Some of the greatest movies of all time

Luke Skywalker joins forces with a Jedi Knight, a cocky pilot, a wookiee and two droids to save the universe from the Empire’s world-destroying battle-station, while also attempting to rescue Princess Leia from the evil Darth Vader.

Archeologist and adventurer Indiana Jones is hired by the US government to find the Ark of the Covenant before the Nazis.

The lives of two mob hit men, a boxer, a gangster’s wife, and a pair of diner bandits intertwine in four tales of violence and redemption

Henry Hill and his friends work their way up through the mob hierarchy.

Humanity finds a mysterious, obviously artificial, object buried beneath the Lunar surface and, with the intelligent computer H.A.L. 9000, sets off on a quest.

Forrest Gump, while not intelligent, has accidentally been present at many historic moments, but his true love, Jenny Curran, eludes him.

A dissenting juror in a murder trial slowly manages to convince the others that the case is not as obviously clear as it seemed in court.

Two imprisoned men bond over a number of years, finding solace and eventual redemption through acts of common decency.

Set in unoccupied Africa during the early days of World War II: An American expatriate meets a former lover, with unforeseen complications.

The aging patriarch of an organized crime dynasty transfers control of his clandestine empire to his reluctant son

Upon admittance to a mental institution, a brash rebel rallies the patients to take on the oppressive head nurse.

A manipulative Southern belle carries on a turbulent affair with a blockade runner during the American Civil War.

In Poland during World War II, Oskar Schindler gradually becomes concerned for his Jewish workforce after witnessing their persecution by the Nazis.

This is only a small part of some really memorable and good movies. Really, it is all about taste in cinema. If you are an adventure lover, then definitely watch Raiders of the Lost Ark, this movie will blow your brains. However, if you prefer gangster and criminal movies, then give a glance at The Godfather, Goodfellas or  Pulp Fiction. Crimes, shooting, money and beautiful women – what more can you want. Quite exciting movies with a brilliant cast of actors, playing in them. Of course, to the romantic lovers I would suggest  Casablanca or Gone with the Wind . There you can behold a true love story in times of war. Furthermore, to all who recognize themselves in the motto “Space is the final frontier”, I’d recommend either 2001: A Space Odyssey or my  personal favorite –  Star Wars. If you’re keen on history watch  Schindler’s List you won’t regret it. The movie recreates a period during World War II and is based on a real story.
