2 days ago · A guide to the 300 Essential Movies To Watch Now, featuring incredible must-watch movies from the 1920s to today, all Certified Fresh by Rotten Tomatoes. The list is sorted by alphabetically and covers various genres, eras and styles, with ratings and summaries for each movie.
- The Graduate (1967) Mike Nichols’ indelible comedy of alienation is that rare thing, a movie that really does define a generation. That’s because there has never been another movie like it (and no, “Rushmore” doesn’t count).
- 12 Angry Men (1957) How elemental — and riveting — is this: an entire courtroom drama set inside the jury room, where Henry Fonda, as the only member of the jury who suspects that a teenage defendant might not be guilty of murder, questions, cajoles and gradually convinces his fellow jurors to look more closely at the evidence.
- Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown (1988) You never forget your first. That may be how many American art-house habituésthink of Pedro Almodóvar’s riotous comedy.
- Alien (1979) A smothering tentacled thingy attaches itself to an astronaut’s face. Several scenes later, an alien fetus erupts right out of his belly, and the cinema would never be the same.
A list of the greatest films ever made, covering various genres, countries and eras, from 2001: A Space Odyssey to Jeanne Dielman, 23, Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles. Find out why these movies are worth watching and how they influenced cinema history.
- The Shawshank Redemption. Released: 1994. Rated: R. What you’re in for: The harsh realities of prison life…with surprising heart. Based on a rare non-horror short story by Stephen King, Shawshank Redemption stars Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman as inmates who develop a friendship over time in a harsh prison in 1950s Maine.
- In the Mood for Love. Released: 2000. Rated: PG. What you’re in for: A slow-burn romance that is absolutely gorgeous to look at. Director Wong Kar-wai has a filmography that could be a film course in and of itself.
- 1917. Released: 2019. Rated: R. What you’re in for: A war film unlike any you’ve seen before. War films have been a staple of cinema since its birth, so you really have to go the extra mile to do something new in that space.
- Gladiator. Released: 2000. Rated: R. What you’re in for: A return of the sword-and-sandals epic, without the cliché. When Gladiator hit theaters in 2000, there hadn’t been a serious “sword-and-sandals” epic in a long, long time.
