Top movies worth watching?

Of course, it is impossible to answer such a general question clearly and precisely: over the centuries-long history of the existence of cinema, hundreds of magnificent films have been released. Any top will only be a subjective reflection of the author's tastes. I tried to take different genres and choose something bright and interesting from them.

Only girls in jazz

The story of two unemployed musicians who, fleeing gangsters, got a job in a women's jazz orchestra. To do this, they themselves had to change into girls.

Featuring a gorgeous trio of actors from Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon and Marilyn Monroe, this comedy never gets old. An incredible amount of gags, visual jokes and catchphrases will amuse even the most serious viewer.

Shine

The adaptation of the novel of the same name by Stephen King is dedicated to the writer who gets a job as a caretaker of a closed hotel for the winter and moves there with his family. But it turns out that evil dwells within the walls of this place.

Stanley Kubrick's film did not like the original author himself. But fans all over the world still love this picture. It combines the idea of an invisible evil that drives people crazy, the incredible visuals inherent in the director, and the great performance of Jack Nicholson.

Ten little indians

A group of strangers arrives at a mansion on the island at the invitation of a mysterious stranger. Soon, a voice from the speakers accuses each of them of a crime, and then the guests begin to die one by one.

In the USSR, a lot of great adaptations of classic detective stories were shot (which the films about Sherlock Holmes are worth), but Ten Little Indians is the picture that keeps you in suspense until the very end.

Seven

Two detectives are investigating the case of a maniac with no name. It turns out that he blames his victims for mortal sins, and then kills, leaving clues for the police.

The strongest and most subtly detailed film by David Fincher is considered one of the best works of both Brad Pitt and Kevin Spacey. And the famous Morgan Freeman complements the excellent cast.

12 angry men

After the trial, the jury meets in the deliberation room. They must decide whether the accused - a young man from a poor neighborhood - is guilty of murder. The matter seems quite obvious, but one dissenting person suggests looking at it in more detail.

The chamber painting, almost all of which takes place in one room, subtly studies human nature. Even talking about the life of a stranger, many want to quickly figure it out and leave. And then the conversations develop into violent arguments.

Toughie

Police Officer John McClain visits his wife in Los Angeles for Christmas. And then he gets involved in a showdown with terrorists who have taken hostages in a skyscraper.

Perhaps there are many films in the world where the action is staged cooler and more dynamic. But it is not easy to find a more witty and bright action movie. One of the first big roles of Bruce Willis and the many great statements of the protagonist will definitely catch even those who are cool about the genre.

Good bad evil

A steep shooter with no name wanders around the Wild West. He joins forces with other criminals in search of the treasure. But the heroes, of course, don't trust each other.

The classics from Sergio Leone will delight the bright role of Clint Eastwood in his prime, as well as the ingenious soundtrack from Ennio Morricone.

Titanic

Poor young man Jack gets on a fancy liner, where he meets Rose from high society. The heroes fall in love with each other. But tragedy awaits them.

James Cameron's film at one time won 11 Oscars, and deservedly so. After all, the picture combines a large-scale disaster that happened in reality and a touching love story.

Back to the Future

Marty McFly from 1985 travels into the past in a time machine invented by his friend Doc. Now he must force his parents to have an affair, and at the same time turn to the young version of the scientist to help him return.

Here it is worth talking not only about the first film, but about the entire trilogy. They very vividly reveal one of the theories of time travel, and they do it in an almost comedic form.

Lord of the Rings

The adaptation of the legendary book by J. R. R. Tolkien tells about the world of Middle-earth. The hobbit Frodo and his friends must destroy the ring of omnipotence in order to prevent Sauron from returning to the world and taking it over.

Director Peter Jackson has done an incredible job showing cutting-edge special effects and charismatic characters. Regarding the original, many details were changed, but the spirit of the fantasy novel itself was conveyed perfectly.
