- DirectorPeter JacksonStarsElijah WoodIan McKellenViggo MortensenWhile Frodo and Sam edge closer to Mordor with the help of the shifty Gollum, the divided fellowship makes a stand against Sauron's new ally, Saruman, and his hordes of Isengard.the movie which in my opinion combines the best of the 1st and the 3rd : stirring emotions, grand battle scenes, jaw dropping visual effects
- DirectorQuentin TarantinoStarsUma ThurmanDavid CarradineMichael MadsenThe Bride continues her quest of vengeance against her former boss and lover Bill, the reclusive bouncer Budd, and the treacherous, one-eyed Elle.deserves to be a part of this list on strength of the Superman rambling by Bill alone. also, who other than a true genius could have packed such an emotional and wistful punch in the much-anticipated showdown between the Bride and Bill?
- DirectorQuentin TarantinoStarsUma ThurmanDavid CarradineDaryl HannahAfter awakening from a four-year coma, a former assassin wreaks vengeance on the team of assassins who betrayed her.Quentin Tarantino at the peak of his powers; combining the best he has to offer: wordy ramblings followed by intense action scenes, superb music, innumerable movie references, superb screenplay and editing; a strong narrative.
- DirectorPeter JacksonStarsElijah WoodIan McKellenOrlando BloomA meek Hobbit from the Shire and eight companions set out on a journey to destroy the powerful One Ring and save Middle-earth from the Dark Lord Sauron.the movie that brought respect back to the fantasy genre; the Star Wars of this generation
- DirectorPeter JacksonStarsElijah WoodViggo MortensenIan McKellenGandalf and Aragorn lead the World of Men against Sauron's army to draw his gaze from Frodo and Sam as they approach Mount Doom with the One Ring.what a movie to sign-off the trilogy! with this Jackson sealed the deal on what is the best trilogy in movie history

- DirectorChristopher NolanStarsChristian BaleMichael CaineKen WatanabeAfter witnessing his parents' death, Bruce learns the art of fighting to confront injustice. When he returns to Gotham as Batman, he must stop a secret society that intends to destroy the city.after the unbelievably campy batman productions by joel schumaker; this one is a true return to form for the batman series; giving it the gravitas that it so deserved, and setting the stage for a bigger, better Dark Knight.
- DirectorAlejandro AmenábarStarsNicole KidmanChristopher EcclestonFionnula FlanaganIn 1945, immediately following the end of Second World War, a woman who lives with her two photosensitive children on her darkened old family estate in the Channel Islands becomes convinced that the home is haunted.one of the true, genuinely scary movies; with a neat twist in the end.
- DirectorChristopher NolanStarsChristian BaleHugh JackmanScarlett JohanssonAfter a tragic accident, two stage magicians in 1890s London engage in a battle to create the ultimate illusion while sacrificing everything they have to outwit each other.once again, the genius of Christopher Nolan is on display; as he balances several characters, back stories, reference points, timelines, themes effortlessly to deliver a delightfully twisted and involved movie watching experience.
- DirectorGeorge LucasStarsHayden ChristensenNatalie PortmanEwan McGregorThree years into the Clone Wars, Obi-Wan Kenobi pursues a new threat, while Anakin Skywalker is lured by Chancellor Palpatine into a sinister plot to rule the galaxy.the movie which almost redeemed the 2nd trilogy of the series; after the first 2 disasters.

JacksonHolly HunterWhile trying to lead a quiet suburban life, a family of undercover superheroes are forced into action to save the world.Pixar once again raised the bar set by itself; in terms of everything : animation, story telling, narrative, characters... animation movies have seriously been completely redefined by this gem of a studio.
- DirectorPete DocterBob PetersonStarsEdward AsnerJordan NagaiJohn Ratzenberger78-year-old Carl Fredricksen travels to Paradise Falls in his house equipped with balloons, inadvertently taking a young stowaway.the first 10 minutes montage of the movie packs an emotional wallop that whole movies have never managed to deliver; a truly good movie which can more than hold its own against any movie of any genre.
- DirectorM. Night ShyamalanStarsBruce WillisSamuel L. JacksonRobin WrightA man learns something extraordinary about himself after a devastating accident.Shyamalan followed his universally popular Sixth Sense with this movie; which had a really good build up and twist in the end; and like all good suspense movies; once the twist was revealed; we realise that it was always there, staring right at our faces. builds nicely on the classic comic book tale of good vs evil
- DirectorMary HarronStarsChristian BaleJustin TherouxJosh LucasA wealthy New York City investment banking executive, Patrick Bateman, hides his alternate psychopathic ego from his co-workers and friends as he delves deeper into his violent, hedonistic fantasies.the lines between what is reality and what is not gets increasingly blurred as you reach the end of the movie. but that is not what stays with you. what stays with you is the sight of Christian Bale unleashed; as he calmly severs the head off his colleague; while pointing out the finer points of Phil Collins' music at the same time.
- DirectorJames McTeigueStarsHugo WeavingNatalie PortmanRupert GravesIn a future British dystopian society, a shadowy freedom fighter, known only by the alias of "V", plots to overthrow the tyrannical government - with the help of a young woman.a truimph on all accounts, not the least being Hugo Weaving giving voice to the masked vigilante. the whole atmosphere of a totalitarian regime is captured brilliantly.
- DirectorMel GibsonStarsGerardo TaracenaRaoul Max TrujilloDalia HernándezAs the Mayan kingdom faces its decline, a young man is taken on a perilous journey to a world ruled by fear and oppression.raw, brutal savagery on display; thankfully not 'sanitized' ; hats off to Mel Gibson for seeing through a movie of this nature; one that stands head and shoulders above all the other movies in this list

- DirectorRon HowardStarsRussell CroweEd HarrisJennifer ConnellyA mathematical genius, John Nash made an astonishing discovery early in his career and stood on the brink of international acclaim. But the handsome and arrogant Nash soon found himself on a harrowing journey of self-discovery.I am a sucker for grand endings and emotional speeches. this one had both. and Russell Crowe at the very top of his acting prowess. no wonder, the movie scores!
- DirectorAlexandre AjaStarsCécile de FranceMaïwennPhilippe NahonBest friends Marie and Alexia decide to spend a quiet weekend at Alexia's parents' secluded farmhouse. But on the night of their arrival, the girls' idyllic getaway turns into an endless night of horror."switchblade romance" is what the movie is known by. for that name itself, the movie deserves a place in my list!

- DirectorDanny BoyleStarsCillian MurphyNaomie HarrisChristopher EcclestonFour weeks after a mysterious, incurable virus spreads throughout the UK, a handful of survivors try to find sanctuary.Danny Boyle addressing the zombie movie genre, and as usual, leaving his mark on it. certain scenes stay with you long after the movie; with the highlight scene of the protagonist roaming through the empty streets of London clearly the most memorable.
