The Most Popular best movies to watch

 If you're trying to dedicate your life to the wonderful cause of watching incredible movies all the time and doing nothing else with your life, you've come to the right place. Sometimes it's hard to decide what to watch, so we've made it really easy for you. You're welcome.

Bohemian Rhapsody (2018)

This film won more than just Best Picture at the Golden Globes, it won an entire generation. If you weren't a Queen fan before (first of all, how dare you), you are now. Rami Malek is literally so close to Freddie Mercury that it left us all half confused and quite jealous. Who wouldn't want to work on stage like Freddie?! (Not our friends, that's for sure.) Screening at Sandown Park Racecourse drive-in.

Apocalypse Now (1979)

This war epic starring Martin Sheen, Marlon Brando and Robert Duvall (faint, much?) follows Captain Benjamin L. Willard as he embarks on a secret mission to kill a suspected mad traitor. Widely known for the problems encountered during production - including an overweight and unprepared Brando (ditto), Sheen's near-fatal heart attack on set, and the destruction of expensive sets due to inclement weather.

Vertigo (1958)

Some might say that Vertigo is about some guy who is afraid of heights. But we are classy. It is about a detective who is afraid of heights. Basically, he's obsessed with his friend's wife, who has more than a few tricks up her sleeve. Just when you think you know what's going on, you don't. The suspense will kill you and you won't be able to look away as John 'Scottie' Ferguson descends into madness.

 One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975)

Based on the novel by Ken Kesey, this film is considered one of the greatest films of all time. He won five major Oscars, numerous Golden Globes and a BAFTA. But it doesn't really matter. What matters is us and we're telling you to watch it. It is the story of Randle McMurphy, who, despite not being mentally ill, is moved from prison to a mental institution. McMurphy ends up leading a revolution and begins planning an escape. It's not going well.

 

2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)

After traveling to Jupiter with Hal, a sentient computer (you know, like that one episode of Futurama where Bender ends up with a spaceship), after a black monolith affecting human evolution is discovered. The film deals with technology, artificial intelligence, extraterrestrial life (we know you're out there, aliens) and existentialism, and is often noted for its scientific accuracy, groundbreaking SFX and mysterious imagery. If you think you're ready for this, you're not.

La La Land (2016)

And people thought they didn't make them like that anymore. It is clear that it is. Immerse yourself in this famous musical where two struggling stars dedicate every second to make it big. In no time you will be dancing in your seat, singing along and being very emotional. La La Land may have won Best Picture at the Oscars by accident, but it has earned a real place in our hearts. #Emosh Screening at Brent Cross Shopping Centre

Sorry to Bother You (2018)

Lakeith Stanfield could NEVER molest us and neither could Tessa Thompson. Some people are too hot for this universe, and when you put them right next to each other, it's Sorry to Bother You almost... too strong. Like, we're weak AF already from how insanely creative (we're talking moving walls and floors) and funny, why does he have to do this to us? The premise is one we can all relate to - Cassius is just trying to get some moolah and is willing to do pretty much anything to get it. #WeFeelYou

The Alien (1979)

Ridley Scott's sci-fi horror follows the crew of a spaceship being chased to the death by a highly aggressive alien creature (see? We said we know you're out there...) and kicked off the Alien franchise. The original film was met with huge critical acclaim and theatrical success, winning several awards and being considered one of the best films of the year. We're not going to lie, this movie is pretty rough. But it's the good kind of gross. The type of gross you need in your life.

The Shawshank Redemption (1994)

Adapted from the apparently limitless mind of Stephen King, the American drama follows Andy Dufresne, a banker who, despite pleading not guilty, is sentenced to life in Shawshank Prison for the murder of his wife and her lover. Befriending fellow inmate 'Red', he finds himself protected by the guards when they start using him to help launder money. This movie will leave you feeling for about a week.

The Breakfast Club (1985)

This coming-of-age comedy is one of the best high school movies of all time. At all. The story follows five teenagers who are all brought together on a Saturday in detention as they realize there is more to them than just their cliques. It's a little too real for words, whoever you are, you will identify with SOMEONE. Everything about this movie is iconic and the whole world starts to make more sense once you watch it. So go watch it. Screening at Roof East.

Moonlight (2016)

Excuse us while we cry. This movie puts 'BEAU' in 'beautiful'. It follows the story of a young man growing up in a rough neighborhood of Miami and how the realization of his sexuality strains his relationships with people and affects his daily life. Moonlight is a moving award-winner with a soundtrack that will surprise you – its use of 'chopped and screwed' music is unique and #DaBomb (seriously, you'll feel it in your soul). This movie is seriously exciting and we wouldn't have it any other way.
