IMDB-250 has been a reference to watch movies for quite some time. Most of the movies on the list are watched by everyone. So I ‘m going to list few movies which are good but somehow miss out from the IMDB 250.
The man from earth ( imdb 8.2) Even after having a rating of 8.2 the movie doesn’t feature on IMDB’s 250 list. The movie got popular by word of mouth and now it’s an extremely popular movie among the downloaders. The producers of the movie thanked torrent for making the movie popular. Filmed in a single location (mostly a room) with an average camera and at very small budget, Movie boasts an extremely novel and powerful script. If you haven’t watched it and you think yourself a movie buff then you should seriously rethink.
Babel( imdb 7.6) Third and last in the death trilogy of Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, Babel is underrated with quite a distance. A bullet is fired by a kid in Morrocco and lives of characters spanning 3 continents change dramatically. With chilling background score by Gustavo Santaolalla and a great script by Guillermo Arriaga and Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu makes it a must watch.
Dead man walking (imdb 7.6) Directed by Tim Robbins (aka Andy Dufrense :P:P ), this movie depicts the last few months of a prisoner waiting on the death row. An Oscar winning performance by Susan Sarandon , an awesome Sean Penn as sexist, racist , unrepentant prisoner waiting for execution and a superb screenplay (adapted by the novel by same name) by Tim Robbins makes this a must watch.
Road to Perdition ( imdb 7.8) Adapted from the graphic novel of the same name, Road to Perdition is a critically and commercially acclaimed film. Joseph Conrad set new benchmarks in cinematography with this movie. Packed with powerful performances by Tom Hanks, Paul Newman and Tyler Hocehlin as young Michael Sullivan Jr. and well directed by Sam Mendes, the movie is a must watch.
Lost in translation ( imdb 7.9) Written and directed by Sofia Coppola, Lost in translation is a beautiful movie. A strong screenplay and great direction, this movie is worth every penny you spend for the DVD or every minute you spend on downloading it. Bill Murray has given such an assured performance that you wonder many a times whether he is acting. Scarlett Johansson also gave a fine performance which is still considered by many as her best.
Born on 4th of July ( imdb 7.1) Another underrated movie. Based on the autobiography by Ron Covic, it depicts the post war trauma suffered by a soldier who is crippled below the waist. One among the Oliver Stone’s Vietnam War trilogy (Others are “Platoon” and “Heaven and Earth”), the movie is full of patriotic fervor and emotional quotient. Tom cruise gave his career best performance and earned his first Oscar nomination. (He eventually lost it to Daniel Day Lewis in “My Left Foot”).
Borat( imdb 7.6) No story line, no ensemble cast (only four actors -Rest of the characters in the movie are real life characters), no chilling stunts.Nothing. But this mocumentary movie will have you in splits. IT's an absolute laugh riot. Sasha Baron Cohen in the lead role is extreme fun. If you want to laugh, get this movie.
My cousin Vinny (imdb 7.3) This light and funny movie will surely tickle your laughing bone. With Joe Pesci and Marisha Tomei putting in a great performance, the movie never dips and makes a refreshing watch.
