Top 10 Best Movies
Below is the list of my personal favorite Top 10 Best Movies.
# 10. Pirates Of Carribean Series
Prepare to be blown out of the water.
Description :-
If Marlon Brando was the person who Introduced Method acting in Hollywood then Johnny Depp is the one who truly follows him and raised the standard of Method acting from his portrayal of Legendary Captain Jack Sparrow.The biggest reason behind the success of POTC is Depp's acting.Though the plot,cinematography,Soundtrack and supporting characters did well too but Depp alone takes the film to the peak of Success.The film series become one of the highest grossing film series of All time.I don't think there is any other actor who would have portrayed Captain Jack Sparrow as excellently as Johnny Depp.This Disney's action adventure film series is expected to expand into 6 parts of which 4 parts has already released.

# 3. The Matrix Trilogy
The Future isn't user friendly...
Description :-
Its hard to put The Matrix in one genre.It is equally 'best sci fi' and 'best action' movie ever made.I bet most of you agree with that.Reason being that 'The Matrix' set a new standard for future sci fi and action movies.As for sci fi movies 'The Matrix' is known for inventing 'Bullet Time' technique where several still picture camera (not the motion picture camera) are used.The combined effect of single pictures taken by those cameras from different angles gives the viewer an idea that the camera is moving at normal speed but you are watching action scenes at real slow speed.As for Action movies,'The Matrix' re invented the use of Martial arts in action movies (which was not used that much after the death of Bruce Lee). Many future action movies relied on Martial arts solely for action sequences.Many scenes from 'The Matrix' are copied every now and then in different action movies.

# 2. Lord Of The Rings
Fate Has Chosen Him. A Fellowship Will Protect Him. Evil Will Hunt Them.
Description :-
The trilogy that re defined the fantasy genre.J.R.R. Tolkein best selling fantasy novels were adapted to movies before too.But Peter Jackson's version of Lord of the rings is best and greatest.The trilogy is 12 hours long but i bet most of you can watch it continuously without a break.The magical world of L.O.T.R. hypnotize you and there is not a single second in the trilogy when you get bore and feel like you've had enough.LOTR is every human's fantasy,a world where war between Good and evil is at peak.A hobbit not so intelligent,not so powerful (just like most of us) is given the biggest responsibility to destroy the powerful evil ring of Satan.Every character is familiar,every scene is iconic,every moment is adventurous.Its like a story to which every one of us wants to be a part.Hats off to Peter Jackson whose 8 years continuous hard work and effort created such a beautiful epic saga.
