Today I’m sharing 5 movies worth watching. All of the films are simply splendid, some of the best I’ve seen. A much watch list, if you will. No-no. AN ABSOLUTELY MUST WATCH!!! Yep, all caps and a bunch of exclamation points. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
Roger Ebert put it best when he said, “Art is the closest we can come to understanding how a stranger really feels”. Couldn’t be more true when it comes to the list I’ve put together.
I’m recommending these movies because each and every one of them is incredibly authentic, deeply insightful, heart-wrenching at times, and oh-so-revealing. They are the kind of movies that are capable of bringing out the best of your humanity, keep you connected, grounded and compassionate.
Every single one is incredibly sensual yet brave, gently capturing little heartwarming details while not shying away from vulnerable scenes and conversations. Clear and relatable yet nuanced and figurative in just the right moments. And most of all, atmospheric. While watching them you’ll be completely immersed in a different reality and feel everything for yourself. And that’s what they all have in common.
Here’s the list in no particular order:
1. Lion

2. Call me by your name

3. 20th century women

4. Moonlight

5. Green book

All I ask of you is to watch them with an open mind and heart. Take it all in and let yourself live through the experience.
Enjoy!
