There are a lot of them. I love them so much and they teach me so much that I can never ever forget them- The Pursuit of Happyness, Bhaag Milkha Bhaag and many more have just secured a permanent place in my heart.

The Lovely Bones. The movie is amazing but absolutely haunting. I think the first time I watched it I was crying 75% of the time. I've definitely never looked at Stanley Tucci the same ever again after the character he played in it.

Guardians of Ga'Hoole. I love how they created the background to make it seem so real.

I think a movie that I could never forget about is Knives Out. There are a lot of memorable actors in it, the acting was great, plot was great, it was humorous and kept a mystery going. It's one of my favorites to turn on in the background.

Insidious. That movie scared me so much the first time I watched it, that I was scared after it was over. I can usually step out of the horror once the movie is over, but that movie left an IMPRESSION on me.

There is a couple. But am going to choose matrix because it highlighted technology that was ahead of its time.And it was well scripted.Thought provoking if i may

It has to be 'Your name'. It's an animé movie and it is just brilliant.
The music is absolutely amazing. Every single soundtrack completely absorbs you, it's almost magical.

Lord's of the rings got all what it takes to reach the peak.
The characters' appearance shows how experienced the movie director is.

Citizen Kane. What a beautiful movie. It encompasses the entire life of the main character, and it feels like an epic- a story talking about how one can change. It's exceedingly simple, and that's why it's so great.
A process cannot be understood by stopping it. Understanding must move with the flow of the process, must join it and flow with it.

The only person who can sympathize with and understand you, is you. So, be good to yourself.

The matrix trilogy
That trilogy was way ahead of its time technology wise.
The characters and screenplay was just amazing

The Phantom of The Opera is one movie that I will never forget about. The story-telling is beautiful and the music captures your heart. The soundtrack alone keeps me coming back for more.

One of my favorite movies as a kid growing up in the 90s was "The Pagemaster" with Macaulay Culkin. It was a mix of real-life and 2D animation. Culkin gets sucked into different adventures based on book genres (horror, adventure, fantasy). Each of the forementioned genres is embodied in an animated book that joins Culkin's character on his adventure to get back to his world.

It includes other famous actors such as Christopher Lloyd, and Whoopi Goldberg just to name a couple. I would watch this all the time on our VCR, especially on stormy days. I haven't seen it in years and I wonder if it holds up but I remember it being a great film. I wonder if it played a role in my love of reading?
