not only does she find that she looks exactly the same as when she was fifteen, but her family is so preoccupied with her older sister’s wedding that they forget her birthday altogether.
The plot of the movie “Blade Runner” becomes unrevealed till the end of the movie. Many assumptions about the plot and the final of the movie appear in the spectator’s mind, but not one of these assumptions lasts long. Numerous deceptions in the plot grip the interest of the audience and contribute for the continuing interest to the movie eighteen years after its creation. The main character in the movie is Deckard- the Blade Runner. He is called for a special mission after his retirement, to “air up” four replicants who have shown flaws and have killed people. There are many arguments and deceptions in the plot that reveal the possibility Deckard to be a replicant. Roy is the other leading character of the movie. He appears to be the leader of the replicants- the strongest and the smartest. Roy kills his creator Tyrell. The effect of his actions fulfils the expectation of the spectator for a ruthless machine.

Juror #1 originally thought that the boy was guilty. He was convinced that the evidence was concrete enough to convict the boy. He continued to think this until the jury voted the first time and saw that one of the jurors thought that the boy was innocent. Then throughout the movie, all of the jurors were slowly convinced that the boy was no guilty.
The movie I am going to recommend is 42. The movie 42 is about Jackie Robinson, how he cross the baseball color barrier in the late 1940's and become the first ever African American baseball player. the movie 42 is not so much about plot and suspense, it's more about powerful portrait of the man who ushered in professional sports' own civil rights movement. The reason I recommend this movie is because, this movie shows us the psychology of a nation in this context America, and its citizen. It demonstrates what others have endured, and still have to deal with it these days. It identifies how impressions, think racial attitudes, get passed down to generation and generation. It display ignorance. But it also presents America with an opportunity
The Grabber: An alien ship has landed in the middle of a forest. People begin to be curious and near the ship with flashlights. The aliens have to leave abruptly. It gives me a very suspenseful moment and makes me curious about what happens next. (Spielberg 7:00)

Twenty-eight days…six hours…forty-two minutes…twelve seconds, that is when the world will end. The movie Donnie Darko, Frank tells Donnie that the world will end in just a short time. Throughout the movie, different literary devices are experimented to give the movie a deeper meaning. This provides the audience with a hidden message that gathers the viewer’s attention while keeping them entertained. Donnie Darko is a movie that has imagery, symbolism, and foreshadowing and by merging these devices creates a film that holds their audience’s attention.

I spent a lot of time considering what movie I would watch to write this essay. I listed off the movies that I would like to watch again, and then I decided on The Notebook. I didn’t really think I could write about adolescence or children, so I thought that, maybe, I could write about the elderly. The love story that The Notebook tells is truly amazing. I love watching this movie, although I cry every time I watch it. The Notebook is about an elderly man that tells the story of his life with the one he loves the most, his wife. He is telling the story to his wife, who has Alzheimer’s Disease, which is a degenerative disease that affects a person’s memory. She has no recollection of him or their life together, or even her own children. She wrote the story of their love herself, so that when he read the story to her, she would come back to him. There are three things that I would like to discuss about this movie. First, I would like to discuss their stage of life and the theory that I believe describes their stage of life the best. Second, I would like to discuss Alzheimer’s DIsease and its affect on the main character who has it and her family. Third, I would like to discuss how at the end of the movie, they died together. I know it is a movie, but I do know that it is known that elderly people who have been together for a long time, usually die not to far apart from one another.

The main themes of the story are loneliness, materialism, and freedom from society. Tyler was created because of the lack of connection the narrator had with the people around him. The narrator was lonely and attended so many support groups because of it. He was not rejected at the support groups because the members thought he was sick just like they were. Materialism is a reoccurring theme as the narrator mentions how he has worked his entire life for the Ikea items in his apartment. He tried to fill the void in his life by buying worthless, meaningless stuff. People spend too much time working for things they do not need. The narrator comes to the conclusion that, “You are not your job or your possessions.” Only once a person realizes that can he or she finally let go and start living. “It’s only after you’ve lost everything,” Tyler says, “that you’re free to do anything.” In order to be free, we must not care about the stuff we own. Our whole lives are spent working to pay for stuff. If we did not have stuff to pay for, we would not have to work as hard and our time could be spent doing something more meaningful.
