Why We Love Movies

In the realm of movies, no one is excluded. Whether it’s a child whose imagination is limitless, the hopeless romantic, epic tales from history, or documentaries about the real world around us, there’s something for literally everyone.  The best movies ever made had captivating tales that tugged at our heartstrings, satisfied our hunger for adventures, and left us wanting more. Films have a way of uniting us, of giving us an outlet for emotions we didn’t even know we needed to express, and giving us a simple and enjoyable escape for a few hours. They broaden our horizons, deepen our imaginations, relieve stress, and at their best, give us a glimpse into our true selves, as we see them reflected in some character on the screen. Needless to say, many films also carry life-changing messages in them. Every great movie had a story arc that left us on the edge of our seats, waiting for the next scene to unfold. Additionally, every great story has an overreaching theme that we could relate to on some level. The movies on this list may not be your favorite, but they all have had an impact on culture and filmmaking.  With input from critics, history, and a love of the medium, here are our 25 Best Movies Ever Made. And even if you don’t agree with all the movies listed here, we’re sure you’ll agree with us on some of them! The movie gradually gained notoriety and success, making it a sleeper hit, and became the third film to win Academy Awards in all top five categories. It was nominated for seven Oscars in total, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Adapted Screenplay. It even spawned a television show which isn’t quite as gripping as the movie itself, but what movie can claim it went on and became a television series? Fun Fact: According to a Reddit Ask Me Anything answer from Ford himself, originally the iconic sword and gun scene was supposed to be much longer, but Ford had dysentery at the time and had to take frequent (very frequent) filming breaks. Because of this, he and Spielberg decided that it would be better if he just shot the guy. We agree; it was better. Leone hadn’t originally intended the movies to be a trilogy. So if you haven’t seen the first two, it won’t impact your enjoyment of  The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly. If you’re a fan of cinema in general, Leone’s work stands out for its well-thought-out close-ups, his use of silence, and dramatic scores. This is a great example of the genre at its zenith. That is one of the many reasons why it’s on our list of 25 best movies ever made! It also demanded more from its fight choreography than any other movies being made at the time, with actors and stunt doubles spending six months to train before shooting. When it went to DVD in 1999, VHS was still king. The Matrix helped facilitate the industry shift from VHS to DVD by being the first movie to sell over 1 million DVD copies. This 1999 film was directed by Sam Mendes and adapted by Alan Ball from his own stage play of the same name.  It is about a telesales operative, disillusioned with his life and seeking fresh excitement. A critical and commercial success, this film won four Academy Awards, including Best Screenplay, Best Director, and Best Actor. A combination of never before used CGI from George Lucas’ Industrial Light & Magic, combined with models from the legendary Sam Winston, brought a level of realism to the film that had not been seen before. On a more light-hearted note, there are some other enjoyable aspects of the movie that make it worth watching. One aspect that sets this apart from other movies is its perfect blend of beautiful scenery and heart-wrenching drama. When not wondering if Jack will survive or if Rose will be reunited with her fiancé, viewers can enjoy taking in the gorgeous scenes set around Earth’s largest ocean liner. The filmmakers didn’t hesitate to go “all in” at a time when epic high fantasy on this scale wasn’t a sure box office hit. For this reason, it accomplished a rare feat, receiving praise from old fans as well as new, and being included in our 25 best movies ever made! Despite being in Japanese, the movie is filmed and acted in such a way that you could understand what’s going on even without the subtitles. Additionally, despite being three and a half hours long, Seven Samurai doesn’t suffer from pacing problems that many modern movies do. Also, yes, the sword fights are amazing. Sherlock has special senses and knowledge that can only be used to solve crimes in the story.  What sets this film apart from others is the unusual plotline. The audience does not know until midway through the film if Sherlock or John are telling the truth about what happened during their time together. In addition, there are several twists and turns throughout the plotline that keep audiences on their toes wondering what will happen next. And overnight, Tyler Durden’s line, “The first rule of Fight Club is – you do not talk about Fight Club,” became one of the most popular quotes of the decade. It’s also interesting to note that before Empire was released in 1980, fans had no idea that Luke and Leia were twins. Additionally, no one knew Darth Vader was their father. This is Star Wars at its very best, paternity, heartbreak, cocky declarations of love, and loss of lives, and dreams – only to see it come full circle, and then some! It may be difficult for some viewers to see something so horrific as Hitler’s rise, but this movie teaches us that we can laugh and love even in the darkest times. This film proves that love and hope can triumph over any obstacle. It’s one of those rare films that gets better every time you watch it. We may never get the ultimate showdown between Thor and Thanos that we deserve, but this is close enough. Even if this is the end for some of these characters, I feel satisfied knowing that these actors gave their all for these roles, and delivered a satisfying conclusion to one of Marvel’s best story arcs yet. She crosses into the realm of the gods and must not only keep herself alive but save her parents who have been turned into pigs. It won the 2003 Academy Award for a best-animated feature and remains an example of why fairy tales aren’t all necessarily intended for small children. In it, Spielberg chronicles the life of Oskar Schindler, a businessman living in World War II Germany who saved the lives of thousands of Jews by offering them employment. It’s a beautiful glimpse into human nature and the different motivations we all bring to the table. It wasn’t until the film came out on television long after its initially disappointing performance at the box office that 12 Angry Men achieved its legendary status. His assignment is to infiltrate the world of the Na’vi people inhabiting Pandora, who are resisting human encroachment into their territory. In his human form, he falls for a beautiful Na’vi woman Neytiri (Zoe Saldana) and becomes torn between his duty as a soldier and his love for her. This is one of the most popular movies ever made, it’s rated PG-13 and will keep you captivated from start to finish. Plus, there are some incredible special effects. Three different stories are woven out of chronological order and take you on a sexy, weird, eye-popping violent ride that was everything you didn’t know you wanted from a movie. It was nominated for four Academy Awards and won Best Original Screenplay. With Earth in the throes of ecological disaster, the team must find out how best to save what remains – before it’s too late. The effects in the movie are overwhelming and immersive as we truly feel like we’re in these different eras across space and time, witnessing events unfold before our very eyes. It’s also an incredibly thought-provoking experience that questions just how far we would go for our children – will you sacrifice yourself for them?  Starting with his death at Xanadu, his estate in Florida, it tells the story of Charles Foster Kane’s life, jumping between the past and interviews in the present with those who knew him. Admit it, you’re a movie buff. It’s okay. We are too. If you liked this list, you need to check out 25 Best Netflix Original Movies.
