These are my #1 movies
Tarantino doesn’t just make movies — he creates experiences. Kill Bill is raw, operatic, violent, absurdly stylish, and somehow, beneath all that, deeply emotional. At the center of this chaos is The Bride, played with laser-focused intensity by Uma ...
Kill Bill: Volume 1
When I first watched The Devil Wears Prada, I expected something light — maybe a few fashion jokes, some workplace drama, a classic “mean boss” narrative. What I didn’t expect was to walk away thinking about ambition, identity, and what it really mea...
The Devil Wears Prada (film)
Speak isn’t an easy movie to watch — and that’s exactly why it’s so important.
I remember watching it for the first time not really knowing what to expect. Kristen Stewart was still early in her career, and I was just looking for a quiet indie film. ...
Speak (2004 film)
Gone Girl shook me in a way I didn’t expect. I went into it thinking I was in for a solid psychological thriller — maybe a murder mystery with some twists — but what I got was a deeply disturbing and razor-sharp look at marriage, media, manipulation,...
Gone Girl (film)
At its core, Fight Club isn’t about fighting. It’s about a deep, aching emptiness — a kind of modern, quiet desperation that’s hard to name. The narrator (played by Edward Norton) is sleepwalking through a corporate life he doesn’t believe in, buying...
Fight Club
I went in knowing it was about excess, greed, and corruption. What I didn’t expect was how much fun it was — and how gross that fun started to feel. Scorsese doesn’t just tell you that Jordan Belfort is a morally bankrupt man. He throws you in the fr...
The Wolf of Wall Street (2013) - IMDb
Watching this movie felt like slipping into a fever dream — glossy, controlled, and just a little too perfect. Christian Bale’s performance as Patrick Bateman is mesmerizing. He plays him with this eerie blend of charm, emptiness, and simmering madne...
American Psycho (film)
Watching Lolita is an experience I don’t take lightly. It’s not a movie I’d recommend casually, not something to “enjoy” in the traditional sense — because it isn’t entertainment. It’s a provocation, an exploration of obsession, manipulation, and the...
Lolita
I went into Gerald’s Game thinking it would be a standard survival thriller — a woman handcuffed to a bed, trying to escape after her husband dies unexpectedly during a kinky getaway. But what I got was something way deeper. It’s not just a physical ...
Gerald's Game (film)
Clueless is one of those movies I can rewatch endlessly — not just because it’s fun, quotable, and fashionably iconic (which it absolutely is), but because underneath all the designer labels and Valley Girl slang, it’s actually a really clever, warm-...
Clueless
Mean Girls isn’t just a teen comedy — it’s a cultural time capsule, a cautionary tale, and somehow, a therapy session for everyone who ever survived high school.
I remember the first time I watched it — I laughed so hard. The writing is razor-sharp, ...
Mean Girls
Legally Blonde is one of those rare movies that manages to be both wildly entertaining and deeply empowering — without ever pretending those two things are at odds. I’ll be honest: the first time I watched it, I expected a light, pink-colored comedy....
Legally Blonde (2001) - IMDb
Watching Black Swan felt like falling into a nightmare I didn’t want to wake up from — and I mean that in the best way. It’s a film that’s gorgeous and haunting in equal measure, the kind that lingers long after the credits roll. I remember sitting i...
Black Swan (film)
Girl, Interrupted is one of those films that sticks with you — not because it’s easy or pretty, but because it’s honest in a way that feels rare and necessary. It’s not a neat story with tidy resolutions; it’s messy, complicated, and heartbreakingly ...
Girl, Interrupted (film)
Detachment is one of those movies that creeps up on you — it’s not flashy or overly dramatic, but it grabs hold with a quiet intensity that lingers. Watching it felt like stepping into a world most of us rarely see up close: the struggles of teachers...
Detachment
I watched 500 Days of Summer expecting a quirky rom-com, but what I got instead was something far more real — and honestly, a little unsettling in the best possible way. It’s not your typical love story, and that’s exactly why it lingers with you.
At...
500 Days of Summer

