Some Must See Movies

There Will Be Blood

 This 2007 American epic drama stars Academy Award winner Daniel Day-Lewis and Paul Dano, written, co-produced and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson. Being loosely based on Upton Sinclair's 1927 novel Oil!, the story follows a silver miner-turned-oilman set on a ruthless path for wealth during the Southern California oil boom of the early 20th century. Daniel Day-Lewis won the academy award for best actor for his portrayal of the main character Daniel Plainview. This movie truly is an American classic and has been recognized for its expression of tenacious greed in American culture. One of my all time favorite movies!






Saving Private Ryan

This 98' Academy Award winning American epic war film stars Tom Hanks and Matt Damon, and was directed by Steven Spielberg. It is set during the invasion of Normandy in World War II, noted for is extremely realistic and graphic portrayal of war, mainly its first opening scene depicting the Omaha Beach assault of June 6, 1944. This highest-grossing film of its release year has proven through the years to be a measurable film of the war genre. Other than this star-studded cast, the movie express many real and thought-provoking themes to catch the hearts and emotion of any who watch it. Another great movie to add to any collection.

No Country for Old Men

This 2005 American neo-Western thriller was directed, written, and edited by the amazing movie-making duo consisting of Joel and Ethan Coen. Based on the novel of the same name by Cormac McCarthy starring Tommy Lee Jones, Javier Bardem and Josh Brolin, this film is set in the American-Mexican border during 1980 and follows the three characters as they ensue a game of cat-and-mouse with a money-filled briefcase from a drug deal gone bad. The Coen brothers exemplified McCarthy's themes of fate, conscience and circumstance in this impacting thriller. Winning for best picture and best supporting actor for Javier Bardems chilling portrayal of the ruthless killer, Anton Chigurh, I would definitely recommend this film to anyone, it is truly a masterpiece.
