The Terminal is a great, highly rewatchable feel good movie. Tom Hanks performance with a sort of Bulgarian accent is awesome. A must watch!

Wall Street
Before Wolf of Wall Street, we had Wall Street. But don’t expect the same level of acting and directing from this movie. Its a good movie, not great. So watch it as a time passer or if you like Michael Douglas or Charlie Sheen.
12 Angry Men
I do love a good Trial Drama, but rarely do we see it from a jury’s perspective. We have seen great arguments from great Lawyer’s like My Cousin Vinny, but never have I even seen any other movie where there are arguments about a case within the jury. 12 Angry Men is 64 years old and is still fresh and relevant, not really into black and white movies but I have rarely seen a bad movie whose whole premise takes place in a single room without a break. A real masterpiece with interesting characters.
The Truman Show
The Truman Show is not your average Jim Carrey movie, it is the best. This masterpiece is much deeper than what it seems at first, do watch the numerous video essays on it. You’ll be tempted to re-watch after that.
First Man
First Man is one of the most boring movies of all time. Even the most awesome scenes of flying rockets and experimental planes seem so disorienting and boring, having no music doesn’t help much – That were my initial thoughts while watching the 1st part of First Man. Luckily I continued to watch the second half of the movie a couple of days later. Still slow .. slow .. family .. slow.. and then spoiler alert comes the moon landing, and the orchestra starts playing the best haunting yet calming music, and the same disorienting shorts of flying the spacecraft become the most exhilarating moment in the history of cinema (after Interstellar docking scene – of course) I might re watch this movie again once, some day, but I have watched the moon landing scene with full volume almost every night for a month, and occasionally now. Its scenes and music like these make even a bad movie worth watching.
The Greatest Game Ever Played
I’m sure most of us don’t like Golf, but “The Greatest Game Ever Played” is much more than just golf. The direction and acting is quite spectacular. Highly recommended to watch as it is quite rewatchable. As Shia LaBeouf once said “Just do it!”
Fight Club
Well, Fight Club is a classic all time best movie. If you are among the lucky few who hasn’t already seen this movie, just watch it. Don’t google it or talk to anybody about it, nothing. Just watch it. I’m sure many of us watch to re-watch it like its the first time again.
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…
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!
