10 Best Movies To Make A Lasting Impact

Do you want to watch a movie that you will keep forever? This is a helpful guide to help you navigate the best movies you don't want to miss out on.
  1. Citizens Kane "What's extraordinary about Kane — the pure transforming joy of innovation — is here in every shot, every performance, and every narrative surge," critics observed.
  2. The Godfather "With a beauty that is yet fresh, The Godfather traces the arc of this tragic idealism."
  3. Rear Window "In reality, there is never a moment when Director Hitchcock is not in command of his material: script, camera, cutting, props, the magnificent set built from his ideas, and the stars he has hitched to his vehicle."
  4. Casablanca "The dialogue is so sparse and caustic that it hasn't become stale. Much of Casablanca's emotional impact is achieved by indirection; when we leave the theater, we are sure that the only thing stopping the world from going insane is the fact that the troubles of three small people are worth more than a hill of beans."
  5. Boyhood "Occasionally, a film appears to channel the flow of real life. One of those times is adolescence. Richard Linklater's delightful epic is not only exceptional but unusual in its ambition, which is matched by its execution."
  6. Three Colors: Red "It's a picture with a lot of heart, and it's a far cry from sophisticated European pap. However, the exterior brilliance of its creation can sometimes subvert its inner workings, as if its creation and meaning were not perfectly in sync."
  7. Vertigo "Many Hitchcock fans consider it to be his most accomplished film, as it is the best sexual suspense drama ever filmed. It's unquestionably his most despondent, as well as his most captivating."
  8. Notorius "In Alfred Hitchcock's Notorious, a black-velvet biocide brimming with notes of tabloid titillation, spy-versus-spy nonsense, and romance as rotten as a half-eaten Granny Smith left out in the summer sun, love is a dark, corroded obsession." Slant
  9. Singin in the Rain "Escapism elevated towards the level of art, Singin' In The Rain imitates the filmmaking process' delusion while commemorating their life-affirming joy." — The AV Club
  10. City Lights "The Tramp in City Lights has integrity and foolishness, and everyone in between."
