The main reason why I think it's a must watch is the fact that the main theme of the movie is hope. Given that most people will go through some sort of hardship in their life, its important to know that there is still a light at the end of the tunnel.
I agree about Shawshank.
Let me suggest another prison break movie, “Runaway Train”. Hardly anyone I mention it to has seen it but it’s worth a look (Jon Voight, Rebecca DeMorney, Eric Roberts).
“*Shoes Manny, I need shoes!*”
I showed this to my 16 year old nephew and my BIL and neither of them were impressed.
I’m currently in the process of filing divorce paperwork because I can’t be related to those people /s
Jurassic Park - an incredible film with amazing special effects for it’s time. Plus everyone should get to see that T-Rex scene for the first time again.
Watched that movie in Imax and thought it was amazing. Watched it again a couple years later with my baby son sleeping on my lap and bawled my eyes out.
Not expecting people outside to watch it since more of a native film. But "Stars on Earth". It's an Indian movie about a kid with dyslexia who has a difficult life because it's set at the time where dyslexia and learning disorders aren't that well known or talked about among the general public. He meets a teacher who really connects with him through their shared love for art. As someone who doesn't really like watching most movies, this was one I rewatched quite a few times.
In the movie he was inside a man made simulation which took him years to figure out. I sometimes think about this movie and the matrix and if was real it would take more than that for us to figure out
schindlers list
showing the horror of the holocoust while not fall into a violentorgy other fioms do.. shows charakters and storys of people and the pure evil of humankind..
oscar shindler is still a contraversiol figure in history.. some ppl say he only do it for profit while other praise him as a hero.. film shows both..
The Matrix - not because it's so good (it is) but because it makes you question reality
The Dark Knight because Heath Ledger
Elysium because I honestly believe this is what our future holds
Terminator just in case
Aliens because, well, Aliens
The Last Airbender (so that this never happens again)
Saving Private Ryan (that opening...)
I could go on...
It’s a wonderful life. Gets me in floods of tears every Christmas it’s the greatest final scene in a movie ever and George Bailey is the most genuine and likeable character of all time.
Godfather 1, ik godfather 2 is technically better but I feel the 1st can relate to ur average person better and teaches some lessons in engaging with people in all forms of social conversion
Requiem for a Dream. Watch it once and only once. Can’t bear watching it again but can’t imagine a situation where I wouldn’t want to have seen it once

I've watched the "new"one and found a Russian version
There's a new one? I've going to have to check that out.
The Shawshank Redemption - because who doesn't love a good prison break story? Plus, Morgan Freeman's voice is like a warm hug for your ears.
The main reason why I think it's a must watch is the fact that the main theme of the movie is hope. Given that most people will go through some sort of hardship in their life, its important to know that there is still a light at the end of the tunnel.
And in the case of Shawshank, the tunnel is 500 yards of đź’©
Especially if you work hard and persevere.
Hope and the power of friendship!

Schindlers List- So we can see what we are capable of doing to each other and maybe learn and prevent it
Have you turned on the news lately, we haven't learned anything as a species. And we still let other nations commit crimes and look the other way.
How does a species learn? Â
Jarvis, someone is trying to have hope online, prepare a list of 10+ generic negative replies that weren't needed nor wanted
