Best Five Movies I Like

 I really like to watch movies, but most of the movies that I watch are really not good at all. Only some of the movies were worth watching in my opinion and so I have created this list so that you do not waste your time watching a bad, horrible, awful, or even just average movie ever again and you can start watching great movies that will leave you speechless at how awesome it is.

5. The Boondock Saints
The Boondock Saints is a movie directed and written by Troy Duffy. The movie is about two Irish brothers who get a message from God to go out and kill all the sinful people in the world. Most of the movie is the brothers killing some bad guys and then detectives going through the crime scene. But that is what makes this movie so beautiful. There is tons of blood and awesome gun battles. While the story is nice it is not the best I have seen from a movie but how can you not like a movie about Irish dudes gunning down rapists and mob leaders.

4. V for Vendetta
V for Vendetta is about a young woman named Evey Hammond who is just a normal woman living in London until she is rescued by a masked freedom fighter named “V”. It tells of their story together and how they are fighting the corrupt government. This movie has lots of fighting (mostly of “V” owning everyone in his path) but it is the powerful story and the intense push for the good guys to win that makes this movie an instant classic. This movie was released in late 2005 and is the newest movie on this list.

3. Se7en
I like Se7en a lot because it is like CSI but with much better actors and is darker and way more entertaining. Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt star in Se7en and even though they sound like an unlikely pair they actually make a pretty incredible team. The ending is genius and it tied neatly in with the title and the events that happened earlier in the movie. Overall Se7en was a disturbingly great detective movie with top-notch acting. 

2. Fight Club
Fight Club came out in 1999 and stars Edward Norton and Brad Pitt. Edward plays an average man who has a “white-collar” job that he is discontent with. He then creates a fight club with Brad Pitt. I loved the voice-overs from Edward Norton’s character in this movie and also the social satire that really makes you think about what job you have and how you are living your life.

1. The Shawshank Redemption
This movie is the greatest film ever. The Shawshank Redemption is about a man named Andy who is wrongly accused of killing his wife and goes to jail for life. In jail he meets a man named Red who then become good friends. The rest of the movie focuses on these two people and everything that happens to them in prison. The best part of this movie are the inspirational talks that Andy has with Red about freedom and hope and other such things. Andy has integrity in this prison while he is surround by people with little or no integrity. It is a mind-blowingly well told story that has twists and turns and will leave you drooling by the end.
