Citizen Kane (1941, PG)
Orsen Welles' tale of a wealthy men going from the top of the world to lonlieness is an epic and amazing one. Kane becomes the leading newspaper man in the world but that does not accomplish his dream. He always wants more and is never satisfied. He soon relizes that only thing worse than no life is a hopeless and lonely one. Should have won best picture |

12 Angry Men (Twelve Angry Men) (1957, Unrated)
The battle for a seemingly guilty man is extremely intense. Henry Fonda is a very well-educated and respectable architect who is serving jury duty for a murder case. The whole movie is set in the jury room. 11 of the jurors believe the man is guilty but one man has a reasonable doubt and must convince that the man is innocent. A very intense movie which is also filled with intensity. |

To Kill A Mockingbird (1962, Unrated)
The book is known as one of the best books ever written by any american author. It shows how terrible racism is and the battle to fight for what is right. gergory Peck as Atticus Finch really is the best part of the movie. It also has Robert Duvall's introducing role as Boo. The best courtroom drama and one of the best dramas period is a favorite for anyone. |

The Shawshank Redemption (1994, R)
I believe this is the greatest movie I have ever seen in my life. This is a timeless movie that can be watched countless times and you can still feel the hope and sadness Andy expierences in prison. This movie didn't win one single Oscar, becasue of Forrest Gump which was a good movie but definitely not a timeless one for me Gump has lost its taste a little I believe. |