Some horror movies that kept my attention and had an effect on me!
Fresh completely took me by surprise. What started out feeling like a quirky, modern romantic comedy quickly twisted into something wildly dark, disturbing, and totally unforgettable. It’s one of those movies that sneaks up on you — making you laugh ...
Fresh (2022 film)
The story centers on the arrival of Esther, the mysterious and seemingly perfect little girl adopted by a grieving family. At first, she’s adorable and charming — but very quickly, things start to feel off. What I appreciated is that the film doesn’t...
Orphan (2009 film)
Countdown is one of those modern horror movies that taps right into our tech-obsessed world with a simple but effective premise: an app that tells you exactly when you’re going to die. Watching it felt like a mix of curiosity and creeping dread — the...
Countdown (2019 film)
The movie centers on the disappearance of two teenage girls, Megan and Amy, and it doesn’t shy away from showing the dark realities of online predators and the dangers lurking in seemingly innocent online interactions. It’s brutal and uncomfortable —...
Megan Is Missing (2011) - IMDb
At its core, the film is about a twisted, horrifying experiment, and it doesn’t pull any punches in showing the grotesque consequences. It’s incredibly graphic and uncomfortable to watch — definitely a film that tests your limits. The horror here isn...
The Human Centipede (First Sequence)
Unfriended is a horror movie that truly feels of its time, tapping into the anxieties we all have about technology, social media, and the way our online lives can spiral out of control. Watching it felt like staring into a digital nightmare where you...
Unfriended
What really stayed with me was how the film is structured partly as a courtroom drama, which gives it a unique twist. It’s fascinating to see the clash between science and religion, skepticism and belief, all woven into a narrative that’s as much abo...
The Exorcism of Emily Rose
The Exorcism of Molly Hartley dives into the classic horror theme of possession but sets it against the backdrop of a troubled teenager’s battle with a dark destiny. Watching it felt like a blend of supernatural terror mixed with the struggles of ado...
The Exorcism of Molly Hartley
Watching Old felt like being trapped in a high-stakes puzzle, where every moment counts — quite literally. The tension builds steadily as the characters realize they don’t have the luxury of time, and the film does a great job of showing how fear, de...
Old (film)
Hollow Man is a sci-fi thriller that captivated me with its blend of cutting-edge (for its time) visual effects and a dark exploration of power and morality. The concept of invisibility has been a fascinating trope in storytelling, but this film take...
Hollow Man
On the Count of Three is a deeply affecting indie drama that blends heavy themes with surprisingly sharp humor and heartfelt performances. Watching it felt like being invited into an intimate, messy conversation between two friends facing their darke...
On the Count of Three
3096 Days is one of those truly powerful films that stays with you because of its brutal honesty and emotional depth. It tells the real-life story of Natascha Kampusch, who was kidnapped as a child and held captive for over eight years. Watching it w...
3096 Days
American Mary is a bold and unsettling film that blends body horror with a raw exploration of trauma, empowerment, and revenge. Watching it felt like stepping into a grim, underground world where pain and transformation collide in unexpected ways.
Th...

Hide and Seek is a tense and unsettling Korean thriller that masterfully blends suspense with psychological drama. Watching it felt like being pulled into a dark mystery where every revelation deepened the intrigue and unease.
The story centers on a ...

Movies I found very tragic all in all.
Watching A Walk to Remember felt like stepping into a tender, heartfelt story about young love, personal growth, and the power of faith. What really touched me was how the film takes a seemingly simple teenage romance and turns it into something deep...
A Walk to Remember
Watching Baby Driver felt like slipping into a perfect blend of adrenaline-pumping action and a heartfelt coming-of-age story. What truly sets this film apart is how seamlessly it marries thrilling car chases with an incredible soundtrack that feels ...
