If they would give an award for it, I’ll be undoubtedly
nominated for movies expertise!
I’ve spent most of my free time consuming movies
like breathing air. If you find me surfing on the net, it was mainly to look
for the next movie to watch. Lots of them were a complete waste of time; it got
me filled with disappointment and outrage every time I ended a terrible one,
that’s why it is always helpful to have a list of the best ranked and recommended movies
on you. After all, no one wants to throw out of the window two long hours on a
shitty movie, especially when you have high hopes for the end, but it turns out
that the producer had no intention to make it any better.
Then, later on, Hollywood regained ground and became
once again the evident first choice; people got captivated by the daring
comedies, the awesome superheroes, the thrilling action, the frightening
horrors, and above all the compelling stories. The American Culture began thus
spreading worldwide and lots of people were hooked. In fact, well-made movies are
a powerful way to communicate ideals, countries’ culture, promote a desired
image, and therefore expand influence.
Before discussing the failure of American movies nowadays
and the new choice everybody should absolutely opt for instead, let’s make a list of some memorable American Movies you must watch right away. The list is actually very long,
but I tried to select my top favorites:
1-
The wind river

on the left 2009

Unfortunately, the American movies Industry seems to
focus lately more on the profit than the quality content. We are
submerged in the endless number of unrealistic superheroes, the remakes of
multiple old movies and animations, the repetition of the same message over and
over again, that we became extremely thirsty for something new and different.
Although we must admit the outstanding effects and techniques used in recent
movies, the content however is becoming terribly mediocre and dreadfully boring.
The core of any movie is essentially the story-line and not the superficial
aspects, and that’s exactly where American movies are starting to fail: the
focus on extravagant environments, the prodigious effect of imaginary powers,
the figure of attractive actors and actresses, the flawless justice of
Americans, the perfection, the obvious actions and endings…
As a huge fan of American movies, I was really disappointed
of the awful lack of creativity and originality. The industry is simply
saturated, and its monopole time is nearly over. The rise of foreign movies
from all over the world, the quick circulation of information and the hunger of
people to discover new cultures and new perspectives, push Americans aside to
give place for worthier movies.
Here is a list of some awesome movies that got me
the following effect: “They are not Americans yet they managed to make the most
meaningful and creative movie ever, Just Bravo!”
Let’s start with Korean Movies, they actually surpassed all my expectations and
created some very good pieces, one of them won the Oscar last year: the famous
Parasite. South Korea already rocks the world with their fascinating K-Pop and compelling
K-Dramas, but their movies began to gain a larger popularity due to the artistic
storytelling, the unbeatable sense of humor, and the embodiment of an
undeniable reality.
1-
Parasite 2019: A
deep movie that will push you to scratch the decorated surface to discover
beneath it a much more terrible realism.

ending.
5-

2013: Yep, that was a South Korean movie; it had to be, just spectacular.
6-
The Age of
Shadows 2016: A revolution for freedom, a remarkable historical movie.

2019: Action Comedy, for the lovers of simplicity and utter humor.

unstoppable justice seeker.

10- Exit 2019: The new kind of Action/Romance.
11- 200 Pounds Beauty 2006: The funny Romance.
Second, the Indian Movies, Nop I’m not talking
about stupid love stories, hysterical action, and endless dancing and singing.
I’m talking about masterpieces; a supreme example of talent and authenticity; movies
that will snatch you from the lying screens and elegantly introduce you to the
brutal living world; movies that tackle multiple issues, incite us to think
thoroughly, and perceive under an unusual angle. Indians have indeed proven
that they can make first class movies effortlessly and artistically.

dare their minds, here is Another movie to add to the must watch list, a
Spanish film:

Erase the prejudice and just watch these movies without thinking twice, I
promise you won’t regret it.
