. 4) The Fountain : This movie is directed by Darren Aronofsky, one of the most innovative filmmakers working today. Darren Aronofsky has proved his genius by his Black Swan, Pi and this magnum opus.

. 6) The Matrix Series : Yep! The Matrix Series. Wachowskis have done a great job. This series has sparked off an interest in many scientific theories. In fact, many scientists all over the world are working on many ideas proposed in this series. That is how innovative, deep and profound this movie is. And as Robin Sharma, says in his book, Discover Your Destiny ," This movie is the greatest philosophical movie ever made...It has more than special effects. " Yep! I paraphrased his sentences. That is what his gist was. If you have seen this movie and it hasn't blown your mind away, you were dumb. Don't blame it upon the movie. I have myself encountered many stupid people who watch movie without eyes and ears. They just pass time. And nothing else. I mean. Come on, bro. With every movie, there has to be a different frame of mind. Your mind should be a blank slate. Don't watch with the "glass of prejudices and notions" you have formed in your life. Knowingly and unknowingly. Does it make sense? Lol.
7) The Terminal : Directed by Steven Spielberg, this movie is a real tearjerker. A feel-good movie. A beautiful and a very innocent performance by Tom Hanks. This movie teaches us that "no matter what happens, goodness is something that always counts.
" 8) Taste Of Cherry : This is a movie directed by one of the most influential Iranian filmmakers of all time, Abbas Kiaroastami. What a wonderful movie! It's a story about someone who wants to pay people for helping him to dig his grave! An interesting topic. The man goes around the city searching for someone who will help him die. The long periods of silence and the long takes of this movie are simply breathtaking! And always remember. Sometimes, silence is more expressive than words!
9) The Tree Of Life : This film is sheer poetry. No. Seriously. I mean it. I challenge you to watch this movie thoroughly. I am a massive film geek. But yet I haven't been able to watch this movie completely. Not that this movie is bad or anything. No way. Not at all. But on the contrary, this movie requires a different frame of mind. It requires something else. It requires you to mould your personality. And I am still trying to do that. Starring Brad Pitt, Jessica Chastain and Sean Penn, this film has images which are so haunting, beautiful, mesmerising, and breathtaking that you won't be the same again after watching them or rather, after feeling them. Yep! You heard me. Am not exaggerating. Terrence Malick is a genius. A mysterious and a wonderful director. This cinematic poetry is one of the greatest triumphs of human endeavour and brilliance. That is all I would say.
10) Life Itself : This is a documentary movie about the life of Roger Ebert who passed away in 2013. Roger Ebeet is literally regarded as the greatest film critic of all time. He was the first and the only film critic to have won Pulitzer Prize. This man and the way he lived his life is so amazing and eccentric that you would do nothing but salute him. This man reinforced my love of movies. This man changed the way I perceive cinema. Cinema is an art. Cinema is such a beautiful thing! I never knew it until I met him. This director made the lives of many directors, including Martin Scorsese. Yep! You heard me. MARTIN SCORSESE. It was Roger Ebert who gave a "rave review" of his first movie, Who Is That Knocking At My Door. Roger Ebert was a man who truly loved movies. And he truly recognised the power of cinema, the potential of cinema as an art. I recommend this documentary to anyone who loves movies or who thinks he loves movies. Roger Ebert will change your life. He will change your entire perspective on life. That is what this movie promises to do. Check it out to find out how true I am.
