Movies are a fantastic way to immerse yourself in a beautiful story and the rich storytelling. I have seen various movies from all walks of life but there are some films that have really captured my attention. Here is a list of my top three movies of all time.
The Notebook
The Notebook is a great romantic movie anyone can fall in love with. The film brilliantly captures the love shared between mill worker Noah Calhoun (played by Ryan Gosling) and rich girl Allie (played by Rachel McAdams). Set in the 1940s, the movie highlights the intense connection between the two and how true love is worth fighting for. The story is rich from beginning to end. The characters in this film are both very real and relatable. I think the love they have is something any viewer would want to experience, which made the film more immersive in nature.
When a Man Loves a Woman
This movie explores some of the issues couples can have finding that spark in their relationship. The plot surrounds the story of a man who is struggling to keep his family together, mainly due to his wife’s problems with alcohol. Dealing with substance abuse is never easy but the love Alice and Michael share helps them overcome it.
Grease
This is arguably one of John Travolta’s strongest performances. The film dives into the adventures of a group of high school kids and the complexities of their friendships. This one reminds me of the glory days of high school. The clique rules try to keep Sandy Olsson and Danny Zuko apart from one another but their connection cannot be broken. It is a truly fun and heartwarming film that goes down in the history books as a classic.
