Ten day Challenge.Post 8. Three movies.

This post is a part of the ten day challenge I started .here.

  For a  huge movie aficionado like me (though I do not claim to be an expert in this field at all!), asking me to choose just three movies is like taking a child to a 10,000 square feet candy store filled with all the imaginable shapes and sizes of colourful, sweet, mouthwatering candies with a variety of flavours and then telling the child that it can choose just one out of these millions of sweets displayed!
I truly found it very very hard to pick just three.There are so many brilliant movies out there ..Life is beautiful is a must watch but I think everyone would have seen it and heard of it (if you haven't, click on the title). I am also not picking 'cult movies' like Matrix, Inception, Fight Club etc.  So I am picking three other movies which I absoutlely loved for what I could take away from them. (okay I picked four!) .

1.Shawshank Redemption

This is  an all time classic. I think everybody would have heard and watched this one too. It's tagline 'Fear can hold you prisoner, hope can set you free' is totally brilliant. I was really inspired after I watched this movie. It is a feeling hard to explain. I was exalted, I was 'wow', I was amazed, speechless and it made me so enthused and so full of spirit. It made me believe that with persistence anything is indeed possible. Watch this movie if you haven't. (Its not suitable for kids). Here is the Trailer.




2.The Bucket List

Sometime back I had gifted this movie to one of my good friends. This is a tale of living life to the fullest and of deep and true bonds that we form and how TRUE friendships can be found in the unlikeliest of places between people who are so different from each other. I loved this movie.



3.Bridge toTerabithia

This  movie just proves Einstien's words--"Imagination is more important than knowledge".This is again a movie of deep friendships. It is one of my all time favourite  movies.



3 :)  Brokeback Mountain

I strongly believe in Gay rights.Each person has a complete right to their own sexuality. I hate how some Bollywood movies ridicule Gays. How crude and insensitive! I am  extremely happy that the DNA newspaper has started an entire page for LGBT articles. I hate how it is still illegal in some countries. I strongly believe that anything is okay between two consenting adults. They do know to live their lives --the law has no business peering into their bedrooms and telling them what is okay and what is not as long as it is between two consenting adults.

This movie stayed with me for very long after I saw it. It is a deep, powerful and moving story--but it is not for everybody. I loved this movie too.

Have you seen any of the above? If you are doing this tag, please do leave me a link. I love to learn about good movies (and what made an impact about that movie on you) and recommendations are always welcome!
