This particular movie from Steven Spielberg has captured everybody's imagination, they couldn't believe it as this was made in the 90's, 1993 to be precise. It was a feast to the eyes with a plethora of Computer Generated Images (CGI) of the long lost reptiles and mammals. More importantly this fiction thriller flick inflicted a long and lasting love for movies in me as well as compels me to become a movie director one day.
That's what JURASSIC PARK did to me.
Oh, the movie went on to win three Oscars, 19 other wins and another 15 nominations.
What a movie to be inspired at huh.

| A 1993 Masterpiece by Steven Spielberg |
* This and another four movies down below are the ones that managed to captivate me. They're not necessarily visually stunning, have good plot lines, filled with star studded cast or with an Oscar nominated director at the helm but they tend to excite me with their action, suspense, thrill, eye catching moments, love story and most importantly, they never bore me even when I have watched them over and over again. So please, stick with me.
THE TERMINAL
This 2004 comedy-drama movie from Steven Spielberg depicts a man, Viktor Navorski (Tom Hanks), who's trapped in a terminal at JFK International Airport when he was denied access to the United States as his country, a fictitious Krakhozia was under a revolution. On his stay there, he met a stewardess Amelia Warren played by Catherine Zeta Jones and love ensues among other funny incidents from the 'residents' of the airport.

The movie actually received mixed reviews from film critics but in my own opinion, it's good...really good in fact, at least in my book. It has love, drama, comedy and moral values and one of them is keeping a promise and try to fulfill it. It was simple but fitting nonetheless. Tom Hanks as a Krakhozian, even though it's not a country that exist but he was convincing in portraying his character. His love interest, Catherine Zeta Jones looked stunning in this movie and she complements that with her acting, which always gets a thumbs up from me. On top of that, the funny scenes in this movie really made me chuckle. That, accompanied with some dramatic moments really made this movie one of the best in my life. I never get tired of it.
TRANSFORMERS
Extraterrestrials from a planet called Cybertron came down to Earth and wreak havoc in order to regain the AllSpark, a cube which creates life. This 2007 movie from Michael Bay aka Bayhem was a pure action and adrenaline pumping movie and a good one at that too in my opinion as it managed to fulfill all my childhood dreams come true. I grew up watching the cartoon and seeing Optimus Prime and his fellow Autobots battling it out with the Decepticons in downtown LA was breathtaking. It is how exactly how I imagined it, except cooler. Explosions, destructions, transforming robots and Megan Fox really made this movie one of my favourite and it actually left me in awe...and unleashed the kid in me.
The main premise of the movie is fairly simple and easy. A cube from the planet Cybertron known as AllSpark crashed down on Earth. Thus, two Cybertronian factions, The Autobots and The Decepticons came down to Earth to scour for the cube. They eventually found out that the clue to the power was held by a teenage boy (Shia LeBeouf) thus chaos ensued.

MEET JOE BLACK
A media mogul acts as a guide to Death who takes the form of a man in order to learn more about life on Earth. The twist is, he fell in love with his guider's daughter.
This is a 1998 romantic/fantasy film directed by Martin Brest. Brad Pitt played Death, Anthony Hopkins was the billionaire Bill Parish and Claire Forlani as his daughter, Susan and the object of affection of Death himself.

| I want to be Death |
Now, what can I say about this movie. It's just perfect..a perfect romantic movie for those who are in love in my opinion. No other romantic movies can match this masterpiece for the fact that it has Death in it. Not only that, the movie had two very good actors as well...Anthony Hopkins and Brad Pitt. A combination made in Heaven in my opinion. Furthermore, a young Brad Pitt as Death can really melt the hearts of every woman out there. He managed to make Claire Forlani falls hard on her knees. So why can't you (this is meant for female)? Who could have imagined that Death would be this sexy? Even my mind was wandering of the possibility of me becoming a suave Death as Brad Pitt when I watched this movie for the first time, I was 12 mind you. I'm not saying that I adore Brad Pitt but I think he's a good choice to portray a good looking Death. Anthony Hopkins also put in a remarkable performance as he did for so many times in his movies.
SIGNS
What would you do if you find a crop circle in your cornfield? Would you panic and make a run for it? Or would you be amazed on the creativity of it?? Or perhaps you would wonder, is this human work after all? That's the premise or purpose of this movie, how would you react when these things happen.
As you may or may not know, this 2002 movie from M. Night Shyamalan tells a story of a family who lives in a farm and one day they find a mysterious crop circles in their cornfield. The cast of the movie are Mel Gibson, Joaquin Phoenix as the brother of Graham, Merrill Hess, Rory Culkin as the son, Morgan Hess and Abigail Breslin as Bo Hess, the daughter of Graham.
This movie garnered a lot of positive reviews from various movie critics and it definitely get a two thumbs up from me. One of the most memorable moments from the movie would be when Graham heard a noise in his cornfield one night and he immediately grabbed a torchlight and went in to the cornfield but to his disappointment he found nothing. As he was on his way back to his house that weird sound or voice came out from a nearby area and he was startled and dropped his torchlight, he shook and knocked it but when it came on again he saw a leg in the nearby crop and immediately made a run for it. Now that scene really send chills to my bones to this very day.
* Now these are the five movies that I really love but there are many more actually but I didn't really have the time to list them all out.
