Individually, we categorize movies base on their impact towards us. May it be funny, frightening, romantic or mind-opening; a movie is always a great resort for relaxation. Through the years, the movie industry have created countless of these undeniably expensive arts and here we are continuously supporting their existence.
Greatest films are not solely base on how these films were rated and how much their gross incomes were. Reality is that these films were labeled the greatest because of how people relates and created a dimension of themselves in these movies. These people may be of profound understanding of how a film should be made or were just stroke enough to bring out their comments and turned their applauses to wonderful reviews.
Horror Movies
I personally hate thrillers because jumping out of my seat inside the theater house is one of the last things I would want to do. However, thriller movies like Jaws (1975) and King Kong (1933) suffice my interest because they were directed by finest directors. These movies were innovatively made that you can’t almost believe how these people can create such art. These movies are both top rankers of AFI and Rotten Tomatoes, correspondingly. Alfred Hitchcock’s 1960 horror film entitled Psycho have also been on AFI’s 100 most thrilling American films.
#1 for Total Film’s greatest horror flicks, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974), was said to be based on a true to life scary experience of a group about their encounter with a psychotic killer menacing them all with his chainsaw. The movie featured some scene wherein the group members were brutally killed one by one. It was definitely bloody so, before watching it, make sure you can handle all those heart-pumping scenes.
Halloween (1978) is still ranked #1 for DigitalDreamDoor.com’s Greatest Slasher Movies. The Shining (1980) also made it to #1 for The Moving Arts Film Journal’s top 25 horror movies.
Action Movies
Anyone who has seen Seven Samurai (1954) of Akira Kurosawa and Die Hard (1988) can attest how ingeniously these movies turned out. These movies received excellent reviews and dynamic credits from different award winning bodies in the world.
Fantasy Movies
Twilight is a vampire film and vampire films are said to be overrated. Nevertheless, Twilight (2008), featuring Kirsten Stewart and Robert Pattinson, have captured the attention of viewers all around the world. Reviews of different side, whether it’s good or bad or neutral, prove that this movie was ground-breaking.
This will never be completed without us including the Wizard of Oz (1939) which was the American Film Institute’s Best American Fantasy Movie and IMDB’s #1 fantasy film which is The Lord of The Rings: The Return of The Kings (2003).
Romantic Movies
Romeo and Juliet (1968) and Casablanca (1942) should always be on the list when it comes to romantic movies. Why? Because they are a visual evidence of how sweet, tragic and inspiring love could be all at the same time.
Nowadays, we have The Notebook, Pretty Woman and we can also include Brokeback Mountain. The Notebook tells a long story of how love had been for two young hearts. Story entails challenges brought about by distance, differences, aspirations and changes. Pretty Woman is a totally entertaining romantic-comedy movie. Those who are in love, out of love or wants to be in love should watch this film. Brokeback Mountain is a very unusual love story of two young cowboys who found themselves irrevocably attached to each other.
