Top 7 Best Movies of All Time

You must have watched a lot of movies. Some good, some bad and some are just time wasters. But, there are several movies that are absolutely worth your time even you the busiest person of this world. Be ready to grab some popcorn and dim the lights after reading this post. You can download movies listed in this post via various OTT platforms. I have made this list of top 7 movies of all time based on their entertainment value, iconic status, critical acclaim, box office success and action number.

7. Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

In today's blockbuster landscape audiences are used to seeing movies with excessive CGI overly complicated plots and repetitive actions. But, fury road is the complete opposite. It emphasize practical effects and stunts keeping the story as simple as possible and putting so much thought into the composition of the action that individual scenes could hang in a museum. While not exactly a sequel or a reboot, mad max fury road takes the best aspects from George miller's previous mad max films and pushes them into overdrive. The best way to describe the film is the climactic chase of the road warrior sustained for two hours. Although that sounds incredibly straightforward the film's emotive characters inventive production values and high octane directions set a new standard for the genre.

6. No Country For Old Men (2007)

Picking up on the themes of their previous films the Coen brothers faithfully adapt this Cormac McCarthy novel. When a man finds a mother load of cash after a drug deal goes sour, he becomes the target of a compassionless assassin. We watch as this monosyllabic hitman plows through all that gets in his way as he hunts the money down. It's an academy award-winning case of cat and mouse, masterfully executed at the hands of the Coen brothers which they later followed with the also astonishing but quite different inside Lewin Davis.

5. There Will be Blood(2007)

Brought to us by Paul Thomas Anderson this drama follows prospector Daniel Plainview as he builds his empire during the southern California oil boom. Many speed bumps along the way it's watching Daniel day-lewis portray the character's descent into greed and madness at the cost of all else that makes it a truly gripping watch. And for another stunningly gripping psychological drama check out Anderson's 2012 the master with Joaquin phoenix. Both the character and Anderson's film are unyielding and ambitious and both helped win day lewis his second Oscar for best actor.

4. The Shawshank Redemption (1994)

Based on Stephen king's novella the Shawshank redemption follows a man as he's carted off to jail for his wife's murder. But rather than being a tale of despair and hopelessness, it is a story of fortitude, friendship, fidelity, and of course redemption. With Tim Robbins and Morgan freeman working together to bring this story to life this Frank Darabont film was not a runaway box office hit. But its positive reviews eventual popularity and seven academy award nominations ensured its spot in cinema history.

3. Pulp Fiction (1994)

Is this film driven by its standout performances? yes! Is it driven by its extreme violence? of course! But more than that Quentin Tarantino's oscar-winning pulp fiction is driven by subtle articulate and pop culture heavy dialogue. The non-linear plot follows an interwoven group of colorful characters in intricate detail with such dark humor you will laugh in spite of yourself. With a soundtrack that perfectly punctuates the mood and sound bites you'll be quoting for years pulp fiction has everything necessary to make you watch it over and over again.

2. Parasite (2019)

We laughed, we gasped, we gripped our armrests and we're still thinking about it. This movie cleared the picture how a real dark psychology movie looks like. It is one of the best rated Korean movie of the recent decade.

1. The Godfather (1972)

Shedding light on the mafia world like few films before or since the best picture-winning godfather follows the Corleone family as the reigns of the business are passed from don Vito to his son Michael. In this film and its 1974 sequel Francis Ford Coppola crafts a world that allows us to care for and even identify with men who are fundamentally bad guys. And virtuoso performances by greats like brando, pacino and duvall elevate the subtle writing and graphic violence to make the godfather a truly great film.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
