“Obsession”

We're crazy about cute Miles Teller (32)! And this is one of his best works – the story of a young drummer who craves fame. You watch this film from beginning to end in one breath, and your palms are already sweating from the exertion. By the way, an interesting fact – in the film, Miles's hero will get into a car accident, and six years before that the actor himself was in exactly the same accident (it was then that scars appeared on the star's face, which he decided not to mask).

“Pazman Devil”

Did we mention that you're crazy about Miles Teller? Be sure to watch this film about one of the most outstanding boxers, who was nicknamed the Pazman Devil (a real story, by the way). His career was at its peak when he broke his neck and doctors said he would no longer walk. But Vinnie himself did not think so. The picture will appeal not only to your boyfriend (the battles here are very intense), but also to you – the scriptwriters did not forget about the love line, and the makeup artists did a great job on the characters' outfits.

“Hidden Figures”

If you liked “The Servant” and “Green Book”, then you will definitely appreciate this film too. A team of African-American women are doing the maths for NASA (and this at the time of segregation!), Which are necessary to launch the first space mission. The picture, by the way, is based on real events, and the rating of the project on “Kinopoisk” is 97%.

“Miracle”

The script for the film is based on the New York Times bestseller of the same name by writer RJ Palacio. This is a very touching story about a boy named August who underwent about 30 facial surgeries due to a genetic error. And so, his mother (Julia Roberts (51), by the way) takes him to school for the first time. Stock up on handkerchiefs, because you will sob without stopping!

Forrest Gamp

“Life is like a box of chocolates – you never know which one you pull out.” Such worldly wisdom was taught by the main character's mother, and the amazing life of Forrest (Tom Hanks) is a vivid proof that it is so.

You can say that it is simply impossible – for a mentally retarded guy to become a war hero, bare his fifth point in front of one president and provoke the resignation of another, become fabulously rich and run for three years without stopping.

We will answer that “Forrest Gump” does not pretend to be realistic, it is about something completely different. About what? But we propose to answer this question on your own after watching – for sure you will have more than one (or even ten) answers.

“Requiem for a Dream”

A shivering picture of how drugs literally trample the fate of people, killing all dreams: about love and a bright future, success, career and recognition.

The main characters – a mother, her son (Jared Leto), his friends and girlfriend ((Jennifer Connelly) live in front of the audience for three seasons: summer, autumn and winter, during which growing addiction turns their lives into a real hell. but it's impossible to tear yourself away, as well as forgetting the soundtrack to a movie, which is stronger than social videos about the dangers of drugs.

“The smell of a woman”

Shot from the film “The Smell of a Woman”

Exciting films in one breath come in a wide variety of genres and moods. For example, “The Smell of a Woman” is a drama. Moreover, the drama of two very different men – a blind and harsh lieutenant colonel (Al Pacino), who is preparing to commit suicide, and a poor but smart boy (Chris O'Donnell), facing a difficult moral choice.

There is absolutely nothing in common between the main characters, except for the need to spend several days together, but in the end it turns out that they really need each other. How can two people who are burdened by each other's company, in the end, can solve the seemingly insoluble problems of a companion who at first did not care, and become friends? The film will tell you about it.

“Flying over Cuckoo's Nest”

Still from the movie “One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest”

The film adaptation of Ken Kesey's novel became a classic immediately after its release (it became the second film to receive five Oscars in the most prestigious nominations at once) and after 45 years it continues to be watched by viewers in one breath.

The action takes place in a psychiatric hospital, where the willful criminal simulator Randle Patrick McMurphy (Jack Nicholson) is sent for examination. Unwilling to come to terms with the very strict and somewhat cruel routine of head nurse Mildred Ratched, Randall tries to rebel and inspire other patients with his example.

Brilliant acting, an unusual and deep story and a shocking ending – we are sure that after watching you will hardly regret the time spent on this film.

A Clockwork Orange

Freedom of choice, morality, satire on the state and ultraviolence in this film caused a real scandal after its release in the 70s, and then made “A Clockwork Orange” a cult film, recommended for viewing to everyone who wants to completely immerse themselves in the atmosphere of what is happening and sincerely enjoy the opportunity leave it.

The tape tells about the criminal Alex (Malcolm McDowell), who agreed to undergo innovative therapy designed to “heal” him of his criminal inclinations. But is it really possible to change human nature?

Explicit sex scenes, overwhelming violence, a charismatic villain who has become an inspiration for young criminals, endless discussions about whether this film is immoral or genius, turned “A Clockwork Orange” into something that looks like a breeze.

“Fight club”

We are all constantly told how important it is to get out of our comfort zone, but few did it as radically as the main character of this film (Edward Norton). He is such a typical man in the street that he doesn't even have a name. But there is insomnia and a feeling of emptiness and satiety with their arranged life, full of useless junk.

How to live on is not clear, but, fortunately, he meets his complete opposite – Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt), who pushes him to radically change his lifestyle and constantly push the boundaries of what is permitted. And everything will end in a completely unpredictable way, so suddenly realizing that more than two hours have passed since the start of viewing, you will most likely say “wow”.

Fifty Shades of Gray, 2017

Despite this rating, the tale of a simple girl from a poor family who won the heart of a millionaire still evokes emotions in romantic people.
