1993 ‧ Comedy/Romance ‧ 1h 41m Groundhog day is my all time favorite feel good movie. Its actually a pretty inspiring movie. Living the same day over and over is done by a handful of movies now, but for most of the movies it usually revolves around a life or death situation or getting the girl. This movie also tries to be about getting the girl initially, but that’s not what the movie is about, and ends with the simplest and best ending. Quite rewatchable actually! would recommend watching once…

The Big Short
2015 ‧ Drama/Comedy-drama ‧ 2h 10m The Big Short is a dramatized biopic based off the 2008 Global Financial crisis. As a finance enthusiast I know the real story behind the crisis, hence I really liked the film. There are many other films based off the 2008 real estate crisis, but none of them are as stylized as this one, with A-list actors like Brad Pitt, Christian Bale, Steve Carell & Ryan Gosling. With big Cameos from celebrities, taking a break from the flow of the movie and actually explaining…
Predestination
2014 ‧ Sci-fi/Action ‧ 1h 37m A movie filled with so many spoilers, would recommend not even watching the trailer, and felt cheated even reading the description of the trailer. Just trust me and take a leap of faith. This under-rated movie was never recommended to me by anyone. And was put off by me twice, once after skipping through the movie and not seeing anything special and the 2nd time watching the movie and getting bored after 10mins, as I couldn’t even understand what genre of movie I was…
The Prestige
One of Christopher Nolan’s best, yet most underrated movie. The Prestige is a masterclass in acting and directing, One of my most re -watched staple, whose plot twist gets me every time!
The Fountain
Truly a hidden gem. This movie is one of the most underrated movies of its time. Its quite an emotional movie which deals with death through science fiction and hits you where it hurts most with its stunning visuals (expect nothing less from Darren Aronofsky) and great music score (by Clint Mansell).
Gattaca
Gattaca is among the top inspirational movies ever, I have seen people frame quotes from this movie to their desk. This dystopian movie doesn’t feel so futuristic now, more so Gattaca has a beautiful message of achieving your dreams by working hard. Not heeding to society’s notion of what you can do.
My Cousin Vinny
My cousin Vinny is the best trial law movie ever
Paprika
I enjoy watching popular anime but not really a big fan of the genre. Film medium is more of my preference, with Christopher Nolan being my one of my favorite directors. However, Once I found that my favorite film Inception was inspired by this Japanese anime film “Paprika” from 2006, I had to give it a watch. The trailer and music seemed thrilling, but nothing could have prepared me for the movie. It just starts right in the middle of it. Great movie, engaging story, with just 90 minutes of run time, leaves you wanting for more.
