10 Movies with Valuable Life lessons

1: THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION                             Hope is always a good thing. Get busy living or get busy dying Crawl through the river of shit Keep your mind occupied when things around aren’t just fine 2:FIGHT CLUB                       Sometimes, Pain can be redemptive. Never lose hope. Keep moving. It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything You are slave of your 'civilized' mind - Your job, money, cars, girlfriend, everything owns you. The things you own end up owning you. The problem is think we have time. We expect somebody to bring the change in our lives. If you are passionate about something, pursue it. At least, you will not die with regrets. 3:PEACEFUL WARRIOR                                       ...

Top 10 war movies

10. Where Eagles Dare                As the second world war thriller became bogged down during the mid-60s in plodding epics like Operation Crossbow and The Heroes of Telemark, someone was needed to reintroduce a little sang-froid, some post-Le Carré espionage, and for heaven's sake, some proper macho thrills into the genre. Alistair Maclean stepped up, writing the screenplay and the novel of Where Eagles Dare simultaneously, and Brian G Hutton summoned up a better than usual cast headed by Richard Burton (Major Jonathan Smith), a still fresh-faced Clint Eastwood (Lieutenant Morris Schaffer), and the late Mary Ure (Mary Elison). Parachuted into the German Alps, they have one day to rescue an American general held in an apparently impregnable mountaintop fortress. As it turns out, there are about 40 more twists before the story resolves itself, adding some clever spy mechanics to a story that is otherwise an ecstatic, guilt-free orgy of...

Top 10 Movies You Won’t Believe Are Based On True Stories

10.   Ilsa: She Wolf of the SS  Isn’t Just Nonsense If you haven’t seen  Ilsa: She Wolf of the SS , then you’re in luck, because the whole thing’s on  YouTube  for some reason. Keep in mind we’re not actually recommending it (it’s one of the least safe-for-work things that exist, what with the sex, torture and gratuitous Being-A-Nazi), but yeah, it’s all there. And so are its sequels. The titular  Ilsa  is a Nazi “scientist” bent on proving that women can take more punishment than men. Her methods include a lot of torture and nudity — it’s basically the 1970′s version of  Hostel , except even worse. Somehow. The Real Story And yet, it’s based on fact: Ilsa Koch and Irma Grese were female concentration camp guards, going down in history as committing the most mythically horrifying personal atrocities of the Third Reich, which we won’t list here.  Like the fictional Ilsa, both these scientist women used science as a shoddy ex...

Top 10 Movie Franchises of the 2010s

10. Lone Ranger Movies The groans have already started but here us out on this one. The film is backed by Disney. The movie is directed by Gore Verbinski. The stars are Armie Hammer and Johnny Depp. The last time that Disney, Depp, Verbinski as well as an up and coming easy on the eyes star joined forces… the result was Pirates of the Caribbean. While Captain Jack Sparrow might have not had a domestic hit domestically, Pirates 4 was still a billion dollar hit with overseas grosses combined. In addition, Pirates movies were not exactly all the rage before Curse of the Black Pearl either. Debuting next year, the Lone Ranger may ride and ride again. 9. Jupiter Ascending Trilogy The Wachowski Siblings (no longer brothers) are the same team who brought us the Matrix Trilogy. OK, Speed Racer did not exactly go as planned. However, they are back in their element with a post apocalyptic sci fi movie set to debut in 2014. Starring the hot Channing Tatum and the hotter Mila Kun...
