10. American Beauty
The story tells of a man with his father's unsatisfied ambitions. The hero has a middle-aged crisis, and here he decides on a gamble, falling in love with his girlfriend's girlfriend.
The drama received as many as 5 cherished Oscars, so it is definitely worth a look: gloomy, but witty enough.
It is noteworthy that the main actor of the film Kevin Spacey in the same period experienced a decline in his career amid the fact that he was accused of sexual violence. Karma? Hints of the universe?
9. Mulholland Drive
The master of surrealism, David Lynch, decided to penetrate the subconscious mind of the viewer and extract the most unexpected injuries, and sometimes nightmares, from there. At the peak of his talent, the director filmed Mulholland Drive, which in its plot resembles a very deep and restless dream.
The film tells about the actress Betty, who had just arrived in Hollywood and discovered an incomprehensible story of a brunette who lost her memory. Many popular culture films are Betty's real dream.
The director is trying to convey through the plot the darkest and most vile machinations of Hollywood, accompanying ideas with quality music. The Air Force called the film one of the greatest films of the century.
8. Magnolia
Expensive (37 million "greens") chic film about various unrelated stories within 1 day. The viewer will have as much as 3 hours of pleasure - he will be able to appreciate the chic scenery and deeply revealed personality of the characters.
The story is seasoned with something supernatural and fatal so that a real mosaic is formed in the head of a clerk tired after work.
The film is difficult to understand, however, it keeps the viewer's attention to the end. No wonder he received so many well-deserved awards.
7. Being John Malkovich
Jonza’s creative and slightly careless film earned him the coveted Academy Award for outstanding directing. The author decided to combine dry realism, an exciting personal drama of the character and season this explosive mixture with a beautiful visual picture with stylistic colors.
Charlie Kaufman, who was known for his love of eccentricity, also made a screenwriter of the film. In the film, we learn about a puppeteer who has a secret exit into the consciousness of a famous actor.
Key Hollywood personalities are filmed here, such as Cameron Diaz, John Malkovich, John Cusack and others. The director took a chance and won, as the film took many festival awards.
6. The talented Mr. Ripley
The story tells about the man Tom with great ambitions, but lack of luck. He dreams of a good career when he once meets one of America’s richest businessmen.
He is ready to test Tom Ripley and instructs him to fly to Italy to convince the spender son to return home. The protagonist gets acquainted with the family of a businessman and succumbs to the charm of the life of a rich man.
And then the cards are folded so that Ripley already wants to take the place of his employer ... Intrigue, drama, charm of the main characters - an excellent set for a successful film.
5. Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai
We meet in the frame with a mysterious warrior under the pseudonym "Ghost Dog", who devotes his fate to the ancient laws of honor of Samurai.
The hero faithfully and faithfully serves the owner, who once was able to save his life. Despite the barriers and atrocities, not thinking about the quality of his own life, a lone killer boldly walks along the Path of the Warrior, eliminating the enemies of the master.
But the last one does not shine with nobility and is ready to send the faithful “dog” to an unequal battle with a criminal syndicate.
4. Sixth sense
The film with Bruce Willis turned out so exciting precisely thanks to the charm and talent of the main actor. The plot is twisted so famously that critics considered the film a cultural phenomenon.
At the box office, she raised $ 500 million, and was also nominated for an Oscar 6 times. The main advantage of the film is the ability to find new clues and nuances, each time revising.
The Sixth Sense is a story of grief and pain of loss, difficulties in raising problem children, as well as a bit of powerful science fiction and psychiatry.
3. Fight Club
I can’t even believe that this year’s film is already 20 years old! Controversial plot, toxic brutality and bombastic sexism against a really interesting philosophy of life.
The film raises the most acute and burning topics, such as rampant consumerism, split personality, fascism.
The acting of Norton and Pitt at the highest level - it was she who determined the success of the picture.
2. The matrix
You can not argue about this incredible film - the memories of Neo and Morphius will tell for themselves! How could such crazy special effects be achieved in the late 90s?
And what is the game of the main actors, a complex and deep life story. Yes, the Wachowski brothers worked hard for fame, having invested several semantic series in their masterpiece.
It is not surprising that the Matrix took 4 Oscars and inspired the audience to reflect on what kind of “pill” in their life they are ready to choose.
A science fiction film is passed on to the younger generations. Let's hope that they can appreciate the full depth and educational power of Wachowski's work.
1. The Green Mile
Powerfully completes our list of films, based on the creativity of the acclaimed Stephen King. Darabont perfectly adapted the work to the screen, and even strengthened it with the main actor Tom Hanks.
The film deeply covers the issue of the struggle between good and evil, and the viewer can seriously think about the value of life.
It is interesting that King himself was inspired by the real story - the case of the killer George Stinney, who was executed for the murder of 2 girls. George was justified only posthumously. Intrigued? If you still haven’t seen the Green Mile, then do not postpone a minute!
Let's welcome our anniversaries and recall with nostalgia the best episodes. Let's hope that in the coming years we will be presented with such masterpieces that we will not be ashamed to recall in 20 years.
