Many of us to watch a movie that you saw a trailer of , or read about somewhere , yet sadly not all movies get the same publicity as major blockbusters with huge budgets , in this list im going to show you part of the greatest movies i have ever saw :
Moon (2009)
sam bell is a man responsible for providing earth with the material it need to survive to do that he have to be stationed on the moon alone for years , without human contact and only his robot friend GERTY to help him out , he starts to lose his mind and thats when it gets interesting.
why its so amazing : this movie without a doubt will test your sanity to the limit and the claustrophobic and loneliness of the moon sets the tone for this wild ride , its a one man show the whole movie you only get to see one main character , its a dangerous risk but sam rockwell pulls it off with a huge success , also the voice of kevin spacey is a nice touch .
Pi (1998)
a man who's good at math find the beauty in Pi and tries to implement it on the stock exchange market to find a pattern, to predict the future of things and have the power of knowledge .
why its so amazing : darren aronofsky's first masterpiece on our list , this movies is shot in black and white and it feels like a pure film student project , yet it has its charm and the style becomes part of the story , the character development is pretty amazing it shows how a normal man can turn crazy by his obsessions , and how it can control your life and behavior .
pan's labyrinth (2006)
a stepdaughter to a ruthless army man escapes her collapsing world to find a magical world that is filled with fairies and monsters , she must survive the trails set to her by those creatures to be their princess .
why its so amazing : EVERYTHING !! simple as that , the world that Guillermo del torro created makes tim burton's alice in wonderland look like yesterdays pizza , the creatures feel real and organic and the trails are simply bewildering and the main character does a really good job with connecting with the viewer,and the best part is Javier Navarrete's soundtrack u will hum it all day . ( youtube " una cuenta )
The Fountain (2005)
a love story thast everlasting between a dying wife and her devoted husband keen on saving her from cancer that crosses over 1000 years
why its so amazing : even the describtion is weird and it gets you thinking , this movie is darren aronofsky's sceond entry in our list and his best yet , i havent seen such an amazing work of art such as this one which lands the spot for the second greatest movie of all time in my list ( and clint mansell soundtrack trumps the one in pan's labyrinth )
Ed Wood (1994)
a down on his luck movie and plays producer try his best to get a funding to finish his never ending list of B movies and bad scripts .
why its so amazing : first off this johnny depp's finest role (jack sparrow minus the pirate clothes ) its a dark comedy so cruel and dark the jokes are on the actual lives of the cast , with some 4th wall breaking jokes ,the movie is carried out by the strong performances of johnny depp and martin landau which will make u come back and watch it over and over cause the click on the first scene together .
Sin Nombre (2009)
the story of a group of immigrants trying to get to the united states to join their families , but as always their journey is filled with immigration guards and Mexican and Guatemalan gangs .
why its so amazing : the characters are easily one of the strongest feature in this movie , you can easily connect to them and you actually care what will happen to them , its rare to see such an emotional investment in a movie character. its raw,gritty and real .
