Please note: This rating is based on AlloCiné Internet user ratings. Only movies with at least 500 votes were considered in this top.

1-Forrest Gump

Forrest Gump is an American story, from the 1940s to the end of the 20th century, told through the eyes of an unusual, simple and pure human being. From the presidency of Kennedy and Johnson to the Vietnam War, Watergate and other stages, Robert Zemeckis’s six-time Oscar-winning cult film is a humanistic odyssey that has troubled viewers’ hearts for almost three decades.

The whole power of the film, which aims to be both epic and intimate, lies in its touch and attractive, naive and benevolent character, a reasonable witness to the greatest episodes of its country’s history, and the person who interprets it, the mythical Tom Hanks into the history of Oss. For the second time here he won the prize for best actor.

2- The Lord of the Rings: A trilogy

The epic and horrifying search for Frodo, Sam, and the other members of the ring is forever etched in memory: from the possession of a precious item by a young hobbit to the formation of a mythical group united to destroy an evil object. Whoever wants to find him, the great disproportionate battles that we will never forget, the Lord of the Rings struck hard, we can not deny it.

The brave Peter Jackson played a crazy gamble here: he successfully traded J.R.R. Because yes, The Lord of the Rings is a saga of a whole generation that has revolutionized the fantasy genre and changed everything in the world of special effects. The trilogy combines at least 17 Oscars, including The Return of 11 Kings, thus becoming one of the films to have won the most statues with Ben Hur and the Titanic. Without a doubt, here you are dealing with one of the greatest cinematic experiences of all time, to see or just to see again.

3- The Dark Knight

This is the most famous superhero film that has united critics and viewers and will remain a reference for all Batman productions: of course, we are talking about the Dark Knight, the second part of the trilogy that has had a strong impact. A genius (his trademark), Christopher Nolan chose realism as one of the most beloved heroes of pop culture. I mean the dark world and difficult political climate in which the little-known and full of doubts Batman develops.

The atmosphere is heavy, the bets are vital, the suspension unbearable and the action unleashed: a spectacle to see, it has not already been done, or a re-enactment for enthusiasts, if only for a rewarding performance. Heath Ledger and his scary joker became a myth.

4- Once in America

Once Upon a Time in America there is a story about the return of Noodles to New York, thirty years after living there. There he recalls his past as a gangster at the time of the ban – nostalgia and regret too – be it his friends and the illicit trade in alcohol that made them famous, or his sad childhood love. But, above all, this is the last film of the giant Sergio Leone, which Robert De Niro carries on his peak, a dense and melancholic mural, the third part of the mythical trilogy dedicated to key periods in American history.

Once in the West and Once After the Revolution, Once Upon a Time in America, there is a long walk that tells the story of 40 years of human life, a complex, rich and beautiful history of working on controlled products and orderly writing. The need for cinema Yes, one of the most beautiful films in the world too.

5- Gladiator

The Gladiator emblem of the 2000s is the emblem of a whole generation dedicated to Russell Crowe – he was nominated for the most well-deserved Oscar – equally excellent against Joaquin Phoenix, in the skin of a brutal character like never before. The authentic, daring and grand film tells the thrilling story of the Roman general Maximus on the way to the successor of Emperor Marcus Aurelius.

But things get complicated: the latter is killed by his son Commodus, who also attacks the general and his family. The only survivor of this massacre: the destroyed Maximus, now a slave and a gladiator with the sole purpose of surviving revenge. Ridley Scott’s critically acclaimed, publicly acclaimed cult film has everything epic and has five Oscars to prove it. And among them, the best film: Everything is said.

6- Interstellar

What happens when several researchers decide to overcome a newly discovered space-time rift in search of a living planet to save a dying humanity on Earth? This gives Interstellar, an interesting and researched masterpiece of science fiction that we have not finished talking about. And if that’s all you find difficult, know that it’s true!

But he is also visually grand and ambitious with the script, rhythmically breathless and finally, brilliantly inventive, a real race against the cosmic clock that we continue to question that leaves confused and submissive: we have no less expectations from Christopher Nolan. Do not miss this monument of the big screen and make the most of this spectacular journey through space and time.

7- Fighters Club

Fight Club immerses us in the heart of the narrator’s monotonous and repetitive life, without any real identity, living, working, eating and sleeping alone. A sleepless soap maker, he will soon become a member of the Underground Fight Club, run by the philosopher anarchist who will change his life. Satire of today’s consumer society, David Fincher’s famous psychological thriller is a dark and disturbing, horrifying and silly film that shocks and hypnotizes, evokes thoughts, evokes fear and at the same time captivates.

If his screenplay is brilliant with madness and his production and photography are simply exalted, we do not observe the excellent performances of Edward Norton and Brad Pitt, who will never stop settling in you. Realistic and anti-conformist, do not miss this cult film, which has its share of surprises in store for you.
