Great Movies

If I had to compose a list of my ten favorite movies, these movies would most likely be cordially invited to join the list.....

Lord of the Rings trilogy- The Star Wars of our generation, a passionate trilogy made with tremendous appreciation and a rare understanding of the novels that were created by the timeless J.R.R. Tolkien. This trilogy will be known as the standard for movies in the future that are classified as epics, or fantasies.
Requiem for a Dream- A portrait of the drug world that is all to unknown, but all to real. A study of 4 Coney Island dreamers that dream of the best, and expierience there own versions of living hells, directed by visionary director Darrren Aronofsky, who is now wielding "The Fountain" who will star Hugh Jackman, who could use a serious role for his resume, and Rachel Weisz who is solid enough for drama.
Jerry Maguire- Tom Cruise is the acting icon of the 1990's and in 1996 he made a movie that can help but inspire us. A movie about trust, understanding, and how we find love through witnessing the trust and love of others. 1 word for this is underrated. NOTE** Cruise is still amazing.
Pulp Fiction- One can only say enough about this movie, about the script, about the dialogue, and the directing. Quentin Tarantino's best movie, maybe one of the best screenplays of all time that humors, shocks, and finds ways to make us believe that movie-making will never die, there will always be that movie nerd that long ago worked in a video store, that dreamt of directing, and when he did, he made Pulp Fiction.
JFK-Oliver Stone's fascinating interpretation on the events surrounding JFK's assasination. One of the most controversial directors made one of the most interesting movies ever, about how a nation destroyed there leader. CIA, FBI, the White House and the mob' s scheme to terminate the World's working class leader. Stone points many fingers, but some of the fingers could be correct, and even if they aren't, he has still made a masterpiece.
Goodfellas- Big, Rich, and Powerful are three words that stand out when one is talking about this 1990 movie that got robbed when it didn't win Best Picture. Martin Scorsese's story of a rags to riches mobster who in the end turns his life inside out, and turns into a trader to save his own ass has some memorable scenes that only Scorsese could translate on the screen.
The Godfather, part I, II- On a lot of peoples list as the greatest movies ever, it's truly deserves anything in anyones top 10. The ultimate story of a crime ridden family that lie heavily on trust, responsibility, and power to proclaim there name on top of the mafia throne. It took me a while to understand how important these movies were to the history of cinema.
Fight Club- Brad Pitt and Edward Norton, two young actors in 1999 who starred in David Finchers male dominance comedy/thriller can be oddly characterized as a dark "Office Space" about hating our jobs, our bosses, and doing violent things to balance your life out, all about letting go and possesing self-awareness.
Magnolia-A movie about corresponding themes of love, forgiveness, redemption, and mainily hope, begs us to Wise up and start living your life out so you won't regret anything in the end. This movie is an artfrom, this is one of those movies you either hate or love, anyone that asks to many questions in movies, and doesnt understand movies easily will HATE this movie, if you know what you want in life, and are interested in human behavior you will love this movie. P.T Anderson needs to make more movies.
Traffic- Small, but large movie about drug traffiking, how it will never end no matter what lenghts we go to. A story of how the war against drugs must be fought in small battles, we must rid it out of our houses, and not turn it into a communinity thing.
