    "I’ve watched it so many times I can practically quote it word for word. The actors embody their characters so incredibly well, and the centuries-long relationships feel real. The action scenes are breathtaking and electric. Plus, immortal gay husbands. Amazing."

    3. Ocean's Eleven (2001)

    "It is a brilliant film with an incredible cast! I've rewatched this riveting film countless times since I first saw it in theaters way back in 2001, and I'm captivated by every second of it every time! From the humorous banter between characters to the handful of surprises along the way, this extraordinary film never fails to remind me why heists are always high atop my list of favorites! 👏🏻"

    4. Jurassic Park (1993)

    https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=4Aqi1E_0u8Gqf5J00

    "Steven Spielberg's directing + a score by John Williams. It doesn’t get much better. It is hands down my favorite film of all time. I have loved dinosaurs since I was about five years old. Jurassic Park was the first PG-13 movie I saw in theaters . I actually just watched it recently on a big screen while the Boston Pops played the score live at Boston Symphony Hall. I watch it at least once a year."

    8. Jojo Rabbit (2019)

    https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=1a6iPj_0u8Gqf5J00

    " Jojo Rabbit is a unique story about prejudice, influence, loss, and realization. Set in Nazi Germany in the 1940s, the setting of the story is nothing to joke about. That's why I think Taika Waititi and the cast have done a perfect job of not glossing over the true events but focusing on the development and relationships of the characters. Sometimes the movie is funny, even though it shouldn't be, but you are allowed to smile. It has witty irony that you have to be able to take. It's heartwarming without being schmaltzy. I love everything about this movie, but especially the child's perspective and how Waititi has adapted it."

    https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=4LY442_0u8Gqf5J00

    12. Bolt (2008)

    https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=1MRBxj_0u8Gqf5J00

    "It’s so underrated as a Disney movie, and most people haven’t heard of it, but it’s honestly so brilliant, the revealing of information is so well-paced, and the character development is perfectly done. It’s an incredible movie that needs time in the spotlight."

    14. Scream (1996)

    https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=016hLA_0u8Gqf5J00

    "Absolutely clever. They tell you who the killer is right away but spend the whole movie trying to point fingers at everyone else. It has an amazing plot and a perfect ending."

    15. Rocky (1976)

    https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=3f8zbE_0u8Gqf5J00

    "It starts out with the second-rate boxer Rocky Balboa fighting an even worse opponent in a dirty, steamy, and downright pathetic boxing ring. Rocky wins, and from then on, his life changes forever. The film is filled with memorable music and scenes, including Rocky’s iconic ascension to the top of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Rocky finds love and learns to respect himself. It’s the definitive Cinderella story, and the ending is perfect. There’s not a weak scene in the film; the screenplay is packed with plenty of well-known lines, and the acting is first-rate. An absolutely flawless film from start to finish!"

    https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=0gJd5G_0u8Gqf5J00

    "It's an old Disney movie starring a young Jodie Foster. It takes place in a gorgeous old mansion in the English countryside. And it's got mystery, action, laughs, heart, and hidden treasure. What more could you want?"

    19. Sicario (2015)

    https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=1quc9S_0u8Gqf5J00

    "I rewatched it recently to see if I would still feel the same about it as I did when it came out. I did. Absolutely. The cinematography is stunning, the script is top tier, the action feels dangerous and real, the stakes feel high, the character arcs are perfect, and on top of all that it has some amazing and realistic statements to make about the brutal drug trade. It is somehow a fast, tense, crazy action thriller while being a subtle, layered, well-acted masterpiece. 10/10."

    20. L.A. Confidential (1997)

    https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=1XfIko_0u8Gqf5J00

    "With its whip-smart script adapted from James Ellroy's book of the same name, superb character development, and top-notch cast, it's my perfect movie. The intertwined stories and characters may seem labyrinthine at times, but it all dovetails perfectly at the end. It's Hollywood writing at its absolute best."
