Top 5 Movies

First off, these movies aren't in any particular order. Just my Top 5.

Reservoir Dogs

This movie had the most interesting storytelling, best plot, and best acting I have seen. The way that this story was told backwards, unfolding evidence that slowly lets us understand what's going on. This movie requires your absolute full attention, and to collaborate with whoever you were watching it with after, to understand who did what, and the question of "why?" could be interpreted any way you want.

The unique element of this movie, which is one of main reasons I love it so much, is that the story begins kind of throwing you into a situation that you have almost no idea what's going. It begins with a man driving a mortally wounded friend/colleague, attempting to find a safe place. Then other people mystery people show up, but you find out who they are, and how they were affiliated with the robbery through flashbacks. Overall the whole presentation was awesome, and is definitely an A+ movie in my book.

Forrest Gump

Forrest Gump probably takes the cake for the saddest movie I've seen. It showed how much war could hurt people, both mentally and physically. Tom Hanks was superb playing the role of Forrest, probably one of the best acting jobs I have seen. The movie also had its some comical lines, like Forrest telling everyone he was shot in the buttocks, kept the movie somewhat lighthearted.

But ultimately, this was one of my favorite movies of all time. Run Forrest, run!

Star Wars: The Original Trilogy

The original Star Wars Trilogy was kind of a revolutionary for sci-fi adventure movies. The movies had it all: amazing plot, amazing characters, amazing acting, and (for its time) amazing special effects. And to top it off, Han Solo is one of the most badass characters ever.

Even people who haven't seen the movies know of Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, and most of all, Darth Vader. These movies have some of the most epic fighting scenes and weapons, and are able to be watched countless times. If there's a small possibility that you haven't seen them, you're probably shunned by your friends and family.

The Dark Knight

The Dark Knight was the best Batman movie created. It showcases the iconic battle between Batman and the Joker. This never ending fight could've ended many times, if not for Batman's self made rule that prohibits him from killing anyone. This movie had plenty of action and a great, complicated plot. It even featured the Joker blowing up a hospital dressed as a nurse.

This movie even introduced another villain that was molded from a hero, Two-Face. That part of the movie was very powerful emotionally, showing that the best of people could be molded into horrible people. So overall, amazing and very entertaining movie.

The Avengers

I know this is a new movie that isn't widely regarded as a great, but it really impressed me. The special effects are some of the best, if not the best I've ever seen. Every explosion and fall looked like it was actually happening.

The plot was really good as well, and the part that dazzled me the most was that they were able to take tiny little details and side-stories from the other Marvel superhero movies (Captain America, Thor, Iron Man) and connect them to this movie. The Avengers was like a big mash-up of the other movies, leaving me going like "Hey I remember that!" the whole movie. Myself and everyone else who I've heard from was entertained from start to finish.
