Shawn's Favorite Movies
Titanic
PG-13
A must see! The highest grossing box office film of all time and winner of 11 Academy Awards. This film captures the heart and soul of the real life story of the most famous shipwreck of all time set against the backdrop of a fictional love story that is so fitting and touching that it might as well be real . Phenomenal not only in it's attention to detail in every regard but also in it's engaging love story, it's incredible vision and it's larger-than-life effect on those who have seen this magnificant cinematic masterpiece. One of director James Cameron's shining moments. The film, like the story it represents will forever go down in history. One of my most respected films and one of my top 7 absolute favourite movies of all time.
The Matrix
R
A must see for sci-fi/action fans! Once in a very long time a film comes along that raises the bar for all others to follow. The Matrix is such a film. Utilizing never-before-seen visual cinematic techniques such as "Bullet time" it allows the story to unfold in new ways. The story is multi-faceted and multi-dimensional requiring the viewer to think which is uncommon among sci-fi/action films. It's brilliant story concept incorporates various philosophies and concepts which are just as interestingly done as the mind-blowing visuals and special FX. This film can be understood on it's own but is best understood as part of the The Matrix trilogy. One of my most respected films and one of my top 7 absolute favourite movies of all time.
