- #1May 30, 2018"This Academy Award-winning movie is easily the greatest adaptation of a Stephen King novel to date, and easily stands in and of itself as a great film. Its basic premise is about a man who is wrongfully imprisoned for the murder of his wife and her secret lover, the trials and tribulations he faces, the people he meets, the friends he makes, and ultimately how to persist even in the worst of situations. This is an emotionally powerful film, with excellent performances from the entire cast, most notably Morgan Freeman in quite possibly the greatest role of his entire career. This is a definite must-watch."

The Shawshank Redemption - #2May 21, 2018"Very realistic and intense comedy film noir. It is another Netflix original that is very well made and with interesting characters . Joe Denton is a good man with a past that includes small crimes and time in prison. He is escaping prison and talking to a man named Chaplin. It also has some very thought provoking and serious dialogue. Don't want to spoil it but it was worth the time."

Small Crimes - #3May 24, 2018"Another overrated movie with poor acting from Will Smith. How long are they going to keep putting this guy into garbage movies? I really struggled to get through this thing and wouldn't recommend it to anyone unless you want to torture yourself. Maybe someone could watch it to see what bad acting is all about. Otherwise, just avoid this thing. It's a throwaway movie."

Focus - #4May 24, 2018"I watch a lot of series on Netflix, so when I seen this one, I thought I would give it a try. This is one of those quirky shows that doesn't fall into just one category. It's a crime drama, it's a comedy, but of all things it is, it is very good. This show will have you wanting to binge watch them all. This is truly a one of a kind show."
Refering to:
I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore - #5May 27, 2018"I loved this movie the first time I watched it and every other time since. I love the whole trilogy. It's one of the first trilogies where the sequel is as good as the original too. I love all the characters and the drama and the action in it. Kind of an inside look on what crime families are all about. A must see in my opinion."
Refering to:
The Godfather - #6May 21, 2018"truly a remarkable film about one of the all time great leaders of our world. This is a story that is sure to captivate and enthrall as you learn about the incredible life of this remarkable man. It goes through lots of his life events in great detail and is very well written and acted, i cannot say enough. it is a masterpiece."

Gandhi - #7May 21, 2018"Watching this movie was an emotional experience for me because I could relate many parts of the movie to my friend's life when we were younger. However, I wouldn't recommend anyone with an eating disorder to watch this film because the way the characters talk and discuss the issue may be harmful to a person recovering."
Refering to:
To the Bone - #8June 2, 2018"Schindler's List is a classic movie for a reason. It is dramatic, heartbreaking, and eyeopening. It is easily one of Spielberg's best movies. The story of the survivors is graphic but realistic. It is in black and white, which some people may not like, but I think it adds to the drama of the movie."
Refering to:
Schindler's List - #9June 1, 2018"The Room is a taut drama and black comedy about a banker named Johnny who is duped by his fiancee Lisa and his friend Mark. I consider the drama genre to be pretty competitive, since there are so many great films in that genre, but this one definitely holds its own."
Refering to:
The Room - #10June 2, 2018"One of the best films of all time! I love dramas and this surpassed my expectations. There is a reason it is a classic and often rated in the top 10 on critic's lists. If you haven't seen it, you're missing out it's a must see film."
Refering to:
Citizen Kane - #11June 11, 2018"This movie is gritty without being profane, and has a premise like nothing else I have seen. The plot seems over-the-top, but the execution is very realistic. This is a great movie if you're looking for something a bit different."
