Movies And Series that hit the right spot

Terminator 2: Judgment Day: My absolute favorite. Even though this might look like "just another action blockbuster", this movie really has a heart. The characters are well written, and it also showed the how the character grows / changes over the course of the movie. After watching this movie I went on a 80's and 90's action movies phase for the next few days because my "movie adrenaline" is pumping and watching other genre of movies would probably bore me.

Groundhog Day: One of the most rewatchable movies ever. Brilliant performance from both the leads. What I like most about this movie is it showed the different mentality Phil is in. From denial, to acceptance, then making use of the situation to his own benefits, to finally becoming a man that everyone loves.

Time Trap: IMO this is a really great low budget indie Sci-Fi movie. The plot is really creative, and very different from most of the mainstream movies that we've been getting. I was really engaged from start to finish. And the 2 female leads are eye candies which is definitely a bonus point.

L.A Confidential: IMO one of the most well made and smart film ever. No glaring plotholes. Curtis Hanson did a really great job at handling the 3 main characters. It was so satisfying to see when all 3 storylines of each character converged into one perfectly.

The Thing: A 1982 movie that doesn't feel dated at all. This movie is about paranoia, and it really showed how each different individual will react in times of crisis. It just absorbs you into the world it built, and like the characters, you are constantly guessing who is The Thing and who's not.

Heat: One of the best crime movie ever. I love how they have 2 protagonist on opposite side of the law, and it's hard for me to even make up my mind on who to support. Each characters are well developed. Also this movie have the best shootout scene ever.

The Social Network: What make this movie so great is the dialogue. It isn't quotable like a Tarantino movie, but the exchanges between the characters are so on point. The editing in this movie is very well done, as well as the pacing, which at no point you feel it is too slow.

The Dark Knight Trilogy: If i were to choose 1, it will be The Dark Knight Rises. I'm not a superhero movie fan, but this trilogy is so different from other superhero movies. It is very grounded, dark and gritty. All 3 movies tackle different themes. BB is about fear, TDK is about chaos, and TDKR is about hope.

Hacksaw Ridge: I was left thinking about this movie for days after watching it. It really showed me the horrors of war, and how a superhero without super powers managed to save 75 lives. In addition to that those war scenes are entertaining as hell.

The Truman Show: This is my favorite Jim Carrey movie. He is absolutely brilliant in here. Throughout the movie, I find myself constantly rooting for Truman. Also, this movie has an amazing score, and a brilliant plot.

Depending on the day and my mood, these movies may crack the top 10: Minority Report, Titanic, Inception, The Bourne Trilogy, Nightcrawler, Die Hard
