Movies to watch before you die


Movies to watch before you die. I think this line is searched on Google under three circumstances; first if you are a super movie freak, second if you are fortunate enough to know, you are going to die, and third when you are super depressed and want something to cheer you up. If you are not one of these three categories then too I will insist you to go through this blog and do watch the mentioned movies.

It’s a wonderful life
You actually realize the fact, when you finish watching this evergreen masterpiece by Frank Capra. And, if you happen to belong to one of the mentioned categories then you certainly have found what you were looking for! 

If you crave for more go for the next name on the list.

Forest Gump
From the opening scene, which is quite wonderful, itself I was dumbstruck to the amazing filming. But, Robert Zemeckis's direction is not the only thing that promises to touch ones heart. The incredible plot will make you involve in this amazing person’s life story so much that your heart will start pounding with the flow of emotions in the movie. 

Till the day I am confused for single thing. But the same goes with life you never completely understand it!

Trouble in paradise
If life is bliss then it is paradise. And, if there is a trouble in paradise then the situation becomes really comic. You ever said you don't like black and white movies? Try this Ernst Lubitsch's piece of work!

Dasvidaniya
The word literally means, “Good Bye.”

The film portrays the best way to say good bye to life! But don’t wait for the end, because by each passing moment you too are dying. Start living before you die, completely. A film like this makes an life-lasting impact. Though the film was failure at box office I would say, Hats-off! to Shashant Shah and group.

Life of Pi
I tell you to watch it, not what to see in it! That is your personal call, your personal understanding and your personal journey. 

Ang Lee, cast and crew had successfully made it to the pages of history by this movie.

The Matrix

"What is real?  How do you define real?  If you are talking about what you can feel, what you can smell, what you can taste and see, then real is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain."

Unfortunately, no one can be told what the matrix is.  You have to see it for yourself.

Let me share just one piece of information.
There was a time when I watched it every Saturday and Sunday for months (around 6), until one day a friend borrowed the VCD to never return. 
It also happens to be the first movie I downloaded to watch in Blu-ray, and it took months on the slow broadband connection. This is one of the best movies ever made (at least according to me). 

Just two words: Watch It!

The movie really makes you wonder about the talents of writer and director, Larry and Andy Wachowski.

The Fountain
Once you have seen all the above mentioned movies you are ready for the fountain. This one is on the list just to play with your mind and mess around with all those preconceived notions you have about everything. You have to figure out the story yourself, literally.

Darren Aronofsky will definitely leave you awe-struck and confused!

Fight Club
When you act coward and run away from yourself you become frustrated and you fight with others. But, when you act valiant and enjoy the battle of life you don’t fight, at all. Make peace with yourself and join the Fight Club!



Afterall David Fincher is, David Fincher.

A Beautiful Mind
The Oscar winning film has off-course won it for a reason. The true story of a Nobel Prize winner John Nash is really a heartwarming experience. It reminds us that every moment we live, we are writing the script of our movie. We just have to make sure, it is worth watching!

Who would have made it better than Ron Howard!

Big Fish
It is a storyteller’s life story in his own words. You got it. It is bound to be interesting! 


The story teller, Tim Burton's art of story telling is best revealed in this tale.

Three Idiots
“Life is about learning!” that is what those bore looking philosophers say. But, Ranchod Das Shayamal Das Chan Chad has a completely different take on it. The man with the majestic presence, who broke every rule that was ever made and then too emerged to be a victor, suddenly vanished into thin air. Why, when, where and how. Watch it to find out!

This piece of Rajkumar Hirani 's work also deserves standing ovation like his other works. 

When you done watching these movies stop watching life on the screen and start living it!
