I’m someone that watches movies over the weekend. I watch them for fun and joy. I have had HBO Max since last year because of the hype around it and the amount of interesting movies that are in their library. The movies selected are based on my opinion. I dug out some of HBO Max’s best movies and listed them from best to least based on the movie’s plot.
The Dark Knight (2008)
If you are looking for a good action-thriller film that is based on a superhero, this is for you. In this movie, the menace known as the Joker wreaks chaos on the people of Gotham. Batman has to go through one of the greatest psychological and physical obstacles of his ability to defeat injustice. This movie has so many action scenes and has some of the most memorable dialogue in 21st- century cinema. This movie is thrilling in many ways and a good start to your weekend. I’m not sure if it could get better.
Goodfellas (1990)
This movie is a masterpiece based on the acting and interesting scenes. I would say it was ahead of its time. This mob drama still stands out as a hands-down classic. This film is a true story about the rise and fall of mob associate Henry Hill narrating his life of crime from childhood up throughout the 80s. This movie became successful thanks to the kinetic camerawork, editing and obviously the performances of the main cast.
The Suicide Squad (2021)
This recent DCEU film is probably one of the best films of 2021. This was kind of a sequel to the 2016 film but it looked like a reboot more than anything. This movie stars DC outcasts who are sent into hostile territory on a secret mission from which they probably won't return due to how dangerous it is. This movie had lots of comedy and action, but it had realistic violence so it is rated-R. Aside from that, the film is surprising and is a dark-humor blockbuster.
The Matrix (1999)
This movie is on the forefront of modern Sci-fi/action movies during the new millennium. It made people in that time think if we are actually living in a computer simulation, that’s how big it was during that time. This movie is about Computer programmer Thomas Anderson known by his hacking alias Neo who believes that a guy named Morpheus can answer his question, What is the Matrix? They would have to fight against enemies that could cost Neo something more than his life. This movie was the start of a new franchise and now in December there’s a new Matrix movie so if you want to catch that then you should see how it all started.
Elf (2003)
This movie is a Christmas classic that is very funny and charming. This movie is about Buddy the Elf who is a human raised in the North Pole and now sets on an adventure to find his biological father in New York City. During the movie, he has trouble adjusting with life in the Big Apple and does pranks of his own. This film became a huge holiday hit with Will Ferrell’s slapstick comedy.
