90s: Pulp Fiction

00s: Lord Of The Rings

10s: The Judge

And I would say that the Lord Of the Rings is the best one, and I know that a lot of other people would agree. So to say, I saw this movie for the first time when I was 11 and since then it’s my favorite movie. I would never choose another one as my favorite. Remember, I was crying when Boromir died, it was my favorite character from the Lord of The Rings fellowship. And I was so interested about this character and I started to search for the information about him, I was looking for more information about this interesting character. So, I was lucky enough to find some additional Boromir Biographical info. It was so interesting to read this information about him, because there was much more interesting facts I have never known before. I would recommend you to read this information too, maybe you will find something interesting for you too

I think it’s helped by having so much going for it. It’s got great balance drama and humor. If you prefer a pure hero as the protagonist, then there’s McDormand, but if you like a more villainous main character, you have Macy. It has many dark moments, but it still manages to be a likable film. It’s just one of those films that has something for everybody. The fact that it’s not long also makes it easy to tune into. There’s been multiple times where I’ve come across it on TV and been able to easily slip into it, something that can’t be said for every film.

30s: The Wizard of Oz

40s: It’s a Wonderful Life

50s: A Streetcar Named Desire

60s: Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

70s: The Godfather

80s: The Empire Strikes Back

90s: The Shawshank Redemption

00s: The Dark Knight

10s: Mad Max: Fury Road

Hard picks, I can definitely imagine some of them being different depending on the day. For The Dark Knight, it was between that and Return of the King, but I went with Dark Knight because I find that I can enjoy it more as a solo film while all the Lord of the Rings films are so connected, it’s a bit harder to single one out from the rest, and I don’t want to cheat by including a trilogy among singular films.

There are some films that it kind of hurt to not include.
