My Top Five Movies



#5

The Shawshank Redemption is one of the greatest movies every made and many critics would agree. It conveys one of the most important messages in life. Andy Dufresne “Tim Robbens” befriends “Red” played by Morgan Freeman and asks him to smuggle a rock hammer into the prison. The movie follows the life of Andy on the inside and shows exactly how a huge task can be done bit by bit.

An amazing story 7/10 




#4

Step Brothers is in my opinion one of the best comedies ever made. The plot alone is so bizarre you know you are in for a treat. Two 40 year old men living with their parents is just so idiotic you can help but laugh. The movie also casts two of the best in the business Brennan Huff played by Will Farrell and Dale Doback played by John C. Reilly.

Tummy crunching funny 8/10




#3

Midnight In Paris is a very interesting movie and another one of my personal favourites. The movies questions would life be better before our own time? Have you wished you were born in a different decade? This is exactly what Gil “Owen Wilson” wonders when he finds himself reeling back the years and discovers himself in Paris in the 1920s. With dreams of living in Paris after he marries his fiancĂ©e Inez “Rachel McAdams” but with her against the idea what will he do?

A journey back in time 8/10




#2

Dear John is a very worthy runner up. This is a movie I have watched time and time again and love it more and more every time I watch it. This is you typical “chick flick” based on a novel by Nicholas Sparks. Its about a U.S. marine and the love of his life.  John played by Channing Tatum meets Savannah played by Amanda Seyfried on the beach on day and they hit it off. When John is deployed to secret locations the couple decides to exchange letter and follows the story from there.

Emotional roller coaster 9/10




#1

Pearl Harbor is without a doubt my favourite movie by a country mile. It tells the story of two friends and their experience with World War II. It would be a shame to tell the story of the movie because nothing I say would give it the justice it deserves. All I can say is you are truly missing out if you have not seen it yet. It gets me every time. As a viewer you can only sit, glued to the screen.


Outstanding 10/10
